Jabari Parker gave Boston good minutes offensively. As his stint went along, the Wizards started attacking him in isolation for buckets. – 8:28 PM

Was initially hard to tell what happened, but Daniel Gafford and Jaylen Brown got tangled up on a fast break, and Gafford stayed down for a long time while holding what appeared to be his right knee. He eventually got up and was helped off, but put little weight on his right leg. – 8:27 PM

Schroder, second in sixth man voting in 2019-20, is bringing that spark now. Hits a three, drives baseline next time down, and then steals the ball and feeds Horford off the break. – 8:18 PM

Impressive stretch there from Dennis Schroder, who – after the Wizards had broken the game open with a 28-8 run – hits a 3, drives in for a layup, gets a steal and creates another layup for Al Horford on 3 straight possessions to get Boston back to within 38-31 early in the 2nd. – 8:17 PM

Robert Williams is going to the offensive glass a lot early in the season. I wonder if part of that is because Boston is fine with him picking up guards in transition as he gets back. If you trust him to switch on them in the halfcourt, might as well pick them up on the change. – 8:06 PM

I’m not sure if it’s the sets, but Montrezl Harrell is doing a lot of standing at the top of the key and doing nothing. He’s not screening. He’s not rim running. He’s not cutting. He’s just standing out there. – 7:55 PM

I think it’s become clear that when they are all healthy, Ime Udoka likes the Smart, Brown, Tatum, Horford, R. Williams group to open games.
Schroder brings good energy and scoring off the bench. And Horford will go out early in each half for Grant, then back to bridge quarters. – 7:17 PM

When judging Jayson Tatum’s improvement in making teammates better, it would be a mistake to focus solely on his assist numbers.
Some of the best plays he can make will entail simply moving the ball, cutting and getting it back a pass or two later in finishing position. – 6:50 PM

We have enough depth so we’re good — it also moves Corey [Kispert] up in the rotation.

Coach Udoka has been impressed with Jayson Tatum’s playmaking and balanced offensive attack: “He’s a guy that I feel should get five-plus triple-doubles a year, and he’s on pace with that the way he’s moving the ball.” – 5:58 PM

On Aaron Nesmith’s early struggles, Ime Udoka said he thinks Nesmith is “playing a little too fast. I think he’s pressing a little bit and rushing things. He needs to slow down some and settle.” – 5:55 PM

Al Horford is in, Romeo out tonight.
I asked about Nesmith – Udoka says there’s an opportunity there for him but says Nesmith is pressing and playing fast right now. He needs to slow down – 5:54 PM

Ime Udoka says deciding who the captains are took a backseat during preseason due to Horford and Brown getting COVID and needing to focus on the roster churn. He hasn’t thought about it since early camp, but says he’s more concerned with his players leading than naming a captain. – 5:53 PM

Ime Udoka said that Boston hasn’t named captains yet. He said it took a backseat when other needs popped up during the preseason. He said right now the Celtics are focused on getting on track vs having designated captains. Udoka said many players can be leaders without captaincy. – 5:53 PM

Two reasons why Wizards-Celtics tonight is interesting to me: 1) we saw what happened in Brooklyn, how close are the Wizards to the 2nd tier in the East? 2) J Tatum helped expose their lack of size at the 3 last year, so they added wing defense. How much did they help that cause? – 2:32 PM

Watched the Boston 4th quarter back, have to say it feels like Boston made some good late adjustments. Full court pressure, intentionally fouling Plumlee, really through Charlotte off their rhythm and slowed the pace, watch for other teams to do the same – 2:01 PM
