<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Win a few, lose a few. That formula has enabled Glenn ``Doc'' Rivers to make a comfortable living as a head coach in the NBA. A 112-100 victory Friday against Orlando at the FleetCenter improved the former Magic mentor's career record to 194-192. Rivers is 23-24 in his first season with Boston. The numbers are unimpressive, but good enough for the Celtics to be solid contenders for their first division championship since 1992. They lead Philadelphia by a half-game atop the woeful Atlantic Division. Rivers at least can savor a sweep of the three-game season series with the Magic, who fired him less than three weeks into last season. Even a mediocre start likely would have allowed him to stay and pursue his fourth consecutive trip to the playoffs. Orlando opened with a victory at New York, then was saddled with 19 consecutive defeats. Rivers was tossed when the streak hit 10. ``I kind of knew it was coming after the start. I was shocked that it was that quick, but you've got to move on,'' he said. ``I had a great run there. That's the way I looked at it. You try to look at the positives.'' </div> Source
