Before the season started, much was made of Boston’s depth of quality on the roster. All nine rotation players could conceivably start and star on other teams. In any given game, any of them can go off for 20-plus points (only Marcus Smart and Aron Baynes have yet to reach that mark this season). A shuffling of the starting lineup has more evenly spread out the talent between the first and second units, but this is still a team that doesn’t necessarily have those blue collared, hard hat wearing unsung heroes that provide a backbone for a championship team.
