In today’s episode, I’m joined by Jared Weiss of The Athletic to discuss the Boston Celtics' performance and strategy in their opening game against the Indiana Pacers. We explore Game 1's hard-fought win and speculate on the team's ability to continue their success in Game 2.
We touch on player matchups, bench strength, adaptability and dictating terms of engagement. Jared also shares insights on the importance of the veteran presence, Tatum's and Brown's roles and the Celtics' defensive strategies.
