The Boston Celtics have reached the 20-game mark of the NBA season, enough of a sample size to get an idea of who this team might be by the time the dust settles on the 2023-24 regular season. And to such an end, the hosts of the CLNS Media “First to the Floor” podcast had an extensive talk about what has exceeded, met, and fallen short of expectations for the team on a recent episode.
Areas where the Celtics have exceeded expectations include rebounding and defense, which ranks second in the league. ReserSam Hauser’s shooting has also impressed. On the other hand, Boston still struggles with turnovers, holding leads, and crunch time execution. Jayson Tatum has also fallen short of expectations, still showing some bad habits like too many pull-up 3s while playing at an unusually slow pace.
