The biggest Celtics Achilles heel remains that they shoot too many threes and make zero adjustments if they aren't falling.
It's done them in each of the last few seasons, and it's why they lost the two games they lost so far this year. It's so weird.

Crazy Joe Mazzulla says 3 point attempt rate is the most important stat in today's NBA.
I look at it this way, the Celts in June will have one of these 2 things:
1. An 18th NBA crown
B. A new head coach.
I prefer 1, but if they fail to achieve that, I'm all for option B.

If Boston gets out of the East, their three-point situation is going to get a hell of a lot tougher against Minnesota or OKC, who both have multiple long, talented wing defenders. Open looks are going to be very difficult to find. I'd pick either of those West teams over Boston.

Hopefully it's just a Game 2 thing

Should thing progress to that point, Porzingis' availability becomes a possible deciding factor in the whole thing.

Was thinking that.
Should we see the Celts advance and win game 1 of the ECF, all of us need to place large wagers on the Knickerbockers in game 2.
he's not wrong in the long term - but i think he's missing the short term impacts of going cold in a short series. it's clearly something that brad also believes in (and they're hardly alone in the nba).
i mean.. it's better than loading up on guys who prefer shooting mid range jumpers like Phoenix and the Clippers - but yea - when you're so over-reliant it leaves you susceptible to upsets.
they also just seem to lack energy at times. if the celtics played with the grit of the knicks or timberwolves they probably would have won 70+ games this year.
they're still a clear favorite to win the east, but there's always been something about this group that's been a bit off in the big spot, which is really weird for a team with as much playoff experience as boston.
I wonder if Thibs will send the goaltending of DiVincenzo to Carslilse so he can review
Blessing in disguise - with all the injuries it was good to get some rest. Now go win game 5.
And hey - Zards for 2!

Pistons are loving the new lottery system.
two years in a row they slip from 1 to 5. what a kick in the balls.
Bronny listed as 6'1" despite always being listed as 6'4".
a lot of 6'1" point guards who average 5 points per game get drafted.

#17 overall to your Los Angeles Lakers.
The reports on the death of the Denver Nuggets have been greatly exaggerated.

Everything's an exaggeration when it comes to Stephen A.

Fewer than 24 hours and the Donovan to the Lakers bullshit has already started.
Don't their fans understand that they've already traded away their valuable assets?

Apparently the Cavs will accept Austin Reaves and a second round pick for him.
could we have two New York vs. Boston Eastern Conference Finals at the same time?

Yeah, I'd say the NBA it's pretty likely, the NHL its fairly unlikely, though not out of the question.
