Message: [QUOTE="intlzncster, post: 2716594, member: 56"] I'm not sure too many teams in the NBA are intimidating in terms of "JC toughness" (anymore). The Warriors intimidation factor lies solely based on superior skill. There's not too many Oakley/Rodman types running around these days. The toughness I see from the Celtics shows itself best in how they can come back from 15+ down with regularity. They're never out, even without the comparative elite star power of other teams. It's mental toughness. I think Philly was probably a bit overrated, given the garbage they played (and admittedly beat) coming into the playoffs. But it's not like they were a pushover. [/QUOTE]
