Some odds and ends from today's practice

After missing last night's game with a rib injury suffered during Wednesday night's game, Avery Bradley underwent another set of x-rays due to a lack of improvement in his condition.

To be clear, Bradley's condition has not worsened; the Celtics are just being cautious. Coach Doc Rivers said at practice today, "They just want to make sure his ribs aren't cracked or something like that. I think the X-ray showed it wasn't, but maybe do a deeper one just to make sure."

Bradley's x-rays came back negative, and he travelled with the team after today's practice. Rivers said after last night's game that Bradley status is on a "game-to-game basis."

In the 8 games he's played this season, Bradley has helped the Celtics compile a 6-2 record.

Another interesting tidbit from today's practice was the aftermath of last night's heart-breaker. By that, I mean how the Celtics dealt with the loss.

Rivers said the Celtics sent a video of last night's questionable jump-ball call to the NBA offices.

When asked what he hoped to accomplish by sending in the video, Rivers responded, "I would feel better."

Fair enough, but it doesn't take away from the sting of the loss, Doc.
