In this episode, Bob Ryan, Gary Tanguay, and Jeff Goodman recap the Celtics’ start to the season. They discuss what’s gone well so far, including Jayson Tatum’s hot start as he’s averaging 28 ppg so far. But is there too much on his shoulders? Do the Celtics need a big game from Tatum every night to win? The guys break down whether the way the Celtics are using him is sustainable.
Next, they get into the latest in the saga involving Tatum and Jaylen Brown, including the shots fired from the Celtics’ broadcasters about Brown. Is Jayson Tatum innocent in all this? Why does Jaylen Brown feel the need to go after him? Jeff defends Tatum and calls out Brown’s instigating, which he says stems from Brown’s constant feeling of being disrespected.
The guys wrap up with a look around the league, including LeBron’s start to life in Philadelphia, Houston’s impressive start, and more. Then Jeff says farewell to the guys as he won’t be a part of the show on a regular basis going forward. Don’t miss Goodman’s goodbye and another insightful episode of the Bob Ryan & Jeff Goodman NBA Podcast.
