Fiddlin' and Diddlin' - Celtics Daily Links 10/27/26
The Celtics deliver a 134-99 thrashing of the Chicago Bulls, sparked by Payton Pritchard’s 28‑point third‑quarter surge. While the win highlights Boston’s offensive firepower, the post‑game buzz centers on Jaylen Brown’s alleged trade demand—denied 10,000% by his camp and later walked back by broadcaster Brian Scalabrine. Coach Joe Mazzulla notes the health report ahead of a matchup with the Nets, and Jayson Tatum continues his strong stretch. The article compiles takeaways, player interviews, and the lingering Brown‑Tatum tension, giving fans a full picture of the blowout and off‑court drama.
Comments from the Other Side - Bulls 10/26/26
A Celtics fan vents ahead of the Oct. 27 matchup against the Chicago Bulls, predicting a painful, possibly "ugly" game and hoping to stay within a 15‑point loss. The post highlights concerns about the Celtics' poor rebounding (second‑last in the league) and third‑quarter shooting, while criticizing Norman Powell, Tiago, and the bench. It praises Jalen Brunson’s effort, notes rookie Essengue’s availability, and warns that Tatum and George face foul trouble. The writer hopes the Bulls’ defensive hustle can offset Boston’s 30th‑ranked 3‑point defense and turn the game into a trap for the Celtics.

Such a fun game. Celtics bench is going to be strong this season. I think the funniest thing was them loving Jaylen's push off that they spent every game complaining about last season.
