Five keys to the Celtics season

With the addition of some new faces to the bench, this season seems to be less about the "Big 3" and more about the entire team. Rajon Rondo has expanded his role, Rasheed Wallace is already a fan favorite without even playing a home game, Marquis Daniels showed his unselfishness by taking less money to play for the team, and they are off to a good start. Tuesday's victory over the Cavaliers - a win that snapped an 8-game losing streak in Cleveland - is a positive moving into tonight's home opener against the Bobcats. On the eve of their Boston debut, we look at the five keys to the Celtics season success.
