Celtics coach Doc Rivers isn't going ban gambling among his players.

In the wake of Gilbert Arenas' recent gun scandal in Washington, the Nets have banned gambling on the team plane.

"I am not going to that extreme," Rivers said about banning gambling. "I think we always overreact to that stuff. Gambling didn't cause that problem, Gilbert's actions caused this problem. There has been gambling before I got in the league. There's been arguments and obviously, because guys make more money now, the stakes are higher. But, having said that, our rule on the plane is they can do whatever they want as long as they keep it under control. They are going to have some arguments every once in a while, but if it divides the team, then it's a problem."

It is believed that a dispute over a gambling debt led to brandishing of guns between Arenas and teammate Javaris Crittenton.
