The Super Support Squad: Holiday, White, and Porzingis flash offensive upside in third preseason game

I am on a never-ending quest to place the entire Celtics roster into fun little nicknamed groups, and these preseason games have provided plenty of inspiration. Monday’s game against the Knicks saw the Bus One Brigade take over, and Wednesday’s win over the 76ers saw the emergence of the Super Support Squad.

It’s a more selective club, consisting of only three members: Jrue Holiday, Kristaps Porzingis and Derrick White. Think of them as elite character actors in a big-budget Hollywood blockbuster. The show can’t go on without them, and while they definitely aren’t the main characters, they will be certified fan favorites.
