Allen said he would be open to a reduced role as he got older, something Iverson refused to do.
“Whatever

Doc is 100% correct. But at some point soon the light will go off, and this Celtics team will realize there is no switch and they need to put forth maximum effort for the opening tip til Doc calls off the dogs in the final quarter.
The Celtics square off against the Raptors tonight at 7:30. At this early hour, we have tentative plans for a live game blog. Scratch that…there will not be a live blog. Sorry…
