Do they win a title with a core of Easy Ed, Gallatin, Sharman, and Cousy?

Re: Add Harry Gallatin to the pre Russell Celtics.
Sorry, while I have a feel for Macauley, Sharman, and Cousy, I don't really have any handle on how good Harry the Horse was on defense which is where they need the help. They had Arnie Risen from 56-58 who was presumably an adequate center; he won a title in Rochester as their leading scorer though he was 30 by the time Boston got him. Jack Nichols was seeing time at forward ahead of Jim Locscutoff who had a good defensive rep so presumably he was earning it at that end too since their big 3 did all the scoring. I just don't know if it's enough to get them from where they were to a title.
