Celtics season tips off tonight with Horford as 6th man

The Celtics will tip off their season tonight in New York at 7pm with Al Horford coming off the bench. Both the Knicks and the Celtics are at full strength according to injury reports.

Jayson Tatum on Al Horford being willing to come off the bench this season: “That's the ultimate sacrifice. Everybody knows how much I love and respect Al. A lot of guys say that they'll do anything to help the team win, but Al is the epitome of that.”

Joe Mazzulla said the Celtics didn't have an identity last season, but do now: "Humility. Mindset. Toughness. Passion. Togetherness. Just be nasty."
