The question of whether Doc Rivers remains head coach of the Celtics will remain on the minds of his players until a decision is reached.

?Doc?s everything - everything,? Kevin Garnett said. ?It?s going to be a rough one.?

Rivers was reportedly closer to walking away when the Celtics were struggling during the middle of the season.

?I think everyone wants him back - that?s not even an issue,? said Garnett. ?It?s just a matter of whether Doc wants to come back and whatever decision he sees fit to make for him and his family.?
