This Celtics Lineup is Destroying NBA Defenses
Vložit
- čas přidán 27. 11. 2023
- The Boston Celtics currently have one of the best halfcourt offenses in NBA history, due in large part to the Kristaps Porzingis trade and the Jrue Holiday trade. Jayson Tatum continues to play at an MVP level with Jaylen Brown alongside him, but now they're a more well-rounded team than ever.
The Boston Celtics offense is operating under a unique system crafted by Joe Mazzulla, a system heavily derivative of the San Antonio Spurs dynasty that made heavy use of a play called "Motion Strong".
With the Celtics getting the best versions of Derrick White and Jrue Holiday, they're beginning to look borderline unstoppable, and in this Boston Celtics breakdown, I explain why.

I love how their bench has been playing in spite of them being downplayed all off-season. Reminds me of 08s bench, and Hauser has been going crazy. He's like a young Korver
Kornet becoming a real rotation big is huge too
Hauser is a better all around ball player than Korver was. Defending, rebounding, all that type of stuff. Korver was more of a Duncan Robinson.
@@tmclaug90 Don't desrespect Korver cmon. Hauser is doing well but Korver has done a lot of good things beside shooting for quite a long time.
But Sam is also a very , very UNDERRATED defender. Last season , he had the best defensive rating on the team. Which totally blew my mind.
@@tmclaug90listen I love hauser more than most but korver was an all star man
basically, marcus smart, robert williams and malcom brogdon for jrue and porz. insane value
Facts we upgraded
Such a steal. Also look at where they are now lol.
The only way in which we downgraded is losing one competent role player out of our rotation, but at least its a chance for bench players to step up and develop more. Already seeing that pay dividends in Hauser
@@YouCanCallMeReTroyup and we had a rotation guy in Pritchard last season who basically got shut out cuz of Brogden
Forgetting about all the picks lol
When the Celtics were struggling in the past, the offense was one try for Tatum and one try for Brown. With such offense, they made it deep into the playoff many times so the sky is the limit for them today.
Dont forget marcus smart who trries to play hero too
From them playing my Sixers this year and last year, it's Derrick White man. All their shooters play up against us, but he feels like he's the best spot up shooter of all time
That man is the most consistent player on both ends for the team. And in he went to another team he easily the 3rd best player on a contender
Derrick white is so underrated. He wont be for long though
Yea idk what happened in the off season but he's a completely different animal this year
it's a big part of why they felt comfortable letting marcus go, white just does everything right. hes the ultimate roleplayer
Derrick White put up a virtuoso against Philly
I pray for health in the NBA this year. This team, and so many others, are amazing to watch!
excellent breakdown to educate people on actions being ran and grounding everything in advanced stats instead of the traditional ones casuals use. shoutout to indiana for improving their offense this year. would love for boston to go to these actions more when they're cold instead of settling for walk-up 3s or iso ball.
praying for no injuries 🤞
Kp staying healthy for the whole season will be key to the Cs getting the 1st seed in the east
Even without him horford and kornet are good enough to get by. Kp definitely is a key component, but I think he could survive without him
Finally some love Celtics love from Alex, it's about damn time ☘☘☘
It's such a joy to watch the starting lineup for the Celtics play with such intensity as they rack up the victories with an awesome display of synchronicity, and ferocity as they attack the rim. The defense is awesome too---the big man, Porzyngis guarding the paint on defense is almost Bill Russell-like; and he has Robert Parrish's offensive capability not only around the basket but adds 3-point abilities as well.
Just saw how ESPN had posted you on twitter bro love seeing you get the recognition you’ve deserved for a long time
Awesome stats and graphics in this video. Great video!
"They have the personnel to get as weird as they want" that's why as a Celtics fan, its been so fun to watch them this season. The variety of play and ability to do almost anything on the court with that starting 5 has me so excited
Great breakdown of this year’s Celtics man! Hope your channel continues to grow and thrive! We are an up and coming channel and we have just subscribed to you.
I have not been watching Celtics basketball and forgot derrick white cut off this hair…. I was not ready for that
Awesome analysis. Subscribed!
Celtics have a legit death lineup this year...
Nice breakdown, subscribed!
Great vid. I would love to know where you get your HD player footage and what kind of LUT or whatever you're using over them. They look even crisper than the Celtics HD postgame vids they do.
What a fantastic breakdown! Love the attention to details and freezes so we can see whats going on. The biggest enemy for Boston is the "dark side" of Tatum and brown when they hunt for isos (the Minnesota game was a great example where they kept attacking jaden mcdaniels at the end, thats on of the best iso Defenders there is, so dumb)
The thing that makes all this action work is that Jaylen is making better reads against defenses this year, particularly in actions involving KP as the primary outlet. The ball isn't sticking in his hands as much this year, even if he's not perfect and his turnovers are still higher than you'd like them to be. That's the key for this team as a whole too: don't give up on the process. If they play the game the way they should on a night to night basis, they can win it all.
Excellent analysis, thanks so much for making this
Love your content
Appreciate you!
you earned yourself a sub my guy
Exciting. Need better D thoug. Udoka effect @Houston amazing
Great breakdown
Props to Brad Steven's for making the moves and putting this team together...
Hot take sorry; They remind me of a revamped Celtic title run with KP being someone similar to KG and Holiday taking over the PG similar yet not exactly to Rondo in screens.
I'd say they're the favorites to win it all. I know Smart was the heart and soul of the team and I will always love him, but the trade was necessary. Jrue is solid on D and a better offensive player as well, and we needed a true big man and KP is just that. Good defender and can shoot the 3. Williams was really only known for his D and was way to injury prone. Already on IR in Portland
hope they dont do the same as last year, i love JB and Tatum but we need them to not lose momentum in the playoffs, consistency is key here
The main culprit is Jrue. They finally have a good floor general that fits they defensive mindset that can still score when needed to. That was the missing piece for them. Then they added a floor spacing big that can defend. All of a sudden those pieces they lost only became room for a bigger move. All while still keeping the core intact. Marcus smart was great but Jrue has always been a better version of him. We will see during the season but I think this is long term
I honestly feel like a lot of times jrue hurts them a lot as well. He's great but sometimes seems like he's doing to much
They added the big first.
KP is actually a really good passer.
Derrick white fantasy basketball legend
The team literally has no flaws. That starting line up can all shoot at an elite level, they can all play defence, majority of them can pass, they're all basically big guards, like what's their weakness?
One could argue inexperienced head coach and consistency, but really only injuries and themselves can stop this team.
maybe they dont have a true leader but i mean Tatum need to step up
@@khanhnguyenduc9973Jrue and Al are the leaders I'd say. And the biggest flaw is big depth I guess. We could use a good, stout, 4/5 type.
They do have a flaw and that’s showing up in the playoffs
@@tmclaug90 I mean TRUE leader like curry lebron jokic giannis
I wonder how things would have turned out if the Brodgon to Clippers trade went through. Would the Celtics still go after Jrue with Smart still on the team?
No1 will know lol will they lol
I think they definitely would have. I love Smarty, but Jrue is the better player on both sides of the ball and despite his large contract, the front office decided to go all in.
KP was the missing puzzle piece.
Celtics to the finals vs Denver. Where they loose to an unstoppable Jokic (if they are healthy). And I am a Celtics fan :)
Hoping for a legenday series though!
I love this squad lets also not forget about the great Al Scorford
Im about to make a new build on 2k24 and play with them now
Thanks
Give Jaylen Brown a HOF Handles for Days badge and I'd be less concerned with them sh*tting the bed in late game decision making in the post season
derrick white is easily my goat man. god bless him
Daaamn, it's like chess - a game of strategy
can u please make a video about why and how bad are the bulls
Cs must have aqual back up for KP ,if this problem solve the will get the ring
Boston vs Denver or Wolves in final.
Conf finals will be Boston vs Pacers or Magic.
5:46 wtf is Melton doing 😂😂
NBA champions
The team to beat this year is Boston🔥🔥🔥☘️☘️ GO CELTICS!!!!🔥🔥🔥😤😤😤☘️☘️
is it though? Just your regular Magic fan here...
What’s up?
Only reason I dislike this video, is because I'm a Celtics fan, and you pointing out our plays, but as a basketball fan I love the video, because I play with them on 2k of course because it's my team and because I know Celtics playbook my friends won't allow me to play with them when we play. 😂😂😂 they are better than me at the game but I know Celtics play book and the only reason why I win when I play with tbem
The Celtics line up was great when they made it to the title game and were defeated by the Golden State.
God Bless Off (Hair) White
Because it's all entertainment, the analysis and video breakdowns are really cool.
However, this is ALL IRRELEVANT regarding championship ball.
These teams that Boston is wiping out during the regular season ARE NOT the teams between the Celts and a championship.
Playoff/championship ball is a completely different sport than the regular season warm-up games.
Not the wolves tho put some respek on it
this is their best chance to win the chip. I like their chances.
I think the Bucks do bring the biggest threat to them. They nearly came back being down 19 in the 4th quarter and if not for a few missed layups, the Bucks couldve easily taken that game. The celtics also shot uncharacteristically hot from 3 that game. If taking the average numbers, this season series will most likely be a 2-2 match up. Those are the teams that are the favorites.
Still too many threes. It makes me insane.
They were destroyed by the Magic Defense thou! 😂
Straight up embarrassed em lol
?
@@AlexHoops touché
talk about the damn magics
Don’t you worry
Magic was their kryptonite
?
It's championship or bust for these guys anything less is a failure.. I'd like a pure scorer of the bench don't get me wrong I like PP and hauser but I want someone who's job is only to score like how brogadan was used for a consistent 15 points or josh Richardson. Hauser and PP can go cold from 3 and be null invoid
while the Bucks are struggling on defense
Banner 18
Didn’t magic blow them out
What about now?
This team vs the 17' Warriors,
If we're being honest, how uneven is that matchup,
Sure, Curry and KD are a lot better than Tatum and Brown, but Tatum and Brown are both way better at defense
Imagine Ray Allen on this Celtics team 🤯
Go celtics
last year XD
But nun of this mattered to the wolves 😂
Easy money for the bucks
70
Every year you do this and they keep getting beat
i mean its what we expected from a 3 allstar 1 borderline allstar team its just funny how the best payed player in basketball is only the third most important player in this team
PACERS>
Don't show this footage to other teams 😂
Wolves on top baby wooooooooooooo
to be or not to be
Didn't destroy that twolves defense lol
All of this to choke in the playoffs XD
Except for the Timberwolves. Celtics are bums.
😂😂
Ok, buddy. 😂 we will see..
@@Adi-bo5do after the season, fool.
SO IS THE MAGICS🪄🪄 🪄🪄
GO 🍊RLANDO!!
