Teague fills stat sheet, Smart does Smart things against Bucks

Dominic Toretto once said, “It doesn’t matter if you win by an inch or a mile, winning’s winning.” In their NBA season-opening win, the Boston Celtics channeled their inner Fast & Furious to edge out the Milwaukee Bucks, with Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown the supercars that drove the charge.

Midway through the first movie in the Fast franchise, Brian (Paul Walker) owes Dominic (Vin Diesel) a ten-second car. Having totaled his last mechanical wonder, Brian provides Dom with a well-worn chassis that’s screaming for a return to its former glory.

Jeff Teague is that chassis, a battle-weary vet whose value sits below the sum of his parts.
