We're a quarter of the way into the season, which is a good time to start looking at some trends. John Karalis looks at Jayson Tatum's evolution as a playmaker and why the Toronto game could be such an important flashpoint in his season, Marcus Smart's point guard numbers and why they support him in that starting role, and how the Celtics defense has risen to one of the league's elite.

The Celtics had a pretty well balanced attack tonight with some help from the bench in tonight's win against the Raptors. Marcus Smart was the Player of the Game in my eyes with a team high 21pts while also adding 8 rebounds and 6 assists. We've stressed the need for playmaking and Smart has been doing a great job of that but we also saw a new face lead the team in assists tonight. Jayson Tatum, while he struggled mightily on the shooting front, added 10 assists tonight and was doing it by penetrating and finding the open guy which is exactly what we've been calling for all season long. What made the difference tonight was other guys hitting those open shots like Richardson and Grant. Grant continued to stay hot while adding 15pts and officially becoming a 50/40/90 guy which puts him in elite company. Overall, this was a fun one to watch and we haven't had much of that recently. The Celtics still need to clean up their game a bit because 17 turnovers in any game is way too many but they made up for it by getting to the FT line 31 times. This win is nice BUT can they keep it up on Wednesday as they start a very tough December schedule. This podcast is brought to you by our friends at Venture Greens Nutrition.

After a brutal start to this game, being outscored 38-30 in the first quarter, the Celtics turned it around and torched the Lakers 130-108. The Lakers are not a good team at protecting the paint to begin with but this was one of the most impressive games as far as attacking the paint goes. Tatum, Smart and Schroder all got downhill a bunch forcing easy baskets or kick outs for open threes. I don't want to jinx anything but it looks like Tatum might be back in rhythm which is much needed. I know this is an unpopular opinion and roast me if you want, but Marcus Smart has been outstanding lately and that carried into tonight. On top of a super efficient shooting night tonight ending with 22pts 8reb 6ast on 9-13 shooting, he played outstanding defensively. After Tatum got torched by Westbrook on a couple straight possessions, Smart was switched on to him and shut him down. If you take out the abysmal 1st quarter, this was a really complete game of basketball and we did it without Jaylen Brown and Robert Williams. I know that nobody likes to make excuses for the Celtics but going through everything we have including a brand new coach, new defensive scheme, new roster and Jaylen Brown missing 7 straight games, to be at 8-8 is impressive.

November 16, 2021 Jack dives into the Baxter Holmes ESPN story on long tenured Phoenix Suns owner, Robert Sarver. He dives into many of the alleged accounts of racism, sexism, misogyny that Holmes recorded in his interviews with 70 plus members and staff within the Suns organization (0:45-14:15). After that, he discusses the Bulls dominance including DeRozan's improvement along with his isolation efficiency and scoring prowess, Lavine's leap, and a willingness to buy into roles to win (14:15-24:34). Marcus Smart's comments on Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum's in game decisions and subsequently follows with a conversation about the abilities of the role players on the Celtics and Ime Udoka's questionable rotation and schemes (24:34-34:08). After that he gets into Rich Paul's most recent statement on Simmons' mental health and how the officiating of the game this season has made the viewing product far more enjoyable (34:08-42:11). Finally, college basketball has finally begun and the 2022 draft class is stacked from the likes of Paolo Banchero to Chet Holmgren (42:11-46:22).

After 14 games, the numbers show Marcus Smart's value to the Celtics is pretty high. John Karalis is joined by Tom Westerholm to discuss that, Jayson Tatum's slump, how he can get back on track, and then the step he needs to take to really become an elite offensive player.
