Celtics’ Playoff Fate Hangs by a Thread: Can They Escape a Shocking Collapse Against the Knicks?
And the team is actually taking fewer 3s this postseason than they did during last year’s title run. There wasn’t any complaining last year when Boston’s offense got them to a title. But now, the team is mired in a deep slump, so the complaints are there.
And yet, it does feel different this round. The Celtics are taking 50.0 3s and 45.5 2s. For a team in a jump-shooting slump, this seems to be too extreme.
The Knicks allowed the fifth-fewest 3-point attempts in the NBA in the regular season. But the Celtics are generating a ton of 3s against the Knicks defense. On the surface, this feels like a victory for the Celtics.
