Scenes from the Cinco de Mayo Parade in Mexicantown, Detroit

It’s time for the Celtics to re-think their offensive structure. Teams of their caliber aren’t supposed to have a floor this low. They’re shooting 40-50 3s a game, oftentimes with zero penetration, and hoping that they get “lucky” with the timing of their hot shooting nights. 26.5% from 3 in Game 7, after shooting 29.3% in Game 6 and 28.2% in Game 5. Same exact thing happened in Games 1 & 2 against New York last year to go down 0-2, and in Games 1-3 against Miami in 2023 to go down 0-3. Contenders aren’t supposed to be reliant on whether or not one type of shot is falling.
