Boston starts 2025–26 with lessons and laughs

The Celtics dropped their season opener 117–116 to the 76ers, missing Jayson Tatum and seeing Tyrese Maxey pour in 40 points. Neemias Queta impressed in his first start, while Payton Pritchard’s buzzer shot rimmed out.

Boston fans say it’s fine—as long as heartbreak counts as cardio.
