We examine advanced shot quality metrics showing Boston’s worst shooting performance since late 2022 alongside insights from coaches Josh Hart and Joe Mazzulla about process versus results.The episode explores key tactical shifts impacting shot selection balance between catch-and-shoot versus pull-up triples plus implications for upcoming games based solely on presented facts.
