The Celtics were in business mode again Monday, particularly while being back in the building where their own title hopes were dashed four months ago in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference finals. Facing a barrage of questions about old friend Ray Allen, Boston players did their best to keep the focus on the opener. "I’m here to play the game and get the hell up out of here," barked Kevin Garnett when asked about Allen. "Period, point blank." When a follow-up question asked if he would talk to Allen, Garnett ended the brief confab by saying, "Y’all be safe down here in Miami. It’s flooding, make sure you in the high SUVs." Rondo downplayed the first matchup against Allen, but not without a tiny jab. "We're two different positions. I'm sure I’ll probably chase Ray around some screens," said Rondo. "But I dont’ think he’ll be [guarding] me."
