And Ones: Celtics philosophy, three-guard lineups, and Olynyk's blazing hot pre-game ritual
A few quick pre-lunch Celtics Twitter hits to get this Halloween moving in the right direction:
Play Like A Champion Today
Posted in the Celtics locker room are bit-sized pieces of the philosophy Brad Stevens is putting in place for the Celtics. Teamwork, effort, and stick to the way "WE" do things - pretty good things to remember while you're in the middle of rebuilding a franchise.

Getting Creative with the Lineup
Without a clearcut rim protector and more backcourt members than they know what to do with, the Celtics have completely embraced positionless basketball as a philosophy. Danny Ainge sees the potential in being somewhat unconventional.
Ainge on three-guard lineup: "I think that we can use that often, meaning that we can use it every game in certain spurts if we want."

Blow Out
During the rebuilding period, giant margin victories are few and far between. It might be a little while before the next one with a tough November right on the horizon.
"I think that's the 1st time we've had a 20-point lead in over a year. I think our guys don't know what it is. Hopefully, they'll find out."

Pre-Game Rituals
Congratulations to Kelly Olynyk on getting the start during the home opener. If it means we're getting this handshake on screen more often, then I am all for it.
