It?s a roller coaster ride for the Boston Celtics, indeed. With a whopping victory over the Philadelphia 76ers in preseason last week, the Celtics are trailing the newly emerged Knicks. Although it’s preseason, the hype of the victory as if it were the regular season is creating a frenzy.

Madison Square Garden was all dolled up for the first opener between the Celtics and Knicks. However, it was an unusual decision for Joe Mazulla to sit out among the top six stars of the franchise. The reason for this impeccable move is somewhat figurative.

The Celtics are facing back-to-back strange preseason scheduling, so some rest is necessary for the star players.

Fans Criticize the Jayson Tatum-Less Celtics

Even without the star 6, Jayson Tatum-less Celtics thrived to at least stay alive. The ex-Knick Svi Mykhailiuk played well in his first preseason debut against the former team. He ended the night with 15 points on 5/9 shooting, and the mind-blowing back slam in the fourth quarter was a must-watch.

The New York Nicks, however, prevailed in a battle of backups this Monday night with a 114-107 final. Even after Nick won, the news headlines were snatched by the previous wife of Nick?s ex-player. Twitter got all starry with the recent video of Laker?s owner, Jeanie Buss. She was dancing to the beats in Dolam?s sphere with her new husband, ?Jay Mohr?.

Once the video was posted by NBA, New York, it definitely received an immense response from the fans. And there were absurd reactions as well. One fan took no time in blaming the recently underperforming franchise of the Los Angeles Lakers because the owner is enjoying herself.

?One even thought that it was Britney Spears in the clip. Alas, the NBA still has a long wait for this collaboration.

?Some admired her beauty and her moves, while others took digs at her ex-husband.

Phil Jackson was dragged into the narrative. After all, the Knicks recently won, and Jeanie?s ex-husband was a former head coach of the New York Knicks.

?No one could question the authority of Phil Jackson as head coach of basketball or any other sport as well. The former coach of the Chicago Bulls and tonight?s other winner, the Los Angeles Lakers, took the Knicks to greater heights.

?Well, it seems like the rocky ride of those three years under Jackson made the Knicks win this preseason game. However, the win should also take into account that Jaylen Brown, Kristaps Porzingis, Jayson Tatum, Jrue Holiday, and Al Horford sat this game out.

?A spectacular play by Immanuel Quickley with 21 points, scoring 14 in the third quarter led the team to form a permanent lead. The unofficial debut player for the night, Donte DiVincenzo, also made fair pay with 8 points off the bench.
