If you think about it, we won 19 games in a row and we gained one game on Cleveland. That tells you how well Cleveland is playing. We gained three on Orlando. So, we didn't gain anything.
--Doc
Die-hard Celtics fans are familiar with the concerns Doc Rivers expressed before the playoffs began last season. They hadn't been tested. They hadn't faced adversity. Instead, they had a turmoiless 66-16 season.
That won't be the case this year.
Yes, we've only lost a couple of games in the last month, but Kendrick Perkins' ongoing shoulder problems have again revealed how woefully thin this team is at the center position. Even the addition of a Scot-Pollard type looks good right now. The second unit hasn't found it's groove, and the first unit seems to suffer through bouts of amnesia, forgetting that Ray Allen is a member of the team until and unless they need someone to foist up a desperation attempt with the shot clock running down.
None of this is cause for despair, and all of this is correctable.
But their is a sense of turmoil here that wasn't present during the regular season last year.
