Jeff Green on Doc Rivers: "He made me look in the mirror and figure out what kind of player I wanted to be."
These three quotes from Jeff Sullinger and Jeff Green illustrate why there is absolutely no way Doc Rivers should be booed in Boston tonight:

Sully, as did many players, looked at Doc like a father figure:

Sullinger also credits Doc with his ability to compete and we should all be grateful considering the year he's having:
Sully said Doc told him, "if you wanna play, you can't be a rookie."

Yes, Doc left under unfortunate circumstances. However, let's show him how much we all appreciate what he did overall for the Celtic organization and for the city of Boston with a rousing standing ovation tonight.
