I personally just like to win. The math gonna math. And yes, bows, when we do lose, we didn't shoot enough 3s.

I don’t think they’re gonna win a ship just shooting 3s left and right. We shall see.

Except that's what they already did last season. They had one of the highest 3-pt attempt rates in NBA history.

They won't win if their defense is subpar.

No they didn’t dude. They’re shooting a higher rate this year of 3 points by a lot .

[ConstableGeneva]

Mazzulla a maniac. Really wants this lead to be whittled down to 3 or something.

[Ben-N1ce]

They Iso the whole quarter..no timeouts..Jesus Christ

[redslastlaugh]

Man, when the team shoots 37% on 3PTA or 111 points per 100 possessions. And same team shoots 57% on 2PTA or 114 points per 100 possessions, and the solution to flat play is just crank the math by shooting more 3PTA … I’m just shaking my head

Yes, this season it's higher. So what? They already shot an incredibly high rate last season and WON. And they're still winning doing that now.

Defense is gonna be the key to a chip. Like it always has been, for any title team.

[Homerclease]

Ridiculous. Why does Joe still do this? This team doesn’t have to “figure it out” on their own. They’re NBA champions with the same rotation. Slow down the other teams momentum and draw up a play to get an easy basket

[Celts17Pride]

Have the Celtics got a stop in the 2nd half?

Maybe two stops

[Parliament10]

Put the Bench in!!!

JT eyes back of his head

[playa-hater]

Yeah, I know, every team has their highs and Lows.But I swear the celtic ceiling and floorsl have to be thea farthest apart of any team.

[ConstableGeneva]

Prime example... We're losing this quarter because of poor defense.

[NYCelticsfan136]

What a complete joke of a quarter. Keep chucking those 3s

They’re a little hot and cold, but yeah.. they’re up almost 10 points on 3PR this season. They doubled down which I don’t love.

[Parasite]

Just absolutely putrid defense. Gross

[165bows]

Now we know everyone saying they shoot too many threes and it will catch up to them are wrong.

If they are shooting poorly from three they just need to shoot even way more threes.

I still prefer a combination of both inside play and outside. Still shoot too many 3s for my liking.

I personally just like to win. The math gonna math. And yes, bows, when we do lose, we didn't shoot enough 3s.

My understanding is how the basketball nerds look at is, is the defense can’t consistently control how other teams shoot from three so the goal is to just limit the number of opposing three point shot opportunities.

PRITCH

[doogie_hauser]

Oh my PP !!!

[Shak_Celts]

Sammmmm

[ConstableGeneva]

Keep shooting them threes, IDEC.
