The way the Celtics play is analytically correct but when they're missing shots it is just brutal to watch.
I'd argue if you're the more talented team, you actually hurt yourself by focusing too much on the 3-point shot, since you're diluting your talent to something that's higher variance. More blowouts, but point differential doesn't matter in the playoffs.
I don't think it's much of an argument, it's pretty straightforward. When that large a proportion of your shots are 3s, you're feast or famine in a huge way.
