Reports confirm that Emma is ill, but details about what she is suffering from have not been released. The coach responded to the incredible outpouring of support he has received since announcing he would miss the game via the  Columbus Dispatch : “I appreciate so much the number of messages I have received since the announcement, but this absolutely is not an emergency.

Irving -- who is villain No. 1 in Boston -- and the Mavericks went 0-3 at TD Garden during the championship round. It's been five years since Irving spurned the Celtics and left via free agency, but fans remain extremely miffed at the talented but mercurial guard. Aside from some lackluster play on the floor, Irving did very little to repair his image with Boston fans during the series. He said that he   wasn't impressed with the Boston crowd in Game 1 , and then spoke of   the Celtics "cult"   the day before Game 5.  Visit to the Boston bench Celtics fans got the last laugh though, with the team winning the franchise's 18th title at the expense of Irving and his Mavs. Before leaving the floor late in Boston's 108-66 title-clinching win on Monday night, Irving stopped by the Boston bench to congratulate t
