For the most part, none of that happened against Washington on Wednesday night in the Celtics 136-107 blowout of the Wizards.
By now, it is no secret that the Celtics got a lot smaller after the exits of Kristaps Porzingis, Al Horford, and Luke Kornet.
The Utah Jazz, thanks to a last-second miracle from Jusuf Nurkic, and a season-best night from Keyonte George pulled out a big road win against the Boston Celtics that now lifts them to a 3-4 record on the season, while also breathing some much-needed life into the team after falling to three-straight losses heading into the night.
Jaylen Brown led the way for the hosts with a game-high 35 points as all five Boston starters scored in double figures. Josh Minott added a career-high 21 points while Neemias Queta chipped in with 15 points and 12 rebounds while going a perfect 7-of-7 from the field.
More importantly, will it matter if he is given things would really need to go sideways for Boston this season?
Do the Boston Celtics have too much talent to tank? The Celtics downshifted this past offseason to lessen the impact of what would have been a historic tax bill and reduce the second apron penalties their roster would have brought them had they not parted ways with Al Horford, Luke Kornet, Jrue Holiday, and Kristaps Porzingis.
The Celtics starters were everywhere Wednesday in the win over the Wizards, snapping a two-game losing streak.
Jaylen Brown reaches 30 points for the fifth time in his last seven games, and Boston hands Washington its sixth loss in a row.
