No, the troubling part came when a voice inside the Boston locker room suggested the Celtics were still better than Orlando, despite a 1-3 record against the Magic this season, including two losses at home.
"One of the guys said, 'We're better than Orlando,' and I said, 'No you're not. That's a bunch of crap,'" Celtics coach Doc Rivers said after Sunday's 96-89 loss at TD Garden. "They beat you three games, two at your place. They're better. They knocked you out of the playoffs last year.
"Orlando's better than us right now. Atlanta's better than us right now. L.A.'s [the Lakers] better than us right now. Those are the teams that have beaten us. That doesn't mean that we can't be better than them at some point. But right now, those teams are better than us."
"One of the guys said, 'We're better than Orlando,' and I said, 'No you're not. That's a bunch of crap,'" Celtics coach Doc Rivers said after Sunday's 96-89 loss at TD Garden. "They beat you three games, two at your place. They're better. They knocked you out of the playoffs last year.

I also go with Big Baby, no chance Doc has the stones to talk that way to KG, Allen, or Paula...and I'm sure Perkins would have piledriven him into the ground had he been the one scolded. Perkins gets my vote as current player most likey to be the next Jayson Williams

KG can't be that stupid. As others have said, probably Big Baby (you can't call me that anymore) Davis.

I love 'Sheed but it sounds like him. On the other hand I doubt Doc would have had that reaction...

No... I mean sounds like 'Sheed still believing they are the better team. When the Blazers were 0-3 in a first round series and everyone was saying it was over 'Sheed was like 'we are not done' and they became the 2nd team to get to a game 7 from 0-3. The game 7 was tied about 3 minutes out in the 4th. NVE saved the mavs from holding the distinction...
