On this episode of Celtics PRIDE, Adam Motenko, Josh Motenko and Mike Minkoff begin to evaluate the season thus far, especially focusing on the stars and depth. This year’s squad needs Jaylen Brown and Jason Tatum to make a leap and Kemba Walker to get healthy. The crew discusses the likelihood of that future and regrets previous limitations they put on Jaylen Brown’s ceiling. Then they evaluate the new free agents Tristan Thompson and Jeff Teague as well as review Brad Stevens’ evaluation of those players. The guys update Romeo’s return and potential impact and the massive hole on the wing that Aaron Nesmith is simply not ready to fill. They also play the True or False game - Is Tristan Thompson a worse Embiid defender than Enes Kanter? Is Semi Ojeleye an acceptable rotation player for a deep playoff team? Finally Mike and Josh get into another argument about whether leadership and skill development parallels exist between the NBA and the traditional workforce.  

“I appreciate you and your coaching buddies snickering about my comments. I stand by them, to be honest. I think you are being arrogant and dismissive of the fact that the rest of the world probably operates in ways that have similarities to a world that you are thinking is very unique on its own.” - Mike Minkoff to Josh and his “coaching buddies.”
