Rasheed Isn't Worried About Shooting Woes

Celtics forward Rasheed Wallace isn't worried about his recent shooting struggles.

He went 0-for-8 from three-point land in Friday night's loss to the Magic.

"I ain't worried about it, honestly," said Wallace. "I probably rushed about two or three of them. Other than that, it's good looks, they're just not going for me. I'm not worried about my offense now. It's still early in the season, I know I won't be shooting like this for the duration of the season.

"It's just a matter of making some shots. Everybody goes through it, no matter if it's 2-pointers, 3-pointers, or foul shots - everybody goes through slumps every now and then. But the key, or the heart of that player will determine how he plays. I'm not the type to let the threes get me down. I'm missing a couple threes so I don't want to do this any more - no. I'm out there playing basketball."

Earlier in the week, Celtics coach Doc Rivers asked Wallace to stop attempting so many threes.

Rivers: Garnett Isn't Finishing On Offense

Celtics coach Doc Rivers says that Kevin Garnett is still in the process of recovering from last season's knee injury.

At times, Garnett lacks explosiveness and he went 5-for-13 from the floor in Friday night's loss to the Magic.

"No he's not (finishing)," Rivers said. "One day he's explosive, one day he's not, one day he's healthy, one day he's not, and that's just gonna take time. Coming into the year, obviously you would want him to be explosive if you could pick tonight. Tomorrow we don't need you.

"But you could see that today," he said Friday night. "It takes time. Some days you have legs, some days you don't. It's your back. It doesn't matter what the injury is, almost. That's just how it works."
