Why the Celtics’ tough stretch might just be part of the championship process.

The Celtics haven’t looked all that good at times this season, but what if that’s all part of the championship process? My newest for @celticsblog.bsky.social

This is a sweet set. Operating out of horns, PP ghosts an on-ball screen for White, then gets a Kornet flare screen. Pass to Kornet, then White comes off a Jrue Holiday flare screen. Wide open 3.

Tatum and the bench are still killing teams.

Pritchard pushes off the rebound to force cross-matches. That means Sharpe is on Tatum so the Nets hard double 30 feet from the hoop. The rest is Celtics basketball.

JT monster block on Luka.

Celtics have been really deliberate attacking Reaves and Luka.
On ball screen gets Al on Reaves, quick swing, awesome pass, 2 points.

Cool chess match possession here. Jrue pre-switches to keep Luke out of the high screen and roll with Lebron, so Lebron swings it to Reaves so he can get Luke in the action instead. Kornet does well and he and JB force the miss.

Luka appears to be ok so I don't feel bad making this.

JB does such a good job against Luka 1 on 1. Maybe the best in the league against him. Leads to the Al dunk/ninja kick.

Love JB attacking Luka's help defense with the drive and kick.

The Tatum and Luke mind meld on full display. Kornet/Queta is a weird fit offensively (understatement), so Luke has to find ways to make himself useful when he's being ignored. Handoffs and screens is one way to do it, very Curry/Draymond-esque here.

Derrick White is at almost 70% TS% in his last 15 games. Pretty good.

Man Denver really doesn’t have anyone to match up with Jaylen. He’s bullying Murray and blowing by everyone else

This is one of the worst reffed games I've seen this year. Pritchard gets smashed in the face right in front of the ref, no call.

Watching on delay, so only mid way through the 2nd quarter, but do the refs keep letting the Pistons manhandle us every possession?
