Doc Rivers: players' coach

[Eric Albert]

"That's a credit to the coaches. They never panicked," said Wally Szczerbiak, who scored 20 of his 35 points in the third quarter while all but single-handedly rallying the Celtics to a 37-25 third quarter run. "Doc is just so much fun to play for. He's just an amazing coach and I'll go to war for him any day of the year, any day of the week. He's done a great job of preparing us and it's up to us to perform in the games more."

Wally tends to say good things in general, but it's hard to believe he's making this totally up.  So there's a side of Doc we don't see.  Wish it showed up in the W-L column more.
