He's given us great hope and he's given us great confidence. I didn't see this out of him this year. I just thought it would take next year before he got his legs under him. Benefit number one is his health.
More Quotes from Doc Rivers:
Because they go pick-and-roll we wanted to go man-to-man on them and force them to beat us off the dribble or make a shot with a hand in their face. I didn't want them to go to the bucket, cause contact (from a helping big man), and put it in someone else's hands to let them do it at the foul line.Doc Rivers
You just got to feel at some point, it's going to turn our way. I felt horrible for them. They fought their butts off. I thought other than the middle of the third quarter, when we stopped playing for one stretch, I thought we played just great basketball.

If you make a lot of changes in this league and even if they can play, it takes time for it to work. Then when you start losing, the snowball starts. I don't care who you are, it's tough to turn around. I would hate to see them next year, even if they make no changes. I would bet you that they'd be much better.
