Pat won 4 with the Lakers and 1 with the Heat.

I think he also won 2 with the Lakers as a player.

Doc was doing really well this year, but he got the support from the upper management, and more importantly, the support from veteran players - the big 3.

I think he never won a playoff series before. It's such a strange thing that perceived losers can be winners overnight.Luck does play a huge part, sometimes.

Hopefully both Yao and TMac would catch such luch someday, starting an injury-free season.
