The Celtics PRIDE team recaps the past two games vs. the Cleveland Cavaliers to bring the team to 7-7 on the year after going 5-2 in the last 7 games. The Celtics PRIDE guys discuss the team’s style of play and propensity for isolation scoring and thus a lack of ball movement. “For the love of Celtics Pride, I need some ball movement in my Celtics. I need my Celtics to play together as a unit and play like a team instead of this ‘my turn your turn basketball.” - Josh Motenko (@coachmotenko) Is this iso style of play contagious?

Mike (@mikeminkoffnba) counters with the tale of the tape of the Celtics recent defensive teamwork - demonstrating why fans should be excited by the Celtics recent play on that end of the floor.

Then the pod clarifies the language that had been used on on recent episodes regarding Jayson Tatum’s mental toughness. The conversation turns to talk of “grit,” “resiliency,” and “avoidance.” THe guys geek out on psychological definitions, referencing positive psychology definitions from Angela Lee Duckworth.
