Throughout the season, one thing became apparent: the Celtics lack size! Now, I’m not talking about the frontcourt. My focus has become fixated on the backcourt. This year’s roster consisted of a Russian doll rotation of guards, each one gradually smaller than its predecessor.
When the Toronto Raptors and later, the Miami Heat targeted Kemba Walker, the Celtics didn’t have the personnel to change their game plan. Instead, they would rely on Brad Wanamaker to provide steady minutes in the same offensive system. Quite frankly, the Celtics guards were too similar to ever be effective game changers at this level.
