Celtics Reddit Podcast

What is the objective of this Celtics season? Is it to tank? To be playoff-bound for Jayson Tatum's return? Is Anfernee Simons a keeper or should we be desperately attaching a pick in a trade? One thing's for certain, Celtics fans are completely divided over what's best for the Boston Celtics this year.

Jordan Walsh started the 2nd half, played nearly the whole 4th quarter and ALMOST got it done defensively in the final 90 seconds with his defense on Tyrese Maxey. While the Celtics suffered a disappointing loss in Philly, they can walk away knowing they're seeing some significant role player development while Jayson Tatum recovers. Also covered; Jaylen Brown is freakin' awesome, and Derrick White teased us with a preview of what being "back" might look like.
