BSJ Daily Briefing 09.18.20: Celtics collapse again; Needed Patriots tweaks; Bruins in on Ekman-Larsson?

Good afternoon!

Your daily rundown of what's going on with the Patriots, Red Sox, Celtics, Bruins and Revolution, and what's about to happen, for BSJ members only...

• The Celtics watched the hungrier Heat take Game 2 away from them, and now they face an 0-2 hole.


• The lack of fight was the most disappointing thing, B-Robb says.


• Marcus Smart needs to look in the mirror if he's going to call everyone out.


• I think I've said this before, but I don't have much time to watch entire NBA games (especially during football season), so I usually just tune in for the fourth quarter. If you were me, and all I've seen is a lot of fourth quarters, you'd think Jayson Tatum can't close, Kemba Walker loses his legs, and the Celtics have no idea how to play team basketball. Brad Stevens has to figure out how to keep them together as a unit in the fourth.


• I don't care how many points Gordon Hayward scores when he gets back — the Celtics need his unselfishness and passing down the stretch. That's the most important thing.


• If the Patriots don't give Cam Newton more controls, they're going to have a tough time against defenses like the Seahawks.


• Patriots-Seahawks preview pod


• Bruins looking at a big-ticket defenseman?


• Red Sox welcome the Yankees tonight, but they need to address Rafael Devers' contract.
