Celtics' 3-Point Obsession Costs Them Playoff Series

About this episode

The Boston Celtics lost a playoff series to the Philadelphia Sixers due to poor three-point shooting, highlighting issues with their offensive strategy under coach Joe Mazzulla.

The Boston Celtics, despite dominating the Philadelphia Sixers in their seven-game series, lost due to a significant drop in offensive efficiency, particularly in three-point shooting. In the final three games, they missed a staggering number of threes, including a dismal performance in Game Seven that cost them the series. This shooting struggle is not new under coach Joe Mazzulla, who has relied heavily on three-point shots, leading to both championship wins and early playoff exits. The Celtics must reconsider their high-volume three strategy to avoid similar heartbreaks in the future. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
