The Celtics haven’t looked all that good at times this season, but what if that’s all part of the championship process? My newest for

This is a sweet set. Operating out of horns, PP ghosts an on-ball screen for White, then gets a Kornet flare screen. Pass to Kornet, then White comes off a Jrue Holiday flare screen. Wide open 3.

Pritchard pushes off the rebound to force cross-matches. That means Sharpe is on Tatum so the Nets hard double 30 feet from the hoop. The rest is Celtics basketball.

Cool chess match possession here. Jrue pre-switches to keep Luke out of the high screen and roll with Lebron, so Lebron swings it to Reaves so he can get Luke in the action instead. Kornet does well and he and JB force the miss.

JB does such a good job against Luka 1 on 1. Maybe the best in the league against him. Leads to the Al dunk/ninja kick.

The Tatum and Luke mind meld on full display. Kornet/Queta is a weird fit offensively (understatement), so Luke has to find ways to make himself useful when he's being ignored. Handoffs and screens is one way to do it, very Curry/Draymond-esque here.

Watching on delay, so only mid way through the 2nd quarter, but do the refs keep letting the Pistons manhandle us every possession?

Oh baby did this little play deserve a bucket. Double screen for Derrick. He comes off it, then Tatum gets a cross screen from Hauser that he curls to the rim. Ball finds Hauser as PP lifts from the corner wide open. Don't see the Cs run double screens like this. Usually it's double drag/77

Love this starting set. Cs set up in horns, JB sets the back screen for White's UCLA cut, and seals the guy he screens. Over the top pass from JT gets Jaylen the easy free throw line jumper.

Same play, this time KP goes to the front of the rim instead of towards the inbounder. Wide open oop. Horrible camera work from ESPN so I could only get the very end.

Here's the difference between Tatum and Brunson (among other things). New York actively avoids attacking Tatum defensively, and the Cs relentlessly go at Brunson (and KAT obviously).
