State of the East: Boston Celtics
30+ games into the season and the Cavs are looking good, how does their competition in the East look? Boston Celtics: Verdict- Overrated. Done. Sorry, default mode for Boston though its true so far this season. They went on a tear in November going 14-2 and outscoring their opposition by 11 points a game and the nut slobbing commenced. So far in December they are 4-6 and post game pressers are talking about 'putting in more effort' and 'coming together as a team' and all that nonsense. The major difference is that they were burning the nets up from 3 in November and have gone cold in December. Per game averages November: 17.3/42 = 41.2% December: 13.5/42.5 = 31.7% Difference = 3.8 3s per game, 14.44 ppg Points per game November: 123.8 December: 109.5 Difference 14.3 ppg Is this literally the only thing going on? No, but its the dominant difference between them crushing opponents and looking like a sub 0....
