The Celtics demolished the Hornets in their final preseason game 127-99, showing yet again the immense potential of the roster Brad Stevens put together this offseason.
Here are the takeaways.
1. So what have we learned from the preseason?
With all the myriad caveats that “it’s just preseason” and “the opposition has barely been NBA-caliber” and “did we mention it’s preseason?”, the Celtics look incredible with their new acquisitions.
Kristaps Porzingis looks great on the best roster he has gotten a chance to play for thus far. While his 3-point shooting has been the big storyline of his preseason, he scored 14 points in 23 minutes on Thursday, and just one of his field goals came from behind the arc.
