This week in Celtics talk
The talk keeps coming back to the Celtics' rocky start after trading Jaylen Brown and adding Paul George. Opening night was rough, with Boston blowing a big lead to Detroit while Tatum looked passive and hesitant, though George had an impressive debut. The shows have been debating whether Tatum can carry the team without Brown to share the load, and whether the new roster fits will actually work out despite the preseason expectations.
