  "account": "The prospect of veteran point guard Derrick White reviving his offensive performance looms as the most significant question for the Boston Celtics in the 2026-27 season. This assertion comes from Jack Simone and Sam LaFrance, hosts of the How Bout Them Celtics! podcast, who explored the reasons behind White's off-season slump on their recent episode. According to the duo, the issue could stem from White's attempt to assume a role he is not accustomed to, or perhaps his altered form led him to let poor results affect his mental state. Listen to the full discussion in the embedded clip below to learn more about their thoughts on the potential cause of White's slump last season and their perspective on whether he can overcome it this fall. For those interested, the podcast is available on Blue Wire, iTunes, and YouTube.",
