What I'm watching for as the Celtics take on the Nets tonight, including guarding Julius Randle and why I think Paul George and Mitchell Robinson are active www.si.com/nba/celtics/...

New Locked On Celtics after a big night at TD Garden! Jayson Tatum dominates (and that pick-and-roll w/Robinson is gonna be good), Payton Pritchard goes wild, and the Celtics torch the Bulls. Plus: breaking down more Jaylen Brown chatter. Watch & Listen: https://linktr.ee/lockedonceltics

Interesting injury report on the back-to-back with only Devin Carter (out-illness) and Derrick White (Probable, Right Hip Synovitis) listed. Seems like Paul George and Mitchell Robinson are available. Let's see how that plays out tonight.

Chris Cenac Jr. making his official debut and he immediately cans a 3

19 point third quarter for Pritchard. He was 5-5 from 3 and 2-3 from 2. He also had 2 assists. Celtics shot 8-13 from 3 to put up this 30 point lead. Jayson Tatum is coming back out to start the fourth. Mike Conley is also out there making his official Celtics debut

Pritchard is raining hellfire from 3 ... 25-7 Boston run and the lead has gone from 10 to 28 in a hurry

Our long national nightmare is over

19/6/5 for Tatum at halftime. If this game stays close enough, Tatum could end up with a monster night

Bulls went on a 15-2 run to cut it to 3, but Boston has answered with a 8-1 run to get it back up to 10. Biggest lead was 16

Celtics up 12 after a great Tatum drive and finish. Five assists already for Tatum and 7 quick points off the bench for Gonzalez. Bulls are 7-24 from the field, 4-17 from 3

If this is true, then this represents a drastic change in how the story should be perceived. It would also mean that jaylen's behavior was deeply unhinged. It's going to be an interesting night at TD Garden

Just saw the Jalen Williams injury... just heartbreaking for him. I know there are the obvious comparisons to Gordon Hayward, but Hayward also needed a second surgery to fix a complication, so I hope Williams can avoid that and come back as the same player next season.

Interesting, could mean something, but could mean nothing stat: DWhite has 0 blocks thru 2 preseason & 2 reg season games. He did have a 5-game stretch last yr w/no blocks so could be nothing. But I said this could be a bigger steals season vs blocks w/2 big rim protectors, so ould be something

One thing that has stood out so far this preseason/regular season is all the different ways the Celtics are disguising their Spain pick-and-roll action. Watch Scheierman on this play setting 3 screens to ultimately spring Tatum for the dunk.

Neither Jayson Tatum nor Jaylen Brown is in the right as their mess hits peak stupidity. Enough is enough, and both need to act like grown men before it gets worse. My column: www.si.com/nba/celtics/...

Jayson Tatum Dominates, Celtics Beat Knicks: Six Things That Went Right For Boston www.si.com/nba/celtics/...

Jayson Tatum is making it clear there is no animosity with Jaylen Brown "this ain't no fucking Shaq & Kobe. There's no beef"

Jayson Tatum was huge, Paul George was disruptive, and the centers were good ... Including a low key clutch 3:30 from Luka Garza early in the game. Here's instant reaction from TD Garden

Jayson Tatum with three huge buckets to keep Boston in front

resuming play with it 101-98

Some confusion in the arena as the Knicks went from 98 ... to 99 ... back to 98 points here. Long discussion at the scorer's table, but right now it's 101-98 Celtics with 1:11 to play

Tatum with the first Celtics bucket in nearly five minutes

Mazzulla going with Tatum at the 6:53 mark here ... a couple minutes earlier than expected to try to finish the Knicks off here. Robinson back in the game too. He has five fouls

Hey Paul George had Ray Allen wide open in the corner

Derrick White was arguing that the KAT play shouldn't have been an and-1 because KAT landed before shooting, which would be a travel. He's right, but they missed it. It might not matter, but still good catch by DWhite

13-4 Celtics run to close the third. Really important first few minutes to the 4th with Tatum sitting to either make this a game or get a little bit a breathing room

Neemias Queta corner 3... just a spot up 3 at a very important time

Celtics win the challenge, getting the proximate foul on Andre Drummond. Two FTs for Tatum

Unsuccessful challenge. Queta gets 2 FTs

Mitchell Robinson's roll gave DWhite ALL day to shoot that 3

Paul Pierce and Ray Allen at the game

Missed layup turns into three points for the Knicks

Luka Garza doing what he does ... offensive rebounds and 3 pointers

Fourth team foul already for Boston. Free throws the rest of the quarter for the Knicks... more than 8 minutes to go

better start to the game for Robinson except for the two quick fouls. Now he has to sit

Jayson Tatum addresses the crowd before the home opener
