There are so many things wrong, stupid, and unbelievable about that quote. For starters, the Lakers DID beat their starting five during the regular season. Secondly, the starting five that the Celtics beat to win a championship ring did not include Andrew Bynum or Ron Artest. Thirdly, Rivers is implying that the Celtics can make the NBA Finals again with their current team that only added Shaquille O'Neal to their roster and lost Rasheed Wallace to retirement.
Doc Rivers is one of the most overrated and egotistical coaches in the NBA. Of course, many people will try to put that label on Phil Jackson, but he's simply egotistical, not overrated. Jackson has 11 championship rings to back up how good of a coach he is. Doc Rivers has ONE ring and so-called "analysts" will claim he's a better coach! I'm sorry, but the last time I checked, a coach's worthiness is based on their postseason win-loss record, rate of getting to the postseason, and amount of championships won. ESPN is already trying to hype the Miami Heat as the team to beat this season, but their team has no bench whatsoever, a proven to be ineffectual coach, and only 1 proven winner. Just because Lebron, D-Wade, and Bosh are on the same team doesn't mean they will even make it to the postseason. Everyone knows that the Lakers are the true team to beat!
