That’s it, I am starting it. It’s opening day! Most of us probably won’t see a ton of the game because of the Red Sox but I’ll try to watch as much as possible.

They’ll win some games and lose some games. People will over-react both ways and Rob Williams will get hurt again and UMASS will still argue he’s not injury prone because of something the coach said or the fact it’s not some chronic thing. 😏. Jokes just jokes

Jokes just jokes Robert Williams doesn't get injured, he's just a big boy that needs some rest from time to time.

Josh Richardson isn’t playing tonight due to migraine… not sad about it but migraines suck so feel better Josh.

Grant Williams is a good dude, but a bad nba player.

I've switched from the Sox to the Celts too.

I've been here for a while and Brown was on fire in the first, 20 points.

Just a putrid offensive performance by Tatum. He needs to start showing up to seasons ready to play.

Same BS every year with this group. They face a little adversity and they immediately crumble and resort to hero ball.

Oh my god. I just tuned in and this team is a MESS defensively. Why was TimeLord switched onto Rose for three consecutive possessions while Robinson/Toppin abused Pritchard/Langford/Schroeder down low?! I thought Ime was a defensive coach!

Wow, they look just like last year....but worse! Not sure what they see in Grant Williams.

Kind of ironic watching Fournier with clutch plays - ate Brown's lunch on that key play

And just like that - Smart ties it with a last second three. So....will it be one of those seasons? of course!

Can’t say they didn’t try. They’ll be healthier and Tatum probably won’t be that bad again this season

The team needs to develop some poise toward the end of games so they can close. Iso ball, impatience, flailing away....just like last year. Hopefully that is a coachable thing over time.

Nice game! Really liked some of the stuff I saw. Second OT was ridiculous, but guys had nothing left.

Just a putrid offensive performance by Tatum. He needs to start showing up to seasons ready to play. He shot poorly but other than that he played rather well offensively. He seemed to be making the right plays and not forcing stuff. He missed a ton of shots he would normally make but that happens now and again. It’s why guys don’t shoot 70% from the field. They have some clunkers mixed in.

Also, is this the year Jaylen Brown finally gets some recognition? He makes noticeable improvements every year, but people always want to cap his ceiling and act like he’s already reached it. This is my yearly reminder, he’s only 24! Fine 25 in 3 days, but still, he’s still a young guy. Not even a veteran yet. The man was running the pick and roll last night and doing it effectively.
