"When Celtics take less than 44% of their shots from 3: 14-9 (60.87%)
When Celtics take at least 44% of their shots from 3: 40-5 (88.89%)
No other team in the NBA takes 44%+ of their shots from 3 as season average ".
Guarding the three is the key to beating the Celtics. I hate the way the game has changed.
too many good shooters.
widen the court, move the 3 point line back. only way this changes.
I'm not sure that helps. Just more space that defenders would need to account for.
Eliminate the corner 3 and I think that would make things more interesting.
