Rivers: 'Change means a lot of things' Celtics coach Doc Rivers dropped in for five good minutes with PTI on Wednesday afternoon, addressing his outburst after Sunday's loss in Detroit. Here's a chunk of the back-and-forth (questions in bold) as transcribed by our friends at CelticsHub: Is this team simply turning it on and off right now? Well I hope not. The reason is, it’s not the same group. We have nine new players on this team. I keep hearing that and that may be true with some of the guys, and maybe even with some of the new guys think, 'well that’s what has been done in the past.' This group has to learn about how to play together first before you think about turning it off and turning it on. That may be true, I hope not and as you know, no coach wants to hear that. You said the other day might have to make changes after the game Sunday night. Do you still feel that way? Change means a lot of things. I think in this day or time when you say changes you think trades. We’re pretty consistent lately with our lineups since when Avery’s come back. Changes mean [changing the lineups] as well. When I say changes, it can mean a lot of things and a lot of times, it’s that [changes to the lineup]. Q: So when you talk about changes, you aren’t talking about trading people. I thought I heard you say at one point you were going to get people out of here. Do you still believe that? It’s not volcanic, except it was after a game and everything is volcanic after the game. That is true though if at some point we feel like this is not the right group, we will have to do that. We are not going to do anything though that hurts this team in the long run. This is an interesting group because we do know that we’re getting older with some of our guys. We also have added some younger guys. There is patience on one end, but we have to make sure we have the right mix of guys. That’s a question we don’t know get to know for awhile, so that was more what I was saying. Celtics coach Doc Rivers hopes Ray Allen gets big round of applause when returns to Boston on Sunday for 1st time. “He made a business decision,’’ Rivers told FOX Sports Florida about Allen leaving for the Miami Heat. “But he helped us win a championship. I hope he gets a good round of applause when he’s here. He did a lot for this franchise.’’ 在本週一客場輸給底特律活塞隊之後，塞爾提克教練Rivers曾經憤怒的表示，如果再打不好，球隊就要做出改變。很多人都猜測這是交易來臨的跡象，不過在今天對陣尼克斯的比賽之前Rivers接受採訪時卻表示他說的改變並不是指交易。 "改變意味著很多東西，"Rivers說道。 "我覺得目前來看當提起改變時你們肯定會想到交易。但當Avery回歸之後，我們的陣容已經相當整齊穩定了，所以陣容調整也是一種改變。那時當我談起改變的時候，它是意味著很多東西和很長時間的，這次就是改變陣容的意思。" 而當時Rivers還說過如果打不好，就會有一些人離開的話語。對此，綠衫軍教練解釋道："現在好多了，只是當比賽剛剛結束時我覺得有些憤怒。不過在某些時候我覺得現在我們還不是一支走在正確道路上的隊伍，這可是真的。長遠來看我們不會去做任何傷害球隊的事情。目前我們是一個很有趣的團體，因為我們有一些隊員正在變老，而同時也增加了許多年輕球員，這也是需要耐心的一個理由，但我們必須保證球隊要擁有那些適合的人選。我們不知道還需要多久的檢測期，這是個問題，這也是我當時那麼說的原因。" 下週一，熱火將客場挑戰塞爾提克，這也是Ray加盟熱火以來首次以對手的身份到訪波士頓。談起這場有點特殊的對碰時，塞爾提克主教練Rivers表示，希望現場球迷能給阿倫報以熱烈的掌聲。 "他做了一個商業決定，但他幫助我們贏得了總冠軍，我希望他能夠獲得熱烈的掌聲。他為這支球隊做了很多。" 此外，Rivers還希望在揭幕戰中冷落了阿倫的KG，最終能夠和阿倫和好如初。 "那就是KG，不過他們始終有一天會再次成為朋友的。現在，他們是競爭對手。" 儘管Rivers對阿倫的離開表示失望，但對於RAY的為人，Rivers並沒有改變他的看法。 "當他離開的時候，我很不高興。我以為他不會離開，我以為他會留下來。不過，我是站在塞爾提克這邊的。儘管是這樣，我不會改變對他的看法，他是一個好人，我和他的關係非常好，這是不會變的。" http://espn.go.com/blog/boston/celtics/post/_/id/4701534/rivers-change-means-a-lot-of-things -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 118.160.32.233 ※ 編輯: b9002052 來自: 118.160.32.233 (01/25 09:49)
