Friday against Golden State was not a easy task as the C’s prevailed Friday night with a 109-106 stunner over Curry and the Warriors and then Sunday, the C’s clinched a playoff berth against the L.A. Lakers with a 107-100 win.
The Celtics are currently 4th in the Eastern Conference standings as they moved up 2 spots with Miami remaining at 44-32 and Charlotte losing to Cleveland, making them drop to 6th in the standings. If we were to play a 7 game series in the first round of the NBA playoffs today, the C’s would face the Miami Heat.
The usage of PG Terry Rozier is something that Brad Stevens has been utilizing for a little while. Rozier has the rare ability to rebound better than some big guys (grabbed 7 rebounds in yesterday’s victory over the L.A. Lakers). Along with Rozier, PF Jonas Jerebko has been a quiet success story that hasn’t produced a lot of talk. Although Jerebko doesn’t put up eye popping stats, his work ethic and how he fits in the C’s offense is phenominal and Brad Stevens knows it.
