"We have to play him short minutes, short spurts,"
said Celtics coach Doc Rivers. "That's all you can do. It's not going to
get any better at this point."The 6-foot-10 big man played
nearly 19 lackluster minutes in Tuesday's 91-84 Game Three loss, scoring
just two points on 1-for-5 shooting."He's struggling," Rivers
admitted. "His back is killing him, but he's just trying to do what he
does. We understand that."
