What's wrong with Celtics offense - numbers tell the story
How can such a talented team be so effective on defense (first in Defensive Rating) and so horrible on offense (27th in Offensive Rating)? The Celtics are in 5th place in the East, and more was expected of them. Few fans expected Boston to trail both Indiana (3rd) and Philadelphia (4th).
Would Boston being ranked 24th (105.4) in points/game, 29th (43.2%) in field goal percentage and 19th (34.9%) in 3-point percentage give you a hint? There's more! The Celtics are ranked 3rd in the League in percentage of points from beyond the arc (40.8%) and 29th in percentage of points in the paint (34.9%).
Uncontested field goals made against Jazz:
Kyrie: 5 for 6
rest of team: 8 for 37
