Who starts for Boston Celtics? Can they keep Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown minutes reasonable?



The Celtics head into the season with a lot of questions, and many of them have to with playing time. Which of Robert Williams and Al Horford will start next to Kristaps Porzingis. How will Porzingis actually play next to Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown? Can the Celtics actually keep Tatum and Brown’s minutes down to a reasonable level early in the season. John Karalis of Boston Sports Journal and Jay King of The Athletic discuss all that as they try to hammer out some of the minutes distribution.

    Here’s how the lineup should look:
    Derrick
    Brown
    Tatum
    Williams
    Porzingis

    I don’t blame Joe Mazzulla for bringing Brogdon off the bench he’s injury prone

  5. KWAPT

    White JB JT Rob Unicorn works for me. And damn that looks so good..if these guys gel, buy back into a defensive mindset and get some solid production from Walsh off the bench, watch out now…great to see the man, the myth & the legend Jay “CelticsTown” King. Thank you fellas!☘️🙏🏻🔒

    Mr Karalis you can be sure that our newest players' name has nothing of Portuguese in it, even if he was born in Portugal.

  10. JoeSmpte Bagua Joe

    they didn't know the formula before. it is up to coaching to figure it out. so you just want porzingis to just catch and shoot? this would be a waste of his talents

  13. Jose Santos

    Very good show! I agree with the need to manage JT, JB minutes/effort, too many games in the NBA schedule to play 80% of game time in the regular season.

  15. James Graham

    U can already tell 90% of Celtics fans are casuals whove probably seen porzingus play a total of 20 minutes because they keep listing him at the 5 in the starting lineup when theres absolutely no question hel be the 4

  17. oscar colon

    Play tatum less loss.. whos coming off the bench? Bench is trash we need camron payne or cj warren

  18. Kate Lima

    al horford is too old to keep starting him, last year he was already too slow. he gets destroyed in the pick and roll by short, fast guards it happened all last season. Love al but that hawks series went to 6 largely because of al’s slowness on the pick and roll they took full advantage.

  19. Literally 😷

    You know what wasn’t theoretical. The #1 Defense that went to the Finals the year before last…!

    Joe Mazulla growing into a Competent Coach is Theoretical Porzingis and Brogdon’s Health are Theoretical.
    The potential for Brissette and Banton to produce is Theoretical.

    Joe Mazulla allowing the Coaching Staff to have an impact is Theoretical.

    If your basement floods on a Saturday night and you get a cut down there, just wash it out with water and soap and alcohol😂locked on needs to get their advertisements in order, not Big Johns fault, appreciate all you do, I’m here everyday just for my Celtics buddies

    I can see KP racking up assists in the post when he's backing someone down… if Tatum, Brown, or any wing player dives to the rim on a back-cut
