The Celtics.

Yeah, I think they're a contender.

They're second in the NBA in defense. They're the only team that has three players that average over 20. I don't get the deniers on this. I think Jason Tatum is the second best player in the East. Gordon Hayward could give you 22. Jalen could give you 22. Jason Tatum could give you 32 in any night. So I think this is a real team. Campbell Walker could give you 22.

There's no other team in the NBA.

You have four guys that could give you over 20, and you would not be surprised.

It wouldn't be a shocking performance for Jalen Brown.

I also think they have probably the best coach, he and Eric Spolstra, in the East.

Fourth and final hour, Felger-Amez.

So buddy Colin Coward, Fox Sports One, talking about the Celtics and the hierarchy of the league. He went through all the teams in the NBA playoffs or in the NBA invitation-only season

that will continue in Orlando soon, hopefully,

and identified everyone as a pretender or a contender.

He identified the Celtics as a contender, and he says, Jason Tatum is the second best player

in the east right now.

Jim Murray, do you agree?

No, he can get there, but for me right now, I still have Embed ahead of him, and I know that would probably drive people crazy, and I'm not doing it to troll, because I'm not even the biggest fan of Embed. I just think there's a higher ceiling, and just overall, because of the size and just his dominance, even though he's a slacker, I feel like, you know, six out of every team, it's 10 games you'll actually watch him. I think he's just a more dominant player than Tatum is right now. The thing with Tatum that drives me nuts since he's coming to the league is his inconsistency. That started to go away before everything got shut down due to the pandemic. And he really started to look like a completely different player at the end of February. And he was playing more confidently, especially on both sides of the ball defensively. If you go back to that double overtime game against the Clippers, he was awesome against Kauai Leonard. But that was a very small sample size. If I can see more of that, yeah, he would be number two. But for now, he's not to me. So I still think Embed has a higher upside can dominate a game more than Tatum can.

Oh, he's sloppy. He's lethargic, but I don't know. If he gives even like a half of a rat's ass,

he's just a more dominant player just because of his physical skills.
