00:00all right uh jay king who covers the celtics for the athletic hello jay how's it going guys
00:06uh obviously you know of the oklahoma city schedule that's uh yeah their next game is
00:10the celtics there you go uh it'll be well rested it'll be a marquee game everybody available let's
00:17do it that's right now um what did you what have you made of jason tatum since he's been back
00:23yeah i've been just really impressed by just everything he's been able to handle first of all
00:28he's playing 27 minutes a game that's a big number for a guy coming off such a long layoff coming
00:33off
00:33a torn achilles and then you know obviously at times this the scoring efficiency hasn't been there
00:39he's had over six shooting streaks in in each of the two games so far that's fine to me because
00:45he looks like he's moving really well he's had moments where he's burst burst past defender he's
00:51had moments where he's accepted contact and finished through it he's he's moving well laterally
00:57defensively he's able to close out he's able to rotate he's able to do all those things
01:01so i've just been kind of blown away by by how good he looks obviously he's not quite himself yet
01:09obviously there's still rust to work off but but from the standpoint of of coming back with a month
01:16left in the regular season i thought there's a chance this would be a disaster for for the celtics that
01:20it would be really tough to work him back in that that he'd be so far from his normal self
01:25and and instead you know he's looked great
01:27you
01:29you
01:29you
