The Boston Celtics have been the NBA version of Jekyll and Hyde this season. The team has alternated between playing like the best team in the league and playing like a .500 team stuck on the proverbial treadmill of mediocrity.
What could be behind it exactly?
If you had a simple answer, you’d probably be on the Celtics’ short list for new assistant coaching hires. But the short version is that it involves using all of the players on the court vs. devolving into an isolation-heavy, my-turn, your-turn offense-focused just on star forwards Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum.

Check it out for yourself to see if they have their finger on the pulse of what makes Boston look like world-beaters (or beaten) on the court.
