We had zero movement. And today in our shootaround before the game, it was probably the longest we’ve ever gone on offense. All I kept stressing is the ball does not need to touch the floor; it needs to touch more hands. It has to move. Orlando’s too good defensively to play iso basketball.”Lexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164041545153442690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-159003855959232638.post-31594060894708087752010-05-30T09:42:49.977-04:002010-05-30T09:42:49.977-04:00Two years ago, Rivers’ job was to temper the wild ...Two years ago, Rivers’ job was to temper the wild expectations of bringing together the Big Three.

They were so far away, so uncertain the possibility remained plausible. The longer the season had gone with worn legs, beat-up bodies and bad losses, the clearer the truth had become for Rivers. They would stop angling for playoff seeding and home court, stop treating the regular season with urgency.<br /><br />Doc Rivers has guided the Celtics to the NBA Finals in two of the past three seasons.<br />(NBAE/ Getty Images)<br /><br />“Listen, we’re going to practice harder, you’re going to play less and there’s going to be a minute restriction,” Rivers told them. Garnett’s and Pierce’s faces grew long, and Rivers punctuated his declaration with the obvious: “And I know you’re not going to like this, but the only way you’re going to win is healthy.”Lexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164041545153442690noreply@blogger.com
