Thanks Uncle Dennis
60 3PT attempts for Boston60 of 88 total FGA
Mazzulla is a fukking terrorist if Celtics repeat this 3PT spam won't end. Before we know it 50-60 3PA will be an average night for a NBA team
Spamming 3s, yuck
I forgot he wasn't even playing. Sheesh, this squad is deep. I wouldn't shorten the rotation for the playoffs either. I hate when coaches do that shít, then when their backs are against the wall, all of a sudden, they wanna go 10 deep instead of 8.
And this team is 100% coming out of the West.

Anyone other than Boston needs to win the title so hopefully this trend dies down
63 3ps compared to 37 for OKC and Boston fans will complain about the FT disparity
Great point by Mark Jones towards the end, this dismissive attitude about OKC's playoff chances been weird.
If they had lost this game, people would've used it as confirmation bias, even though they already beat Boston. Split the season series with Denver. Split the season series with CLE.
At the end of the day, you don't have to be a flawless team to win the championship and they have far less flaws than any other team out West.

Yup aaron wiggins,, isaiah joe, caruso, cason wallace all those guys could start on a bunch of teams. What's scary is what they have coming ahead in stocked draft classes

OKC is a factor. They get any shot they want on offense, and play hard nose defense. Today they played a zone and dared the C's to shoot 3's. Our guys settled way too much.
C's gotta learn how to stop these double digit runs by other teams. They keep spamming 3's when they should have a couple bread and butter plays to get an easy look. We also gotta stop with the damn whining to the refs. Box out, grab the ball with 2 hands, and hustle.

Yea, spamming those 3s has been their strength and weakness for a minute. As formidable as Pritchard and Hauser look when they're making the 3ball... when they're not or it's well defended, they're not much to worry about. Derrick White as well, tho he can do a bit more than the other two offensively. Horford and Jrue are bit too old to expect much more from outside of size mismatches.
So yea, in the absence of set plays and if they can't get stops to go on transition for easy scores, they're offense can look rough against a good defense. An over reliance on Tatum and Brown to iso.

@UpAndComing and @stepbackj34spud...yall boys around the same age as I am....you've seen a lot of quality C's basketball. I know you rep the C's regardless but ain't no way you can condone Joe's philosophy on offense.
There's zero off ball action, zero half court sets, zero creativity...

It's almost like Boston hoisted 60+ 3s instead of attacking the rim
