Champions’ Swagger
The Boston Celtics are sending a loud and clear message to the rest of the NBA: they’re not slowing down anytime soon. After a dominating 30-point win over the Atlanta Hawks, the Celts are proving that they’re still the team to beat.
Off to a Historic Start
At 7-1, the Celtics are off to an even better start than their historic 2023-24 season. They’re currently ranked first in offense, with a net rating of +14.1, and their defense is ranked fourth. It’s scary to think that they’re still not playing at full strength or effort.
Tatum’s Unstoppable
Jayson Tatum is having the best season of his career, and it’s not even close. He’s playing with a confidence and swagger that’s making him nearly unguardable. His ability to mix it up between outside shooting and attacking the rim is leaving defenders bewildered.
White’s Star Power
Derrick White is proving why he’s a star in his own right. He’s not just a role player; he’s a dominant force on the court. His ability to score, pass, and defend at an elite level makes him a nightmare matchup for opponents.
Defense Stepping Up
After a shaky start to the season, the Celtics’ defense is finally rounding into form. They held the Hawks to under 100 points and dominated the fastbreak battle 35-4. It’s a testament to their commitment to limiting easy transition buckets and playing smart, disciplined defense.
Bench Mob
Payton Pritchard is making a strong case for Sixth Man of the Year. His confidence is oozing out of every pore, and he’s playing with a freedom that’s allowing him to take over games. Neemias Queta is also proving to be a valuable asset off the bench, providing athleticism and rim protection that’s unmatched by other bigs.
Looking Ahead
The Celtics are gearing up for their biggest test of the season: a showdown with the Golden State Warriors. It’s a chance for them to send a message to the rest of the league and prove that they’re still the team to beat. With their confidence and swagger at an all-time high, it’s hard not to like their chances.
