Not a whole lot of defense getting played right now, but at least BOS is making 3s and giving up 2s

Celtics just picking a guy and hunting. Herro gets it every second he's on the floor, he sits and they went right after Highsmith.
Can’t argue with the results. Interesting to contrast with the well reasoned argument that hunting took the Celtics out of their offense earlier in the series.

I hate this new trend of saying “made threes”. If you tell me the Celtics have eight threes, I’m going to assume the “made” part.

41 points ties for the most in Celtics playoff history in a single quarter since at least 2015, with April 19, 2019 against the Pacers. Also a first Q.

Making a three on the first part of a 2 for 1 is really the best. It's like money in the bank.

All they want is Herro in a mismatch, over and over.

It's nice to see the Celtics exploit like this. It's a very clear gameplan. It always felt like it happened the other way in years past.

Game 2 of the 2017 ECF was the most dispiriting game of basketball I’ve ever endured. This might be approaching what it was like on the other side. And Kevin Love is here to enjoy it.
