History

Historical Context

After the Celtics assembled the ‘Big Three’—Paul Pierce, Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett—in a 7-for-1 trade on July 31 2007, they posted a 66-16 record in 2007-08 and reached the 2010 Finals. In the 2010 Eastern Conference semifinals, Garnett’s hamstring loss and OG Anunoby’s injury highlighted the team’s reliance on depth, a pattern that has long shaped Celtics playoff outcomes.
