Garnett takes Rivers assessment to heart

After the Celtics lost to the Bulls a couple days ago, Head Coach Doc Rivers questioned the toughness of his team.  Kevin Garnett was caught off guard by the comments from Rivers and shared his thoughts with reporters.

“That’s disappointing, he said that to us,’’ Garnett said. “I’m out there on the floor, I don’t think nobody is out there playing with less effort or half-hearted....Maybe he assessed something different....The coaches obviously have to get us going, put us in the right position to obviously go out and execute the game plan, but if that’s what he saw, that’s what he saw. I can’t go off that. I just have to prepare to play as hard as I can, be ready to play.’’
