I do not like the Celtic ISO offense. I wish the ball was whipped around with 5 guys touching it on every possession, with MOVEMENT.
If you replaced Porzingis with a great pick setter (Dave Cowens is the best the Celtics ever had), they'd win 70 + games easily. Plus, you'd hopefully be adding someone who is a great REBOUNDER and willing to take charges and blitz screens.
I don't advocate Tatum or Brown being the pick setter, but the lack of a great pick setter really kills the offensive possibilities. But the best alternative of whipping the ball around and MOVEMENT aren't practiced. So, you get STAGNATION. Joe, you suck ...
Wouldn't have mattered if the refs gave the Celtics the Free Throws they deserved.
An alternative view:
Pts + Rebounds + (0.5 x Assists) + Steals + (0.5 x Blocks) - Missed Field Goals - (0.5 x Missed Free Throws) - Turnovers - (0.5 x Fouls)
+29.5 Jayson Tatum 45 minutes
+26 Derrick White 41 minutes
+17.5 Jrue Holiday 37 minutes
+13.5 Kristaps Porzingis 41 minutes 2 sub-standard games in a row Against Atlanta ... ???
+11.5 Jaylen Brown 39 minutes Not a Max Player Performance ????
+8 Luke Kornet 13 minutes
+8 Sam Hauser 23 minutes
+3.5 Payton Pritchard 19 minutes Bad Game
+2.5 Xavier Tillman 9 minutes
Team Total = 120
