The Boston Celtics have been dominating the start of the NBA’s 2023-24 season with their exceptional offensive and defensive performance. Their success on the offensive end can be attributed to their ability to get out in transition after stops and turnovers. The Celtics have also been efficient in scoring in isolation, post-ups, and pick-and-roll plays.
All-NBA forward Jayson Tatum has been a standout player for the Celtics so far and has improved in pull-up jump shots, finishing at the rim, and post play. Tatum’s efficiency is crucial as the Celtics have a talented supporting cast that also needs touches. Defensively, the Celtics excel in rebounding, paint defense, and limiting fast break points. However, they still need to improve their 3-point defense and bench consistency.
Overall, the Celtics have surpassed expectations and are poised to dominate the regular season.
