2026 Celtics Playoff Discussion

As far as the center rotation, don't rule out Tatum at 5 stints. There's a few matchups where that will make some sense.

Yeah I agree. I think there will be some times where teams are hurting us in the pick and roll and trying to switch everything will be our way to give a different look.

I would go Baylor.

Queta is very very close, and he has probably been the most improved overall and is a legit starting center. But Baylor has shocked me, he's ended up looking even better than Hauser already and is capable of starting on this team. That's a crazy turnaround from how it looked before December. Plus in the past month, he's had some big games against teams like OKC and NY. That's incredible, and a good sign going forward.

Queta. He turned into a legitimate starting caliber center. I always liked him, but thought he?d be more of a backup. Then I?d probably go with JB. Turned into a top 10 player in the NBA.

I noticed you didn?t list Joe as an option.

Posted it in the NBA Season thread as well, but Celtics open up Game 1 next Sunday at 1 PM

Kind of surprised the C's get an ABC primetime game to start
