#DifferentHere has a different meaning for the Boston Celtics this season. In years past, the slogan encapsulated the championship-level standards that come with donning the green and white. To some extent, it still does. But the more fitting meaning is the literal.
It’s actually different here now.
The roster is different. Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis were traded away to shed salary over the summer, while Al Horford and Luke Kornet signed elsewhere as free agents. Plus, Jayson Tatum remains sidelined as he recovers from the torn Achilles tendon he sustained during the playoffs last spring.
