Celtics hope to leave inconsistency behind
The Boston Celtics sputtered down the stretch of the regular season. They were shaky at home all season.
Through injuries and inconsistency, coach Doc Rivers guided his veteran group into the playoffs, but only as the fourth-seeded team in the Eastern Conference.
With the same starting five that won the NBA championship just two years ago, he insisted the Celtics are “definitely” ready for the playoffs.
A few minutes later, though, his words weren’t as convincing.
“I think we’re ready,” Rivers said. “I mean, we have to be. It’s not like we can say, ‘Can you hold up for a week and let us get ready?’ So I think we’ll be ready.”
