After Pat Riley released in a statement that Danny Ainge "should shut the f--- up and manage his own team," Ainge maintained that LeBron James should not complain about the way he is being officiated.
Ainge had told a Boston radio station that James should be "embarrassed" for complaining about officiating.
"What did I say?" Ainge said. "I would say we're both right. LeBron should stop complaining. I complained as a player and I should manage my own team. We're both right."
Through a team spokesperson, Riley said: "He was the biggest whiner going when he was playing and I know that because I coached against him."
The Celtics will play the Miami Heat one more time in the regular season -- a road game on April 12.
