Shouldn't be a surprise to anyone who has watched the 4-3 Celtics through the beginning of this season, but in Kirk Goldsberry's latest Efficiency Landscape the Celtics are a mixed bag. Boston own's the league's 8th most efficient offense, but their defense is in the bottom half at 18th.
As the ESPN analyst warns, of course this is a small sample size of only two weeks, but the Celtics league leading defense of last season has not made an appearance this year yet. Yes Robert Williams will help, but he also missed and was limited in a fair amount of games last season and postseason and the Celtics defense was still solid.
