With a bevy of switchable players, the Boston Celtics’ current crop of personnel are well equipped to partake in their own form of small-ball.

Quickly backing up from the Boston Celtics, the Dallas Mavericks are widely known as having one of the NBA’s best offenses, leading the league in points per 100 possessions, according to Cleaningtheglass.com.

In response to a question regarding Kristaps Porziu0146u0123is and his lack of post-up opportunities, coach Rick Carlisle candidly delegitimized the importance of post-ups.

It must be said, he’s right; the league is moving away from post-ups to more small-ball styled lineups.
