Doc Rivers: Ray Allen is 60%

Yesterday Celtics caoch Doc Rivers addressed reporters on the status of guard Ray Allen who's been out since April 10th with a sore ankle and bone spurs and as The Real NBA warned yesterday, Allen may miss time during the Celtics 1st round series against the Hawks.

"I don't know if I am confident or not, I don't have an answer," Rivers said. "I have no status. If (75 percent) is probable, I would probably lower that to 60 percent. How about that?"  If he's ready to play, we're going to play him....Whether he has rhythm or can make shots, the game will dictate that. Our guys will dictate that. But I'd like to see him on the floor because like I said, rhythm or no rhythm if I tell Ray to stand in the corner, someone's going to stand next to him and that creates spacing for us."
