New executive director of basketball operations Danny Ainge said he would not meet with players until after the Celtics finished their postseason run. That could be as early as Monday night.

Boston moved one game closer to elimination with an embarrassing 94-76 loss to New Jersey last night at the FleetCenter. The Celtics never led and trailed by as many as 25 points in the fourth quarter.

After the game got out of control on the court, it spun out of control on the sideline when Antoine Walker went after a fan seated behind the Celtics' bench. Throughout the game, a man in a business suit heckled Walker, calling him ''horrible'' among other things.
