If you’ve been watching the Boston Celtics a lot this season – or reading CelticsBlog – you must have noticed that Joe Mazzulla and his coaching staff have increased their usage of the double big lineup concept. According to Cleaning The Glass, the Celtics have played 1,255 possessions with two big men on the floor and 2,622 with only one. Essentially, the Celtics spend about one-third of their time with two bigs.
When they play with one big, Al Horford has been the lone big man for 828 possessions, Luke Kornet for 680, Kristaps Porzingis for 588, and Neemias Queta for 526.
