Reporting live from TD Garden tonight for the season opener!

Most of my Celtics stuff will be on that “other” app (@danield1214) but I’ll post here occasionally.

Joe Mazzulla has created a culture of recognition for the Celtics, and it’s evident in the way he talks about his former players — no matter how their tenure ended.

I asked him about Malcolm Brogdon last night and his complimentary response didn’t surprise me:

Joe Mazzulla on Jaylen Brown leaving last night’s preseason finale with hamstring tightness:

“I think he’ll be ok. I talked to him after (the game) and he said he’ll be fine. But I didn’t get a full update.”

It’s easy to dismiss Brandon Jennings’ comments about Jayson Tatum. And we probably should.

However, I took Jennings’ rant as an opportunity to discuss everything wrong with NBA discourse. Because the problems don’t end with him. ⬇️

Why Brandon Jennings' Jayson Tatum tirade is everything wrong with NBA discourse
Celtics star Jayson Tatum isn't flashy enough for former Bucks scorer Brandon Jennings, and it says a lot about NBA discourse.

Luke Kornet always makes for an entertaining press conference:

“Derrick and I know a thing or two about rejection.”

Sam Hauser on facing the 15-0 Cavs on Tuesday night:

“I haven’t paid much attention to it. But I think it’s cool that they are undefeated.”

The best postgame remark from last night came from Jayson Tatum:

“I got a lot of problems in life. Confidence has never been one of them.”

A reporter asked Joe Mazzulla if he watched the fights last night.

“Those aren’t fights,” he answered.

Will be at Celtics-Raptors today!

It’s by no means a highly-anticipated matchup, but it’s the kind of game where Boston can establish good habits.

Doing that in the regular season last year paid dividends in the postseason.
