Doc Rivers furious after loss to Raptors

Doc Rivers could have used a bubble bath and a lemon spritzer on Friday night after he left the Air Canada Centre, or perhaps a Boy Meets World marathon and a full body massage. The Boston Celtics coach resembled a geyser the way steam erupted out of his head during the second quarter of Boston’s 86-74 loss to the Toronto Raptors, and matters didn’t improve much from...

Doc Rivers: Boston Celtics ‘not mentally tough enough to be winner’

The Boston Celtics traveled to Toronto, following the disappointing overtime loss to the Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday night. From past experience, Celtics fans would have thought that the Raptors would be the perfect recipe for avenging there heart breaking, OT loss, to the Lakers. Not so fast. The Cs showed up in Toronto looking [...]

Boston Celtics Doc Rivers Has Age Issues

The last two days have demonstrated a clear issue for Celtics head coach Doc Rivers. The Boston Celtics played a very emotionally and physically draining game against the Lakers on Thursday in Boston. Both teams played hard for not only an entire forty eight minutes, but an additional five minutes as well for the overtime. In the end the Lakers managed to squeak out with a one point...

Recap: I nailed the Celtics effort tonight

If you want to know what went wrong with the Celtics in Toronto, just read my preview. It was spot-on, minus the score. The highlight of the game was Doc Rivers outburst during a 20-second time-out. Doc walked onto the court and blasted his players. The above screen-grab (courtesy Chris Forsberg) is a timid snapshot of Doc's tirade. The Celtics sucked. Flat. Out. Sucked. Box score

JaJuan Johnson’s mature reaction to getting reamed out

Had the tirade been directed his way, Glen Davis might have cried. Robert Horry might have thrown a towel. DeMarcus Cousins might have taken the pacifier out of his mouth, asked his mother to stop breast-feeding him and then threatened to throw knuckles.*But when Doc Rivers ran onto the court with his eyes bulging, neck pulsating and a vein popping from the middle of his forehead...

Your Morning Dump... Where #9 was edgy

Every morning, we compile the links of the day and dump them here... highlighting the big storyline. Because there's nothing quite as satisfying as a good morning dump. "Nine [Rondo] was edgy today, man. I loved it," Garnett said. "I love the fact that he came out and he set the tone. And I thought he got guys involved and he was all over the place. When we win...

Celtics embarrassed by Toronto 86-74

There are clunkers, and then there are games like the Celtics played on Friday night. Of course, I'm giving the Celtics credit by saying that they actually "played" the Toronto Raptors. I think some more realistic terms would be "walked through," "forgot to attend" and "were in a coma for." I've seen more energy and aggressiveness...

Austin Rivers Hits Thrilling Shot, But Still Bearing Growing Pains

Celtics hangover results in 86-74 loss to Raptors

Embarrassed. I don't feel any embarrassment but the Celtics better after this game. That usually happens at the professional level when you take a night off in basketball. The Celtics didn’t seem to care and the score showed with Toronto taking this one easily, 86-74. Blaming each other for the miscommunications was hard to watch. Doc Rivers had to call two time outs in a...

Celtics on the low end

With about four minutes left in the game last night, Doc Rivers put his hands on his knees, crouched down, and clapped loudly for his team to play defense, as if he were coaching his son Spencer’s high school team.

Celtics to be without Bass for 2 weeks

RealGM The Celtics will be without Brandon Bass for the next 10 to 14 days because of knee inflammation. Bass felt soreness after Boston’s loss in Toronto on Friday night and Doc Rivers learned the extent of the injury on Sunday morning when he received a call from doctor Ed Lacerte.

Austin Rivers Has Been On A Tear Lately

The most highly coveted guard in the Class of 2011 committed to Duke on September 30th of 2010. Since that day, he has received immense media attention (both good and bad) and has shown himself to be one of college basketball’s most polarizing players. Playing for Duke, this does not surprise. While both the media and Duke’s own fanbase have been critical of Austin&rsquo...

Your Morning Dump... Where Doc is still pissed off

  Every morning, we compile the links of the day and dump them here... highlighting the big storyline. Because there's nothing quite as satisfying as a good morning dump. "If they want to use the overtime [Thursday] night (as an excuse for Friday's poor performance), then we are not mentally tough enough to be a winner," Rivers said. "If you're...

Doc Rivers: Brandon Bass May Be Out ‘a While’ With Swollen Knee

Turns out that Brandon Bass’ right knee isn’t ready for game action, which comes as a surprise to his coach Doc Rivers. From the Boston Herald: “Brandon Bass, despite swelling in his right knee, returned for three games last week after missing only one game – Feb. 5 against Memphis.
