Celtics @ Rockets / Nov 2 / 2026-27 Season

The Celtics drop a tough one to the Rockets, 109-93, on the second night of a road back-to-back. No Paul George in this one, and nobody on the Celtics stepped up to help Jayson Tatum on offense. Despite a woeful shooting night and a horrid scheduling break, Boston battled hard against one of the best teams in the league and gave themselves a chance to steal one. Alas, it wasn't meant to be. Chud and Doug break it all down, bemoan the schedule, offer concerns for Mitch Robinson and Payton Pritchard, take a trip around the NBA, and much more!
