Celtics coach Doc Rivers talked about a playoff annoyance during today's shootaround.

On the lengthy television timeouts in the playoffs, Rivers said, “We’ve had so many TV games, I don’t think that matters. I hear people say you get more rest in them because they’re longer. I don’t think that stuff matters a whole bunch. They’re (a little longer than the regular-season). But I can’t talk that much more longer anyway, so a lot of times I just get out of them. I stand outside the circle, let the guys talk and then I get in. There is only so much you can say in a timeout.”
