For the 1986 season.Dash, if the mid-80s Celtics could have made more threes, then why wouldn't they have? What was stopping them? I mean it was common knowledge in 1986 that the number 3 was greater than the number 2, so why wouldn't they easily figure out that they had the capability to put more points on the board? That could have resulted in more titles.
McHale shot 57%
Parish shot 55%
Walton shot 56%
Bird shot 50%
Why attempt more 3's when you make over 50% from 2.
Bird shot 42% from 3 that year.
Ainge and Wedman could make 3's.
Those Celtics teams could have adjusted if they played in today's slash and drive and 3 point game.
