I never thought I'd live to see a coach up 3 intentionally foul the trailing team. That being said, will any other coaches learn & follow his lead? I'm posting:
Yes +1000
No -1200

Will any other coaches learn from Doc Rivers example tonight?

He did it because his ass knew he absolutely had to.
Hell, he should've pulled a hack-a-ben game 7 vs Cleveland with 3 mins left to extend the lead, but didn't and Cleveland came within 1...I figured he just didn't want to win like that.

I'm still impressed that he "knew".

Even Phil Jackson made that mistake two years ago when the Lakers were about to upset the Suns. Jackson decided not to foul and the Suns hit a three. Originally Posted by DrunkenLullaby

Who knows but if the Zen master doesn't do it, there's something really wrong.

Right....something really wrong...with him! Most overrated IN-game coach of all time. Originally Posted by rainbowworld

Don't remind me about "Calamari" as OF would say, please.
That piece of trash screwed me.

Could it be the one-word abbreviation for "Mr. Big Shot"? Originally Posted by crazyl

a win is a win. that is a smart thing to do. but it wasn't good for my bet, i got celtics spread and was rooting for OT so celtics might have a chance to cover.
