To me it's mostly health. I simply am not giving up on these guys when we have been down 2-3 "key" rotation guys, all season. They have not been able to get any rhythym whatsoever.
1. So, first, get healthy and stay healthy if possible.
2. Then, as Racker jsut stated, get some mojo because of it.
These tow things in themselves put us over the top of Cavs and lakers IMHO
3. Third, find a way to get some nasty toughness on the bench. Doesn't ahve to be a huge trade or signing. Even is you could add a Nate Ronginson and a Reggie Evans type, guys with motors and attitude, we would rocket over the Cavs and Lakers. I am not so much worried about the hawks or Magic if we are 100% healthy.
TP for Celtics 17, re Celts needing back up point. Absolutely baffling to me on Ainge's part. He has an elite point in Rondo and has simply refused to just get an even adequate back up for him for three years. Cassell and Marbury are not adequate.
All we need is and Anthony Carter type. Anyone who understand how to run the point and can hit a shot every now and then. One year, maybe you can't fin the right guy to get behind Rondo. But three years? No back up point? Real back up point...
