Celtics Need High-Octane Offensive Effort in Worst Way With Season Suddenly on the Line


It's pretty simple for the Celtics entering Game 7 on Saturday night. They need to put the ball in the basket.

That's simplifying things a ton, of course, but if you watched even a minute of Game 6, you saw an awful offensive showing from the Celtics. One way or another, they need to fix that in Game 7, and if they get by the Sixers, they'll have to be even better against the Heat.

There are a couple of keys to turning up the offense moving forward. Rajon Rondo will need to be better, first and foremost, as the offense runs through him. An improved effort on the defensive end will make a difference, as well. If they're able to force turnovers, crash the boards and in turn, get out and run, the offense will come.
