00:00so jason tatum according to some online reports might be coming back as early as friday which is
00:07way ahead of schedule a lot of us thought the entire season then some people thought outside
00:12shot because he didn't have the surgery right away and because he's a gym rat and doing everything
00:17he can to get back on the court that maybe we'd see him a couple weeks before the postseason
00:22and then the soldiers have a tough decision on their hands mess up the chemistry which has been
00:27great you know they're the two seed right now in the east with a couple game lead over the new
00:32york
00:32nicks for the three seed or did you obviously bring back a guy when healthy who's your best player
00:37now jaylen brown's become the face of the boston celtics and he's a he is having a mvp level year
00:45but it's interesting tatum's been playing five on five ball and there's a chance he comes back friday
00:52against the dallas mavericks now some people would say why mess up the apple cart i'm the two seed
00:59i got a great coach other people say if your best player's ready he can make the team worse
01:07of course you bring him back of course you bring about here's the tough part it's not to me about
01:11the basketball part of it okay because they're a two seed but i don't believe they can win a
01:16championship as is and i don't think they can beat the pistons or the knicks in a seven game series
01:22as a five game series yeah maybe not a seven game series right and for that reason i understand the
01:28basketball part of it and i think at least this season he would fall in line it's jaylen's team
01:35for now i gotta fill in and see what maybe you take him off the bench maybe he's on a
01:38minutes limit
01:39whatever it is but you know you would who'd be the better player in the league off the bench
01:43than if the celtics have that kind of depth to go to jason tatum for 25 minutes again and you
01:48can
01:48stagger their minutes there's a lot you can do the concern is if you're wrong health wise because
01:55your window's wide open with those two guys still maybe for four or five more years to possibly win
02:01more championships with tatum and brown together but if he was to come back and it's too early and he
02:07was to re-injure it yeah now you could basically detonate that window and that to me it's not a
02:13basketball question it's he's coming back quicker from this injury than basically anyone yeah by a
02:18couple months by the way right than anybody yeah if you're right you can win a championship
02:22right just give you an idea what tyrant's talking about use kevin durant when kevin durant signed with
02:27the nets he left golden state that was after tearing the achilles and everybody knew we're signing a
02:32guy that's not going to play yep he sat out on entire year before then starting the next year
02:39with the brooklyn nets right that's the norm that's the norm now i give tatum credit it's one of my
02:43big
02:43pet peeves when a guy gets hurt and then waits three months to have the surgery and effectively takes
02:49himself out of the possibility of coming back early he had the surgery the next day and this video online
02:56you can see for yourself where he's in his doctor's office saying doc i'm not coming back to be a
03:01role
03:01player i'm coming back to dominate and be me and there's a chance he's back this weekend
