  • 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.

692: Could the Celtics EXTEND Paul George w/ Brian Barrett
Q: Is there a realistic path to Paul George extending with Boston?
Yes, but it hinges on how well the team performs, George's willingness to commit long-term at a controlled rate, and whether Boston wants to lock in a single-year high-salary structure or distribute money across a couple of seasons to maintain flexibility.
692: Could the Celtics EXTEND Paul George w/ Brian Barrett
Q: What's the biggest allure of adding Paul George to this Celtics lineup?
The potential for a high-end pairing with Jason Tatum that emphasizes efficiency, three-point shooting, and ball handling, while giving Boston a veteran scorer who can alleviate some of the playmaking and load management concerns, provided the age and fit are managed thoughtfully.
691: How Mitchell Robinson COULD BE the Next TimeLord w/ Bobby Manning
Q: What were your main takeaways from the Payton Pritchard interview?
Pritchard is focused on increasing his free-throw attempts to elevate his scoring punch and maintain efficiency, while continuing to improve ball control and decision-making. The hosts note his growth in mid-range work and his ability to handle higher offensive loads, though there is nuance about maintaining consistency versus relying on peak games.
688: Celtics Eyeing Steph Curry? w/ Sam Sheehan
Q: What is the Celtics' long-term strategy under Missoula Ball?
The Celtics are aiming to reset around their core, manage cap space under the repeater tax, and keep flexibility to target a future star by leveraging TBEs and trading assets rather than making one blockbuster move this off-season.
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.
