Playoff possibilites for the Celtics

The Boston Celtics have a very strong team with a lot of seasoned veterans who know what it takes to win a Championship. The big 3 of Allen, Pierce, and Garnett are getting older but Rajon Rondo is emerging as one of the most dominate point guards in the league and has shown he can put the C's on his back and carry the team to victory. In addition to this, this years Celtics team has one of the deepest benches I can remember. New addition Mickael Pietrus is a knock down 3 point shooter and an excellent defender who can come off the bench and instantly make an impact in the game. Also coming off the bench is Brandon Bass. Bass was traded for Glen Davis this off season and his play on the court has greatly benefitted the C's. He adds another big body for the Celtics who has the ability to rebound and block shots in addition to being able to make mid range jump shots. The Celtics have also seen great progress from back up point Avery Bradley. He is becoming known by other point guards as a lock down defender and is improving on his offense constantly. With great depth from the bench, the Celtics could easily pull an upset in the playoffs over a team like the Heat or Bulls. As long as the Celtics can stay healthy and continue to let Rondo run the offense, they will be a very tough out in the post season. The Celtics bench may be the edge the team needs to add another championship banner to the TD Garden.
