Newly-acquired Celtics Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis took the parquet under the lights at TD Garden for the first time as Boston trotted out all of their fresh faces.<\/p>\n<p id=\"O2iTpP\">Even with all of the palpable excitement around their star-studded cast, Boston\u2019s blockbuster moves left some roles to fill, especially for the team\u2019s sixth man following the trade of Malcolm Brogdon. In Boston\u2019s first game of preseason action, it seems the team found its true solution to Brogdon\u2019s absence: Payton Pritchard.<\/p>\n<div id=\"Qqpcfv\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-dnt=\"true\" align=\"center\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">&#8220;It&#8217;s only going to make me work harder&#8221;<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/tvabby?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@tvabby<\/a> caught up with Payton Pritchard to discuss his extension and big night vs. Philly <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/dX5AyErNvf\">pic.twitter.com\/dX5AyErNvf<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Celtics on NBC Sports Boston (@NBCSCeltics) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NBCSCeltics\/status\/1711182626113875984?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 9, 2023<\/a>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"eompxO\">Last season, after the team initially acquired Brogdon from the Indiana Pacers, any semblance of a role all-but-evaporated overnight for the former Oregon Duck. Add in the deadline acquisition Derrick White, and the path to steady minutes and a consistent role became unclear. Boston\u2019s backcourt of Marcus Smart, White and Brogdon was a three-headed monster for other teams to handle, but it also left Pritchard on the outside looking in.<\/p>\n<p id=\"511hdh\">It wasn\u2019t long before Pritchard\u2019s understandable frustration bubbled to the surface, especially after being a big contributor during the team\u2019s Finals run. Multiple reports about the guard <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcsports.com\/nba\/news\/celtics-payton-pritchard-reportedly-wants-a-trade-this-summer\">seeking a trade came ou<\/a>t, including interview pieces where Pritchard voiced his desire to play a bigger role on a team. This season, it seems that\u2019s exactly what the sharpshooter will get in Boston, and following a four year, $30 million extension, Pritchard\u2019s mentality and confidence are striking a different chord.<\/p>\n<div id=\"9hwDv3\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-dnt=\"true\" align=\"center\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">26 PTS<br \/>9\/14 FG<br \/>6\/11 3-PT<\/p>\n<p>Payton Pritchard had himself a night <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/SLyXDmaitR\">pic.twitter.com\/SLyXDmaitR<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Celtics on NBC Sports Boston (@NBCSCeltics) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NBCSCeltics\/status\/1711180866855092490?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 9, 2023<\/a>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"6UPdxX\">\u201cReally just the love of the game,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/ByJayKing\/status\/1711196237783818592?s=20\">said Pritchard on what kept him going<\/a>, \u201cObviously I had good people in my corner that kept my head on right but other than that, I just love to play basketball. That\u2019s why I showed up every day to keep getting better and better and better. Because this is what I want to do. I don\u2019t want to do anything else. So I won\u2019t let it ever break me because I\u2019m trying to play as long as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"T6yVCj\">On Sunday, Payton Pritchard led all scorers with 26 points in addition to two rebounds and four assists over 23 minutes. The frenetic energy he brought to the Celtics second unit was contagious as he flew around the court, pushing the pace and fearlessly firing from deep. On 9-of-14 shooting and 6-of-11 from beyond the arc, Pritchard torched the Sixers, including 16 in the fourth quarter. His efforts reminded fans why the Celtics front office was so reluctant to move on from him, and even why the team gave him a sizable extension after all of last season\u2019s trade chatter.<\/p>\n<div id=\"1SzmJa\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-dnt=\"true\" align=\"center\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Payton Pritchard on agreeing to four-year extension with Celtics: &#8220;When I signed it, it was a relief.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Brian Robb (@BrianTRobb) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BrianTRobb\/status\/1711189060700565916?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 9, 2023<\/a>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"wiUomI\">\u201cFeels really good,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/JackSimoneNBA\/status\/1711188948377088003?s=20\">said Pritchard<\/a>, \u201cJust to be secure, lock it in, and be a part of a great organization, a great city. Obviously, I think this is the best basketball organization and city in the NBA. Feels good.\u201d Beyond inking the extension, Pritchard is poised to get the one thing he wanted in Boston: a contributing role on a winning team.<\/p>\n<p id=\"yKebRx\">It was good business to get the extension out of the way for the Celtics and Pritchard, and gave both sides some sense of insurance and security following last year\u2019s discontent. With Malcolm Brogdon and Marcus Smart no longer with the team, that new deal signaled a vote of confidence, and one that could pay dividends.<\/p>\n<p id=\"TRusFv\">Boston will have a quick turnaround and another preseason matchup tonight on the road tonight against the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.postingandtoasting.com\/\">New York Knicks<\/a>. 7:30PM EST tipoff.<\/p>\n\n<h2><b>Commercials Cooperation Advertisements:<\/b><\/h2>\r\n<p><br>(1) IT Teacher IT Freelance<br> <\/p>\r\n<a href=https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress><img src=http:\/\/gamefootballmobileanimeiphone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/ITTeacherITFreelance-Website.png alt=IT\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2 java\u88dc\u7fd2 \u70ba\u5927\u5bb6\u914d\u5c0d\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2,IT freelance, \u79c1\u4eba\u8001\u5e2b, PHP\u88dc\u7fd2,CSS\u88dc\u7fd2,XML,Java\u88dc\u7fd2,MySQL\u88dc\u7fd2,graphic design\u88dc\u7fd2,\u4e2d\u5c0f\u5b78ICT\u88dc\u7fd2,\u4e00\u5c0d\u4e00\u79c1\u4eba\u88dc\u7fd2\u548cFreelance\u81ea\u7531\u5de5\u4f5c\u914d\u5c0d\u3002\/><\/a><p><a href=https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/findteacher>\u7acb\u523b\u8a3b\u518a\u53ca\u5831\u540d\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2\u8ab2\u7a0b\u5427! <\/a><br>\r\n\r\n\u7535\u5b50\u8ba1\u7b97\u673a -\u6559\u80b2 -IT \u96fb\u8166\u73ed\u201d ( IT\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2 ) \u63d0\u4f9b\u4e00\u500b\u65b9\u4fbf\u7684\u7535\u5b50\u8ba1\u7b97\u673a \u6559\u80b2\u5e73\u53f0, \u70ba\u5927\u5bb6\u914d\u5c0d\u4fe1\u606f\u6280\u672f, \u96fb\u8166 \u8001\u5e2b, IT freelance \u548c programming expert. \u8b93\u5927\u5bb6\u65b9\u4fbf\u5730\u5c31\u80fd\u627e\u5230\u5408\u9069\u7684\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2, \u96fb\u8166\u73ed, \u5bb6\u6559, \u79c1\u4eba\u8001\u5e2b.  <br>\r\n\r\nWe are a education and information platform which you can find a IT private tutorial teacher or freelance. <br>\r\n\r\nAlso we provide different information about information technology, Computer, programming, mobile, Android, apple, game, movie, anime, animation\u2026 \r\n<\/p>\n<p><br>(2) ITSec<br> <\/p><a href=https:\/\/itsec.vip><img src=http:\/\/gamefootballmobileanimeiphone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/ITSec-Main-Promotion-Image.png alt= https:\/\/itsec.vip\/\r\nSecure Your Computers from Cyber Threats and mitigate risks with professional services to defend Hackers.  \r\nITSec provide IT Security and Compliance Services, including IT Compliance Services, Risk Assessment, IT Audit, Security Assessment and Audit, ISO 27001 Consulting and Certification, GDPR Compliance Services, Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA), Penetration test, Ethical Hacking, Vulnerabilities scan, IT Consulting, Data Privacy Consulting, Data Protection Services, Information Security Consulting, Cyber Security Consulting, Network Security Audit, Security Awareness Training.\/><\/a> \r\n<br><br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/itsec.vip>www.ITSec.vip<\/a> <br> <br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/sraa.com.hk>www.Sraa.com.hk<\/a> <br> <br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/itsec.hk>www.ITSec.hk<\/a> <br> <br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/penetrationtest.hk>www.Penetrationtest.hk<\/a> <br> <br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/itseceu.uk>www.ITSeceu.uk<\/a> <br> <br> \r\nSecure Your Computers from Cyber Threats and mitigate risks with professional services to defend Hackers. <br><br>\r\nITSec provide IT Security and Compliance Services, including IT Compliance Services, Risk Assessment, IT Audit, Security Assessment and Audit, ISO 27001 Consulting and Certification, GDPR Compliance Services, Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA), Penetration test, Ethical Hacking, Vulnerabilities scan, IT Consulting, Data Privacy Consulting, Data Protection Services, Information Security Consulting, Cyber Security Consulting, Network Security Audit, Security Awareness Training. \r\n<br><br>Contact us right away. <br><br>Email (Prefer using email to contact us): <br>SalesExecutive@ITSec.vip<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n<p>        Eric Canha-USA TODAY Sports<\/p>\n<p>  After being relegated to cleanup duty last season, Payton Pritchard is poised for a larger contributing role.
