Found December 02, 2007 on MVN:
This team is good, 13-2 in November, but you've seen and read about the knocks. Whether it's the lack of bench support, the excessive minutes being played by the big three, or the suspect coaching of Doc (and his lousy playoff record). But the most limiting factor to garnering a championship may be the lack of playoff experience of the Celtics have as a team, particularly key individuals. If the Celtics do get it done this year, they'll be making history by doing it with two starters that have played either none or less than a handful of playoff games. So I say, let's make some history!
