Ex--Orlando Magic coach Doc Rivers, canned this season after a 1-10 start, says his biggest mistake in Orlando was never turning off the hoops. "I'd approach the tee and wonder if a play could work better if Tracy McGrady moved two feet to the right," says Rivers, an avid golfer. "I have to handle that better next time around...
