In the wake of their demoralizing Game 1 loss to the Bulls on Saturday afternoon, the Celtics are focused on getting Ray Allen more open shot attempts over the remainder of the series.

"We have to do better job getting Ray open," coach Doc Rivers said. "We didn't set enough picks for Ray. That's what he does and I thought we failed to do our jobs. We've got to get him open, give him more time. I think he had two good looks in the game, one was late in the game, but even then, the pass was late."

Allen was 1-for-12 from the field in the loss, one of his worst shooting games of the season.

"Probably get him shots in transition," point guard Rajon Rondo said of setting up Allen better, "that's how he gets his jump shots. He didn't get any layups -- he missed a dunk -- the way our team is built, especially with KG (Kevin Garnett) out, we need to get out on the break a little more, get Ray and Paul easy shots, get them to the free throw line. That way, their jump shots are flowing easier."
