By now you may have heard: the Boston Celtics are playing with extremely limited options on their roster. The injury bug has hit this team harder than any home team I can remember in recent memory; but that’s for another post another day. As a result Coach Stevens, in his ever-expanding wisdom, decided it’d be best to rest some players in these final couple weeks heading into the playoffs. Tonight he started with his “senior” (and max salary) player, Al Horford, and his young prize/Rookie of the Year candidate (and possible winner in any other year), Jayson Tatum.
In their absence a bevy of Celtics players arose to meet the challenge.
