This Celtics team is constructed to weather virtually any storm

This thought started during the playoffs last season. Kyrie Irving, Gordon Hayward and Daniel Theis were out of action with an assortment of injuries, and the backups went all the way to Game Seven of the Eastern Conference Finals. And taking the Pelicans out 113-100 recently with Kyrie Irving, Al Horford, Gordon Hayward and Aron Baynes all on the bench with various maladies solidified this thought - this team is so well- constructed, it seems to be able to weather virtually any negative issue. It is built like a steel-reinforced concrete bunker.
