CELTICS BASKETBALL IS BACK!!! There is nothing sweeter than heading into our first preseason game and seeing them blow out a team. I have said it several times but you shouldn't focus on the score and who wins or loses a preseason game. You need to focus on how they are playing the game and they played pretty damn well today. It wasn't all perfect as they still struggled with 23 Turnovers but overall, this was a very impressive game all around.

We saw Sam Hauser come out guns a-blazing finishing with 14pts on 4-5 from 3. We saw Kapangele and Vonleh both contribute at a pretty high level. Kapangele looked like he belonged on the court with all these guys and provided a Rob Lite experience. Grant looked phenomenal carrying over his hot shooting from last year. Brogdon was phenomenal leading the team with 9 assists. JB looked unstoppable. What's more impressive than the individual performances is the fact that the Celtics had 41 assists on 48 makes and shot 46.8% from 3. Obviously, that sort of shooting is not sustainable but you love seeing this type of performance early on where they haven't really built any chemistry together. It's a good sign of things to come!
