Coming into this game, JB is 17/61 (27.9%) on wide open threes.

Circumstantial.

Was replying to SD who was assuming number is higher when he’s wide open on his threes. It’s much lower.

JB made them pay for a stretch.

Right. He's an average 3pt shooter when you guard him, not when you leave him wide open lol.

Was about to post this, BK was saying something similar a few weeks back…

I’m not saying previous teams hated each other, but these guys are really enjoying playing with one another for the first time in I don’t remember how long. Maybe it’s just natural progression of maturity from the Jays, maybe it’s the additions of KP and Jrue but this is the most unselfish Celtics team we’ve had in a long time.

All nine main rotation guys of the Celtics are now above league average in true shooting %. Pritchard had a TS% of 79.2% in this game.

The Celtics are now the 2nd best shooting team (61.0% TS%) in the league behind OKC (61.2% TS%).

One last thing about this game, it was refreshing to see the Celtics throw the drop coverage scheme against Curry right into the garbage bin. They were on him like glue the entire time he was in there and low and behold, it worked

If Brown plays close to this level on bothe end consistently through the playoffs, the Celtics gonna sweep through the East playoffs like Thanasis sweeps Fiserv Forum after games.

At least Udoka had the good sense to get fired so the Celtics could hire a head coach that's not going to mindlessly drop against the greatest shooter the game has ever seen.

Joe was the architect of the drop defense against the Warriors in the Finals and used it against the Warriors in previous meetings as a head coach

As fans, we all deserve a drama-free easy sweep through the playoffs and winning the title. 8-)
