Eddie House: It’s gonna be difficult for this league to handle this team

The Boston Celtics have set high expectations for the 2023-24 NBA season, finishing their preseason with a 4-1 record. Their most recent win, a 127-99 rout against the Charlotte Hornets, showcased their offensive and defensive prowess, breaking their regular-season franchise record with 22 steals.

New Additions Shine

The Celtics have added Kristaps Porzingis and Jrue Holiday to an already strong lineup featuring Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown. The new additions have seamlessly integrated into the team, living up to the hype and contributing significantly in both offense and defense.

Eddie House’s Take

Former Celtics guard Eddie House commented on the team’s performance, stating, “I didn’t learn anything that I didn’t already know. What I did learn is that other teams are gonna have an issue trying to figure out what they’re gonna do against us defensively and how they’re gonna attack us offensively.”

Versatility and Teamwork

House also noted the team’s versatility, mentioning how Tatum and Brown have shown their scoring abilities in various ways. He emphasized that the team’s success would hinge on their ability to play for each other, stating, “It’s gonna be difficult for this league to handle this team.”

Season Opener

The Celtics will open their regular season against the New York Knicks next Wednesday at 7 p.m. ET at Madison Square Garden, where they will have the chance to translate their preseason dominance into regular-season success.
