Is Boston just wearing the guys out by how much more they make them run, chase and close out on the perimeter every play?

Every player that touches the floor for Boston can shoot 3s

It’s called modern basketball.

We are still waiting to adapt I guess. We will keep running the running back through the A Gap and wonder why we are winning the time of possession but down 2 scores on the scoreboard.

Atlanta is joke of a team that has 5 below average shooters in starting 5 ( even Trae is mid at best).
Celtics are elite team that never stops off ball action.

A shooting guard in a point guard's body. I don't think that's what they meant.

Suggs can barely dribble much less be a point guard
