The 10 Best Lineups in the NBA Playoffs Since 2001

4) 2011-12 Boston Celtics

Lineup: Rajon Rondo, Avery Bradley, Paul Pierce, Brandon Bass, Kevin Garnett

Net Rating: 22.9

In a shortened 66-game season, the Celtics won 39 games in the 2011-12 campaign. They would go on to win 11 more in the postseason, where they were ousted in the Eastern Conference Finals by LeBron and the Heat.

As a whole, this lineup was a big success in the playoffs. They might have averaged fewer field goal attempts per 100 possessions, but they had an advantage of 7.4 in field goals along with a free throw percentage margin of 15.2% in 123.2 minutes.
