Fresh off a dominant win against Memphis, the guys dig into where the Celtics actually stand after an up-and-down start to the season. What begins as a temperature check quickly spirals into talk of tanking theories, draft-day daydreaming, and Jordan Walsh’s downright filthy defensive stretch. They question whether Boston is overloaded with defense-only role players, why Joe Mazzulla keeps rolling out identical defensive clones, and how all of this ties into the team’s sluggish offensive identity.

The episode also hits on why the Mavericks firing Nico felt inevitable, what’s behind the Celtics’ offensive stalls, and how the team’s chemistry is shifting week to week. From a coaching-corner breakdown to the increasingly real argument for resting or even benching Jayson Tatum, the conversation covers every angle of Boston’s current conundrum—plus plenty of laughs along the way.
