In games Celtics shoot above 43.5%, they are 13-0. In games they shoot under that percentage, they are 0-4.
If the Celtics take on average 89 shots per game, that would equate to needing 39 shots made to pass this threshold.
If they take 43 3’s per game and make about 15 (34.8%)
Then as long as they shoot 24/46 (52.1%) from 2, that would get them to 39/89
This equates to 93 points, and if you add their average of 17 FTM per game, the Celtics should win the vast majority of their games when scoring 110+ points.
They have won all 9 games they have scored at least 110 points in regulation this season.
I mean this tells me they have to figure out ways to win on tough shooting nights. Which, isn’t telling me anything new because this has been a clear problem for the team since Ime days.
I think it tells me they have found ways to win when they shoot like a bottom 3rd team in the NBA and need to find ways to win when they shoot like they should be in the G-league
