I mean the pressure of knowing the offensive and defensive sets without having had any playing time before the playoffs. I don't think they'll have any problem with their individual play, but the Celtics play as a team, so I'd want them to get used to it. I actually think Cassell should have a decent number of minutes before the playoffs, since he is the point guard and will have the job of running the offense. Knowing players' tendencies and where they like to get the ball will help with timing and efficiency. For any other position, limited minutes would be a good option.
