Not only is the dunk amazing... Rondo is priceless in that

^awesome, first the one arm man, then the one leg man, nice....

Ok, allow me to break it down.


KG- (Great at #4, not true #5, would have trouble against Howard/ Gasol Finals match up, Older/ health, doesn't have same defensive ability as two years ago, can't play large mins/ playoffs).

Bass- (Not really strong #4, can't rebound, can't post, slow feet, can't match -up against tall (bigs)/ athletic- He can shot, play help defense, plays pick roll well.

Green- He isn't a big- Green is a hybrid, sorry he is. He can't play #5, can't play #4, hasn't yet shown he can play the #3 at ok level. I agree there is talent but outside of flash dunk, or one hustle play, the guy looks lost at times, show little passion, hasn't rebound well, can't defend true bigs 4/5

Sully- Sully is a rookie, period. He's short, not very athletic, trouble defending bigs 4/5. He has ok post- will improve game and can board the glass. But he's a rookie and cannot match up against Bosh, Gasol, Howard, Bynum, Ibaka, Perkins, Jefferson, ext...

Darko-


This team cannot rebound the BASKETBALL! Period, they have no true center/ size in the post

Example- Look at an ok team (Sixers) i'll remove the Thunder, Heat, Lakers all teams we are chasing. Sixers, have long athletic guys that hit the glass= second shots and tired Celtic defense.

Take into account after play hard defense for 20 seconds only to have Thad Young out rebound you three straight shots. It happens every night with Boston.

Ok, you take Bynum, Hawes, Thad Young, Lavoy Allen, Dorell Wright----They all are hitting the glass on every shot.

We have Garnett, I hope your not counting on Darko, Sully in the playoffs

If so, it will be short.....

So YES to, " what "

Also the Celtics have 2% chance of beating Heat Playoffs, right now.

I know they can't rebound, but you cannot say they don't have depth, we have more big man depth than most in the league.

Also, way to forget Wilcox, most likely our most important center off the bench.
