Boston will struggle in a playoff series because their best big is a poor rebounder and their best layer is incredibly easy to exploit defensively. So as the game slows the whistles dry-up and shots get harder, the opposing team can game plan to create an easier look and have a grater chance of rebounding the miss
The Celtics might be the 29th ranked team in defensive rebounding, but don't forget that Toronto is 30th. The Raptors have also been regressing defensively. They look putrid on that end while their offense has come back down to Earth.
