It's well known that he's blown 3 different 3-1 leads. But it's less well-known that he's blown 4 other 3-2 leads, even aside from the 3 3-1 leads.
According to Google AI, nobody else has blown more than two 3-2 leads. Pat Riley and Greg Popovich are the only 3 coaches it's mentioned as having blown 2 different 3-2 leads.

Strange thread to start on a Friday when neither the NBA or Doc Rivers are in the news cycle.

Yeah, since the threads on here about the WNBA and about the Heat having a Miami Vice Day are so much more meaningful.

Only reason he has a ring is because he had 4 Hall of Famers

Doc has to be the most overrated NBA coach in history. Making a career living off the one title with the Celtics big 3
Before the big 3 was assembled, he had been a head coach for 8 years. Only made the playoffs in 4 years and got knocked out in the first round each time.
Since the Celtics big 3 era ended when Ray Allen went to Miami in 2012, he hasn't made it past the 2nd round of the playoffs....despite having very good rosters led by an MVP caliber player in their prime at each coaching stop.
He's lucky Boston didn't fire him after the 2007 season when they had missed the playoffs for the 2nd year in a row and finished dead last in the conference. Without that 2008 big 3 season, no chance Doc would have kept getting all these jobs on teams with championship contending rosters already in place.
