that's an incredible season for them so far. I wonder if that level of play will hold up when the opponents have a little better pedigree in the playoffs. Also that Miami "Dream Team" has been good but not great in the regular season. Sometimes having only 1 ball makes a big difference when many stars are all competing for it.
I assume the Celtics will begin to let the more ancient players start to rest a little by using the bench more now that they are in the playoffs , etc. The old guys do benefit from rest and the new bench needs time on the court to sharpen up.
Should be an interesting playoffs with the Celts a little better than last year , the Miami team overloaded with star power , san Antonio apparently juggernuaghts and of course LA waiting to be hated by every other teams fans in the playoffs.
