Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 1006: Overreacting to One Week of Celtics Basketball
Q: What would be your grade for Jayson Tatum?
Jack gives Tatum an A, citing his strong performances after the season opener, while Sam agrees with the A grade.
Episode 1006: Overreacting to One Week of Celtics Basketball
Q: What do you guys think about Pritchard and do you think I'm being fair to him?
The hosts agree that Pritchard can struggle against long, athletic defenders, but say he should still be able to contribute against top opponents in the playoffs. They value his shot creation and commitment to improving, while emphasizing that four games are too small a sample for a firm judgment.
Episode 1008: What's Going On With the Celtics' Centers?
Q: After having been one of the league's leaders with only 19 personal fouls per game last year, the 26th personal fouls per game this year is a surprising trend. If the trend holds, do you think this is just a small sample size, lack of communication on defense, or maybe a symptom of trying to create more turnovers, possibly a mix of reasons?
Jack attributes the increase to players learning the new defensive system, the effort to create turnovers and individual mistakes, including fouling three-point shooters.
Episode 998: Devin Carter Was Just One of Celtics Preseason Successes
Q: Will the Celtics keep playing an aggressive defense that pressures ball handlers and attacks passing lanes throughout the season?
Jack says the approach should be more sustainable because the team has added rebounding strength and defensive playmakers, while Sam says the preseason has shown the group's defensive system working together.
Episode 998: Devin Carter Was Just One of Celtics Preseason Successes
Q: Why has the team not extended Luka Garza?
Jack explains that Garza is not eligible for an extension because his initial contract does not meet the three-year minimum, but the Celtics could offer him a new contract next summer.
