BOSTON -- Former Celtics coach Doc Rivers said it bothers him that his 2008 title team remains fractured and that he wishes his players would get past their differences, particularly as Ray Allen prepares for induction into the Basketball Hall of Fame on Friday.
Allen's relationship with his former teammates has been icy ever since he defected to the rival Miami Heat during the summer of 2012. And it doesn't appear ready to thaw any time soon.
"As years have gone on, things have been fractured, and I hate it. I hate seeing it," Rivers said Tuesday while in Boston for the annual ABCD Hoop Dreams fundraiser that he runs with current Celtics coach Brad Stevens.
