Boston Celtics

Division doesn’t add up to much

The Celtics won the Atlantic Division tonight. Time to pop the champagne?

“It really doesn’t mean anything to the Boston Celtics,” said Paul Pierce. “They don’t put that banner up. Maybe in other arenas they put that banner up, but here, it really doesn’t mean a thing.”

OK, so the coach must be excited at least.

“Not really,” said Doc Rivers. “We’ve done that. We’ve done that 3 of the 5 times I’ve been here…not here. I don’t think anywhere really. We definitely don’t hang division banners. It’s nice to have, but no, I guess not.”
