Colin is joined by Jason Timpf, host of “Hoops Tonight” to break down the Celtics win over the Mavericks in Game 3!

They start with the Mavericks inability to match up with the Celtics (4:30) and Jaylen Brown’s ascension to a 2nd tier superstar in the league (7:30). Then they focus on Luka Doncic being a complete liability on the defensive end of the floor (13:00) and why it’s nearly impossible to win a title when your star can’t hang on defense (23:00).

Next, they discuss why Jayson Tatum is the perfect star for this Celtics squad (25:00) and why we’ve possibly underestimated how great Boston is (27:00).

Finally, they discuss the life and legacy of Jerry West  and his impact on the history of the league (32:00) and why the Celtics were just too good NOT to win the title this year (43:00)

Colin is joined by Jason Timpf, host of “Hoops Tonight” to break down the Celtics win over the Mavericks in Game 2!

They start with the series being terribly lopsided in the favor of the Boston Celtics (3:30) and why two straight Boston wins have shown that Jayson Tatum isn’t the alpha “get a bucket” guy that’s necessary for the Celtics to win the series (8:30) 

They both predict the series will be over in five games (10:30) and Colin predicts that despite their dominant performance so far, Boston won’t be a dynasty (15:00).

Finally, they debate whether Dan Hurley will take the Lakers job (22:30) and whether it was a mistake to leave Caitlin Clark off the roster for the Olympic team (27:00).
