If they are healthy the Celtics are a good team. If they are all focused and "on" they are a very good team. If the assorted pieces of the bench have a good night they can not just provide relief but also provide a spark. Those nights they not only permit the starters enough rest for the old guys to be effective in the fourth period but also extend leads and wear down the opposition. If the pieces fall into place this team can beat the best, on any given night.
Unfortunately they aren't the best. Too seldom are they all healthy. Even when healthy too seldom are they all in top form--physically or mentally. The bench has lots of weapons but has almost never functioned as a smooth running machine--this in spite of often being played as an entire unit....
