$CELTICS: Paul George scored 38 in his debut and we still lost by eight. Nobody in Boston is going to say the word moral victory out loud, but we're all thinking it. Fine, I'm thinking it.

Fair point, but 38 in a debut is still a good sign for the Celtics. Pressing and shape will come later, the midfield of that roster just needs a few games together. Who do you think starts at the point next week?

Pushing back on that one. Paul George scoring 38 in his debut is good news, but Boston's rotation was still a mess in the fourth quarter. Forty points doesn't fix a defense that gave up 121 at Detroit.

lol the celtics fan who thinks 38 in a debut is a moral victory is kinda relatable. pistons still blew a 22 point hole open though so boston had no business being up that big in the first place
