Two down, two to go. The Celtics hit the midway point of their pre-All-Star break homestretch last night, beating the Knicks, 111-94, at the FleetCenter. The next two teams to visit hail from the Western Conference (Sacramento tomorrow, Memphis Wednesday), but coach Doc Rivers believes Boston can still enter the break with positive momentum.

Doc Rivers is going to New Orleans, although, as he noted yesterday, he hasn't spent "one ounce of time" thinking about what he'll do as coach of the Eastern Conference All-Star team. Kevin Garnett has been the leading vote-getter all along and will be named one of the five East starters tonight, unless Barack Obama's New Hampshire pollsters have been ...

At halftime of last night's 111-103 victory over the Knicks, Celtics coach Doc Rivers turned to Ray Allen and said, "You'll have to go to New Orleans with me."

WALTHAM -- Doc Rivers could not remember exactly when the Celtics last played the Pistons. And he wasn't exactly looking for a way to refresh his memory after practice yesterday afternoon.

Images of NBA coaches during games with red faces and steam pouring out of their ears don't really tell the story, according to Celtics mentor Doc Rivers. It's more the day-to-day churning that does them in.

When Doc Rivers has dinner with Orlando coach Johnny Davis and Magic players Pat Garrity and Grant Hill sometime next summer, there should be some interesting conversation.

The practice was already scheduled. The long practice was not. But after watching the atrocity in Chicago Monday night, Doc Rivers made the Celtics work a little longer than planned yesterday. The coach conceded it may even backfire.

If Doc Rivers adds another assistant coach to his staff as a replacement for either Tony Brown (Milwaukee Bucks) or Dave Wohl (Celtics' front office), he will have worked with eight assistants during his Boston tenure. For perspective, that is twice as many assistants as wins without Paul Pierce last season.

With 3:04 remaining in the third quarter of last night's game, and the Celtics in the process of getting annihilated on the glass and possibly losing yet another home game to yet another ho-hum team, Doc Rivers finally remembered his 12th man and summoned him for help. If that sounds like desperation, well, it was pretty close to that. This ...
