The Boston Celtics play a style of basketball that rarely has one person stand far and above the rest. Isaiah Thomas has truly taken over on the scoring front with 19.3 points per game. The problem is that the Celtics have come to expect a lot of scoring from Thomas and they know that that is no where near enough. The key for the Celtics will be finding which role players are able to step up and take over in a game.
The Celtics are going to need solid performances from everyone who gets significant minutes and from that, at least one player will have to separate himself from the pack and be one of many difference makers the Celtics will need to steal wins from Cleveland.
