You can tell when someone is a true fan when they start name dropping random old Celtics. And his mentioning of Tommy ❤ I miss him

Funny guy and solid fan. Agree with (most) of the points on Marcus and Grant (well, more on Marcus. I think Grant's act–and yes, it's an act–wore thin)…but I also think they ran their course with the team. I continue to laugh at people talking about the C's "needing to get more" for Marcus. In what world or multiverse is Kristaps Porzingis not a HAUL for Marcus? I hear Trot Nixon's available though–we might give him a call. Look, there's obviously a possibility this doesn't go well…but…let's play some games before we start fretting, and I think, at the end of the day, we'll realize Marcus' leadership and intensity were, sorry, OVERrated.
Isn't it also possible that Brad himself DID "resolve" the KP incident in his mind (a guy as thorough as Brad didn't dig on this? He did) and simply decided not to bring it up (for, I think, fairly obvious reasons).
Worst episode.
Zesty Clovers 🍀
Great guest John. Josh was indeed entertaining and glad he's a Celtics fan!
I love his 3 pt heaves that cost us game after game- and his zero champiosnships- I will miss them
That was a hilarious ending, would love to see an animation of it 🤣
Josh is great. Learned a lot about comedy. Go Markus Smart also.
Anyone who’s glad Smart is gone Does Not Know Basketball.
Great conversation!
