Taking stock of the Boston Celtics a quarter way through the NBA’s 2023-24 season

The blurriest of outlines of who the Celtics and their peers are as teams is starting to come into focus. What does it tell us?

The Boston Celtics and most of the NBA have completed roughly one quarter of their slate of regular season games for the 2023-24 season, and with that milestone, we can say the blurriest of outlines of who the Celtics and their peers are as teams is starting to come into focus.

And with that (very limited) clarity, we can begin to say some things about what the team has done so far that is worth talking about, what they still need to accomplish if they truly wish to contend for a title in the 2024 postseason, and what sort of changes need to be made to that effect.

To such an end, the Celtics Wire put together a panel of all the writers who cover the Celtics on our NBA Wires network or elsewhere to talk through all fo the above, with Adam Taylor, Cameron Tabatabaie, Justin Quinn, and Jack Simone sharing their thoughts. Let’s dive in.
