The Boston Celtics have struggled a bit as of late, and it has been difficult for everyone on the roster to mesh. They have the blessing and the curse of having so much depth that sometimes its hard for head coach Brad Stevens to keep consistent rotations.

Even though they have strength in numbers, Stevens told Chris Forsberg of NBC Sports Boston that their ability to move on is even stronger:

“I thought one of our great strengths in the last few years was our ability to move on. I’m not sure that we were as good at that early in the season as we needed to be. This season is long, it’s hard, there’s a lot of ups and downs. You gotta be able to move on from both.”

Kyrie Irving and Jayson Tatum have been able to lead the team offensively over the first part of the season. Irving on the season has averaged 23.1 points, 4.9 rebounds and 6.6 assists per game while shooting 48.8 percent from the field and 40.8 percent from beyond the arc.

Tatum, on the other hand, has averaged 16.1 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 1.8 assists while shooting 44.5 percent from the field and 36.7 percent from three. For the team to continue to mesh, they need to learn how to play collectively. Often times Jaylen Brown and Terry Rozier will force shots that aren't there. That needs to change for the Celtics to gain traction in the East.

The Celtics are currently 24-15 and sitting in 5th place in the Eastern Conference. They will face off next against the Indiana Pacers at home.
