Doc Rivers and the Celtics are not expecting to be able to catch the Cleveland Cavaliers for the top seed in the playoffs.

"We've earned the record that we have right now," he said. "We're not going to catch Cleveland, but we still have a chance to hold onto the second part of that. The bottom line is these are not injuries where guys are not going to come back - they are going to come back - and we have time to put the pieces together. We know the picture of the puzzle, we just don't have the pieces in place. We'll get them together, it's just going to take time."
