The fine line between a good and bad possession

There’s been a ton of discussion surrounding the Celtics' lack of ball movement, and isolation tendencies this season. For the most part, the points made have been valid. However, we can give some leeway to Boston’s roster, as they have been adjusting to a new coaching regime along with new offensive and defensive systems.

Still, we’ve seen enough of Ime Udoka’s system to begin dissecting the differences between a good and bad possession, however minimal they may be. First of all, we need to acknowledge that Udoka wants the ball moving side-to-side, and hitting the paint as often as possible.
