The Boston Celtics are currently favored to win the NBA championship at +200, but their position is being questioned. Despite a solid overall record of 28-12, the Celtics share the same number of losses as the Oklahoma City Thunder (34-6) and the Cleveland Cavaliers (34-6), both of whom are performing impressively this season. Recently, the Celtics have struggled, losing three of their last five games, including a significant defeat against the lowly Toronto Raptors.

Concerns about the Celtics' reliance on three-point shooting are growing. They lead the league in 3-point attempts but rank only 15th in shooting percentage from beyond the arc. Although their offensive rating remains high, a lack of balance in their scoring approach may hinder their playoff success. Comparatively, the Cavaliers boast a more versatile offense with standout players and better shooting percentages.
