Brad Stevens took two big swings over the summer, adding Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis to the Boston Celtics roster. As such, Joe Mazzulla‘s team now has what is arguably the most talented top-six rotation in the entire NBA. Boston boasts multiple three-level scorers, on-ball creators, and high-level defenders.
As such, the Celtics are widely expected to contend for a championship later this season. A recent video by the YouTube channel “NBA Swish” looked at the different layers to Boston’s current rotation and why they could “steal” a banner if they make it to the NBA Finals.
As discussed in the video, Boston’s plethora of offensive talent is forcing defenses to make tough choices. You can either defend the rim or close out to shooters, at which point, the Celtics can counter that coverage to generate easy points. It’s a blueprint that’s expected to dominate in the coming months and years.
