What are the implications of Tatum's Achilles injury?
Well, I mean, I think the big thing, Juju, is already there were question marks, right? We were already, before the Celtics went down 3-1 in a series, now 3-2. Now, with a Jason Tatum ruptured Achilles, that changes everything because it's like, all right, we're definitely not going to be probably championship contention worthy next year. I know they're going to give it their best this year, but the reality is the East has gotten better over time. And losing an MVP caliber player like Jason Taylor, you just can't just recover from that. And you're paying the highest payroll in the league. So I think they're going to have to make some hard decisions. And then, like I said, hard decisions that were already on the way, but kind of accelerated by this injury.
You know what this reminds me of, Juju? It reminds me of the 2019 Warriors, right? They had so many deep runs into the playoffs and then they just physically were falling apart. KD, Klay Thompson. And they had to take a step back, the Warriors as a whole. Yes, KD left. And, you know, with this team, maybe you move on from Jalen Brown. Maybe you don't, but you can still sort of it's not it's like a breather. It's a little bit of a reset. Yeah, you do a little change a couple of pieces here and there, but know that your main guys effectively need like a year to breathe like that's what it is need a year to like take off the.
How do the Celtics move forward after Tatum's injury?
the championship pressures and physically to take off the physical pressures and then sort of reset, sort of come back refreshed in 26 and see, you know, maybe a couple of new pieces, but they know the formula can get them championships the same way the Warriors did. And, you know, they came back and won it in 2022 with different pieces around Stefan Draymond and Clay.
Hell yeah, bro. Speaking of pieces, I'd like to give a shout out to one of the biggest pieces in Boston Celtics lore right now. Luke Cornett, my brother, you got my heart and soul. You feel me? I don't know about soul.
I don't know about soul, but he's got heart.
Okay, he got my heart. I can't give you the soul yet. But I don't know. I was looking at him like, damn, young Bill Russell out there tonight. Couldn't Google him. But yeah, man, look, the surrounding pieces in Boston right now, they definitely should, in my opinion, be all a little bit worried about their future in Boston just because of what you're saying.
