Celtics (0-0) at Pistons (0-0) Game #1 10/20/26

Wow, forgot the season started today lol.

I'm predicting 48-34, 4 or 5 seed, but a pretty fun season with the young guys continuing to grow/improve as well. And I'm also hoping it'll help in the playoffs, being a bit more battle-tested and with another season under their belts for the young guys in particular.

48 wins?  Really?  8 less than last season?  I know the East is tougher this season, and maybe there will be less tanking overall, but I will take the over on that.

I'm hoping for 55-60....need to stay healthy and manage minutes for PG and Robinson.

I think we may be a tremendous regular season team. I could see 60+ wins with the depth of this team. But I do wonder how it will play out in the playoffs.

I could see 54+ wins just with a lower overall ceiling.

Kinda sucks that I can't watch opening day because they timeslot it when I have work.

Go Cs anyway!

Anyone else getting Dateline on
NBC??

Mitchell Robinson and Jordan Walsh starting.  Walsh is not a surprise but I am surprised that Robinson is the starter.  He hasn't missed any FT yet.

I forgot that DET got John Collins.  He could be a good fit for them.  I don't like him so much next to Duncan Robinson as the other forward, not enough rebounding, but Collins cold be a good fit overall for DET.

Got flexed in my area to METV which I don't have. Leaguepass doesn't have it since its on nationally...I hate all of this

If the Celtics can cut the turnovers, they should be ok

He backfills for Isaiah Stewart.

Tatum is ICE COLD.

But 4 Asts.

I'm actually liking the way we're playing. We're getting great shots against a really tough defense - Tatum in particular - just not knocking down some easy looks, especially Tatum. Tatum's all around game is good with 7, 4, and 3 after 1. Pretty good first quarter for him. Good to also see PG get a few to go.

Now comes the real test without JT. Do we have enough offense and playmaking?
