Doc Rivers had some choice words for TNT Analyst Magic Johnson after the legend commented that the Celtics appeared to lack "mental toughness" during their Monday night loss to the Cavaliers, according to The Boston Globe.
"I don't think you can make that statement [if] you're no longer in it," Rivers said in response in Magic's comments. "If you keep moving and keep going forward, I don't know how you can make that statement."
Paul Pierce disagrees with Johnson as well but did so much more diplomatically.
"Probably the way we finished the game, the last couple of games, it probably showed that. But I think this is a pretty mentally tough group. We've been able to bounce back, even in the playoffs. This is another opportunity to show how mentally tough we are coming into Game 5," Pierce said.
