You don't win 60+ games two years in a row with a "bad roster"...
Not only that, but nobody seems to acknowledge that
1) Shaq and Antawn NEVER played with each other until the playoffs began.
2) Mike Brown completely fucked up Antawn's effectiveness by trying to make him a spot up 3 point shooter. Byron Scott won't do that, Scott isn't an idiot offensively. Antawn should be placed on the low block where he can use his style effectively.
3) Anderson began suffering severe back spasms during the 1st round after he tweaked his back. This limited his effectiveness the rest of the postseason, especially against a team he ate up in the regular season.
4) Offensive pace. Again, Mike Brown was lost offensively. No set plays, no movement.. Lebron at the top, 3 point shooters spot up, Andy/JJ cut to the basket, Shaq create a blackhole.. That was pretty much the offense.
Yeah, I neglected to mention the Mike Brown "deer in headlights/omg it's the playoffs I just pissed my pants at the thought of countering Doc Rivers' moves" syndrome. Not to mention that for as much as it pains me to say this, the Celtics were a pretty damn good team (as Byron Scott reiterated in his presser yesterday).
