The Boston Celtics have deployed some very unique defensive strategies so far this season, such as having Jrue Holiday guard Joel Embiid, a full court press and some very rare, but high effective Pick and Roll Defensive Strategies.

These unique strategies have helped them to high level wins over Eastern Conference rivals, The Philadelphia 76ers, and they are currently in the Semi Finals in the new NBA In Season Tournament.

Throughout this video, we explore how Boston uses analytics within their defensive schemes and how this has led to them holding the NBA's best Net Rating.

Boston has some elite defensive players, such as Jrue Holiday, Jaylen Brown, Payton Pritchard, Al Horford, Porzingis, Sam Hauser, Derrick White and Jordan Walsh. Notice how I left off Tatum, something I share why in this video.

Head Coach Joe Mazzula has got the Celtics playing the leagues best defence, combine this with a highly efficient offence filled with playoff veterans, and I think you have a championship favourite team right here.
