Celtics Coach Rivers To Return Next Season?

It's been speculated all season that Boston Celtics coach Doc Rivers was going to take a break after this season. But after last night's series losing loss to the Miami Heat, Doc went on to say this...

quote:

"I'm leaning heavily towards coming back,"... "I haven't made that decision. But I can tell you that I probably will. I've kind of come to that over the last couple of weeks. I'm a Celtic and I love our guys....I want to win again here. I do. And I'm competitive as hell. I have a competitive group, and so we'll see. But I can tell you that's where I'm at today. Tomorrow, I may change my mind, but that's where I'm at today." Rivers then added: "I don't believe this team is done."

I don't know if the team has fully recovered from Kendrick Perkins being traded to the Thunder, so I'd imagine Doc leaving could really be a hard hit to the them emotionally.
