On this episode of Celtics PRIDE, Josh Motenko, Mike Minkoff and Adam Motenko discuss the Celtics first three games of the 2020-2021 NBA Season including the win against the Bucks on Jason Tatum's bank shot three at the buzzer, the blowout loss to Brooklyn and the loss to Indiana on another last second three attempt by Tatum. The guys compare Jason Tatum's development and clutch shots to Paul Pierce in his early prime and explore why Brad Stevens chose not to design a play at the end of either game. They pointed out how this choice might be very intentional on Brad Stevens' part for the purpose of player development and may be connected to his increasingly striking public comments. The PRIDE team takes an initial temperature of other important developments in the early season such as Jaylen Brown and Marcus Smart's play, the "twin tower" starting five with Theis and Thompson. They also gush over Payton Pritchard, talk about why Aaron Nesmith isn't in the rotation and Coach Josh theorizes on the legality of the pick and seal play that has been a staple of the Celtics' offense for years and occasionally gets called for a foul. - Learn more about your ad choices.
