GM Danny Ainge: We are very excited to get the new season underway. We had a pretty calm offseason this year but will be talking about a few key additions, and introducing our new coach Doc Rivers who is ready to get us back to the finals. Last year we fell the the eventual champions, the New Orleans Hornets, while we lost the series 4-1 it was hardfought with each loss being in single digits. We focused on getting ourselves better and trying to find the glue guy to replace Donyell Marshall from 2 years ago. Let's introduce Doc and let him tell you more about our additions.
Doc had a 13 year NBA career and is a graduate of Marquette University, we are very excited to announce him as our new head coach.
Head Coach Doc Rivers: Thank you very much Danny I'm excited to be here. Like Danny said we had a pretty quiet offseason the team we have here has already won 1 championship, has the most wins in league history, and is a very talented roster. I wasn't brought here to fix anything, I don't want to make any major changes, we just need to shore up a few things defensively and take it one game at a time. We had the worst 3pt defense in the league last year we hope to have addressed this by training both Baron and Eddie in perimeter defense. Chris is in a contract year and will continue to be a top player in this league and we have brought in Josh Childress via the draft who has already put in the work and improved his outside shot and rebounding. Bo Outlaw signed on and will mentor Josh and provide depth at both the PF and SF positions, and we brought in Bruce Bowen to be a defense specialist.
