Jayson Tatum Is Back and the East Might Belong to Boston

Jayson Tatum is officially back and the entire Eastern Conference might have a problem. After nearly ten months away recovering from an Achilles injury, Tatum returned and immediately helped the Boston Celtics beat both the Mavericks and the Cavaliers. The guys break down how impressive Tatum’s return really was and whether Boston just became the most dangerous team in the East again. We also look at what this means for Cleveland and whether their defense can actually slow down the Celtics’ wings in a playoff series. If Boston is getting this version of Tatum back before the postseason, the Eastern Conference race may look very different than it did a week ago. Later in the episode the conversation shifts to the Los Angeles Lakers and whether the current roster actually works around LeBron James and Luka Dončić. There’s also a discussion about Luka’s leadership and defensive concerns, Victor Wembanyama continuing to change how the regular season feels in the NBA, and Bam Adebayo reaching the 10,000 point mark with the Miami Heat.
