Danny Ainge was finally able to get his guy at the helm in Boston, and as Doc Rivers was introduced at a press conference at the Fleet Center yesterday afternoon the Celtics owners, players and team employees all showed their appreciation.

Rivers communicated well during the conference, saying that while there might have been safer jobs for him to persue this summer Boston was the challenge he wanted because of his relationship with Ainge, they are the history enriched Celtics, and that the team always wants to win.

"I don't know [if taking this job] is a gamble," said Rivers. "Well, I guess it is, but it's the one I wanted to take. There were probably safer situations out there, but I liked this one right away. This is the Boston Celtics. I don't think you take the safe job all the time. I'm going to make this work. I have a great relationship with Danny. And I'll tell you something -- they haven't won it every year here, but they want to win it every year."
