SEATTLE - Some of the Celtics practiced yesterday morning. Some of the Celtics stayed in bed. After four games in five nights, Jim O'Brien decided it was best if his top six minutes-men saw the inside of their eyelids instead of the inside of a gym.


The Celtics are now 2-2 on their western odyssey, having won in Denver and Portland and lost the second game in two back-to-back situations at Golden State and Seattle.
