The Boston Celtics have entered the all star break and although they have no all stars, they are just 1 1/2 games out of playoff position.
Since trading two of their key players forward Jeff Green and all star point guard Rajon Rondo, they have been playing at a high level, which is a surprise to many people. The Celtics have won four of their last five games, including a win against the Atlanta Hawks who have the top seed in the east.
Coach Brad Steven has been able to utilize his players to their full potential. Some many criticize coach Stevens but he has been able to as much with less than anybody in the league.
