Fast pace, fresh faces, and Tatum’s steady rehab
The Celtics tipped off camp with pace so quick it’s been compared to a NASCAR pit stop. Jayson Tatum continues Achilles recovery while newcomers like Anfernee Simons and Chris Boucher settle in. Even Xavier Tillman shed 12 pounds—proof the real rival might be pizza, not the Lakers.
Coach Joe Mazzulla stressed toughness, veterans showed leadership, and Payton Pritchard promised the team will fly no matter who grabs the ball. Fans, buckle in—Boston looks ready for lift-off.
