Celtics’ New Addition Speaks Out on Team Experience!

Xavier Tillman’s transfer from the Memphis Grizzlies to the Boston Celtics during the NBA trade deadline shifted him from a team outside the playoff race to one considered a top contender for the championship.

During a recent appearance on Gil’s Arena, Tillman discussed the notable contrasts between his experiences with both teams. While he retains a deep affection for Memphis, his former NBA home, Tillman is relishing the opportunity to be part of a championship-caliber squad in Boston. In his conversation with Gilbert Arenas, Tillman emphasized the light-hearted atmosphere in Boston, which seamlessly transitions to focused determination when it’s time to perform on the court.

Tillman also remarked on the stark contrast of being on a team with a minimal number of losses. The Celtics have only suffered defeat in 12 games throughout the season, a significant departure from Memphis’s performance this year.

It’s worth acknowledging Tillman’s history with successful teams, as the Grizzlies’ performance this season is an anomaly. With fewer injuries to key players like Ja Morant, Memphis would likely have been in contention for the playoffs, as they were in previous seasons.

While Tillman cherishes his time in Memphis, he is thoroughly enjoying his new chapter in Boston.
