The defense is not the problem. As others have pointed out, the Celtics currently have the 2nd best DRtg in the league, per basketball-reference. The problem is their offense is dead last.

I don't think I've ever seen a professional team miss so many open shots.

When I suggested more three point shooting practice, I was mocked.

if this team is going to just be a jump shooting team we may as well trade tatum and brown for Reddick and Korver.

I dont expect team to start gelling until December or even  January. Coming back from injuries never easy as is blending with new lineups. I am so not worried.

Boston is currently #1 in team defense, with a gap to #2 of over a point and a half.

(League take notice: #2 is Denver, and it's not just statistical noise!)

'I was proud of Marcus Smart. He did a great job of keeping us together. He might not get credit for this game, but the pace that he played at, and his playcalling, some of the plays that he called were great. We obviously have to rely on him, so I’m definitely looking forward to Marcus leading this team in that role.' - Jaylen Brown, January 2021
