The Celtics Have A HUGE Problem...

The Boston Celtics CRUMBLED in Game 5 against the Philadelphia 76ers, after allowing them to hang around and eventually lose handily in the 4th quarter. With Game 6's stage set in Philadelphia, one huge problem clearly looms over the Celtics and that is their 3pt shooting variance. In games the win in the playoffs, typically Boston shoots around 40% or better from three, while in the losses they typically shoot around 30% or worse from three. Joe Mazzulla's offense is designed to live or die by the three and Nick Nurse responded with his best punch by taking those attempts away from the Celtics.
Can the Celtics change their tune? Or will their postseason success continue to rest on the laurels of their three point prowess?
