Brad Stevens has done a remarkable job with the Celtics, but still lack a player to truly rely on. Isaiah Thomas is really good, but can be a match-up liability at times due to his size. The Celtics are in position to be at the top of the Eastern Conference moving forward, but they just don’t have enough to make a real run in 2016.
