NEW @celticsclns.bsky.social - I talked to most of the #Celtics' players about how Tatum has helped them while he rehabs.
"A lot of guys that know they got an extended amount of time (out), they’re gonna separate themselves...he’s been like an extra coach."

Could Jayson Tatum return sooner than expected?🤔
@realbobmanning.bsky.social & @noadalzell.bsky.social discuss on a Practice Edition of @TheGardenReport
WATCH on @CLNSMedia: youtu.be/EO1ii_aQz70
NEW @celticsclns.bsky.social -- The #Celtics sounded frustrated with their effort on Friday against the #Nets. But they won on the off. boards, tied the turnover battle and shot over 55% on 2s.
Key stretches cost them again: www.clnsmedia.com/even-reachin...
NEW @celticsclns.bsky.social - As Steve Kerr & injury reports around the league sound the alarm on NBA health, the #Celtics have been arguably the healthiest team in the league. But it's hard to ignore the one exception: Jayson Tatum www.clnsmedia.com/joe-mazzulla...
Joe and others weighed in today

NEW @celticsclns.bsky.social - On a team balancing an old 3PT identity with a new defensive one, Anfernee Simons is stuck in the middle & received only 2 first half mins. in favor of González, Walsh FRI before providing badly needed 2H shooting. He accepted it: www.clnsmedia.com/celtics-need...
NEW @celticsclns.bsky.social - The #Celtics fell to 0-3 in DET, unable to grab a REB in the final 3 min. So they moved onto a 3rd new starting PF.
Josh Minott, a former 2R sparsely used by the Wolves, now looks like part of the C's present & future after 21pts WED: www.clnsmedia.com/how-celtics-...

Discussed this story and Tatum's progress on the Garden Report as well: youtu.be/_4ovlbNsQII
NEW @celticsclns.bsky.social -- Mazzulla and Jayson Tatum's mother reached out to Durant after Tatum tore his Achilles. He left them some simple advice: "Try to ease his mind."
KD hopes Tatum becomes the new model for Achilles recovery & sees him well on his way: www.clnsmedia.com/kevin-durant...

@celticsclns.bsky.social
-- #Celtics' players don't feel far away from a breakthrough. But how much of the 0-2 start was execution? And how much was it their roster construction giving them little-no room for error? www.clnsmedia.com/celtics-dont...
NEW @celticsclns.bsky.social -- Simons was proud of himself after his #Celtics debut: "Wasn’t perfect, made some mistakes, but I showed up," he told me after.
For a player who admitted effort contributed to past defensive struggles, it was a step:

Wrote about an opening night that started with promise before flaws (depth, defense, size) showed late and cost the #Celtics a game they were in a great position to win.
They don't have margin for error this year @celticsclns.bsky.social www.clnsmedia.com/celtics-as-c...
NEW @celticsclns.bsky.social: They're as competitive as we thought & as flawed as many imagined in an L. They flew around early & slowed late. Queta & Tillman showed flashes, then C's played no centers on their last possession
On a night of Celtics contradictions

We're live!
Live now with @ramblinwreck34.bsky.social talking Derrick White and the #Celtics! @celticsclns.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRsr...
LIVE #GardenReport -- 7PM EST tonight with Derrick White's dad @ramblinwreck34.bsky.social ahead of a big season for Derrick.
We'll talk expectations for White & the team ahead of Wednesday's opener & take some questions!
@celticsclns.bsky.social youtube.com/live/JRsrlHq...
great stuff throughout from @realbobmanning.bsky.social, including his thoughts on why payton pritchard is a name to watch this year⤵️
Joe on Tillman's resurgence: "He's been here for 2.5 years and I think he's the ultimate professional and has handled the situation, coming in halfway through the year ... last year not going the way he wanted it to ... I think we're doing some things defensively that fit (him)"
Tillman being back to himself is an underrated development for this team.
NEW @celticsclns.bsky.social - That media game was ugly, but it reminded us how much we love this game, why we got into media, how much of a machine #NBA staffs are. And gave us *some* bonding w/ Joe
Thanks to Jr. @celticsnba.bsky.social Academy for putting it on.
www.clnsmedia.com/joe-mazzulla...
NEW @ CLNS - It's not 'Mazzulla-ball,' Joe argues. But new players join the #Celtics knowing him from viral presser clips: "It’s unfortunate that it’s gotten to that point," he says. "I don’t want it to be, 'you have to adapt to Joe.' No, we have to work together."
www.clnsmedia.com/how-new-celt...
NEW @celticsclns.bsky.social from Toronto -- After massive offseason losses at the position, the #Celtics' remaining centers are motivated, rather than feeling slighted over doubts about their ability to take over: "Everybody's gonna say what they think."
www.clnsmedia.com/celtics-cent...
#Celtics starters:
Simons
Pritchard
Minott
Boucher
Queta
Looks like a rest night for Brown and White.
NEW @celticsclns.bsky.social: On the monumental legacy Al Horford leaves, and why he left the #Celtics for the #Warriors.
"I don’t think it was under his control," his father Tito said.
"Love and respect for everybody over there, and best wishes for the Celtics."

@johnzannis.bsky.social, Jimmy and I starting it off with @noadalzell.bsky.social joining later in Memphis: www.youtube.com/watch?v=gY-M...
NEW - Anfernee Simons reunited w/ C's assistant Ross McMains this summer, who worked out with him in 2020. They've been focusing on defense to begin every day together since July
"Building his defensive identity...this environment is going to bring that out of him"
www.clnsmedia.com/exclusive-ho...
Do the #Celtics have the players to play more physical defense this year (like the #Thunder)?
They're going to try, so @noadalzell.bsky.social & I discussed. #TheGardenReport
