What did we learn about the Boston Celtics and the NBA in the first week of the 2026-27 regular season? The Celtics, it seems, are indeed a very good if flawed ball club, and look like a squad that should hover near the top of the Eastern Conference standings over the course of this season. We also learned there may actually be something to the Jayson Tatum - Jaylen Brown beef narrative (and that everyone has an opinion about it).
We learned that injuries are already out of control before we even whiff the month of November, and that several teams projected to be contenders or at least good may not be as such – and that several teams seen as likely to be bad are defying those expectations.
The hosts of "Havlicek Stole the Pod" linked up Nets Wire
editor Sharif Phillips-Keaton to talk it all over. Take a look at the clip embedded below to hear what they had to say about the season to date.
