Is Small Ball dying?

Boston's record on the season was 64-18 which means they won 78% of the time.

Against the East, they were 51-11 which is an 82% win percentage. Against the West OVERALL, they were 13-7 for a 65% win percentage which would put them in 4th place in the West.

Come on man... 4th and 1st place in the West was decided by 6 games... BOS won the East by 14 games... Had they played a full West schedule there is little doubt they'd be the 1 seed in the West by at least a 4 game margin...

And guys like Wemby, Chet, Joker, LM, KAT, Turner, NAZ, Horford, etc can hardly be called "bigs" anymore... they play, shoot, space, switch and move more like wings that rebound long 3s.
