Why Dan Shaughnessy LOVED the 80s Celtics

Okay,

that's not bad.

All right,

I guess my last question is.

I'm going to let you finish it and go

ahead.

Okay, no, one more last question, then we'll wrap up.

My question for you, Dan, is for this Celtics team, what's it going to take for them to return to the conversation of championship contenders? Do they, if you had to look into the future, do you see Tatum and Brown leading that team or does something else happen?

I'm not liking what I'm seeing.

I know it's unfair.

And again, we're not in the room.

We don't have boots on the ground anymore.

So when things were going south for the Celtics in 82, 83, I knew that they were done with Bill Fitch.

Change was coming.

You know, Tiny wasn't really what he had been.

There were things that you could see that we were close.

We knew who liked who and all the stuff.

I don't know that anymore.

Maybe Max does, but we're not around these guys.

So I don't know if Tatum and Brown like each other.

I don't know that they're doing what, what young email wants them to do.

I can't imagine that this is what he's teaching, what we're seeing the ISO ball at the end of games and all this, the team really is hard to watch disappoints me.

And I know how great they are, but it's, they're also not as young as everybody says, I know it's 25 and 23, but you're also talking about six and five years in a league now, six and five years in the league, man.

Oh man, you should be MVP by then.

If you're going to be the thing.
