Houston's working with role players, rookies, and a 6'6" center. Maybe just a little difference... The Celtics do it with a slew of talent and several current and former all-stars.

I'm also going to assume that you also know that Houston is playing without any Hall of Fame-bound players right now much less All-Star players. It's easy to play hard when you have 4 All-Stars that can lead you into battle but when you have Chuck Hayes, Chase Budinger, and Aaron Brooks leading the way? That's something else in its entirety. I don't want to take anything away from how the Celtics play but I doubt anyone in America (basketball fans, coaches, NBA players, GMs, etc) could have predicted that the Houston Rockets would start the season 3-1 while being 9th in points per game this season. They are winning because of what Matt said: outsmarting, outhustling, and outworking the opposition. But if you want to swap Kevin Garnett for Chuck Hayes or Paul Pierce for Kyle Lowry, be my guest. “Watch a Celtics game sometime pal”
