Mike Fine of the Patriot Ledger has covered the Celtics through three decades. He is considered one of the "grizzled veterans" of the press room and doesn't throw around superlatives superficially, so his recent exclamations of glee at the team's success have been rather shocking.
Check this out from his column of March 28th .
What's left now but preparing for the two month war they call the playoffs?
Mike is on that topic,ahead of the field, as displayed by his column of April 3rd., looking for what Doc Rivers might reveal about his potential strategies.

Simply the best. Better than all the rest.
The Boston Celtics don’t have anything left to prove in the regular season. Friday’s lightning-quick, 112-92 demolition of the NBA West-leading New Orleans Hornets said it all.
Another in a string of great wins over another great team – Phoenix by 20 points one night, New Orleans by 20 the next – this one gave the NBA’s best team a victory over every other team this season, something the franchise hasn’t done since 1990-91.

Playoff preparations are about to begin for the Boston Celtics, ...but Rivers says he’s simply concentrating on each individual game....one thing he won’t do – at least until he clinches – is alter anything his team does in order not to give away any secrets heading into the playoffs.
