It’s about us,” Jaylen Brown told reporters after the game. “So every time we step out on the floor, it don’t really matter who the opponent is.” The post Celtics continue to impress against (very) shorthanded 76ers in preseason blowout: 10 takeaways appeared first on Boston.

The Boston Celtics played their first home preseason game of the year Saturday night, securing a monster 139-89 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers. Philadelphia played the night before in Iowa, an exhibition in the home state of Sixers head coach Nick Nurse.

The Philadelphia 76ers paid a visit to the defending champion Boston Celtics on Saturday night to continue the preseason schedule looking to see what they have in other pieces. It was the second night of a back-to-back following a contest in Iowa on Friday and the Sixers rightfully decided to rest their main pieces.

Boston’s standouts built a big lead against the Sixers’ young reserves, which they rode to 50-point victory Saturday night at TD Garden.

The Sixers sat almost all their regulars and got crushed by a nearly full strength Celtics team in Boston Saturday night.
