Few things I noticed about Celtics preseason stats

[incoherent]

We are 3rd in the east for 3pt%
We are 2nd in the east for steals per game
We are 6th in the east for assist per games
We lead the whole league in 3 pointers made

Our ppg is 98 and our opponent ppg is 92.

Sully stats:
5th in PPG vs all other centers, and 7th vs all other PFs
3rd in RPG vs all other centers, and 3rd vs all other PFs

Marcus Smart is tied for 2nd in the league for steals per game.

There's only 3 listed Centers as taking a 3pointer and making it.. Celtics have 2 of them, clearly not a strategy employed by other teams.

That's it for now.. cant wait for the regular season where it matters.

Statistically speaking the sample is not representative. But you are right to point out that Stevens has made a dogma out of almost everyone in the team taking 3's.

In other words, the Celtics are pretty much the only team who's trying to get by by masquerading undersized forwards as centers.
