The Boston Celtics losing two games in a row feels abnormal. While the team faces many issues heading into the playoffs, a major problem is their lack of bench production. While the playoff rotation will most likely be reduced, the Celtics still need an offensive spark to help relieve the starters.
It’s important to note that the Celtics have a very capable bench. If Marcus Smart was a more efficient three point shooter, he might be a name mentioned for winning Sixth Man of the Year Award. Smart along with Terry Rozier might be considered one of the best defensive backcourts coming off the bench.
