Owner Real Deal Posted December 9, 2012 Author Owner Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 http://sports.cbsimg.net/u/photos/basketball/nba/img21325887.jpg BOSTON -- Boston's old guys just needed a little pick up. Philadelphia coach Doug Collins provided it. Kevin Garnett scored 19 points, Jeff Green added 16, and the Celtics won the back end of a home-and-home with Philadelphia, beating the 76ers 92-79 on Saturday night. During his pregame press briefing, Collins said that Garnett had played over 50,000 minutes and Paul Pierce 48,000. He added that veteran Jason Terry had also played a large amount of minutes in his career and there was no way his team should be more tired than Boston. Celtics coach Doc Rivers first agreed that "he's right," but later joked that he might tell his players. After the game, Rivers said he passed the message along. "I did," he said, smiling. "It was great. Thank you for that, media." Asked how his players responded, Rivers said the usually fiery Garnett "reacted the way you'd think he'd react." Pierce, though, just found it all kind of amusing. "It was amazing that he calculated that," he said. Pierce finished with 13 points and Rajon Rondo dished out 11 assists and collected nine rebounds, one night after his first triple-double of the season. Rondo had just seven points.http://www.cbssports.com/nba/gametracker/recap/NBA_20121208_PHI@BOS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
