Is this historic C's offense sustainable? Eddie House weighs in

Share

The Boston Celtics' offense has fired on all cylinders through the first 15 games of the 2022-23 NBA season. It reached another level in Wednesday's 126-101 win over the Atlanta Hawks.

Seven C's players scored in double figures including three bench players. Boston shot 21-for-46 (45.7 percent) as a team from 3-point range despite off shooting nights from stars Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown.

Forsberg: Celtics didn't wait to fix what ailed them

Entering Thursday night, the Celtics lead the NBA with a whopping 120.4 points per game. They rank third in field goal percentage (48.8), fourth in 3-point percentage (38.7), and have the third-fewest turnovers per game (12.5).

Is this historic offense sustainable going forward? Former C's guard Eddie House joined Chris Forsberg on a new episode of the Celtics Talk Podcast to share his take.

"It is sustainable. Because they're moving the ball," House said. "It's not like the ball's sticking. They're not reliant on one guy or two guys to do it. It's a long list of guys that step up and can make things happen.

"So if they continue just to share the ball -- and Sam Hauser said it in his press conference, he said 'we play for each other.' And if they continue to do that, you're not only going to see them sustain this offense, but their defense as a whole is going to get better too."

The Celtics will look to earn their ninth consecutive victory when they visit the New Orleans Pelicans on Friday night.

Also discussed in the episode: What's the biggest reason for this 12-3 start? Which Celtic, besides Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, has been the most impressive? And what does Tatum have to do to become MVP?
