Will the Toronto Raptors surpass the Celtics in the East this year, or will Boston stay annoyingly good? w/ John Karalis

The Boston Celtics traded Jaylen Brown this summer, but they're still gonna be annoyingly good, aren't they? In Episode 2178, Sean Woodley chats with John Karalis (Locked On Celtics) about the Celtics' eventful offseason and whether there's any hope that their run as an Eastern Conference contender comes crashing to an end this season. Off the top, they chat about why Boston is so predictably going to be a regular season wins machine again even after trading Jaylen Brown to their closest rival for a pittance, and whether their playoff ceiling is worthy of skepticism. Next, they chat about the Brown trade, why it happened, where it leaves the franchise, and whether Jayson Tatum is ready to assume the full time position as Boston's Guy. Lastly, they chat about which Celtics are the most likely to annoy Sean by being way better than they have any right to be, and how they stack up with the Raptors in the loaded Eastern Conference.
