Doc Rivers, the head coach of the Celtics, believes that the future is now for the team, according to the Boston Herald.
"We do have some nice young guys, as well," Rivers said on Sunday. "That’s the trick, and who knows? Do you stay with what you’ve got and keep churning it out, or do you make a move?"
"I don’t know. I mean, you can look at all the sports and teams have done it both ways. The Chicago Bulls, could they have won one more? Probably. So that’s the question. Hopefully, we can answer that question. That would be great," Rivers said.

Things just keep getting worse for the Miami Heat.
According to the Associated Press, the Heat were held to 17 field goals, which is a new low since the shot clock was introduced, before losing 88-62 to the Celtics.
"They got D-Leaguers out there, so I think we just handled our business," Celtic forward Paul Pierce said. "We're supposed to do that. We knew this was a game we were supposed to win, and we just focused from the jump and went out and did it."

Sam Cassell's contract expires at the end of the season, but there is a chance he could remain with the Celtics as a member of Doc Rivers' coaching staff, according to the Boston Globe.
"Basketball is my passion," Cassell said. "With me, you like to get paid for what you do, but this is my passion. I've been wanting to be a head coach in this league for a while. Just don't be surprised if I leave this game as a player that I might be right up here with Doc on the staff."
"I think he would be a great coach," Rivers said of Cassell. "I just would hate to be in his meetings because he never shuts up. And how would you keep him quiet on the bench? But he has an unbelievable knowledge of basketball. I told him a week ago, 'I hope you're not retiring any time soon, but if you do, I'd love to have you stick around.' And I meant it."
