  "account": "Setting expectations for each player on the Boston Celtics' roster for the 2026-27 season is an annual ritual that often leads to inflated expectations for some and unrealistic benchmarks for many others. As league analysts, it's our duty to project the season ahead with a realistic perspective, striving to find the truth that usually lies somewhere between the high ceilings and low floors typically set for the players. On a recent episode of their show, \"Havlicek Stole the Pod,\" hosts discussed their expectations for each Celtics player, with Celtics Chronicle founder Adam Taylor joining the conversation during their latest episode. As the NBA calendar enters the late summer doldrums, be sure to tune in and listen to \"Havlicek Stole the Pod\" on various platforms: Blue Wire, iTunes, and YouTube. This article originally appeared on Celtics Wire, detailing expectations for each player in the Boston Celtics' 2026-27 regular and two-way roster.",
