The Pistons comp makes little sense. Tatum was EC Player of the Month for November, he has had a rough December (maybe SOS has an effect here?) BUT Tatum will be a TOP5 NBA player by the playoffs which will suffice for the NBA talking heads
My favorite Celtic stat so far this season: 20-0 when shooting better than 32% from 3.
SSS aside but they shoot more 3s than any other NBA team and while that makes some queasy it's the direction the Celtics are headed (so we should all
learn to stop worrying & love the bomb).
My recent nitpicks have centered on Pull-Up 3s vs Catch & Shoot 3s process, with Tatum being the biggest culprit of low% 3pt attempts. Joe has this team taking Pull-Up 3s 34% of the time vs. 27% last season. Maybe they start reversing that approach, since shooting 3s well means 82-0!
They should also be working for more Corner3s.
Holiday (68.2%), Hauser (52.4%), White (57.6%), PP (44.4%), Tatum (50%) are hitting them at a high rate.
Also kind of glad Grant Williams (36.1%) has vacated Boston's Corner Office.
