What is the difference between the good and bad versions of the Boston Celtics this season?
The Boston Celtics have been the NBA version of Jekyll and Hyde this season. The team has alternated between playing like the best team in the league and playing like a .500 team stuck on the proverbial treadmill of mediocrity.
What could be behind it exactly?
If you had a simple answer, you’d probably be on the Celtics’ short list for new assistant coaching hires. But the short version is that it involves using all of the players on the court vs. devolving into an isolation-heavy, my-turn, your-turn offense-focused just on star forwards Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum.
The folks over at the “Hoops Digest” podcast recently tried their hands at elucidating what the difference is between bad Boston and good Celtics in the clip we have embedded below.
Check it out for yourself to see if they have their finger on the pulse of what makes Boston look like world-beaters (or beaten) on the court.
