When Doc Rivers suggests that he doesn't think his team is capable of flipping a postseason switch this season like it did last season, it's because he doesn't think people quite understand what his team did a year ago.
Battered by in-season injuries, the Celtics' only hope last season was to shut down their stars and hope they'd be ready for the playoffs. So long before April even arrived, Rivers and his staff sat down and mapped out a plan of attack.
This season there's none of that. And on the heels of Sunday's embarrassing loss to Miami, Rivers admitted he's not as confident of his team's ability to go deep in the playoffs because there is no master plan.
