It is really nice to have a balanced team both in age and size after those brutal years we went through an old  and undersized team.

Finally we get some youth, and size.

Good job by Danny.

The team is good and fun to watch. Hopefully Danny can trade in some of these guys and upgrade. We still need a shooter at SF and an athletic big.

don't get greedy we have a lot of scoring... we need a rim protector.

I still think undersized is a word that very much applies to the Celtics, but the depth and balance is a nice change.  The fact that they don't suck on the boards is a really nice change from a few years ago.

Oh yeah that board thing, did we not have a coach that did not believe in offensive rebounds?

That coach apparently have records of choking many playoff series.

We don't have to be coached that way because we aren't old anymore. I'm sure we were told to get back b/c if we failed to get the rb, it would be trouble trying to get back late with the older players... or something LOL, I don't know why Doc wanted it that way...

Celtics have a very strong roster but just missing that superstar. Hopefully, Brooklyn and their top 5 pick will provide that.

We need a LEGIT center, someone who can block shots and shoot the ball and hit free throws. We will have to see if we get this center through trade or by drafting.

But beating OKC tonight is not a measuring stick for how balanced or good we are. They are missing Durant. Durant= taller and longer than anyone on our team and plays the 3 lol....and is a top player.

Also I will probably catch some crap but IMHO this team is inflated rather than balanced.

We saw balance at its finest during the 08' and 09' until KG hurt his knee. That team was not nearly as deep and youthful, but we sure had balance. Maybe if Perk was better we would have truly been "balanced".

Imagine drafting PP, Ray, and KG and watching them grow together. Those 3 together is balance.

Inflated in what way?
