depth , 4th quarter and 2nd half of season

[rollie mass]

brad may have a very good team for a master coach
the depth and type of depth give him so many options against opposing teams
a first team that hounds guards with a combination of bigs and crowder
then a small ball squad that runs and has crazy energy  and spreads the court while IT penetrates or pick and rolls against inferior 2nd team
you tacticians will have a ball this year with matchups
the celts will own the fourth quarter and as season wears down the celts depth,comittment to team and defence will make us a better 2nd half of year team-

Brad has the brain power and work ethic to handle a huge rotation of players .

The Celtics have depth, that is for sure, and that depth includes a lot of versatile players.  We can put out more combinations than probably any team in the league which is a positive.  The problem is that we lack that one go-to combination, that core of starter quality players that can close out a game.

I think we will be a team that will play every team tough thanks to our defense but then has trouble scoring in the 4th quarter when things get tougher.  This isn't a criticism per se, just an assessment of where we are in the rebuilding process.
