You know, this team has been far from perfect and is well deserving of criticism...but the biggest praise I can give them is when it has come down to the final 1.5 - 2 minutes of every game they have consistently made the big plays on both ends of the floor to close things out.
And that is NOT something I've been able to say about this Celtics team in past years. I really believe if this was last year's team we would be at best 2-2 or maybe even 1-3 by this point.
