Due to a slew of injuries, the Celtics now only have two available players with more than two-years of experience.

?That?s a lot (of young players),? Doc Rivers said with a smile before quickly changing his tone. ?But there?s nothing we can do about it. I don?t feel bad about it. It?s what we have. That?s who we are.

?We talk about the young stuff because we have to,? the coach said. ?But I don?t want to use that as an excuse. You can?t use that as an excuse. I can?t allow them to use that as an excuse.
 
?I don?t know how you use young as an excuse and then ask for urgency. If (losing) is just because they are young, then we have to wait. But then how do they have a sense of urgency from game to game? That?s the point that I?ve tried to make.?
