Celtics Return To Practice, What Will Doc Watch Tonight?
BOSTON (CBS) – After getting a couple of days off following their sweep of the New York Knicks, the Boston Celtics were back out on the practice floor Wednesday afternoon.
No surprise, Shaquille O'Neal was not on the floor. But coach Doc Rivers was surprised at the media gathering at Health Point in Waltham.
"There's a Game 7, you guys should not be here today," Rivers joked, referring to the Bruins-Canadiens Game 7. "I'm very disappointed in all the Boston media today."

The Celtics do not yet know their second round opponent, but the Miami Heat could clinch their series Wednesday night with a win over the Philadelphia 76ers.
"I'm cheering for Philly the next two games, and then Game 7, I don't care who wins," Rivers said.

So is Rivers more likely to scout the Celtics next opponent Wednesday night, or watch a series deciding Game 7 for his TD Garden roommates?
"Both, I have two TVs," he joked.
All signs point to a Celtcs-Heat series, with Miami up 3-1 on Philadelphia, but for now the Celtics are focusing on their own team.
"The opponent has been us," said Rivers. "We get a chance to work on our stuff, very similar to the start of training camp. You don't really have an opponent, but you work on your stuff. We have an opportunity to do that, with rest."
