starting to feel a lot like last year... all sorts of troubles early... underperforming players getting minutes... and then injuries suddenly started defining roles and the team found an identity.

Granted, our identity this year will be drastically different than last year... but we're starting to form one.

Yup

Collins, the off the ball foul drawing expert.

Celtics are really screwing things up for the tank mode peeps right now.

True.   I think I'd rather lose 20 straight than go 10-10.  Not saying I'd enjoy it, but.

Hopefully, this team can surprise everyone. Still will need another big.

Granted, our identity this year will be drastically different than last year... but we're starting to form one.

I don't think injuries had much to do with it, other than with JO. Bass was playing well in his role before injuries, Wilcox was playing well, and we could've used him in the playoffs.

So don't know what you're particularly pointing to.
Were you not watching last year?  We were plagued by injuries last year... Wilcox, Jeff Green, Ray Allen, JO... from that we had to force Bradley and Bass into significant roles and we were forced to switch KG to center.

I'm not even a Bradley fanatic and even I realize that injuries contributed to the defined roles of last season. 


This year is completely different, but injuries once again are defining roles for us.

Completely forgot about the Ray Allen aspect, that said, Ray was playing well last year until the injuries.

Main problem last year was KG and Pierce out of shape in the 1st half mostly though.

But, I don't agree with the injuries in the big man rotation being of any help. Other than the JO issue and what it would've meant for Wilcox's playing time.

Bass was more productive for us off the bench last year, so that we had to force him into our starting rotation didn't help us none.

Pierce, the only one, doing too much.

TP I feel that too
Celtics just need to get 2 big man in free agency/trade, and they'll be real contenders
