Kristaps Porzingis was getting ready to head back to the away locker room after embracing many former Wizards teammates, but then spotted Ted Leonsis so jogged over for a quick embrace. – 9:22 PM

#Celtics are 3-0 and there isn’t a clear loss in sight. #Pacers loom as a challenge, with their floor-spreading ability, speed and waves of bench depth. They played the C’s tough throughout last year and have started strong. WED @ 7:30. – 9:22 PM

#Celtics starters should be done in a game that felt decided in 5 minutes. Brown/Tatum scored 69 PTs on 27/45 FG, one of their highest combined totals ever.

Wizards trailed by 26 in the first quarter tonight. It was their biggest first-quarter deficit since Jan. 16, 2002, when Richard Jefferson dunked for a 43-16 New Jersey lead over the Wiz in a game where he was guarded by Michael Jordan.
We never heard from either guy ever again. – 7:51 PM

Kristaps Porziņģis received some nice cheers when he was introduced as a starter tonight, with the caveat that there are a lot of Celtics fans inside Capital One Arena. – 7:07 PM

Interesting. With Daniel Gafford out because of a sprained left ankle, the Wizards will start rookie Bilal Coulibaly alongside Tyus Jones, Jordan Poole, Deni Avdija and Kyle Kuzma. So, Coulibaly will have his first regular-season start. – 6:41 PM

#Celtics #Wizards in just over 3 hours – Daniel Gafford sprained his ankle on Saturday and is questionable. Landry Shamet is out with a toe injury.
They start Jones-Poole-Kuzma-Avdija around Gafford. Corey Kispert/Poole shot 9/22 3PT with 49 PTS SAT. Jones added 4/8. – 3:47 PM

Subtle development I’ve noticed from Tyrese Maxey thru the first 3 games:
He’s more comfortable pulling up to his left coming off a pick.
Going to his left, period, was something he needed to work on, particularly after Boston gave him trouble forcing him left in playoffs. pic.twitter.com/CUSBaeNpg9 – 1:54 PM

(1/4) The Wizards’ keys tonight against Boston:
+ Play with as much or more defensive effort at the point of attack as they did against Memphis. If the Wizards do a good job of keeping the paint clear, Daniel Gafford won’t have to help so much if Gafford (ankle) is able to play. – 1:39 PM
