Agreed that the defensive rebounding, over 80%, and limiting second chance points, less than 10 second chance ppg, has played a big part in their success. If you make them take tough shots, and limit their chances to score, well everything starts working very well!
Guys, do you see Brad doing anything different defensively this year with his schemes or what do you think makes the difference when we compare the 2017 Celtics to the 2016 Celtics? Yes I appreciate that IT was only 5'9. But did it make that big of a difference or are other factors at work here? Is our scheme better or is it our talent?
