After 12 games, the Boston Celtics sit at the top of the Eastern Conference with a 10-2 record. Joe Mazzulla's team has just navigated a four-game road trip, winning every matchup, including a tough back-to-back against the Philadelphia 76ers and the Toronto Raptors. Jayson Tatum has begun to find his rhythm when shooting from deep after a tough start to the campaign.

Of course, we're still early in the new NBA season, and the Celtics will face some tough challenges in the weeks and months ahead. Nevertheless, there's no denying how quickly the Celtics have hit the ground running following a summer that saw the departure of Jaylen Brown.

Following the Celtics impressive come-from-behind win over the Raptors on Wednesday, August 11, Jack Simone

and Sam LaFrance discussed Boston's strong road trip in the latest episode of their 'How 'Bout Them Celtics?' podcast. The duo shared their thoughts on Tatum's game-changing performance in Toronto, along with Derrick White showing signs of a bounce-back season after struggling in the 2025-26 campaign.
