I know we offloaded money but got not much in return and don’t have JT to start the season. 17 is fair considering. Bad offseason so far.
ESPN just dropped its post-free agency NBA power rankings, and the Celtics land at 17th overall (7th in the East).
How do you feel about this placement?
Jaylen Brown in each half:
1H — 27 PTS, 11-16 FG, 1 TOV
2H — 10 PTS, 3-6 FG, 5 TOV
The Blazers adjusted by sending two defenders at JB more often and the C's offense faltered without anyone else having it
Prob the most the C's have missed Tatum in any game this season
Queta and Garza have capitalized on opportunities this year, but it's clear the C's still need frontcourt reinforcements
Another 15 offensive rebounds surrendered tonight
They've improved from opening night, but they can't hang with some of the league's best rebounding teams
With 17 minutes still left, Jaylen Brown already has another 30-point game — tying Larry Bird’s Celtics record with nine straight 30-point performances

Jaylen Brown just passed Bill Sharman for 12th on the Celtics' all-time scoring leaders list
