I think we should remember that this team won the championship 7 months ago

They proved that they can win it all if they do the right things, I cannot say something on behalf of this team but I can only speculate and analyze what is happening.

They have a 27-11 record so far, third in the whole league which is not bad at all but clearly, they were way better last season. They shoot a lot of threes but has a mediocre efficiency. But I think I found out the science behind this. Just my own opinion.

First, in today's NBA it is so hard to repeat, if you are the GM, you have to keep your team intact and Brad did that very well in the offseason. Secondly, they are just cruising through the season, role players having more opportunities like Pritchard, Kornet and Queta which are helping them to carry the load through the regular season, Joe also uses Jordan Walsh more. Lastly, they shoot a lot of threes to prevent themselves from getting fatigued in the long regular season, if they drive more, they get hacked, it is more physical, they can get hurt, more freethrows mean more fouls so the games extend for a longer period of time. I think, they just wanna fastforward this season to March or April to really get it going. This is my fair assessment to the Celtics woes since December, they are just going to be fine.

Enjoy the ride guys, some of you waited for a few years to see this team win a championship, and some of us waited for 16 years to see this again, I was on my late teens in 2008 when I saw them won the championship, I thought more than 1 championship were coming that time but I didn't know I have to wait till 2024 to see another one. So now, we just do not know when will be the next banner comes. We have to enjoy every moment of this team as the champs, save your worries.
