The Boston Celtics have made a name for themselves as a team that is pushing the 3-point shot to ever greater heights under head coach Joe Mazzulla, and having done so helped win them a title in 2024. But now there is hand-wringing over the shot by analysts and fans of the team alike as Boston is currently in a bit of a funk from beyond the arc in recent weeks.
Is the team shooting too many treys? Is such a thing even possible? Could it be that the wrong players are taking the shots? To get an answer to all of the above and some historical context with the team and the long-distance shot, the hosts of the CLNS Media "Celtics Lab" podcast joined forces with WEEI's Justin Turpin and SB Nation's Noa Dalzell to talk to former Celtics assistant coach and player Dana Barros for this week's pod.
A pioneer of the shot among Boston's past players, Barros has some interesting opinions on Boston's current slump from deep and plenty of tales to share as well, so this is an episode you do not want to miss.
