The Celtics stayed focused for a game that they might not have approached so well last season. They attacked the paint when Washington’s big man wasn’t available, and they got monster games from their two stars. It all adds up to a very satisfying win. John Karalis of Boston Sports Journal discusses all that went well (Tatum and Brown’s big nights, Kristap Porzingis, the post ups, and the defense from Jrue Holiday and Derrick White) and the didn’t go so well (the fourth quarter… ugh).

Boston Stock Exchange Sounds like a great 80s/90s nickname.
Let's bring them back.
The team looks so much better without Smart, playing a team like this last year we would came out sluggish and lost
Ah that feeling when Jaylen silenced the haters with his play (again).
JD Davison might be better than Pritchard in the "other things". If he's not making his shots, I'd rather see JD out there. The best 3pt shooters have two things going for them. confidence (at least 8-10 3ptAtt/100POS) and mechanics (at least 80% on FTs). If a player has both of these attributes and is having problems making 3s, it could be poor shot selection and/or a lack of quickness (getting into position, shooting release times, etc.).
Games like this Quetq should get minutes he could turn into a solid rotation player
Top tier podcaster John Koralis who played…a long time ago…in a galaxy far away (Greece)
Time to cut back some bench players time they had been shooting terrible. They got a chance to shine and did not seize the opportunity!

What's this play in tournament starting November 4th all about and are the Celtics involved?
John we need to see that 3 ball the next time youre on an open court postgame
Why was KP, horford & jrue playing?…. Was this a must win? Are they not old & have alot of miles? Its it not a long season.. who will we blame when these guys go down late in the year? Does the bench players not need minutes to gel?
No there are a ton of Celtics fans here in dc
Dc loves the Celtics
I loved, Tatum getting in the paint! What a great thing to see!
The bench was awful last night… Hopefully its just one of those nights.
Last night’s game win was basically a scrimmage
The bench sucks maybe he should give Svi Mykhailiuk more playing time, he only plays Pritchard and Hauser.
In 36
The Celtics need to maximize their strength (their top six players) by blowing the bad teams out early. This will allow their weakness (the bench) to get more playing time to get better and to weed out those who should never see the court, for example, Luke Kornet.
Let's go to the most important question, though: did Gallinari get his revenge game?
When it’s Pritchard and the back ups he needs to take the reigns like how he controlled the offense in the pre season. He doesn’t have the grit anymore
