- We continue our look at Celtics camp questions by looking at the defensive side of things. Can the Celtics defense stay at an elite level without Porzingis to start the season? How far can it drop and Boston still be OK? John Karalis of Boston Sports Journal and Tom Westerholm dig into it and look at how the defense might look different, and why the offense might just be good enough for it not to matter a whole lot.

Im a diehard Celtics fan and animator. I think I definitely want to start making Celtics related animations
Trust your work and go for it bro. Put it on all social medias and just go for it
Do it!
I will definitely watch

Go for it bro. The editor for the Celtics last season was only 21 and taught himself how to edit during the pandemic. Anything is possible
On defense the answer is yes. Because of who they've got as starters
Always good to hear from Tom
Is there any glaring weakness in this Celtics team once Porzingas comes back. As much as people are picking against the Celtics, can those people really say that the Celtics have a legitimate weakness. Other than last couple years their weakness was being unlucky and not showing up in the last 2 minutes of the ball game. But from a basketball perspective I do not see a weakness to even pick against the Celtics. It's the same way people couldn't find one against the 16/17 warriors. And they were the last to repeat. Am I missing something?
Health and that’s it. Aldo I think they can be in a better position by really incorporating the bench unit a tad more. Having a stronger bench with experience and confidence from reps in the regular season will help with any surprises and make us that more competitive
Yes it can we saw that all last year and through the playoffs they still have the rest of there team who are capable and familiar with Mazullas system. We will be 1 in defense and 1 in offense haters gonna hate.
I think the defense can still be elite. The guards alone should continue to be all-defensive caliber players. The Jays have shown they can defend almost anybody. Al will probably lose a step but that’s why they have Tillman. He’s a high level defender that can make a difference at certain points. When KP comes back, if they are playing well, it’s going to be something to watch having him on the floor. This team should be in the ECF again and possibly the Finals.
The WINNING!!!!!💚☘☘☘ will now begin.
Lets be honest. How often did we have Kristops to begin with. We have had Elite defending for awhile so not as worried about that. As long as we have him when it counts.
Even with KP out I still feel bos will be a top 5 D throughout the season. This team is really good without KP because of all the versatility it has.
The Nick and the thunder matchup very well with the Celtics. Those teams have me a little worried.
Dont need to worry about the Thunder. They in the West. Only matters if they get to the big show. Knicks are a different story tho.
Y’all talking down to much. Celtics need to be better than they was last year. I ain’t saying they have to win as many games but the goal she be to try and win more games. Tatum and brown both are getting into there prime so they both have another level they can step up too white can a will be better same for the bench players. This team should def be better than last year they learned a lot and won a championship in the process now they need to take what they learned and start the season off that way and they can repeat.

Xavier Tillman an elite defender so I’m honestly not worried about the defense
