Video: Doc Rivers dubs Carmelo Anthony a "foul magnet" + Jeff Green speaks
On guarding Melo, Doc said they'll use three guys vs. just one because Melo is a "foul magnet."

Doc: "Because if you guard him alone, you’re going to get into foul trouble. We want to avoid that as much as possible."

So, his Carmelo quote got cut out of the video above, but it's probably the most interesting thing Doc said today. Also I like how he pretended to not know what division they were in.
Don't expect Jeff Green or Paul Pierce to be the only ones trying to stop Carmelo Anthony. Doc noted that Brandon Bass could get in there as well.
Speaking of Jeff Green though, he spoke at practice today too. One thing of note that Green said was that he wouldn't allow Doc to rest him for the final two games. He said that playing all 82 games was something he wanted to do after heart surgery.
If Doc asks JG to sit one of last two games, JG jokes, "I'll shake my head and tell him no." Playing all 82 after surgery a source of pride.
