I would be shocked If Tatum doesn't start out cooking. What I really want to see if Tatum and Brown make that extra pass, which they have so far, in the 4th quarter. Will they trust their teammates when it matters most??

Ball movement has been really good. Tatum and Nesmith need to see one 3 go in and look out.


I agree Tatum and Nesmith are due to pop a bunch.
In terms of Ime changing the starting lineup halfway through his first ever game as coach, I'mma bet that's a no. But let's see what develops for lineups/coverages as the 2nd half progresses?

Well Horford would have certainly helped with the Randle issue. But stars gonna star, and Randle was a deserved all-nba last year.

I liked the c's offense quite a bit, good passing.

I think that we're doing so-so.
We need to correct these mistakes.

Being down by Injuries is part of the game.

Celts miss Horford's defense on Randle in this game.

They shouldnt make the extra pass unless they are doubled. My problem is Tatum obviously got bigger but is playing the same soft finesse game.

It would be good to get Randle into some foul trouble.

Jaylen Brown is 11 pts away for setting record for Celtics for opening game of season. He is already in 3rd place with 33 last year.

Often lost in all the excitement of Jayson Tatum’s potential is what a remarkable player JB is. He just keeps getting better and looks pretty amazing tonight.

Might have best contract in NBA. Untradeable.
"I think the criticism's stupid," Stevens said. "So I don't care. I'm with Jaylen (Brown) on that. Those two had achieved more than most 25 and 26 year olds ever had. I'd rather be in the mix and have my guts ripped out than suck."
