Sometimes a team can start off a game hot and make its first few shots to pull off a big lead early. But the Celtics took that to another level on Monday night against the Pacers.
The Celtics literally could not miss to start the game against the Pacers
Seriously. Check that ball for a magnet or something.
They made their first 10 (!) shots of the game against Indiana. Some of them were easy, but some of them were this.
Plus the foul. SMH.
Only two of their first 10 shots came in the paint and not a single one was in the restricted area of the floor.
How good is that? Crazy good. In fact, so good, that their true shooting percentage probably broke a bunch of rules.
That’s just unfair.
The Celtics eventually missed. Jaylen Brown bricked two 3-point attempts in a row and got blocked at the rim on an offensive rebound. But no matter — the damage was done. They shot 72 percent to finish out the quarter.
This team is already great defensively — they lead the league with a 100.7 defensive rating. If they’re going to make shots like this, though? Just go home. There’s no point in playing.
Let’s just get somebody to check that rim size in Indiana real quick, though.
