  • Goodbye

    Been a fan of Celtics since I was 6, ten years later it seems like the end of the line, at this point trade Tatum and Derrick for some younger players and first round picks and make Pritchard the main option. Go get some older guys as well to help mentor

  • Love it boys. However, having the Celtics winning 42 is absurd. Brown, Prichard, White - and that talented bench. I had 51 52 easy, in this conference.

    My point is most had them closer to 42. That's a 14 W swing. That's why I think Jaylen should have won MVP. Results vs expectations.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Mailbag: Trade for ZION WILLIAMSON? | Mitchell Robinson's VALUE
Q: Sean asks about a cage match with an animal to determine the largest animal the host could beat in prime condition.
The host humorously evaluates size and strength, ultimately stating a human in prime condition would likely be outmatched by a chimpanzee and that smaller animals would still pose threats; it's framed as a light, hypothetical question.
Mailbag: Trade for ZION WILLIAMSON? | Mitchell Robinson's VALUE
Q: Jonas asks about NBA Europe beat writers and whether the trip across the pond is feasible for a writer.
The host expresses openness to overseas opportunities but emphasizes staying rooted in covering the Celtics, while acknowledging NBA Europe could open new avenues for beat writers and international fans.
Mailbag: Trade for ZION WILLIAMSON? | Mitchell Robinson's VALUE
Q: Joel T asks about the role of a power forward in today's games and what the criteria and characteristics are.
There is no fixed criteria; positional definitions have evolved. Teams classify players by function—ball handlers, wings, and bigs—so a power forward is more about guardability of bigger opponents than a strict label.
Mailbag: Trade for ZION WILLIAMSON? | Mitchell Robinson's VALUE
Q: Dania asks, do you think you will see many Garza Robinson lineups?
Yes, Garza and Robinson can coexist with staggered minutes, providing rebounding, floor spacing, and a flexible center/forward look, especially if Paul George isn't playing or if you need extra rebounding on a given night.
Mailbag: Paul George DISASTER Scenario & Who makes BIGGEST Leap This Season
Q: Who on the rest of the league might take the biggest leap this season and why?
The host points to wings such as Baylor or Hugo and also mentions Ron Harper Jr., with Ayo Desumu perhaps making a strong case for most improved player in the rest of the league due to breakout potential and increased opportunity.
