Quote:
Despite claiming that he wouldn't rest any of his players down the stretch, Celtics' Coach Doc Rivers said on Thursday that he will give players some time off once the team clinches home court advantage, according to the Boston Herald.
"You don’t talk about rest publicly because you actually have players who read the paper more than the coaches. So you just kind of let it stay out there. No one knows what we’re going to do except for our staff," Rivers said.
"I’m going to absolutely start playing some different guys for a while. We have a chance here with . . . two days off, a game, and two days off. It’s a quirk in the schedule that we have a chance to take advantage of, and we’re going to take advantage of it as far as different minutes, different guys resting, and then cranking it back up," Rivers added.
