Do the Celtics have another gear? 

Post#1 » by DJToLarry » Sun Apr 20, 2008 2:41 am

Do the Celtics have another gear for the playoffs? Teams like San Antonio and Detroit are known for cruising during the regular season and raising their game in the playoffs. KG has gotten his team to give max effort for every regular season game. Have we seen the best of the Celtics? Or do you expect the Celts to raise their game as well?

Honest to god. KG has even more intensity left in him. From watching him in Minny he's gonna put up beastly playoff numbers unless we cruise against all the teams.
My Starting 5:

PG: Allen Iverson
SG: Paul Pierce
SF: Kevin Durant
PF: Kevin Garnett
C: Patrick Ewing

Definitely. Get ready for overdrive. KG will try to average a triple double now. We've seen Paul step his game up in the playoffs in the past and Ray seems to play his best when it really matters, and when he has a day or so off. The playoffs should be incredible.

James Posey and Sam Cassell will also be really incredibly intense. If there's anyone who has a reputation for fading in the playoffs, it's eddie house, so I guess we'll have to wait and see.

The celts are like a BMW, M5. they have 7 speeds. I'm guessing they have only hit 5 so far.

If thats the case, lets hope KG does not blow the motor when going into 6th and 7th gears.

All three of the big 3 have been restraining themselves all season. I think its fair to say they have another gear.

Absolutely I think they do.. even in today's game I thought they could have played harder if they needed too.

On defense, I'm not sure. On offense, I know that Pierce does, and I'd think that Ray and KG would as well. I'd guess Cassell as well.

You can rev the engine to 8,000 RPM. It would be pretty hard to do.
