With rebounding still a pressing issue for the Boston Celtics, it is time for Stevens to get creative and put in Jordan Mickey.
The Celtics finished 2016 with a gutsy yet frustrating victory over a short-handed Heat team on Saturday night. Despite the Heat not having their two best offensive players, Goran Dragic and Dion Waiters, the Celtics were only just able to eke out a victory thanks mostly to the heroics of their pint sized superstar Isaiah Thomas and his 52 points.
As the Celtics go into 2017 they will attempt to consolidate their position at the top of the Eastern Conference and to do this they must step on the throats of weaker teams like the Heat.
