Celtics predictions: It’s Banner 19 or bust this season in Boston
One underrated subplot of the Celtics’ championship season: Their ridiculous rim protection. Point guard Derrick White ranked 16th in blocks per game. Porziņģis, who finished 10th in blocks, led five Celtics in the top-56 of that category. As a team, Boston tied the Oklahoma City Thunder for the league lead at 6.6 blocks per game.
