Paul Pierce Defends Doc Rivers From 'Overrated' Title, Pins Blown 3-1 Leads on Superstars

Pierce said Rivers is “great at motivating” and “great out of timeouts,” arguing the infamous blown 3-1 leads belong to the stars. “I put that on the players,” he said, adding superstars should win one game without coaching. Rivers has lost three 3-1 series leads, once in Orlando and twice with the Clippers. Pierce called him “great play calling,” too.
