The Celtics Talk Crew recaps preseason games 3 and 4 with special guest John Karalis from Redsarmy.com. The Celtics defeated the Charlotte Hornets 104-86 on Saturday October 8 in a game that saw 4 of the 5 Celtics starters sit as Jae Crowder was the only starter to play in his regular role. This game was a coming out party for Jordan Mickey who led the team with 16 points. Followed by Tyler Zeller, Gerald Green and R.J, Hunter respectively in the scoring department. Then 5 nights later the Celtics took on the Brooklyn Nets down in Brooklyn. The Celtics faced a tougher test then was anticipated from the Nets but still managed to come awat with a 100-97 win over the Nets. This game saw the starting 5 play through 3 quarters and take the entire 4th quarter off leaving the bench with the lead only to see the bench blow the lead and get it back in the final minute off a nice breakaway play that saw Terry Rozier pass the ball upcourt to Jaylen Brown who then attacked the only Nets defender that was back to then pass the ball with his left hand behind the back to a wide open trailing Jordan Mickey for the game winning 2 handed slam. So we will discuss should we be worried about the bench knowing they blew the lead against the Nets or be happy with their progress knowing the Nets had starters playing vs our bench when the bench blew the lead
