The Celtics Pride Team -- once again -- takes a look at and tries to make sense of the Celtics' recent poor and inconsistent play after frustrating losses to the Nets and Hornets.
Building from that, the crew examines Celtics upcoming schedule, as well as those for the Knicks and the Hawks, to figure out whether the Celtics can -- and should -- prioritize rest, repetitions, or seeding (and avoiding the play-in) over the remaining 11 games of the season. Will Kemba start playing both ends of the remaining 3 back-to-backs? Will Tatum, Brown, or Smart be able to sneak in any rest days? Will the Celtics fall to 7th or 8th in the Conference??
Finally, Adam, Josh, and Mike discuss whether the Celtics poor play is a function of Brad Stevens being too S-O-F-T as a coach, in reaction to the label being applied by Jalen Rose on the ESPN post-game. And... if Brad Stevens *is* too soft, what's the fix?

“Tatum obviously is exhaustion candidate number one. It looks like he needs three days off… and we’re obviously not gonna get that” - Josh Motenko
