Celtics Big Four?
Remember many years back, when the Celtics were the doormat of the NBA? They could only wish for a season like Larry Bird used to give them. Then, they acquired some blockbuster names. To go along with star Paul Pierce, they added Timberwolves' Kevin Garnett, and the SuperSonics' Ray Allen. They meshed about as good as they could, winning a championship in 2008. Well, after last year's exit provided by Orlando, they have come back with a vengeance this year. After ousting the Cavaliers in impressive fashion, they have taken a 2-0 series lead against Orlando. The big three (Pierce, Allen, Garnett) have played superbly, but it hasn't been one of them that has made the most difference. Rajon Rondo, the star-in-the-making, has provided the necessary spark to go above and beyond this postseason. The remarkable thing, however, is how the big three have allowed themselves to take a back seat to Rondo without any second guessing. This shows the complete selflessness and unity on the Celtics team, which has brought them to new levels this postseason. Forget the big three, how about the big four?
