Murray, what are you expecting from this team this year?
00:01
As long as Jalen Brown and Derek White remain healthy,
00:04
they have enough to remain competitive in an Eastern Conference.
00:07
In an Eastern Conference, I don't feel that strong about it.
00:10
I don't know how you can.
00:11
Like, Cleveland's the prohibitive favorite,
00:12
but I don't really think all that much of them in terms of winning a title.
00:15
But the Cavs being the favorite, fine.
00:18
The Knicks, okay, they're probably better than the Celtics right now,
00:21
but not by much.
00:21
And from there, Orlando, Detroit, young, plucky teams,
00:25
are they better than the Celtics?
00:26
I don't necessarily think so.
00:29
From there, the Bucs, what's Giannis, how dialed in is he going to be
00:32
when it feels like he wants to leave that team?
00:35
The Heat, the Hawks, Sixers, they're all beat up.
00:39
I'm supposed to believe that Joel Embiid is now healthy.
00:41
Like, the Celtics will be in the mix.
00:43
They should be, at worst, a four or five seed.
00:46
And at best, I could see them being a three seed this year.
00:49
McCarthy, the national expectations are way too low for this team.
00:52
My expectations are high for them.
00:53
You know, high considering they are going to be missing their best player
00:57
for the majority of the year,
00:58
and who knows what he's going to look like coming back.
01:00
But right now, they have the eighth best odds to win the East.
01:03
They're probably the fourth best team in the Eastern Conference.
01:06
Like, they're right in the middle of that pack.
01:08
Their over-under is 41 and a half.
01:10
They're significantly better than that.
01:12
Like, my expectations are that they will be not the best team in the East,
01:17
but certainly right in the middle of the pack,
01:19
probably four or five somewhere in there,
01:21
and let's see what it looks like when Jason Tatum gets back.
01:24
Like, my expectations shouldn't be any lower than that,
01:27
and I don't think Celtics fans should have any lower expectations than that.
01:30
Like, this team is still good enough in a weak Eastern Conference
01:34
to be right in the mix, and that's what I fully expect from them.
01:37
And anything less than that is a disappointment.
01:39
So you've probably seen, and you have too, Mike,
01:41
some of the national hoop heads saying, like,
01:43
well, they'll probably be a play-in team.
01:45
What am I not seeing?
01:46
Me neither.
01:46
What am I not getting?
01:47
I don't.
01:49
And are we collectively overrating?
01:51
So is it we're collectively overrating Jalen Brown and what he can be,
01:54
and can he be a true number one?
01:55
Are we overrating Derek White?
01:56
Maybe.
01:57
He's my favorite player on the team.
01:58
I like the role players.
02:00
Like, we think that the coach and coaches in the NBA are probably overrated a bit,
02:03
but he does get buy-in from these guys,
02:05
and they're battle-tested.
02:07
They did win a championship.
02:09
Some of this core is still here,
02:10
including the most two important parts with Tatum out right now
02:13
in Brown and Derek White.
02:14
I don't get it.
02:15
The talk of them being a play-in team to me is nuts.
