Celtics basketball starts today!
Ok, it’s only a preseason game, I get it. But that doesn’t mean we can’t get excited about the season to come! And with that in mind, I joined up with Jason Timpf of the Hoops Tonight podcast to do a deep dive preview of the Celtics roster and how their season could shake out.
We hit on:
Anfernee Simons and his potential value
Simons’ upside if he can figure out his defense
The importance of defensive IQ execution
How the overall offense could change to suit the new team
Concerns about the center rotation
Questions about the depth at both forward positions
Why Chris Boucher makes more sense at the four
How Jayson Tatum’s return could impact trade decisions
And a bunch of other stuff.

I’ll be back here tomorrow with some thoughts from tonight’s game, and then we can start finding a cadence between postgame content and deep dive analysis — I have some ideas there, too :)
Enjoy the episode and let’s get a conversation going in the comments
