Since starting the season 2-5, the Boston Celtics have picked up the pace. Despite a two-week injury to Jaylen Brown, they let their amazing defense lead the way. In the month of November (where the Celtics are 7-4), their defense ranks fourth in the NBA (102.4 DRTG) and their offense ranks 18th (108.2 ORTG). Boston’s offense looked rough at the start of the season, as they were relying on a lot of isolation, and their ball movement was lackluster. However, the C’s are slowly starting to turn things around on that front.
You can make the math as complicated as you want in today's NBA.
