Why is Doc Rivers so coveted? He didn't do alot in Orlando. He goes to Boston and gets a title with 3 All Stars and now he is an elite coach?

I personally think he's overrated
The fact that he only won 1 title with the first big 3 is pretty disappointing. The talent on that team s**tted on any other team in the NBA at the time, besides the Lakers I guess. They should've won more than 1 title.

This. At this point, he is overrated. But, it seems as if a lot of players like him... except Rondo lol

Garnett was never the same after his knee injury in '09. (where he missed the playoffs) And they came within inches of the title in '10.

No, but I think he's a good one, and slightly better than the other guys that are available like Karl & Hollins.

George Karl has never had the talent that Rivers won with in Boston. I think he is just as good a coach if not better than Rivers

His Seattle teams were more talented than the team that Doc won with in Boston, IMO. Karl's teams almost always underperform in the playoffs. I don't think the difference between the two is huge or anything, but I'd definitely go with Rivers.

Rivers didnt have to coach against Michael Jordan in the finals either. I would go with Karl every time. Guess we will just have to agree to disagree.
