  "account": "Baylor Scheierman and Payton Pritchard, former backcourt mates of Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown, expressed their thoughts on the upcoming preseason game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Despite Brown being dealt to the Sixers, Pritchard downplayed the significance of his participation, stating, \"It's preseason, so I don't care, really.\" He acknowledged the Sixers' potential for a strong season, emphasizing the challenge that would present for the Celtics.\n\nScheierman shared a similar perspective, praising the team's acquisitions in the offseason and expressing excitement about competing against them. He remained focused on the present game, not allowing the preseason context to detract from the competitive nature of the matchup. While Pritchard's comments may indicate a lighthearted attitude, it is unlikely that his competitive spirit would wane, regardless of the event's classification.",
  "summary": "\"They've got a lot of talent, they're going to be a really, really good team,\" said Pritchard.",
