    Just saw on Channel 2...they said Doc Rivers turned down an interview request by the Rockets because of his desire to stay in Orlando.

    Why would he want the interview? He knows he doesnt stand a chance to land the job with Brown and JVG eyeing on it.

    `Hes also the guy who kept saying Mookie Blaylock and Steve Smith were the best guard duo in the NBA. One year later no one knew who those guys were playing for.

    I think it's great. That's one less guy CD and Les have to interview and the quicker they can make a decision.
