NBA legend Charles Barkley believes that Boston is heading in the wrong direction. "They don't make any adjustments. They just are going to come out and jack up 3s," Barkley told 97.
5 The Fanatic on Friday. The Celtics were once ahead three games to one in the series, but they struggled in Game 5, shooting just 11 for 39 from beyond the arc. This trend continued in Game 6, where they managed only 12 out of 41 from 3-point range.
