The Boston Celtics have established a clear, dominant identity already in preseason play. Or at least that is the point of view of the folks behind the "NBC Sports Boston" YouTube channel's "Celtics Talk" podcast, who recently put together a clip that took some time on a recent episode of their show to talk over what they have seen from the Celtics in the trio of exhibition tilts they have played in their slate of 2026-27 preseason games. Host Chris Forsberg breaks down Boston's three wins vs. the Cleveland Cavaliers, Philadelphia 76ers , and most recently, the Charlotte Hornets, dialing in on the defensive and rebounding ends of the court and how good this ball club could turn out to be once the 2026-27 NBA regular season starts. Take a look at the clip embedded below to hear what they had to say about what Boston's preseason play may tell us about the campaign ahead.

Barcelona star has already equalled his goal tally for all of last season A member of the defensive ranks at La Liga giants Barcelona has on Tuesday equalled his goal tally for the entirety of the 2025/26 campaign. This comes after João Cancelo continued his stellar recent stretch of individual form in the final third. Hansi Flick’s Barca are of course currently locked in action, on the continent. After kicking their campaign back into gear with a comfortable victory over Getafe in La Liga at the weekend, the Blaugrana have made the trip to Istanbul, for a Champions League showdown with Galatasaray. The two sides are currently deadlocked at a goal apiece, after Aleksey Batrakov’s opener was cancelled out by the aforementioned João Cancelo. After finding space in behind the hosts’ backline late in the first-half, full-back Cancelo directed a composed finish inside the far post. And as alluded to above, in the process, the former Manchester City man produced a remarkable statistic. As re...
