So what do they need to do between now and the playoffs? I asked the staff to take a look at individual players and offer suggestions on tweaks that they could make to their games.<\/p>\n<p id=\"MbCQrQ\"><strong>Ben Dupont<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"PEOOgq\">I know it\u2019s all anyone talks about, but Tatum driving to the basket is the dead horse that needs beating. He just doesn\u2019t do it enough, and settling for bad pull-up threes isn\u2019t going to work every time. It\u2019s one of those things that you know is going to get better in the playoffs, but it\u2019s frustrating that we haven\u2019t seen it more in the regular season. Tatum is so dangerous when he\u2019s getting downhill, and teams can pretty much be certain they\u2019re safe from harm for three quarters of the game.<\/p>\n<p id=\"e8Y5im\"><strong>Mark Aboyoun<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"0kkhQr\">He may not get a lot of minutes once the playoffs come, but Queta not biting on every shot fake. For young centers (we witnessed it with Rob Williams his first two years) they try and block everything. Sometimes just staying still with your hands up can alter a shot just as much as getting a block. If we need Queta in the playoffs, it probably means someone is hurt which isn\u2019t ideal either.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"e-image\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Boston Celtics v Houston Rockets\" data-mask-text=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/thumbor\/dXXYwtEV8_Y_OHanN9kU3RVOWYc=\/400x0\/filters:no_upscale()\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/uploads\/chorus_asset\/file\/25293699\/1952878554.jpg\"><br \/>\n      <cite>Photo by Alex Bierens de Haan\/Getty Images<\/cite><br \/>\n  <\/figure>\n<p id=\"jKyLva\"><strong>Trevor Hass<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"1XUTOV\">Jaylen Brown\u2019s 3-point percentage is hovering around 34 percent. It\u2019s a small difference, but getting it up to around 37 or 38 would pay dividends. Kristaps Porzingis is averaging around 13 shots per game. It\u2019s more on the Celtics than it is on him, but that number should be around 15 or 16, even if Tatum and Brown take one or two fewer. If Oshae Brissett wants to log playoff minutes, he has to work on his shot and become a more consistent option offensively.<\/p>\n<p id=\"Arm2yi\"><strong>Tim Sheils<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"PCu8j0\">Oshae Brissett needs to hit his open shots, or more importantly, his three point shots. Right now, he\u2019s a sub 30% shooter from deep, and one of the biggest needs at the deadline was to add another strong wing to the rotation. After adding Jaden Springer and Xavier Tillman, there\u2019s still very much a need at the wing, but that gets mitigated if somebody in-house steps up. Enter Oshae, a guy capable of adding energy, defense and athleticism. The biggest problem is his three ball, but if he can get that up a bit, it\u2019ll alleviate some of the Celtics rotational concerns. With other studs on the lineup beside him like Brown and Tatum, Oshae will get a lot of open looks, and that can be one of the ways Boston can punish double teams. I\u2019m really rooting for Brissett to figure out his three ball before the playoffs, because I think his energy and defense could come up big somewhere down the line.<\/p>\n<p id=\"j8ieJV\"><strong>Sam LaFrance<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"3cmNb9\">My kneejerk reaction here is to complain about Jayson Tatum shooting too many threes. He averages 8.5 attempts per game, which is definitely lower than I thought. In fact, that\u2019s a fine number. However, I\u2019d still like to see SOME change here.<\/p>\n<p id=\"53GAre\">Don\u2019t stop shooting them, even the tough ones that I despise.<\/p>\n<p id=\"XZqg0V\">What I would like to see is a better ability to read the room on these shots. Tatum is a fantastic player, probably the best Celtic since Larry Bird. But, there are times during games when he takes these shots, early in the clock, and when the Cs are on the wrong side of the momentum. Sure, it\u2019s a gamble, and if it finds the bottom of the net then the day is saved. When it doesn\u2019t it\u2019s an easy defensive stop for the opposing team and that stop came a time where Boston was dying for a bucket.<\/p>\n<p id=\"P5e0wj\">To Tatum\u2019s credit, there have been times throughout the season, when the Cs needed a spark and he brought them back from the dead by getting downhill and going to the rim.<\/p>\n<p id=\"FKEZ9W\">TLDR: I don\u2019t want quick Jayson Tatum threes to be Boston\u2019s answer for opposing runs.<\/p>\n<p id=\"HNI1wS\">Bonus: Kristaps Porzingis needs to get position closer to the basket. He\u2019s nails from \u2014 well, the nail \u2014 but I don\u2019t need him posting up above the half circle.

His shots are down slightly from last year so his scoring is too, but he still leads the team in points and rebounds per game and is virtually tied for team lead in assists per game. When he attacks the rim and forces the defense to rotate or switch, he willingly moves the ball and the half-court offense hums. However, he still tends to slow down the pace toward the end of each game, isolating and dribbling in place behind the arc. The ball stops moving and, to my eyes, the offense becomes stagnant. I\u2019d like to see him keep the pace going for all 48 minutes, then let\u2019s see how much that helps avoid letting leads slip away.<\/p>\n<p id=\"aJO3i9\"><strong>Adam Taylor<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"TWYwv4\">This isn\u2019t for a specific player \u2014 sorry, I know i\u2019m kind of cheating here. But, I want to see more off-ball movement from everyone on the roster. As others have said here, Jayson Tatum needs to attack the basket more. Honestly, I think the amount of interior scoring talent on this roster isn\u2019t being utilized to it\u2019s full potential.<\/p>\n<p id=\"vLYwMb\">Off-ball cutting opens up scoring across all three levels. Mixing in more player movement, especially in half-court sets, that doesn\u2019t involve just relocating, could take this offense to the moon. So, everybody needs to improve that area of their game. For me, it\u2019s an important aspect \u2014 especially in terms of defensive manipulation.<\/p>\n<p id=\"mcadCC\"><strong>Jack Simone<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"i2jHrv\">More Derrick White ball-handling. Maybe this is less of a tweak to his game and more of an adjustment to Boston\u2019s gameplan, but when White has the ball in his hands, good things happen. He\u2019s gone from an elite 3-and-D player to a well-rounded point guard on one of the best teams in the league. His floater is smooth, he can draw contact at the rim with the best of them, and his passing abilities are arguably the best on the team. Obviously, Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown are going to have the ball a lot, but White should be handling most of the point guard duties.<\/p>\n\n<h2><b>Commercials Cooperation Advertisements:<\/b><\/h2>\r\n<p><br>(1) IT Teacher IT Freelance<br> <\/p>\r\n<a href=https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress><img src=http:\/\/gamefootballmobileanimeiphone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/ITTeacherITFreelance-Website.png alt=IT\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2 java\u88dc\u7fd2 \u70ba\u5927\u5bb6\u914d\u5c0d\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2,IT freelance, \u79c1\u4eba\u8001\u5e2b, PHP\u88dc\u7fd2,CSS\u88dc\u7fd2,XML,Java\u88dc\u7fd2,MySQL\u88dc\u7fd2,graphic design\u88dc\u7fd2,\u4e2d\u5c0f\u5b78ICT\u88dc\u7fd2,\u4e00\u5c0d\u4e00\u79c1\u4eba\u88dc\u7fd2\u548cFreelance\u81ea\u7531\u5de5\u4f5c\u914d\u5c0d\u3002\/><\/a><p><a href=https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/findteacher>\u7acb\u523b\u8a3b\u518a\u53ca\u5831\u540d\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2\u8ab2\u7a0b\u5427! <\/a><br>\r\n\r\n\u7535\u5b50\u8ba1\u7b97\u673a -\u6559\u80b2 -IT \u96fb\u8166\u73ed\u201d ( IT\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2 ) \u63d0\u4f9b\u4e00\u500b\u65b9\u4fbf\u7684\u7535\u5b50\u8ba1\u7b97\u673a \u6559\u80b2\u5e73\u53f0, \u70ba\u5927\u5bb6\u914d\u5c0d\u4fe1\u606f\u6280\u672f, \u96fb\u8166 \u8001\u5e2b, IT freelance \u548c programming expert. \u8b93\u5927\u5bb6\u65b9\u4fbf\u5730\u5c31\u80fd\u627e\u5230\u5408\u9069\u7684\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2, \u96fb\u8166\u73ed, \u5bb6\u6559, \u79c1\u4eba\u8001\u5e2b.  <br>\r\n\r\nWe are a education and information platform which you can find a IT private tutorial teacher or freelance. <br>\r\n\r\nAlso we provide different information about information technology, Computer, programming, mobile, Android, apple, game, movie, anime, animation\u2026 \r\n<\/p>\n<p><br>(2) ITSec<br> <\/p><a href=https:\/\/itsec.vip><img src=http:\/\/gamefootballmobileanimeiphone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/ITSec-Main-Promotion-Image.png alt= https:\/\/itsec.vip\/\r\nSecure Your Computers from Cyber Threats and mitigate risks with professional services to defend Hackers.  \r\nITSec provide IT Security and Compliance Services, including IT Compliance Services, Risk Assessment, IT Audit, Security Assessment and Audit, ISO 27001 Consulting and Certification, GDPR Compliance Services, Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA), Penetration test, Ethical Hacking, Vulnerabilities scan, IT Consulting, Data Privacy Consulting, Data Protection Services, Information Security Consulting, Cyber Security Consulting, Network Security Audit, Security Awareness Training.\/><\/a> \r\n<br><br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/itsec.vip>www.ITSec.vip<\/a> <br> <br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/sraa.com.hk>www.Sraa.com.hk<\/a> <br> <br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/itsec.hk>www.ITSec.hk<\/a> <br> <br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/penetrationtest.hk>www.Penetrationtest.hk<\/a> <br> <br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/itseceu.uk>www.ITSeceu.uk<\/a> <br> <br> \r\nSecure Your Computers from Cyber Threats and mitigate risks with professional services to defend Hackers. <br><br>\r\nITSec provide IT Security and Compliance Services, including IT Compliance Services, Risk Assessment, IT Audit, Security Assessment and Audit, ISO 27001 Consulting and Certification, GDPR Compliance Services, Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA), Penetration test, Ethical Hacking, Vulnerabilities scan, IT Consulting, Data Privacy Consulting, Data Protection Services, Information Security Consulting, Cyber Security Consulting, Network Security Audit, Security Awareness Training. \r\n<br><br>Contact us right away. <br><br>Email (Prefer using email to contact us): <br>SalesExecutive@ITSec.vip<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n<p>        Photo by Danielle Parhizkaran\/The Boston Globe via Getty Images<\/p>\n<p>  What should the Celtics players work on for the rest of the season?
