willjr,

3 out of 4. Stephan Curry came in 6th that year.

The missing player came in 3rd.

It would have to be either Durant or K. Leonard. Along with the ones I listed they’re the most prominent players remaining.

Flip a coin?

I’m gonna say K. Leonard, only because that was Durant’s first year with GS and I’m guessing his stats were somewhat down in his effort to defer and assimilate with his new teammates.

willjr,

Correct.

Bonus Trivia Question:

Paul Pierce averaged double-digit points per game in 17 of his 19 NBA Seasons.

Which two seasons didn't Paul Pierce average double-digit points per game in his playing career?

JoJo White

He played his heart out in that series against Phoenix. They proved to be a worthy opponent for the Celtics and played hard. Paul Westphal kept them in the series, he was one heck of a ballplayer. I know I have said it before many times but that triple overtime game was the greatest game I ever saw. Sitting in the second balcony, right in front of where Hondo hit the "leaner" shot!!

Cousy was not drafted by Red, he was drafted by another team (?) who then traded him to a team that went out of business, Chicago, I believe and then Red took him in that lottery. I just read the Cousy/Russell book and remembered that from it, I think????

Just a guess but I would say Rajon Rondo

Correct.

Rajon Rondo lead the NBA in steals per game in 2009-2010 with an average of 2.33 SPG.

Here's the Celtics single season steals per game leaders (top 20):



Thanks for playing.

Stop the presses I finally got something right.  It was just a guess.  I was going to pick ML Carr but then I recalled that he came to us after having ranked 3rd in the NBA in steals.  Don't quote me on that
