No RSVP from LeBron, no problem

Celtics coach Doc Rivers joked in his pregame meeting with the media that just because LeBron James and the Cavaliers weren't attending Boston's banner celebration and ring presentation, the show would still go on.

"First off, I didn't know they were invited," Rivers deadpanned. "That's No. 1.

"And No. 2, we're going to still have it. You know, just because he's not going to come, we're not going to cancel it.

"And No. 3, I wouldn't want to be there, either. I get that, too. I understand that. First of all, it's long. And secondly, they're giving us something (NBA championship rings) that they want. So, yes, I have no problem with that. I agree with LeBron 100 percent on that."

Said James, "We don't need to watch it. That's for the fans. They probably couldn't see over us if we stood on the court. So we're going to sit in the locker room."
