5:52 - One of the biggest concerns with this Celtics team is figuring out who can step up with a big shot other than Kyrie Irving. Which players will need to make an impact in the playoffs?

9:06 - It's been discussed that Kyrie Irving and Al Horford could sit out a few games down the stretch. Is this the right move by Brad Stevens or do the Celtics need to establish a rhythm down the stretch?
