Steve Tchiengang is a big looking dude. Can he come in out of the 2nd row and play enforcer off the bench?

The media has been wrong at every turn on how much the Celtics ownership was willing to pay. The media just doesn't have a clue. The only ones that really know is the Celtics ownership.

and everyone said there was no such thing as a 5-6 year window. :lol:

That being said, a 6 year window can turn into a 1-2 year window real fast.

From quotes like these to the media day interviews & the Reddick interview, I’m kind of shocked at how impressed I’ve been of Joe.

I was definitely one of the guys that wanted him fired at the end of last season but his growth in the space of a couple of months has been awesome to watch.

Title window is mostly tied to Tatum, really. If he bolts then chances to contend plummet. This would be the 4th year for me that he's the undisputed alpha on the team. Started with the bubble playoffs.

Curious to see how much Walsh plays. Looking at our depth, the 4 is a bit of an issue still. If Walsh can step up he'd be a great defensive presence there. I'm honestly not sold on Oshe.

May the Swinging Spirit of Kelly O inspire the Celtics toward greatness this season...

https://www.bostonglobe.com/2023/10/05/sports/is-jrue-holiday-missing-piece-celtics-championship-paul-pierce-thinks-so/

Celtics legend Paul Pierce, who attended practice for the second day in a row on Thursday, said he feels that Holiday could be just what the Celtics need to reach that next level.

“I think Jrue is a natural leader, a natural glue guy,” Pierce said. “He’s a champion. He’s respected around the league. He’ll be respected here. It’s up to the guys around him to welcome him with open arms and make him feel comfortable not only as a player but his family. I always think that’s important with new guys to just establish that comfortability amongst his teammates.

Expectations are high for the Celtics, but it is still very early. This group’s journey is just beginning to unfold. But, it is clear that the desired destination is the NBA Finals.

“It’s been fun, it’s been intense, it’s been a joy to watch,” Pierce said of the new-look Celtics. “Seeing the guys together these first few days is bringing back a lot of memories about the first few days, the start of the journey.”

Ok, this was solid work by the C's marketing team.
Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)
