  • Lazy sports journalism

    See CLNS. See Andy Kaufman. Jaylen Brown called them out on their laziness.

  • Y'all thinking the C's would and should leave the Garden is the stupidest and illogical idea I've heard in a very long time. Just wow. Where the hell would that new stadium go? There's no room. And it makes no sense the Garden is practically new.

  • Good listen

    I appreciate that Kaufman is a C’s fan and brings that perspective. He has some good guests on the show. However, in some episodes Evan Valenti sounds like he is talking through a tin can.

    I appreciate that Kaufman is a C’s fan and brings that perspective. He has some good guests on the show. However, Evan Valenti needs a proper mic. It sounds like he is talking through a tin can.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

681: Should Celtics Focus on Trading White Instead of Brown? w/ Brian Barrett
Q: What is the plausible path for the Celtics this off-season given Giannis and Brown rumors?
The hosts weigh a Giannis trade as a real option despite the risk to depth, arguing the short window for contention with Giannis could justify a dramatic move, while also considering keeping Brown and building around Tatum with complementary pieces.
678: Most Jaylen Trades Don't Make Celtics Better w/ Cedric Maxwell
Q: Why not keep the Jays together and build around them?
Max argues for keeping the core forward and addressing the roster gaps around a healthy Tatum and Brown, suggesting that moving Brown should only be on the table if a package clearly nets a superior long-term asset, like Giannis, otherwise the team may regret it.
671: Celtics Holding Back in Final Knicks Battle? w/ Keith Smith
Q: What were Keith Smith's key takeaways from the Knicks game and how might Boston approach future matchups?
Keith noted that despite the loss, the Celtics showed organizational depth and a flexible rotation, with Joe Mium - sorry, Joe Missoula - choosing an eight-man rotation to preserve energy. He emphasized the potential for tactical shifts like playing Tatum at the five and leveraging Scheierman's shooting and defense to create bigger lineups and more switchability in playoff scenarios.
669: Tatum's Game Missing One Key Ingredient w/ Justin Turpin
Q: What do you still feel like you need to see between now and the third week of April?
Turpin replies that the shots need to start falling, Tatum's minutes have been ramping up with a managed load, and the team needs to see continued scoring efficiency and playmaking as they approach the playoffs.
664: Tatum Should Come Back SOON w/ Cedric Maxwell
Q: Is Jayson Tatum playing again this year?
Yes, the speakers believe he will return this season.
