The Boston Celtics' regular season hasn't quite begun as expected. The team is off to a 2-3 start and has some glaring issues to address.
Boston enters the season with a promising young core, some intriguing perimeter defense, mobility and a healthy dose of shooting.Unfortunately, things haven't quite clicked, especially on the offensive end.
The Celtics are currently putting up 98.3 points per 100 possessions, ranking 22nd in the league, per ESPN Hollinger stats. That mark would've ranked 27th last season. On the flip side, Boston statistically has the sixth-best defense through five games.
These figures need to be taken with a grain of salt due to the small sample size.
