How is Jayson Tatum 6th in MVP voting? + Otter Porter Jr?
On this episode, the 3 Man Weave reunites to discuss the latest MVP straw poll results that saw Jayson Tatum 6th in voting despite being the best player on the best team. Then, they laugh about Stephen A. Smith's love for voluptuous women, and then discuss Howard Beck's article that suggest Jaylen Brown is not long for Boston.
Also, The Boston Celtics have an open roster spot. They will likely look to add a veteran before the March 1 deadline. Otto Porter Jr could be a logical fit at the wing position. He would provide shooting and championship know-how. However, his injury history is a major problem. Should the Celtics take a punt or stand pat?

A season on the brink
The Celtics lost against the Sixers for the third time in their second-round series. Leaving the Celtics needing two straight wins to progress to the conference finals.

We try and make sense out of all of this on today's episode.

Celtics PRIDE: More Durant Rumors, Bill Russell's Best Stat, Vonleh, Caboclo & Preseason Schedule
After an offseason hiatus the Celtics PRIDE team is back to discuss all of the offseason items that mean far less than they seem. After trying to avoid the Durant rumors as much as possible, Adam, Josh and Mike review the recent scuttlebut and give their thoughts on Durant, the risks involved in bringing him to any organization and the potential packages the Celtics could ship out. Then they switch gears from a player who puts himself first to a guy who had a “team ego.” Josh compiled some of the most impressive statistics about Bill Russell and plays a game to identify which one is most impressive. Is it his blocked shots, minutes per game, number of rings, his record in must win games or MVPs?
The Podcast content turns to training camp contracts for Noah Vonleh and Bruno Caboclo and the Celtics’ attempts to find a big man who can be a legitimate backup to Al Horford and Rob Williams. Coach Josh has some inside scouting knowledge on Vonleh going back to Vonleh’s High School playing days

Celtics PRIDE: The Dog Days Of Summer
Celtics PRIDE: The Dog Days of Summer
The “dog days” of summer are here, and when there isn’t huge news in CelticsLand, the Celtics Pride Team likes to get in touch with their creative side and bring topics of their own.
First up on this episode of the Celtics Pride Podcast, Josh and Adam reveal Danny Ainge and Brad Stevens’ Red Sox Player Comparison. If you thought NBA player comparisons of draft prospects was difficult, try crossing over sports to find who the Celtics’ GMs would play like. Adam continues the analogy by comparing Danny Ainge to someone who flips houses, after looking at the Rudy Gobert trade in Ainge’s new position with the Utah Jazz - and the Kevin Garnett trade before it that brought Boston Banner 17. Adam then continues with speculation about which team Ainge is likely to trade Donovan Mitchell to, and how Ainge’s relationship with Miami Heat executive Pat Riley impacts the Heat’s chances of landing Donovan.
Coach Josh then makes the case that Malcolm Brogdon is

Celtics PRIDE: Brogdon Trade, Brad vs Danny, Bigs to Target, and Summer League!
Mike and Adam hop on the pod to share their thoughts on the Celtics’ trade for Malcolm Brogdon and why they’re both excited about his fit on the roster. They then segue to look at how this solid, needle-moving (but not earth-shaking) trade is emblematic of Brad Stevens’ approach as President of Basketball Operations, how it contrasts to old boss Danny Ainge (up to his old tricks again with the Utah Jazz!), and their read on whether and how that might benefit the current coaches and players. Brad did always preach to ‘hit singles,’ while Danny tended to swing for the fences.
The guys then turn their attention to the rest of the roster, briefly discussing the Danilo Gallinari signing before focusing on the (few) remaining roster needs. They look at the lackluster bigs market, with Mike questioning Adam’s psychological soundness as Adam tries to make the case for bringing in DeMarcus Cousins… then Mike tries to rationalize leveraging one of the team’s TPEs to acquire a big via trade, while Ada

They first review the impact of the Celtics losing Lead Assistant Coach Will Hardy who Danny Ainge poached to be the new Head Coach of the Utah Jazz. Josh speaks from his experience on a coaching bench about the pros and cons of hiring a veteran head coach as a replacement and how easy it is to promote from within. Then guys discuss the drafting of JD Davidson and spend far too long discussing summer league before getting to the meat of the offseason options. Adam provides an overview of the options at the Celtics disposal to bring in free agents and trade for players without giving up current rotation players. He also gives an overview of the type of player fans can expect the Celtics to desire and which ones they likely won’t. They then use recent Celticsblog.com articles by Keith Smith on TPE candidates and Mid-Level Exception candidates to discuss specific candidates.

Celtics PRIDE: Final Thoughts on the Season, Top 5 What Ifs, and Off-Season Musings
With the 2021-2022 season officially over, Josh and Mike try to regroup after the emotional rollercoaster of a year that *almost* led to Banner 18. Instead, Josh, Mike, and Celtics fans, players, coaches, and staff are collectively exhausted and ready to regroup.
Josh and Mike give their quick reactions about the C’s run to the Finals, whether the better team won, and whether the season should be considered a success (short answer: obviously, yes!). They credit the great defense and unique talents of the Warriors, and salute the Celtics for making it as far as they did – well beyond any preseason expectations.
Then, the guys look at a number of big “What Ifs” about the season, pondering what might have been if things had fallen just a bit differently. To name just a few of the questions they grappled with: What If the Celtics Had Closed Out the Earlier Rounds More Quickly? What if TimeLord Was Fully Healthy? What if Kris Middleton was Fully Healthy!?

This is a raw and uncut episode of Celtics Pride Podcast, immediately following Game 5 versus the Warriors in Golden State, the guys let their emotions out on all the topics of the hour. From the Celtics’ slow start in the first quarter - shooting a brisk 4-17 from the field (23%) in the first 10 minutes of the game, and under 50% from the FT line - to the referees. Oh, the refs!
Adam and Josh then philosophize over the Celtics' ups and downs, questioning their maturity as a team and then being spit on whether winning games with their backs against the wall will work in the Finals as it has in the past two playoff series.
Adam believes, “It’s not going to work in this series.”
Mike dusts off his “Tatum Is Young For The Moment” theory, which is worth hearing again, and the gang helps to sprinkle some silver linings on the depressive mood post the Celtics’ 2nd loss in a row for the first time since March. Then if that wasn’t enough t

The C’s are shipping up to Boston tied 1-1 with the Golden State Warriors, an ideal start to the NBA Finals… right? Mike, Josh and Adam discuss the first two games of this Finals series, taking stock of how they’re feeling after the C’s stole Game One before getting blown out in Game 2. Is the sky falling? Is everything puppies, sunshine, and lollipops? Are they somewhere in between?
The Pride crew evaluates how the C’s played in each of Games 1 and 2, and look for encouraging – and troubling signs, as they note the two different versions of the C’s continuing to show up. One version moves the ball quickly and efficiently, leading to open shots and allowing their league best defense to consistently get set. The other version quickly and efficiently turns the ball over, allow the other team to get fast breaks and momentum – and to set their own elite defense.
Then, Mike breaks his own code to not discuss the refs by lamenting the absurdity of some of the calls that favored Golden State –

How important is rest going into this series? How big of a deal is the Celtics’ proclivity to play more focused, with greater sense of urgency and aggression after losses as they move on to the Finals? What should fans be watching for with the Warriors on both offense and defense? How should the Celtics combat Steph Curry and Klay Thompson’s movement on offense? What about Golden State on defense?

Celtics PRIDE: Game 4 Instant Reaction, Ep 100
The Celtics PRIDE Podcast is celebrating episode 100 with an instant reaction to the Celtics Game 4 win over the Miami Heat. It's a solo episode for Josh Motenko as he recounts how the Celtics won game 4, and attempts to give some big picture perspective on the series with the Miami Heat as a whole.
The Heat were 0-14 from the field to start the game due to the Celtics defensive intensity and the basketball gods putting a lid on the rim the Heat players were shooting at. Meanwhile Derrick White had the first half the Celtics needed from their point guard with Marcus Smart out of the lineup, as White scored the Celtics first 7 points of the game all by himself. He added 3 steals, and sold some important foul calls against the Heat that lead to Boston shooting an astounding 26 free throws in the half (including 14 from Jayson Tatum alone).
In this short episode, Coach Josh breaks down what went well for the C's, and how Jaylen Brown and Tatum responded after their less-than-desirable performances in Game 3

Recorded immediately after game 7, Adam, Mike and Josh discuss the huge win Sunday over Milwaukee, the entire series against the Bucks and look ahead to the series against Miami. They start by discussing the historical context of this game 7 win for a very successful Celtics franchise. Grant Williams played the game of his life so far, hitting the shots the Buck’s defense gave him and a Celtics team that doesn’t always hit from deep. They also talk about Tatum’s play in this game, Payton Pritchard doing “what I do” and barely touch on the refs for fear of getting called for a foul. Then they look at the whole Milwaukee series, looking at the impact of three point shooting for both teams, giving their opinion on the factors that led to the Celtics pulling things out despite going down 3-2 after a tough game 5 loss.

Celtics PRIDE: Instant Reaction to Game 4 (AKA - The Al Horford Game)
Josh and Mike provide their instant – shocked – reaction to the Celtics thrilling come from behind victory against Milwaukee in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals, a performance that literally (and only briefly) left Josh speechless. Once they finally collected themselves, Josh and Mike took turns celebrating the unequivocal greatness of Al Horford’s 30pt, 8 reb, 3 ast masterpiece. They talked about how Al bounced back from getting dunked on by Giannis to return the favor, Mike revisited the reasons he is only partially surprised, and Josh graciously took the L for suggesting that Horford was washed when we initially acquired him from OKC. Just a truly amazing performance by Horford.
Mike and Josh then turned their attention to Tatum, noting his improvement and changes from not just Game 3, but also from the first half to the second half of Game 4. With 30 points himself (along with 13 rebs and 5 asts) Tatum significantly impacted the game, and really helped the C’s pull away down the stretch

After a difficult game 1 in the series, Mike and Josh give their analysis on what went wrong and how to regroup. They compare the Bucks stifling defense to our own, and the Bucks overall play to the Brooklyn Nets. MIke shares why he believes Kevin Durant was looking at Jayson Tatum the way Tatum must be looking at Giannis right now. Then Josh doubles down on the Bucks defensive acumen by explaining how they made it difficult for the Celtics to simply get the ball over half court.
The Pride Guys continue to undress the mess of the past few days since game 1 by going through each narrative, theory and take they’ve heard from national and local media in a round of their new game, “How Much Weight” where they ask “how much weight does that theory hold?” They address the injuries, the turnovers, the lack of shooting, and

Celtics PRIDE: Break out the Shamrock-Studded Brooms
Adam and Mike provide instant reaction to the Celtics’ exciting and gratifying sweep of the Brooklyn Nets on Monday evening.
They begin by simply relishing in the victory and offer some playful mocking of those (*cough* Adam *cough*) who thought the Celtics should try to avoid the Nets in the playoffs. But then, it’s time to give credit where credit’s due - starting with kudos to Jayson Tatum who ‘leveled up’ and put himself in the conversation as truly one of the absolute best players in the league. In fact, it left Mike and Adam wondering whether there’s ANYBODY in the league they’d pick ahead of JT if they were starting a franchise from scratch. What would your list be?
The guys then spread the love around – from praising Grant Williams’ incredible defense on KD (and excellent shooting), to Marcus Smart’s great playmaking, to Al Horford’s lethal outside shooting. And, Mike states his case for why people need to stop acting surprised by Daniel Theis being pretty good… and expresse

The Celtics PRIDE guys break down the Celtics Game 1 victory over the Brooklyn Nets on the day Marcus Smart is awarded the Defensive Player of the Year. They dissect all the memorable moments of the game, all the turning points and big plays for the Celtics. Player by player the guys analyze the play of each key member of the Celtics. Is Al Horford the perfect “connector” for this team? What is Tatum’s motivation in this series? How did Jayson show his continued mental maturity in his on-court play? What can we expect from Jaylen Brown in this series? Is Grant Williams truly ready for this, and will rise to the occasion? Coach Josh questions the referees in this game, and keys on their involvement as something that could make or break the Celtics’ #1 advantage - their #1 defense.
Then the guys speculate potential adjustments the Nets might make in this series, including personnel decisions and on-court X’s and O’s, before questioning how the Celtics might adjust.

Celtics PRIDE: Revisiting Preseason Predictions and Playoff Prophecy
The regular season is over and the Celtics will be playing either Brooklyn or Cleveland. Who would you rather face? Did the Celtics make a mistake in winning the final game against Memphis? Should they have tried harder to avoid Brooklyn? How afraid are Adam, Mike and Josh of possibly playing Kevin Durant and the rest of the Nets in the first round of the playoffs? The regular season’s end means it’s time for the Celtics Pride guys to revisit what they expected in the beginning of the season. Josh, Mike and Adam look back at their pre-season over/under predictions. These include scoring averages for Tatum and Brown, 2 stats for Rob Williams, Assist numbers for Brown and Tatum combined and where the Celtics would end up in the East. See who got more right. The guys also look at some of the bets they made with each other to see which ones they can call at this point. Can you guess who Josh thought would be in the running for 6th man of the year?

Are the Celtics still rolling without Rob Williams? The Celtics PRIDE team discuss the recent Celtics trends after a loss to Miami and wins against Indiana and Washington. How are the Celtics replacing Rob Williams and is it enough? Despite Josh’s desire to discuss Max Strus at length, the guys review Grant Williams’ turn in the starting lineup and productivity back on the bench mob. Adam, Josh and Mike detail the impact of having Daniel Theis playing Rob’s role in the starting lineup, even hitting on whether Theis makes a difference shooting from three. Then Josh gives Jaylen Brown some love for his strong play recently including some counting statistics to back it up. The Celtics PRIDE guys continue with more gushing about how well Jayson Tatum has been playing, even going back to an old conversation comparing Jayson and Jaylen.

Celtics PRIDE: Coping with Rob's Injury and Appreciating Everything Else
On this week's episode of Celtics Pride, the guys take a brief moment to revel in the C's finding their way (briefly) to the #1 seed in the East, before reacting to the news of Robert Williams tearing his meniscus. Mike makes his case while -- no question a major bummer -- all may not be lost, with Josh and Adam largely in agreement. The guys talk through what the implications will likely be for the remainder of the season -- including whether and how Grant Williams, Daniel Theis, and... even Luke Kornet and Sam Hauser may help fill the void left by Williams' absence. They then try gauge when Williams could come back under the best of circumstances, and discuss whether they'd even want Rob to risk further injury to come back this year in an attempt to win a ring.
Then, with the additional spotlight placed upon him due to Williams' injury, the Pride Guys revisit the trade for Al Horford in the offseason. For Mike, it's a no-brainer great deal (both at the time, and in hindsight), but Adam and Josh didn't neces

Celtics PRIDE: Are These Celtics Historic?
In the past week the Celtics held Golden State to just 32 points in the first half, and during a stretch where the team seems to be legitimately dominating their competition, Adam, Josh and Mike try to answer the question: is this team historically good? But first on this episode of the Celtics Pride Podcast, Mike reacts to Adam’s ‘superstar’ theory on the last episode of Celtics Pride, and questions whether Jayson Tatum can become the top 5 player during these playoffs that Adam believes is necessary to win a title. This prefaces a new segment on the show called the Jayson Tatum Gush-fest, which aims to use facts and stats to celebrate Tatum’s ascendance.
“We’re going to call him out when we need to, but we will also be the first to congratulate him when he deserves it.”
A lot of fans are wondering if this team’s current play is a fluke after the first half of the season, but the Pride Guys would rather look at how good this team actually is. Are they historically good? Mike chimes

Then they discuss KG night. What is the meaning of such celebrations? Will Ray Allen get his number in the rafters next? What is the impact on the current roster of this celebration and of KG coming back into the Garden? Then Josh hits his quota of mentioning Bill Simmons every podcast prompting a discussion of the current team and whether they have a secondary scorer capable of hitting big shots when Jason Tatum gets doubled. Hint: it’s about team basketball not star power with this team. Then Adam and Josh take a look at the playoff teams in both the East and West to identify whether any of them seem scary in the playoffs. Does this year provide a unique opportunity for the Celtics to possibly contend for a title now?

Celtics PRIDE: Tatum's MVP-type level up and Celebrating Coach Ime
In the latest episode of the Celtics PRIDE Podcast, Adam and Mike revel in the Celtics’ proved-it 3-0 week against the Hawks, Grizzlies, and Nets. With the Celtics putting the league on notice–if they hadn’t already–on the backs of Tatum’s stellar play and (Coach of the Month) Ime’s impressive job steering the team’s turnaround, the Pride Guys take a closer look at just what is going on.
First, Mike pleads his case for Jayson Tatum to enter the MVP conversation after watching him go toe-to-toe with Morant and Durant… and come out clearly ahead each time. No… Mike doesn’t believe Tatum should *win* the MVP. But, Top 5…? There just might be something there. Mike lays out his argument for why – after Giannis, Jokic, and Embiid – there’s nobody clearly more deserving of an MVP vote than Jayson Tatum this season based on his improved play, how the advanced stats portray his body of work, and some subtle but noteworthy off-the-court signs of growth, leadership, and maturity.

Then the Pride Guys take a deeper dive into the advanced statistics they’ve found most intriguing of late: Offensive Rating, Defensive Rating, and Net Rating, and their impacts on the Celtics chances in the playoffs. Specifically, they bring up how those three stats have impacted likelihood of making the conference finals over the past ten years, quoting Andrew Schlecht and Alex Spears recently on The Athletic NBA Show. Mike looks closer at our offense and how the numbers have been trending since December 31, and since February 1st, and then Josh wonders what other contributing factors would impact our success in these categories?

What seeding in the playoffs are we expecting? Is home court advantage important for this team? Who are we afraid of playing in the playoffs? The guys look at the 7-8 teams in the wide open eastern conference playoff race and discuss how they match up against the Celtics. What will Brooklyn look like? How will Embiid and Harden fit?

Celtics PRIDE: Trade reaction
It’s a trade deadline reaction! The Celtics PRIDE Team discusses the moves to get Derrick White and Daniel Theis at Thursday’s trade deadline. Mike and Josh give Brad Stevens an A+ grade while Adam has some concerns about the price Stevens paid for White. Adam sees the need for pick protections on the 2028 pick swap and the 2022 1st rounder. Even as a risk mitigation move, it’s the prudent thing to do and common practice among good 21st century GMs. While Mike sees what Stevens traded away as a “calculated risk” to get the right fit on this team. As Stevens stated in his Friday press conference, Derrick White “accentuates” Tatum and Brown. What’s not in dispute on the Celtics PRIDE podcast is the appreciation for Derrick White’s game and his expected impact on the floor with the rest of the Celtics roster. In addition, Daniel Theis’ return helps the Celtics frontcourt stay healthy and gives roster flexibility in the future.

Celtics PRIDE: The Trade Deadline Looms and The Corner Has (Probably) Been Turned!
The Celtics Pride Team delights in the Celtics’ continued strong play – relishing the team’s first 5 game win strike since April 2021, evolution into a defensive juggernaut, and rise up the Eastern Conference Standings.
They go long on the great play of Jayson, Jaylen, Smart, and Rob – though not without an epic, unexpected, and arguably out-of-place rant by Adam about some of Tatum’s picadillos. After, Josh, Adam, and Mike debate whether Jaylen Brown should be considered an All-Star snub (this was recorded *before* LaMelo Ball was announced as KD’s replacement), and whether Rob Williams has the potential to become a better player than Jarrett Allen.
Next, the guys turn their attention to the upcoming trade deadline. First, they visit recent Bill Simmons comments, where he clamored for Indiana’s Domantas Sabonis – even at the expense of Rob and Smart – do the Pride Guys agree? Do you? They then focus on the trades they expect the Celtics will actually make, with all three more or less hopi

Tune in to find out when the last time the Celtics were 2 games above .500, as well as other nerdy stats and eye-test trends. Josh and Mike explain who caught their eye on the opposing teams the Celtics played, just in time for trade-season. They also speak to the rumblings that Dennis Schroder might be on the move at the trade deadline, and bring his last 4 games in a row of under 20 minutes played as evidence to something brewing. What would this kind of addition by subtraction mean for the rest of the roster? Josh thinks having Richardson play more backup point guard will both be good for the team’s ball movement and allow more playing time for Aaron Nesmith and Romeo Langford.

Mike and Josh – flying the plane without Adam this week – steer right into a couple of key questions based on the Celtics recent strong play (7-3 in their last 10! Really!): Have the Celtics turned a corner? And, if so, what exactly is the corner they’ve turned?
To answer, they look at the team’s recent play, the strong performances from Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, and Rob Williams, as well as some of the trends that have lingered dating back to the beginning of last season.
The guys then briefly address some of the recent minor trade rumors surrounding the Celtics (who wants a third Jeff Green tour here in Boston!?) before touching on the second question Mike had: are we SURE we’ll be better off if we trade Dennis Schroder?
Finally, Josh and Mike take a quick look at the games to come between now and the trade deadline and the opportunity the upcoming slate presents to the Celtics.

The Celtics Pride guys are back together again to talk all things Celtics. They start the pod by offering a few more trade ideas before delving into the recent response to Ime Udoka's comments and philosophy of honesty. "Honest Ime," as Adam calls him, is nothing if not direct, and the guys weigh in on what they think of this approach. Unlike some media members, the Celtics Pride crew doesn't see Udoka throwing his players under the bus. Instead, they see his comments as being parallel to exactly what all the fas are watching on the court. They then promote CelticsBlog's Adam Spinella's recent article supporting Udoka as creating a player-led culture of accountability and leadership.
They wrap up the episode by discussing why all the losing the Celtics are doing could actually be a good thing for the Celtics stars, and the team in the future. How could this be? Tune in to find out.

Celtics PRIDE: What exactly *is* this team?
Adam and Mike are joined by Bobby Manning (CelticsBlog, CLNS Media, and Boston Sports Journal) to take stock of the team at the start of 2022, trying to make sense of a team whose last 4 games involved:
a horrific loss to a G-League version of the Timberwolves
a 4-42 showing from deep against the Clippers
a wire-to-wire victory against the Suns – who just happen to be a Top 2 or 3 team in the league
a by-the-skin-of-their-teeth win against a normally hapless Magic team that was also without key players.
In short… what exactly *is* this Celtics team?
The guys begin by exploring just how relevant it is that the Celtics have lost more games to COVID over the last 1.5 season than just about every other team and wondering whether the Jays are too ball dominant – and if the solution is simply putting more ‘connectors’ on the roster. They also examine whether or not effort or focus have been – and/or remain – primary issues facing the team this season, and how much blame Ime and Brad should

Celtics PRIDE: Instant Reaction to Minnesota Loss
Adam and Mike give their rapid reactions after watching the Minnesota Timberwolves beat the Boston Celtics. This may have been the worst loss of a season with many strong candidates for that distinction. Some Celtics are back from Covid, others are now out. Jayson Tatum missed this game after entering covid protocols but Minnesota played the end of their bench and replacement players and came back to take the lead in the 4th quarter and never looked back. Adam and Mike discuss the concerning trend of 4th quarter collapses, even including Head Coach Ime Udoka’s comments on the matter. Meanwhile Jayson Tatum is leading the league in 4th quarter scoring and the Celtics are one of the worst teams in the clutch. Are those two things causal or correlational? The guys talk about Romeo Langford and Payton Pritchard’s ascension amidst the rubble of covid replacements and disjointed team construction and hate the minutes Juancho Hernangomez is getting to simply miss 3s. Finally they answer the question, would

Celtics PRIDE: Ainge in Utah, IT to LA, and MIL/GSW/NYK
Adam, Josh, and Mike take stock of the C’s recent games against Milwaukee, Golden State, and New York – with the team showing some resolve and signs of improvement following their frustrating 1-4 road trip out West. Adam clamors for more playing time for the team’s youth (free Nesmith and Pritchard!) while Mike is skeptical it will happen. Josh highlights Josh Richardson’s great recent play, and they all delight in the recent improved play of Jaylen and Jayson (together!).
The Pride guys then focus their attention on news around the league for prominent Celtics of (recent) past: Danny Ainge’s new turn in Utah and ‘The Little Guy’s’ 10-day contract with the (hated) Lakers. In discussing Ainge, Adam offers some analysis (and conspiracy theories) trying to explain the circumstances that lead to Ainge landing in Utah – and the timing of his announcement. Mike wonders what all the buzz is about. And Josh highlights how the intensity of Boston’s fan base may have factored in. Re: IT – the Pr

Celtics PRIDE: Trade Ideas for Dec 15
Josh and Adam present Celtics trade ideas to make the team better in anticipation of December 15th, when players around the NBA who signed contracts this off-season are allowed to be traded. They start with big deals that would shake up the core of the roster. Then they discuss what would be worth giving up Marcus Smart, and end with more realistic ideas to get an injection of toughness on the roster, as Josh unveils his list of tough 4-men in the NBA. During the episode you will hear how to conceptually get some of the NBA’s biggest names in Boston like Damian Lillard, C.J. McCollum, Domantas Sabonis, Pascal Siakam, Ben Simmons, Donovan Mitchell, Evan Mobley, Scottie Barnes and more. However, the twins land on one name who they feel is gettable, doesn’t break the bank, and can provide exactly what the Celtics lack. Tune in to find out who that is.

Celtics PRIDE: Last three games
Josh and Adam discussed the last three games against Philadelphia, Utah and Portland without the support of Mike Minkoff who hopefully is enjoying a warm beach in Mexico. They discussed the win over Philadelphia after Joel Embiid’s 3 week absence from Covid. How much of Embiid’s poor play in that game was a result of Covid 19? Was this a win Philly gave to Boston or a gritty performance showing Boston’s improvement and ability? Then they discussed Utah’s scorching hot shooting and Boston’s ability to stay in the game until the end… until they couldn’t. How much responsibility does Dennis Schroeder shoulder for that loss based on his end-of-game performance? Do we want him playing and taking hero shots at the end of games? Then they discuss the Blazer game including the bench technical resulting from Payton Pritchard’s hometown three point barrage. Josh thinks that bench technical is a turning point of the season.

Celtics PRIDE: The Schroder-Coaster
The Celtics PRIDE team recaps the past two games vs. the Cleveland Cavaliers to bring the team to 7-7 on the year after going 5-2 in the last 7 games. The Celtics PRIDE guys discuss the team’s style of play and propensity for isolation scoring and thus a lack of ball movement. “For the love of Celtics Pride, I need some ball movement in my Celtics. I need my Celtics to play together as a unit and play like a team instead of this ‘my turn your turn basketball.” - Josh Motenko (@coachmotenko) Is this iso style of play contagious?
Mike (@mikeminkoffnba) counters with the tale of the tape of the Celtics recent defensive teamwork - demonstrating why fans should be excited by the Celtics recent play on that end of the floor.
Then the pod clarifies the language that had been used on on recent episodes regarding Jayson Tatum’s mental toughness. The conversation turns to talk of “grit,” “resiliency,” and “avoidance.” THe guys geek out on psychological definitions, referencing positive psy

The Celtics PRIDE team recaps the past 10 days of rollercoasters with this Celtics Team including tough losses to Washington and Chicago, Marcus Smart calling out his teammates, huge wins against Orlando and Miami and Luka Doncic’s dagger in Dallas. Are they playing with more effort? Was Marcus Smart right to call out Tatum and Brown the way he did? What is the level of frustration with this team after going 2-1 to bring the season’s record to 4-6? Josh leads a stock watch conversation on which players are trending up and down, including Al Horford’s incredible play, Nesmith and Langford showing something, Josh Richardson starting to look better but not enough. There’s still a big hole Josh would like to see the team fill. The guys also look to a rematch against Toronto, a challenging game against Milwaukee and two easy ones against Cleveland.

Celtics PRIDE: Pusillanimous
The Celtics PRIDE co-hosts meet the 2-5 Celtics face to face in this podcast, with their reaction to the Celtics' 7th game of the season - a backbreaking, 18-point-3rd-quarter-lead-gifting, come-from-behind loss to the Chicago Bulls. And they all agree it’s worth the first 30 minutes of this podcast to go “in” on Jayson Tatum and dissect what’s really going wrong with this team and its best player. Mike Minkoff @mikeminkoffnba thinks Jayson Tatum is playing with a losers’ mindset. Adam Motenko is sick of Tatum’s complaining to the refs and not running back on defense. Yet Josh Motenko @coachmotenko pulls out the dictionary.
“Jayson Tatum is pusillanimous (pyoo-suh-lan-uh-muhs): lacking courage or resolution; cowardly; faint-hearted; timid.”
Yet Coach Josh is not all the way sure the team needs to have its best player be its best leader. He also points out that there are some systemic issues with how we got here. Firstly being that the Celtics don’t have one truly great pa

Celtics PRIDE: Hornets Game Instant Reaction
The CelticsPRIDE guys give an instant reaction to the Celtics' 4th game of the season - an overtime thriller vs. the Charlotte Hornets. Old friend Terry Rozier watched this game from the sidelines as the Celtics had to band together to climb out of a hole to even the score late in the 4th quarter. This supercharged Hornets team, led by dynamo gunslinger LaMelo Ball's 3 point shooting and passing was the better team most of the game. LaMelo's court vision and instincts created easy baskets all game long for Gordon Hayward and other teammates, but somehow Marcus Smart came through defensively with the luck of the Irish in the clutch. Adam Motenko, Josh Motenko @coachmotenko and Mike Minkoff @mikeminkoffnba discuss the patterns they're starting to see after 4 games this year, Ime Udoka's mistakes, and how much to overreact to them, as well as the difference between Brad Stevens and Udoka based on some quotes the players have made recently.

Then they get into a discussion about the upcoming season. Just how optimistic is Jeff this year? How far does he think the team can go? Who is he sneakily excited about? Should we worry about Marcus Smart? What about Robert Williams’ injury history? Who Jeff thinks is our closing lineup at the end of the season.

Are there any benefits beyond the on-the-court product?
After that, the gentlemen take a deep dive look at the Eastern Conference, ranking all 15 teams across four teams: Belles of the Ball (championship contenders); Life of the Party (playoff locks); Happy to be Invited (play-in candidates); and Ugly Stepsiblings (not in the conversation). What follows is a lengthy, thoughtful exchange trying to make sense of an offseason full of player movement and a suddenly deep and competitive Eastern Conference.

Celtics PRIDE: Offseason Grades and Biggest Questions
Now that the dust has finally settled on the offseason (we think), Adam Motenko, Josh Motenko and Mike Minkoff break out the red pen and start handing out grades. In doing so, we touch on our favorite and least favorite moves of the offseason during which we answered the following questions: Was the Kemba Walker trade anybody’s favorite... or did it rank at the bottom? Who rated the Marcus Smart extension as their favorite move of the off season? Did Adam double down on his concern over the Robert Williams extension and rate is his least favorite offseason move? And did former hard feelings about losing Evan Fournier linger? We also touched on key questions stemming from the offseason including whether Josh Richardson can shoot 3s, whether Al’s still got game, and if Timelord can stay on the court now that he’s been paid. And, finally, we give out our overall grades for the off-season. How did our grades compare to yours?

Celtics PRIDE: Why The Rob Williams Extension?
Adam Motenko, Josh Motenko and Mike Minkoff discuss why the Celtics might have been better off waiting to give Robert Williams his contract extension that now kicks in after this season. Adam gives his top 4 reasons why he thinks it was a poor choice by Brad Stevens. Along the way they bring you up to date on what this means for the likelihood of Bradley Beal wearing Celtics Green in the future, how little the Timelord has actually been on the court, and where Williams ranks in the league at his position based on his rate of pay. We’ll be honest, Adam get’s pretty fired up about this, and Mike makes several key points to contest Adam’s sentiment. When the Celtics Front Office gives us lemons, the Celtics Pride Guys will sometimes make angry lemonade.
On the eve of Josh Richardson signing a 1 year extension with the Celtics for 12.4 million, Josh shares his feelings on the Celtics spacing issues with their new identity being tied to their three veteran guards who are good defenders, but poor shooter

Celtics PRIDE: Smart Extension, Schroeder, Summer League
Adam Motenko, Josh Motenko and Mike Minkoff react instantly to Marcus Smart’s new contract extension. Smart signed a reported 4 year, $77.1 million contract extension that would kick in after this season. We like the deal but discuss how it impacts the salary cap going into the year Bradley Beal becomes a free agent.
“The Celtics are NOT going to have max cap space going into next season.” - Mike Minkoff
Josh suggests Smart’s 77 number is lucky and Adam walks back his comments on the Celtics ownership group’s willingness to spend into the luxury tax as some of the least wealthy owners in the league. The guys move on to discussing Dennis Schroeder’s signing and role on this team including current preferences for starting lineups. Is Schroeder coming off the bench?

Adam, Josh and Mike start by overreacting to game one of the summer league. They give their takes on Yam Madar, Carsen Edwards, Romeo Langford, Aaron Nesmith, Payton Pritchard Juhann Begarin and Sam Hauser. Is Yam already better than Carsen Edwards? Does Josh still think Romeo Langford can be an all star? Should we be happy with Aaron Nesmith? Should Pritchard be running the offense more effectively? Is Juhann Begarin a future NBA player? Can Sam Hauser defend anybody?
Then the guys vent about the offseason. Mike is happy because the team did what he thought they should but Josh and Adam have gripes about ownership's willingness to spend into the luxury tax and a strategy that has led this team to get worse each of the last 2-3 offseasons.
Discussion shifts to Marcus Smart's rumored extension offer and what that means for the proposed cap flexibility for 2022-23 that the front office is using as justification for not re-signing Evan Fournier. Josh poses the problematic question, "who do you want to be the tea

Right now, there's no coach on the bench with a reputation for developing young players, rather, this coaching team looks geared towards players entering, or residing in their primes. Are we going to see some of the young rotation players moved on in favor of battled tested veterans?

Celtics PRIDE: Analyzing the Kemba/Horford trade and what's next for the Celtics offseason
On this episode of the The Celtics PRIDE podcast the guys react to the Celtics trading Kemba Walker and the 16th pick in this year’s draft for Al Horford and Moses Brown. Was this a good deal for the Celtics? Did they make the trade too early in the not-even-the-offseason? Was it too much to give up the 1st round pick in addition to Kemba?
The guys talk through the way the trade will impact the Celtics’ ability to make additional moves this offseason, and begin discussing what those moves may look like: Which positions will (or should) the Celtics target? Are there specific players they should pursue in trade or free agency? Will the team prioritize signing Evan Fournier?
“And that ultimately boils down to exactly what this trade was about which is creating flexibility and pathways to get to and increasing the overall talent level -- and high level talent -- on this team, and before that trade of Kemba, we had no pathways for the next couple of years.” - Mike Minkoff

Then, they take a deep look at the “Kemba Walker Conundrum” and explore whether team building oriented around small point guards is simply doomed to fail. Adam shares his small point guard hypothesis and asks Mike and Josh to weigh-in, before revealing what he found when he dug into existing research on this very question. Josh and Mike share their perspectives, understanding of the research, and core basketball beliefs, as the crew ultimately looks at the implications for Adam’s question on the Celtics’ -- and Brad Stevens’ -- upcoming decisions heading into the offseason. Will Stevens move away from Ainge’s affinity for small point guards? And is there really better value to the Celtics in trading Kemba or keeping a potential 20 ppg scorer?

How will Stevens differ from Ainge in the way he runs the front office, the type of culture he creates and the way he caters to the modern player?
“I’m really curious about what Stevens is going to look like, what his values are going to look like as an executive and what kind of player talent evaluation he is going to care about… we don’t know what Brad Stevens cares about and we will find out as he starts making moves. I don’t know what else to do but wait and see and evaluate once we see what he does.” - Adam Motenko

“The main thing is that Celtics pride continuity is maintained with the homegrown guys staying within the franchise to keep tradition alive. That's the bridge that Danny Ainge made from red Auerbach, and if Brad stays a while and can handle the job, that's the best way to continue having good people and maintaining tradition at the same time. It creates hopefully continued continuity of institutional legacy.”

Celtics PRIDE: Jaylen Brown Done - Instant Reaction
The Celtics PRIDE guys discuss their instant reactions to the news of Jaylen Brown being out for the remainder of the year after being diagnosed with a torn scapholunate ligament in his wrist. He is expecting to have surgery to repair the ligament later this week. They also discuss what this means for the rest of this season.
Jaylen’s injury is the same as Bojan Bogdanovic and Romeo Langoford, although with Jaylen Brown, his injury was sustained to his left (non-shooting) wrist. Bojan has been playing great after his come-back from the injury. There is a 3-6 month recovery time, so the Celtics are hopeful Brown will be ready by the start of training camp 5 months from now. Brown played 58 total games, and ironically has incentives tied to making the All-Star team and playing exactly 58 games, which increases his earnings $1.339 million, according to Bobby Marks.

CelticsPod: Time to stop play-in around
Following the Boston Celtics loss to the Miami Heat, Adam and Greg dive into the notion of the teams struggles being Brad Stevens fault. Adam explores the idea that perhaps there's an issue with the coaching staff in terms of assistants. The guys also explore moving Marcus Smart back to the bench, to allow the Kemba Walker / Evan Fournier tandem to flourish, before gushing over Aaron Nesmith's continued stellar play. Obviously, the guys air their thoughts about Boston's slow starts, and how their lack of execution is a huge cause for concern, before finally ending the show with discussing the changes in approach they want to see when the teams face off again on Tuesday.

Why Jaylen Brown's defensive regression isn't a cause for concern right now, and a quick look ahead to today's Bull's game.

Celtics PRIDE: Tatum's Records, Nesmith's Jolt & All NBA Forwards
The Celtics Pride team reacts to Jayson Tatum’s record breaking streak. Should he be compared to Larry Bird? Aaron Nesmith has been a huge spark for this team showing tremendous confidence on both offense and defense. Josh compares Nesmith’s basketball IQ to Romeo Langford and explains why Nesmith is ahead of Romeo on the depth chart. The guys discuss the current rotations believing Brad has finally settled on roles for these players heading towards the playoffs. However, with Tatum and Brown colliding in the last game what is the health status of this team including Kemba Walker, Marcus Smart and Evan Fournier? Adam ruminates on the potential of this year’s squad on paper if they could all get healthy at the same time. They give up on trying to make sense of this weird Celtics team but give thoughts on how far the C’s might go in the playoffs.

They also get in to Aaron Nesmith's current breakout as an integral bench piece, what that could mean for Romeo Langford - and a potential bench unit that would give Boston multi-skilled players at all times. The guys finish up by discussing the Celtics defense, and it's weakness guarding middle, before discussing the finer things in life AKA Netflix and movies.

Celtics PRIDE: Is the remaining schedule easy enough? And is Brad Stevens a soft coach?
The Celtics Pride Team -- once again -- takes a look at and tries to make sense of the Celtics' recent poor and inconsistent play after frustrating losses to the Nets and Hornets.
Building from that, the crew examines Celtics upcoming schedule, as well as those for the Knicks and the Hawks, to figure out whether the Celtics can -- and should -- prioritize rest, repetitions, or seeding (and avoiding the play-in) over the remaining 11 games of the season. Will Kemba start playing both ends of the remaining 3 back-to-backs? Will Tatum, Brown, or Smart be able to sneak in any rest days? Will the Celtics fall to 7th or 8th in the Conference??
Finally, Adam, Josh, and Mike discuss whether the Celtics poor play is a function of Brad Stevens being too S-O-F-T as a coach, in reaction to the label being applied by Jalen Rose on the ESPN post-game. And... if Brad Stevens *is* too soft, what's the fix?

Celtics PRIDE: A Win Streak!
On this episode of Celtics PRIDE, Adam, Josh, and Mike discuss the recent win streak and what has changed for this team in the past weeks. This includes the defensive impact of Tristan Thompson and Grant Williams. Role clarity for players up and down the roster and in rotations, Kemba Walker’s improved play including increased assist numbers and general ball movement. Of course, Jayson Tatum has been exceptional in this stretch of games. Has the team's grit and toughness improved? Are they healthier as Brad Stevens suggested?
The guys also share thoughts on the Jabari Parker move. Will he make a difference? Was Mo Wagner really that bad?
The Celtics are now in the running for the #4 seed and in a good position to miss the play-in tournament with 15 games left in the season.
“The reason the population on Tristan Thompson Island is burgeoning is that Tristan Thompson has been an absolute defensive juggernaut unto himself.” -Mike Minkoff

We also explore Kemba Walker's ability to find a rhythm when missing back-to-backs and having to adjust to a more spot-up shooting role, before discussing Kemba as sixth man - as a fan mentioned on locker room.

They discuss how the Celtics are finally playing well (7-3 in last 10 games since the trade deadline, 3 game win streak) after so much malaise on the court, frustration from the coaching staff, and full-on fan depression. The Pride guys ask Jeremy if he thinks this team is finally turning their season around and he responds with a nice analogy.
They share thoughts on Romeo Langford’s contributions, his ceiling, and his new-found ability to finally grow facial hair - and for context they remind fans that Romeo is younger than Aaron Nesmith AND has played fewer games than Payton Pritchard.
Jeremy remarks that he thinks Romeo is better than Jaylen Brown defensively, and this sparks a debate about who are the top 5 defenders on the Celtics. Listen to find out where Tatum and Brown rank.

On this episode of Celtics PRIDE, Adam, Josh, and Mike evaluate the trades made at the deadline with 10 days of hindsight. The guys discuss the Evan Fournier and Daniel Theis deals as one combined trade since the need to save money by trading Theis was a result of the Fournier trade. Adam rants about how Danny Ainge should have kept Theis and included Javonte Green in the Fournier deal to get under the tax instead of having to give up Theis to save money as well as how other seemingly minor cap moves and trades have caused the Celtics to be in their current position. The Pride guys also discuss how the value of these trades comes from having greater roster balance, from removing players to create more role clarity, and whether these trades improved the team more now or more going forward. They discuss the use of the TPE now, whether they should have traded Tristan Thompson and what value Luke Kornet and Mo Vagner bring to this team.

We look at what each of these improvements could mean for Boston, and why things have suddenly started to click for the team.

They question how worried we should all be that Tatum and Brown will eventually leave, if things ominously continue as they have this season. Andrew then shares that he too believes the Celtics should make SOME move before Thursday’s trade deadline, and they discuss a couple options.

Mike argues that Brooklyn is a real title contender and better than Boston.

Fan expectations for the TPE seem overly high and the CelticsPride team worries about what will happen if the Celtics do not trade the TPE this year.

They begin the episode by re-visiting Josh’s prediction from 2 weeks ago, when he suggested that a simple 4-game win streak would change fans’ outlook on the team. So... with the 4-game win streak heading into the All-Star break… do we actually feel better about the team?
From there, the Celtics Pride team asks Keith for his impressions of the team at the midway point of the season. Is Keith surprised by where the C’s sit in the standings? Does he consider the 1st half of the season a disappointment? Given the team’s success in recent years, is any season that doesn’t end with a Finals berth a disappointment?
Then they get Keith’s read on what he thinks Danny and the Front Office should do as the trade deadline approaches, the types of player he thinks the team should pursue with the TPE, and whether the TPE is better to use midseason or

Josh 48-24 - 3rd in East
Mike 44-28 - 5th in East
Adam 40-32 - 5th in East
Kemba looks healthy and Brown has made a leap. But has Tatum also made a leap? How is the bench compared to expectations? Was this what you expected from Thompson and Teague? Is Semi Ojeley doing enough? Is Rob Williams Consistent? Is Aaron Nesmith still in the rotation? s Payton Pritchard in a slump? This team is playing as poorly as it seems and the numbers back it up. They are only a +.5 in point differential, 13th in net rating, 13th in offensive rating and 16th in defensive rating.
“Kemba is health, Brown made a leap, Tatum has continued his strong play from last year and they have three bench contributors in Tristan Thompson, Rob Williams and Payton Pritchard. So How is this team still so average?” - Adam Motenko

Celtics PRIDE: Waiting for Brown and Tatum to Mature, and Wondering about Kemba
On this episode of Celtics PRIDE, Adam, Josh, and Mike try to make sense of the Celtics up-and-down play over the last week, and come to peace with the fact the Celtics are not likely to compete for the ‘ship as currently constructed. The question is… what does that mean for next steps? Well, Adam and Josh argue that the team is best served by enduring the growing pains that come with a young bench and two young stars growing into new roles as lead playmakers, while Mike wonders whether Ainge should be looking to trade Kemba for something of value (even if modest) to create greater long-term cap flexibility. Josh even introduces the newest Celtics PRIDE segment “Started from the comments, now we’re here” to underscore his message of the need to keep patient with this young team that’s still learning their way.

For the second half of the show, Adam is joined by Andrew Kelly of SB Nation's Peach Tree Hoops to bring you a deeper understanding of the Atlanta Hawks, their struggles, sets, and strengths, as we prepare to face them three time in the next 7 days

Celtics PRIDE: The Sky Is Falling
On this episode of Celtics PRIDE, Adam Motenko stays neutral, Mike Minkoff shares nerdy stats about how poor the Celtics offense is compared to the rest of the league and Coach Josh Motenko tries to provide big picture perspective to the mentality that many Celtics fans feel these days - that the sky is falling. Josh coins the new psychological disorder, the Sky Is Falling Anxiety Syndrome (SIFAS). If you’re having any of the following belief symptoms, you may have SIFAS. 1. The worst case scenario is happening before our eyes. 2. The coach isn't being listened to anymore. 3. The stars will leave us because that's how the NBA works. 4. Fire someone, quick! 5. Trade someone! 6. I'm jumping off the Tobin Bridge.
Coach Josh then outlines the many reasons why the sky is actually not falling, from what the standings are telling us about so many middling teams across the league, to variance of point differentials being historically high this year for NBA teams - including the Celtics - to th

CelticsPod: Disjointed thoughts after Wizards loss w/ Becca Winkert
A tough loss to the Wizards caused Adam to throw out all his podcasting notes. So, when he was joined by Wizards Xtra's Becca Winkert, the discussion took a very disjointed path. From Wizards players making a statement, to Tatum getting caught up in a personal battle - we cover it all - just not in the usual orderly fashion.

Celtics PRIDE: The C's go West and the Celtics Pride TPE Big Board!
On this episode of Celtics PRIDE, Adam Motenko, Josh Motenko and Mike Minkoff discuss the Celtics' 2-2 West Coast swing against the Warriors, Kings, Clippers, and Suns. The consider whether there's cause for concern over Kemba (spoiler: there isn't and y'all need to calm down), how excited we should be about the progress of young guys like (first time starter) Carsen Edwards and hot-stroking Grant Williams (depends who you ask). And whether Celtics units led by Brown are more effective than those led by Tatum..
Then, the team unveils the Celtics Pride TPE Big Board -- the composite top 5 (well, 6 it turned out) TPE targets after starting with a list of 35 candidates from which each of Josh, Adam, and Mike's picked and scored their preferred respective top 5 targets. One of us floats trading Marcus Smart to get Draymond Green and we collectively grapple with whether the Celtics should target a player with multiple years left, or somebody set to become a Free Agent. Hovering over it all are questions about the

Celtics PRIDE: The Tatum Maturity Bulls-eye
On this episode of Celtics PRIDE, Adam Motenko, Josh Motenko and Mike Minkoff touch on all the reasons we could be concerned but aren’t - from the Celtics’ inability to keep from scoring on their own basket, to Jeff Teague’s inability to hit his floater, to Pritchard being out and now Marcus Smart’s recent injury. Then they share thoughts on Kemba’s poor play after his leader-like comments in the media about Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum not needing to change anything about how they’re playing - because it should be Kemba who makes the adjustment. Mike and Josh squash the Aaron Nesmith debate with a bet: on whether Nesmith will shoot over 38% at any point throughout his rookie contract - and they dig up a similar bet made in 2019 for Carsen Edwards. Hopefully now, they can let the on-court play do the talking.

Celtics PRIDE: Evaluating the stars and bench so far, plus Josh and Mike can't stop fighting
On this episode of Celtics PRIDE, Adam Motenko, Josh Motenko and Mike Minkoff begin to evaluate the season thus far, especially focusing on the stars and depth. This year’s squad needs Jaylen Brown and Jason Tatum to make a leap and Kemba Walker to get healthy. The crew discusses the likelihood of that future and regrets previous limitations they put on Jaylen Brown’s ceiling. Then they evaluate the new free agents Tristan Thompson and Jeff Teague as well as review Brad Stevens’ evaluation of those players. The guys update Romeo’s return and potential impact and the massive hole on the wing that Aaron Nesmith is simply not ready to fill. They also play the True or False game - Is Tristan Thompson a worse Embiid defender than Enes Kanter? Is Semi Ojeleye an acceptable rotation player for a deep playoff team? Finally Mike and Josh get into another argument about whether leadership and skill development parallels exist between the NBA and the traditional workforce.

Should Jaylen Brown be playmaking at a higher rate from the wing? Do the Celtics have enough secondary creation on offense? And is Daniel Theis better suited to the starting 5 than Tristan Thompson?

On this episode of Celtics PRIDE, Adam Motenko, @coachmotenko and @mikeminkoffnba discuss COVID-19 details faced by the NBA, from how positive tests and other covid related Information is publicized, to addressing whether teams with more covid positive players give them some sort of immunity silver lining.

In a season when unsung players are having big games around the NBA and getting opportunities they wouldn’t have otherwise, the Celtics PRIDE team delve into whether we are seeing this happen as much with our Celtics squad.

The hole at 4 spot is becoming increasingly obvious, so would Harrison Barnes be the solution? And while Thompson has added physicality to the Celtics on both ends of the floor, we're still waiting to see the best of him, does he have an injury hangover?

Celtics PRIDE: Jaylen the flamethrower, Tatum lacks force, Payton Pritchard is GOOD, and other reactions from the past week
The Celtics Pride team had so many reactions this week they had to record them in two parts.
Part 1 - After squeezing out a win against the Pistons on Sunday, Adam, Josh, and Mike needed a cathartic conversation to discuss their frustration with Tatum (despite the game winner and `12 assists), express their amazement at Jaylen's play against the Grizzlies and Pistons, and wonder what the heck is going on with the team's effort, and Stevens' lineup decisions. Mike breaks out some depressing stats on Jayson Tatum's performance operating in the ISO, the team wonders whether Payton Pritchard is the Celtics 3rd best offensive player, reflects on their initial impressions of Tristan Thompson, and Adam wonders when Aaron Nesmith will have the opportunity to get regular minutes to learn what to do on the court.
Part 2 - Adam, Josh, and Mike are back at it immediately following the Celtics emphatic win against the Raptors. Did their feelings about Tatum change? Is Payton Pritchard destined for the Hall of Fame? Will w

On this episode of Celtics PRIDE, Josh Motenko, Mike Minkoff and Adam Motenko discuss the Celtics first three games of the 2020-2021 NBA Season including the win against the Bucks on Jason Tatum's bank shot three at the buzzer, the blowout loss to Brooklyn and the loss to Indiana on another last second three attempt by Tatum. The guys compare Jason Tatum's development and clutch shots to Paul Pierce in his early prime and explore why Brad Stevens chose not to design a play at the end of either game. They pointed out how this choice might be very intentional on Brad Stevens' part for the purpose of player development and may be connected to his increasingly striking public comments. The PRIDE team takes an initial temperature of other important developments in the early season such as Jaylen Brown and Marcus Smart's play, the "twin tower" starting five with Theis and Thompson.

After Friday's episode Adam, Josh, and Mike (mostly Mike) were called out by Durwood Vanderhoop (@1durwood on Twitter), a member of the Aquinnah Wampanoag Tribe, for the way we discussed Kyrie's use of sage to perform a traditional smudging practice prior to the Celtics-Nets preseason game. So, we apologized. And we were appreciative when Durwood agreed to join us to discuss.
Durwood shares the significance of sage burning and smudging in his life and his reaction to seeing a bona fide NBA superstar like Kyrie Irving embracing and representing his own Native American heritage. We also discuss the inherent reactivity Celtics fans have to anything Kyrie does, how that contributed to culturally insensitive and uninformed backlash among Celtics fans and media, and briefly reflect on other examples of non-Western cultures imprinting and positively impacting basketball (here's looking at you Doc!)
