About this episode

The hosts discuss the Celtics' roster and championship potential, along with recent NBA news including player signings and predictions.

Sherrod Blakely and Gary Washburn are back with another edition of the Big 3 NBA Podcast to discuss the latest scuttle around the Celtics and the latest news across the league. They react to comments from Jayson Tatum’s father, Justin, who didn’t have nice things to say about the Celtics’ roster on “Ultimate Dads Unplugged,” a podcast featuring prominent NBA fathers LaVar Ball, Dwyane Wade Sr., and Marselles Brown (Jaylen Brown’s father). What did he mean when describing the Celtics’ roster? Is he right to be pessimistic about the team’s title chances? Gary and Sherrod weigh up whether the team is championship caliber or not.  Later, they discuss the news from around the NBA including the Pelicans’ signing Bennedict Mathurin on a two-year deal, $16M deal. What can we expect from New Orleans this season? How do they stack up in the East? They also touch on Bradley Beal re-signing with the Clippers on a two-year, $13.2M deal. How will they look next season? Can they do any better than the play-in? Lastly, they react to ESPN’s record prediction for the Celtics next season. Will Boston get more than 50 wins?  Tune in for a thorough recap of the latest NBA topics in Boston…
