The Celtics Are STILL Contenders + Remembering Don Nelson

Like we mentioned, the sp- the Celtics schedule will be out on Thursday.

All three of us actually will be at a journalism conference, which is why we're recording so early in the week.

But anticipating what that schedule will look like, what are you two hoping to see from that?

I'm hoping that we see the players that are gonna be driving this league sooner rather than later.

Like, I wanna see those really good match-ups, uh, like San Antonio and New York.

I wanna see that early.

I don't wanna wait till, like, January 14th before the first time those two...

I wanna see that in the first few months, or Christmas Day or something like that.

But I, I just think the league has an opportunity to really create some great marquee match-ups that have lots of intrigue, uh, earlier, sooner rather than later.

And I'm just, I'm, I'm curious to see how they're gonna make it all work together.

Uh, 'cause there's some great match-ups.

I mean, m- match-ups that we're not even, I think, fully embracing are gonna be good.

Uh, I, I look at a team like, for example, the Atlanta Hawks, for example.

Uh, that's a team that I think there's some very interesting storylines that are gonna be developing.

The Washington Wizards, uh, what they're making them.

Uh, and, and obviously the team that we, you know, know the most about, the Boston Celtics.

You know, what are they gonna do in this next phase of their evolution? Uh, you know, where they, they're obviously, so there's some new me- pieces added to the mix, some new pieces no longer in the mix.

How is all this gonna come together? So there's a lot of really good potential match-ups that I think the, uh, the schedule makers can put together, and do it in a way that kind of wets the palate a little bit sooner rather than later.

Yeah, I think the good thing for Celtics fans is that the Celtics are kind of out of, out of, like, schedule probation.

Where last year when they didn't have Jason, they got, like, the ow- uh, the overlook.

They got the Charlotte schedule.

They got the, they got the Atlanta schedule.

They got the Wa- like, they got the like, yeah, whatever, you're one of them other team schedules.

But now with Jason leading the way and, you know, kind of a revamped team, Mitchell Robinson, they're gonna get, probably get back to that marquee schedule.

So Christmas Day game.
