So You Want to Be a Celtics Fan? A Guide to the 2023-24 Beantown Bunch
Ah, the Boston Celtics. A storied franchise with a legion of fans (and a healthy dose of haters) so passionate they practically bleed green. You're here because, well, you might be one of those new fans, or maybe you're just curious about what kind of squad the Celtics are rocking this year. Either way, you've come to the right place, my friend. Buckle up, we're about to dive into the Beantown Bunch!
The Core: Our Jays Got Your Back
Let's start with the heart and soul of this team: Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, better known on the playground (and probably in Tatum's mom's basement) as "The Jays." These two young bucks are like peanut butter and jelly, Batman and Robin, Beyoncé and Jay-Z (okay, maybe that last one is a stretch, but you get the idea). They can score, they can defend, and they'll make you jump out of your seat with highlight-reel plays.
The Supporting Cast: A Mixed Bag of Veterans and Rising Stars
Now, you can't win a championship with just a dynamic duo, can you? That's where the rest of the roster comes in. We've got veterans like Al Horford bringing championship experience (and maybe some dad jokes), Derrick White reminding everyone he's actually a good shooter (seriously, look it up!), and the ever-reliable Marcus Smart diving for loose balls like a man possessed (seriously, how does he do that?). Then there are the youngsters like Payton Pritchard, ready to take pesky guards to school, and Sam Hauser, whose three-point shot is as pure as maple syrup (because Canada, duh).
Don't Forget About the Big Guys!
We can't forget the fellas down low! Kristaps Porziņģis is a walking highlight reel, and we're hoping he can stay healthy this year. Then there's Luke Kornet, who might just surprise you with his sneaky good passing skills.
Who Are These Other Guys?
Listen, a team's gotta have depth, and the Celtics have got that in spades. There are rookies waiting for their chance to shine, guys on two-way contracts fighting for a roster spot, and let's not forget the coaches who put it all together. We won't overwhelm you with all the names here, but trust us, they're all there and ready to contribute.
