FINAL: Celtics 121, Grizzlies 103
A convincing win to kick off the preseasonšŖ
Just remembered the Celtics arenāt playing on Christmas Day for the first time in nine years
This graphic is ridiculous
Credit to Pritchard and White for handling their elevated ball-handling roles like champs
Hugo GonzƔlez leads all rookies in total plus/minus by a wide margin
As of this morning, he's a +132
The next closest rookie is VJ Edgecombe at +94
It's insane how quickly he's making an impact
I knew Jaylen Brownās shot last night looked familiarā¦
Took me back to a simpler time š„²
People who only look at box scores and don't watch games have no idea what's coming with Hugo
They're not gonna know what hit them until it's too late
š„šæ
With his 7th straight 30+ point game, Jaylen Brown tied Paul Pierce for the 2nd-longest 30-point streak in Celtics history
Only Larry Bird (9) has more.
h/t @realapp
Jaylen Brown tonight:
31 PTS (20 in 2H)
9 REB
2 BLK
1 STL
30+ points in 7 straight games, and 10 of his last 11
MVP-level stuff
Tonight's Celtics starting 5:
Payton Pritchard
Derrick White
Jaylen Brown
Josh Minott
Neemias Queta
A little surprised about Minott over Hugo, but I also like Hugo's energy off the bench
Let's roll āļø
