Skip Bayless Perfectly Sums Up Why Celtics Keep Collapsing In Postseason

According to Skip Bayless, they are a victim of their own stubbornness and one-dimensional offense. There never seems to be a backup plan when the threes aren't falling.

"This live and die by the three... Doesn't it keep boiling down to that?" Bayless said on Monday's episode of "Gil's Arena." "There's never a plan B for this group... They just jack up threes. You have to have an alternative game plan, and they don't. They just say, 'Well, we'll get hot in the fourth quarter.'"

Bayless is right. The Celtics are at the mercy of their own threes and play the victim when they don't go in. When they lose, they say they took good shots rather than taking accountability for not changing their strategy.

Other teams adjust to Boston over the course of a series, but the Celtics don't make their own necessary adjustments. They just keep using the same strategy and hope for different results.

Bayless blamed Boston for not attacking the basket more with Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum, two of the best drivers in the NBA. He also called out Derrick White's "deadly cold" shooting slump, which contributed to the Celtics' collapse against the Sixers.

Unfortunately, Boston didn't learn its lesson against the Knicks last year, perhaps believing it was a fluke. Hopefully this time around, the Celtics realize that it wasn't and start diversifying their offense.
