If the Celtics don't shore up their issues on the glass, they could finish as the worst defensive rebounding team of all time
Through 3 games, opponents have a 41.6% offensive rebound rate
The worst in NBA.com's database (back to 1997) is the 98 Raptors at 39.8%
Happy Celtics gameday! ☘️
Big one tonight as the C’s look for their first win of the season — and it won’t come easy against the NBA’s top offensive rebounding team (16.5 per game)
⏰ 8:00 PM ET
🏟️ Smoothie King Center
A team-high 10 rebounds for Payton Pritchard tonight
For all the team’s issues on the glass, PP is doing his part
This was the best I’ve felt after a loss at least
JB, Pritchard, White all looked more comfortable in their elevated offensive roles
Got to see more Hugo
The defense vs. the first shots was good, but they just don’t have answers on the glass
Scale of 1-10 how are we feeling?
An efficient 40 💣 from Jaylen Brown
There is hope for No. 1 option JB hoops 🙏
FINAL: Pistons 119, Celtics 114
They played well enough to win, but rebounding continues to be a massive struggle. Allowed 18 offensive rebounds for 30 second chance points
The now C’s fall to 0-3
What’s your biggest takeaway?
