Last season, the Celtics did a better job than any other offense of pulling rim protectors away from the basket.

   Can’t protect the rim when you need to guard Al or KP shooting 40% + from the perimeter.

   The difference of having 2 centers that command shooting gravity vs just having 1 center who can command gravity

   Yeah no shit 😂

   That’s what happens when you have Al Horford and Kristaps Porzingis, it’s a fucking cheat code

   There’s a good argument that the 2023-2024 Celtics have the best spacing of any team in the history of basketball

   You know who’d be an amazing bench player and future Al Horford replacement? Ben Simmons. I wish he was still alive.

   I’ve heard podcasts mention that the Celtics are the blueprint for team building going forward but I think people underestimate how rare elite two-way wings and two-way three point shooting bigs are. Like there’s not a whole lot in the league and Celtics happen to have two of each.

   When you have 5 guys who can all shoot 3’s it’s pretty easy

   It’s almost like we had a guy shooting something crazy like 60% from the corner
