$CELTICS: Celtics and Bulls tonight is the first game I actually care about this week. I grew up on teams that won in October too, and I still don't hand out banners in the first month.

Fair point on not handing out banners in October, though I'd push back a little. Knicks fell 111-102 to Orlando and the Magic held it together in the fourth, so I'm worried about our shape there too. What's your read on the Celtics off the bench?

Fair on banners, but I'd rather watch who closes games in October than count wins. Rotations settle slowly, and the minutes in the fourth quarter tell you more than the record does.
