We've been talking a lot about the team but this week we're taking a deep dive into each position, starting with the point guards. Yes, Isaiah Thomas is THE main guy for the Celtics, but that doesn't mean the PG situation is set.

And does this all mean that Terry Rozier is up for some big minutes as the primary backup ballhandler? Enjoy the show! #RaininJs #Celtics
