The Boston Celtics can't pass or rebound. Unfortunately, those are two important skills in the game of basketball, and this team's inability to do either (No. 30 in assist rate, No. 25 in rebound percentage) will frustrate fans throughout the season. Or make them really happy, I suppose, if they're cheering for a tank.
Fans knew that 2025-26 was always going to be a reset year for the team with Jayson Tatum out, but with so many new pieces, no one really knew what this team would look like, or what its strengths would be. Well, maybe we still don't know what the strengths are, but the weaknesses are becoming more obvious by the day — and ball movement might be chief among them.
