It's like when the Spurs could win with Timmy on the post and then run Manu off the bench and he's slashing and they're playing like a different game.

This whole like Spanish pick and roll stuff they have going on with JV.

It is another sort of look that their offense is completely different.

And then when Tatum comes back, they can throw different looks.

It's almost like having different pitchers to throw at a batter.

To your earlier point, imagine Jason as that crashing rebounder coming off the weak side when Jalen's running this current action.

He is such a talent.

He's never got to do that.

I have two questions for you that I'm sure your audience wants to hear you answer about the Boston Celtics.

The first one is what are the streets talking about with Jason, the timetable with this thing?

That's my second question then.

If this guy comes back and he's 85% of Jason Tatum, do they immediately become the favorites to win the Eastern Conference?

Or is it like a Jordan and number 45 Jersey era?

people thought, but, um, well, let me say it for you because I, I made Zach say the Spurs were in pristine shape, uh, the day after Christmas.

And, uh, I'll say it for you.

I think the Boston Celtics are in a very, very strong position if they get 80% of Jason Tatum in March.

I think they're good.

They're good.

They won that tough game last night.

This is kind of where I thought they would be overall, but I've been shocked at how competent their offense has been without Fred VanVleet.
