Greetings friends. Hope you all had a fantastic weekend. I know I did, but it's time to get back to some outlooks for the

2019-20 NBA season and a fascinating team to start us off this evening the Boston Celtics and

Newly minted full-time athletic writer on the Boston Celtics Jared Weiss is joining us. I do them. Good

You know when there is a pause I thought I had to pretend to be your friend for a second or

second. No, I was I was channeling like Homer Simpson the Robo call to Ned Flanders greetings friend. Do you want to be as happy as me?

Yes, I mean that's really once you start referencing

cartoons from over 20 years ago. That's really oh actually no, I'm sorry 25 years ago now

You can you can really just wow your audience without really going in I can't even count that I'm so hard

All right, let's talk about this team and I think where I want to start here is obviously the addition of

Campbell Walker and

Just what difference is it going to make having him instead of Kyrie Irving because I mean obviously they lost Alhover too

That's a big part of it

But that's maybe the biggest difference that you'd see and maybe the most direct comparison that's possible here

But what's gonna be different from what they get out of Campbell Walker this year compared to what they got from Kyrie last year?

Well, it's funny as prognosticators. It's good that Horde for left because I feel like it would be super easy

predict this team potential if it was just a Kenba for Kyrie swap because obviously with the way that things from the Kyrie last year

or Kenba's a huge upgrade there, but

Is he what why is that because Kyrie's skill set was not really the issue so much as it was just the it was a fit

So I just don't see the I don't really see any of those issues popping up Kenba based on his personality type based on

The his career how it's gone so far. You know, there's just there's so much like kind of buy-in stuff that seems very turnkey for him with the position that he's in the career

That was not happening with Kyrie and you know, maybe maybe it really was as simple as that Kyrie was in a true emotional funk after

losing his grandfather and I mean we've all been there. We know how that is you know, it can really it can't really mess you up
