Boston Celtics Preview
The Boston Celtics haven’t gotten off to the best of starts this season. In the eight games they’ve played thus far, they’ve only managed two victories.
The team may take some time to settle in, given the number of changes in the coaching staff and management during the summer. So far, Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown have looked fantastic, but they haven’t been enough to lead the Celtics to victory.
After the team’s loss to the Chicago Bulls, coach Ime Udoka was harsh with the players. With a remarkable performance against the Magic on Wednesday, they’ll try to flip the tables and go back on track.
