It is a herculean task to focus on the positive side. Especially, through two hard preseason losses. Undoubtedly, the Philadelphia 76ers and the Brooklyn Nets both looked exceptionally good. However, the Boston Celtics spattered out of the gate. The constant juggling of rotations, heavy minutes for unproven youngsters, and bruises to crucial veterans, all of these are causes of the frustration. They are most probably stuck around into the regular season.
The constant in Boston is Jayson Tatum. He is the one who now has to clasp a larger role. The role will be of the undisputed alpha on offense. He’ll do most of the heavy lifting. Not only this, he'll captain the strike. But, he can’t do it all himself. So, it would be better to focus on his playmaking. And, also on the attention, he garnered. This will help to figure out where and how that can be utilized.
