THE CELTICS SEASON GOAL

Some quotes from the Boston Celtics on their goals and thoughts about working to be the best defensive team in the NBA.

"The secret is that we came in with no egos, no agendas. One goal and we stick to that.” Said Garnett.

But coach Doc Rivers challenged this year's team to be remembered like the 1985 Bears: one of the greatest defenses of all time.

"It's one thing to talk about it and another thing to actually do it, we're striving to [be the best defense], but we've got work to do. That's the mindset we have to have day in and day out. We're stressing defense every single play, ever single minute."

Asked what he prefers, shutting the opposition down or shining on the offensive end, Garnett didn't hesitate.

"Shutting people down.”
