    It pains me to hear Bob on thus podcast - I've been a fan of his for 50 years or more, but he's losing his fastball. Not surprising at hos age.

  • I love you guys, but please sort out your audio!

    You guys are the best and post great content in an original way. I get it sometimes you may be travelling, but it would be much better if the microphone quality could improve. Often the audio quality is very poor for several of you. Thanks!

  • Great basketball (and sports) po!

    This is my “must listen” pod every week. Usually twice per week and always interesting and enjoyable. No idiotic hot-takes and manufactured controversy, just intelligent conversation about current events in the basketball world with a focus on the Celtics. Gary is the perfect host and keeps things moving. Bob is an absolute legend and fountain of knowledge and memories. The weak link by far is Jeff Goodman. His takes are often way off base and he lives by the tired “I knew that player in AAU” dr... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Can Jayson Tatum Carry This Celtics Team to the NBA Finals?
Q: Is that the way the league is right now? That you have to get the endorsement of your best player when you hire a coach?
O'Connor says it depends on the player and team. Star input can matter, but players are not always the best judges of coaching hires, and front offices need to understand their players and build trust.
Can Jayson Tatum Carry This Celtics Team to the NBA Finals?
Q: What do you expect out of the Celtics this year?
Kevin O'Connor thinks Boston can reach the Finals, though he does not consider the Celtics equipped to beat the strongest Western Conference teams. He points to questions about secondary scoring, the center rotation, role players, and Mazzulla's ability to adjust.
Should the Celtics Trade Jaylen Brown for Giannis Antetokounmpo?
Q: And my big question to you is Giannis, we know is on the block. Like would you do Jaylen Brown for Giannis?
Yes, I would consider the deal because if Giannis is available and healthy, pairing him with Tatum could create a championship-ready core, though it comes with risks and significant cost in players and draft picks.
All Star Weekend All Over? Chris Paul underrated, and Bob likes the Celts for the run!
Q: How do you feel about the Celtics' prospects for this season?
They're on the right path and making positive moves, but I don't expect them to win a championship this year.
All Star Weekend All Over? Chris Paul underrated, and Bob likes the Celts for the run!
Q: What do you think about Chris Paul's career?
He's one of the greatest point guards, but his legacy is complicated because he never won a championship.
