Have the Celtics blown any team out this year? I think Knicks were the only one. I want to see one really bad.

We are good defensively, as predicted. But the offense is no good and Hayward a huuuuuge loss there.


Oh me too. I’m not drinking any Kool Aid. Just see the immense growth potential offensively and they will be very lethal soon.

One thing I’ve learned so far this young season, Marcus Morris will not finish in the Top 10 on the Celtics in assists for the team. Nader will finish 10th.

Brown has looked absolutely incredible on offense now for the 3rd straight game. Dead eye from 3. \

He has succeeded in me not being sure if Tatum is already better than him or not.

Agreed, this team in general is just really fun to watch. It's been awhile since I liked a celtics team this much.

Well there offense is at a C level so far this year and they have plenty of room to get better. That's what makes them even more promising.

Maybe, but 21st-ranked offense vs a soft schedule could also be a sign of things to come.

While I tend to agree somewhat, our bench is shooting under 20%. The law of averages tells me that should improve because it can’t get much worse, in which case, our offensive rating should start climbing. We just need to stay sharp on defense.

Kyrie and Jaylen just trying to make sure Brad doesn't make them 6th men when Hayward returns.

Jaylen screwed up spinning into a double team.. nothing to complain about so far, but this is a hot half quarter, not a well played one.

Jaylen Brown stroking threes like a champ. If he becomes a knock-down shooter then he'll a 20+ PPG scorer.

Magic and Kings as well. Honestly we're doing pretty well in point differential and have had a fair number of games that weren't really in question, even if we haven't had a ton of 20+ point blowouts.
