Just so much to like about this team... but here's one more.  It's obvious without the numbers, but they just concrete the fact about how balanced this team is.  On a per 48 basis, the C's top 3 are within 1.6 PPG of each other.

Ray Ray - 25.4
Pierce - 24.3
KG - 23.8

How do you game plan to stop a team that doesn't care which of 3 players(and plenty of the time 4) does the damage on offense?

The only possible defense is to pack the paint, quick double in the post off of Rondo as much as possible. That makes us jump shooters and if done properly forces us into bad possessions. If done poorly we get lay ups off of interior passing and open 3s. By bringing in House we remove this option.

But yeah its pretty scary. Especially so because we have three players who can be the focal point if they're hot or the match up is favorable.
