For Boston to have any chance this season at bringing home Banner 18, they must become a more effective scoring team than the one last season which averaged 91.8 points which ranked No. 26 in the NBA.
Looking back at the last 10 NBA champions, they all achieved greatness differently.
But the one thing they all had in common was that they were a better scoring team than the C’s squad we saw last year that advanced to the Eastern Conference finals before being eliminated in seven games by Miami.
Boston’s scoring woes were a major factor in their Game 7 loss to the Heat, a game in which the Celtics’ second unit scored a total of just two points.
“That’s unacceptable,” said Celtic guard Jason Terry, one of the league’s top sixth men. “And it won’t happen while I’m a Celtic.”
