Who is this new-look Boston Celtics team, and what do we think of them so far? The Celtics’ preseason opener against the Philadelphia 76ers was intense and showcased real basketball in a context one almost never sees it.

But even so, there are still some issues in need of attention. Sorting out who actually makes the team by opening night is among them, as is shoring up the ball club’s big man rotation to keep the legs of Kristaps Porzingis and Al Horford fresh for the 2024 NBA Playoffs.
In a recent episode of the CLNS Media “Winning Plays” podcast, host Brian Robb and guest Chris Forsberg of NBC Sports Boston discussed the Celtics, their preseason performances, and their early impressions of the team.
