Let’s go boyzzzzzzzzzzzzz. It all starts tonight.

With so many moving parts I expect some growing pains until everyone adjusts to their roles.

Hopefully nesmith forced himself into the rotation with his shooting.

Nesmith may be a key to this season. If he takes a step up, it'll be huge for the Celtics.

I think next year is more likely, but at least some signs of life and spacing.

Idk what to do with Romeo. He’s never been healthy enough to get a full shot

Yeah, Nesmith's young... (21?)... but he can definitely shoot and I love his hussle.

Keep in mind, we just need him to show 'promise' in order for him to be very useful... as a trade chip.

Yeah, Romeo gotta stay healthy. And he has to shoot better.

Langford's very athletic and he has got a good frame for a SG... so the potential on the defensive end is strong... but that's not near enough to be a high quality contributor.

Asymptomatic.

Looks like Brown is required to quarantine until at least Oct 18th... and our first game of the season is Oct 20th.

So hopefully Jaylen's ready to go for opening night.

This is a little interesting:


Apparently, Smart missed the team flight before the Orlando preseason game... obviously, a no-no... leading to his one game suspension. Not a big deal in the grand scheme of things.

But it was one of the first (visible) tests of our new coach, and I think Udoka handled it well. Gotta hold Smart accountable there... gotta have rules, and enforce them fairly/equally on all.

Not a good start for a guy who wants to lead

What if he was stuck in traffic?

Sure, there are valid excuses for missing a flight.

But it doesn't sound like Smart had one.

Again, in the grand scheme of things not necessarily a huge deal... but I think the coach handled it well.

Again, I'm happy with the coach here.

I think the last couple of seasons, the Celtics (as a team) have b!tched at the ref's a little too much.

Would be great if Udoka could clean that up.

It’s still funny coming from a spur

Anyone remember when former NBAer Jay Williams tweeted right after Udoka was hired that he was happy the Celtics finally hired a black HC? Too funny.

Obviously he didn't know about Bill Russell, KC Jones & ML Carr or Doc Rivers. What a dumbbell.

First Kyrie tells the world the Earth is flat then Williams did that. What they hell do they teach at dook?

Unofficial Depth Chart:

PG (1) - Marcus Smart, Dennis Schroder, Payton Pritchard

SG (2) - Josh Richardson, Jaylen Brown, Marcus Smart, Aaron Nesmith, Romeo Langford

SF (3) - Jaylen Brown, Jayson Tatum, Aaron Nesmith, Romeo Langford, Grant Williams, Sam Hauser

PF (4) - Jayson Tatum, Al Horford, Juancho Hernangomez, Grant Williams

C (5) - Robert Williams III, Al Horford, Enes Kanter, Grant Williams, Bruno Fernando

Guys fighting for a spot on the roster:
  • Jabari Parker (PF)
  • Ryan Arcidiacono (PG)
  • Theo Pinson (SG)
  • Garrison Mathews (SG)
  • Juwan Morgan (PF)
  • Luke Kornet (C)
Looks like Jabari Parker won the battle for that last roster spot.

I’m curious who they get and if they’re somehow better than Mathews
