Doc Rivers let his frustration show following his team's loss to the Bulls Saturday afternoon, giving reporters a Rick Pitino moment when asked about Kevin Garnett sitting on the bench with the team in the first half and not the second.

“Guys, Kevin is not playing in this playoffs," said Rivers. "I’m not answering Kevin Garnett questions. I didn’t even notice, honestly, until someone told me that he wasn’t on the bench [in the second half], and I couldn't care less. You know, hell, he was on the bench in the first half and we were down eight points. So, you know, this is about the players in uniform. Kevin is gone. And he ain’t coming back. The guys in the uniform have to play.”
