Doc stands up for Allen

It’s easy to see why the players love Doc Rivers. He never throws a player under the bus, no matter how easy it could be for him to do so. Rivers has been asked numerous questions about Ray Allen’s struggles in the last few weeks, and when asked again today, the coach stood up for his veteran shooting guard.

“We’re 1-0” said Rivers. “We’re in the Eastern Conference Finals. Again, that’s all we look at. That’s all we care about.”
