Stevens clearly has an arsenal of talent to choose from. He likes to go ten deep, but maybe there is heavy competition at the rotation's bubble.
Those guys will need to seize every opportunity. They need to be Phil Pressey and be able to play well without any wake up alerts about playing time.
A lot will boil down to how players perform. David Lee was the starter, then he ended up in the Siberian region of the deep bench.
I've decided to up my prediction game and claim 65 wins and the #1 seed. They do not have the pure talent of KG, Paul and Ray, but it's close enough. The team might be deeper today over then. I think the Celtics will gel early and often with many easy wins.
And I will ignore wet blankets who claim that every team outside of Golden State, Cleveland and possibly the Clippers is irrelevant.
I suppose if we're winning 65 games, I will go all in and predict the Celtics win their 18th title this season.
