The Boston Celtics have played their first 2 preseason games since the last show. The Celtics Talk Crew came live to you on 10/3 just 24 hours before the 2016/17 Boston Celtics team was gonna have their first action. The Celtics started the preseason by taking on the Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday October 4th. The Celtics lost that game 92-89 to start 0-1 on the preseason. The game featured the Celtics starting the game off with a lineup of Isaiah Thomas PG, Avery Bradley SG, Jae Crowder SF, Amir Johnson PF, and Al Horford C. The starters managed to outscore their Philadelphia counterparts 41-36. However the Celtics bench didn't look that great as they blew a double digit lead that the starters had gotten for them. Then 2 nights later the Celtics took on the Charlotte Hornets in a game where they would win 107-92. This game featured the Celtics starters giving the bench a slim lead once they took over in the 1st quarter. The Celtics bench would increase the lead to a 22-14 edge but then lost it as the Hornets would score 9 straight to take the lead 23-22 with just under 3 minutes left in the 1st quarter and the Celtics would continue to trail all the way to the 10:04 mark of the 3rd quarter. The Celtics would use the 3rd quarter to not only retake the lead but blow the game open as they used a 30-4 run over the first 7:59 of the quarter to go from being down 51-44 to leading 74-55 and it was smooth sailing from there. So we will recap those 2 games as we are joined by Bobby Krivitsky and he will give us his thoughts on what we have seen through the first 2 games.
