You can't knock the Celtics depth. One thing Doc Rivers got criticized for last year was not having a solid "rotation" but all of a sudden this year the team goes 12 deep with contributors of the bench. In some of these late season games different guys stepped up with 20-5 games when the "big 3" only played 20 minutes. The young guys are scared not to play hard, with KG around, they have some talent and they battle.
As for teams getting rest, the playoffs are so strung out, that it almost doesn't matter. But you would thing that the winner of the East will be a little less worn down from the season's toll.
I also pick the Celtics over the Lakers. I don't think if they make it to the Finals that they will be denied.
