The CelticsBlog author argues that it’s too early to judge Boston’s 2026‑27 campaign after just a few games. Despite a rocky opening loss, the Celtics, now featuring Paul George and dealing with Mitchell Robinson’s adjustment, remain title contenders. Coach Joe Mazzulla is still tweaking lineups, and while Jayson Tatum shines and the team’s 3‑point shooting stays strong, consistency among the young wings is uncertain.

The win marked the Suns’ third of the year and showcased newfound mental toughness.
