Doc Rivers is entering his third year as head coach of the Boston Celtics and he has compiled a 78-86 record here. The Celtics have a pretty young roster behind Paul Pierce and Wally Szczerbiak, so Rivers will have to be a teacher as the coach here. Rivers has coached 7 seasons in the NBA with Boston & Orlando and has compiled a 249-254 record, so he has to take the next step as an NBA coach himself, or he won’t be around too long.

Rivers was 3-4 in one appearance with the Celtics in the playoffs and has an 8-14 career playoff record with the Celtics & Magic.
