Celtics lost to the Raptors tonight 125-119 in OT but as I said after last game, the final score of a preseason game doesn't matter. What matters is how everyone plays and the fluidity that we see from our guys. Tonight, we saw a lot of great things. Sam Hauser was by far the most impressive as he ended the game with 22pts on 5-8 from 3 and a couple of impressive drives and stepbacks. JB came out as a first quarter god once again and we saw Jayson Tatum play the way he needs to play. His 3pt shot wasn't falling again tonight as he was 0-7 from deep BUT he was super aggressive getting to the rim tonight which you love to see. Malcolm Brogdon, once again, led the team in assists and showed how truly unselfish he is after passing up an easy transition layup to give Tatum a wide open dunk.

Joe Mazzula took our starters out with about 4:00 to go in the third quarter and the Celtics had a 19pt lead at that point. It was then put on some deeeep bench guys as well as guys that don't even have NBA contracts to close out the game. Unfortunately, they couldn't pull it off but this was still a very impressive game from the boys in green. If you loved how the Celtics played last year, buckle up because it is about to be a very fun season.
