Celtics PRIDE: Tatum's Records, Nesmith's Jolt & All NBA Forwards May 04, 2021

Show notes

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. “Josh, if you were to bet on your twin brother’s life, what would you say the Celtics’ postseason outcome will be?” - Mike Minkoff Finally, Mike gets nerdy reviewing who he expects to receive All NBA honors at the end of the year. Is Jason Tatum on included? His next contract (starting next year) and the Celtics’ salary cap will be impacted by the outcome.

CelticsPod: Reasons for optimism May 03, 2021

Show notes

Adam and Greg get together to discuss Tatum dropping 60, and the improvements that have led him to this point, Tatum taking his next step towards superstardom, and the ridiculous upside of him and Brown playing together. 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. Learn more about your ad choices.

Celtics PRIDE: Is the remaining schedule easy enough? And is Brad Stevens a soft coach? Apr 27, 2021

Show notes

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? “Tatum obviously is exhaustion candidate number one. It looks like he needs three days off… and we’re obviously not gonna get that” - Josh Motenko Remember to rate, review, and subscribe to the Celticsblog podcast feed (we're “Celtics PRIDE”) and follow us on Twitter @celticspridepod, a @celticsblog podcast.

CelticsPod: The Bad, The Worse & The Encouraging Apr 26, 2021

Show notes

Boston took a beating at the hand of the Charlotte Hornets. Today, Adam and Greg discuss the bad (transition defense, lack of penetration), the worse (lack of effort, poor body language, lack of accountability) and the encouraging (Aaron Nesmith, Jabari Parker at the 5, and Payton Pritchard as a penetrator) as they try to make sense of Boston's current slide back into inconsistency.

OH, don't forget the mandatory discussion about seeding and it's importance vs health for the playoffs! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Celtics PRIDE: A Win Streak! Apr 20, 2021

Show notes

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 Remember to rate, review, and subscribe to the Celticsblog podcast feed (we're “Celtics PRIDE”) and follow us on Twitter @celticspridepod, a @celticsblog podcast.
