Completed Q&A: Simone on Celtics/NBA, 6:30 p.m. Tuesday 03.24.2026

There are only a few weeks left until the playoffs. The Boston Celtics are 6-3 since Jayson Tatumhas returned, though he's still clearly getting used to NBA game speed.

A couple of quick housekeeping notes before the Q&A:

- I assume a lot of the questions will be negatively slanted because of the loss on Sunday night, so I'll preface my responses with this: I don't think that loss defines the Celtics’ season. Are there potential concerns to be pulled from the game against the Minnesota Timberwolves? Absolutely. But Boston is a much better team than it showed on Sunday.

- I'm more than happy to have a back-and-forth in the comment section. We don't ever have to agree on something. That's the nature of life. Just please try to be respectful. That's all I ask.

So, all that being said:

It's question time. Click the bubble, leave your question in the comments, and I'll make sure to respond. A couple of things:

- Double-check previous comments to make sure you don't ask the same question.

- I will change the title to 'Completed Q&A' once the time is over (about one hour after I begin, so roughly 7:30 p.m.). Until then, feel free to ask away.

- Ask as many questions as you'd like, just make sure to do so in separate comments, so I can answer them all individually.

BONUS: I'm still relatively new here at BSJ, so I'll take any personal questions you may have. But also, let me know what you've thought of my coverage so far! At the end of the day, my goal is to provide all of you the best possible Celtics coverage. So, let me know what else you want to see, what you've enjoyed so far, and what could improve moving forward.

Alright, fire away!
