Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ranking Hate/Thank-Watch Candidates for Celtics Fans
Q: Is there any chance at all that Coach Joe Missoula is fired after the season? What will he have to do for that to happen?
For Joe Missoula to be fired, the team would have to have a very poor performance, like winning sub 25 games with key players healthy, while showing no development in the team.
Ranking Hate/Thank-Watch Candidates for Celtics Fans
Q: What is more likely to happen throughout the course of this next full season? Four three-point made attempts from Namius Kata or Jordan Walsh averaging 11 points per game?
Namius Kata is more likely to hit four made threes if he's allowed to shoot one a game, while Jordan Walsh averaging 11 points requires a lot more consistency.
Predicting where the Celtics will land in the East this year
Q: If Tatum comes back at the end of the year, is there any chance at all that we can have another miracle season?
While there is a slim chance that the Celtics could perform well if Tatum returns healthy, the current roster issues and injuries present significant challenges.
The Definitive Celtics Draft Night Preview (w/ Ben Pfeifer)
Q: How do you evaluate prospects as a total prospect evaluation noob?
It's good to hear from someone who knows what they're talking about, focusing on Celtics needs.
Jason Timpf on the Celtics' Position Among the NBA's Top Teams
Q: Would you say that Tatum fans are more sensitive compared to fans of other players?
Boston is a passionate sports city, so while there might be some sensitivity, it’s not overwhelmingly out of bounds compared to typical sports fandom.
