I'm covering the Celtics for Boston Sports Journal, and I've been covering the team for about 20 years now. And just this is a tough one. This is a tough news day for the Celtics. You know, Celtics history has a lot of defending champions who. Or championship hopefuls who suffer tough, really just devastating injuries. And this is one our worst fears were confirmed with Jason Tatum suffering a ruptured Achilles. I'll talk about that, talk about what's next. And in the third segment, I'm totally going to channel my inner competitor, my inner former player, and total rallying cry for game five. Objective objectivity goes out the window. Game five is my mindset if I'm in that Celtics locker room. So that's later. Right now, it's Jason Tatum, who had surgery on the ruptured Achilles tendon. We were waiting all day Tuesday. I was traveling from New York back home and waiting to see if that news was going to drop. And it dropped very late in the day. And everybody's speculating why. And the reason kind of ends up being because Tatum was in surgery and they wanted to give the update after the surgery was over. Successful surgery. According to Adam Himmelsbach of the Boston Globe, the surgery was done right away because that tends to yield the best results. Achilles surgeries recoveries tend to have some pitfalls along the way. And so getting this done, giving it the best chance of full recovery and the fewest setbacks, this was the way they wanted to go. And so the good news is surgery is done. It seemed to go well. Successful full recovery, all of that stuff is what they said. So what's that mean for Jason Tatum? Well, it's going to be a long road, right? It happens. He had surgery now on May 13th. What the absolute, absolute best case, nothing goes wrong scenario is Tatum is 27 years old. He's in phenomenal shape. He is a tireless worker. He hits every one of his marks right away and as soon as possible. Right after an Achilles surgery, there's a two to four week window of when do you start moving and like just light, just light pressure on, you know, with a boot and crutches, Tatum would have to start at two weeks. That four to six or eight week window of walking without the crutches, gingerly with the boot on. Tatum would have to start that at four weeks. Every one of these stages, walking with the boot, walking without the boot, starting to do light, you know, light work, your rehab, your, you know, working with the bands, doing a little bit of light jogging, whatever those milestones are, Tatum in, in the best case scenario has to hit them all at the earliest point. There is, there is a non zero chance that Tatum, in the ultimate best case scenario, still makes it back December ish, which would be seven months. Okay, it's May 13th, seven months from now. I, I've been saying the holidays kind of almost like Christoph Spruzingis coming back Christmas ish. Best case scenario. Now, best case scenarios rarely happen, but again, Tatum is 27, he is in phenomenal shape. He is in absolute peak condition, peak healing powers, peak everything. It's not out of the question. And also, by the way, one of the world's elite athletes with the power of an NBA franchise and his own multi, multi, multi million dollar bankroll to put every bit of anything possible behind this recovery. So you have the likely scenario. But there is a world where in his prime, mega athlete, mega fit, Jason Tatum heals faster than a normal human being. Right? And I'm thinking about these instances when I think it was like Bobby Hurley, remember Bobby Hurley got into, I think it was a motorcycle accident or a car accident. He ended up face down in a ditch. And the doctor said the only reason he even survived that was because he was an elite athlete. Elite athletes have a, their bodies work slightly differently than ours. You know what I mean? Uh, I am now an aging sports writer who eats a breakfast sandwich in the airport. My body is not recovering the same way that Jason Tatum, 27 year old, with every advantage at his disposal can heal. So the best case scenario is not out of the question. The more likely scenario, the seven, eight to nine month scenario that gets you into January, February. Well, all star break is February. Now you go right around February, maybe you start to get him back a couple days off, work him back in, take the all star break, think about it, feel it out, see what the plan is and use the rest of the regular season as a ramp up for whatever playoff situation the Celtics are in. That's, I think the most likely scenario. And I'll talk about what the Celtics could be in next season. I don't want to move too far ahead, but this is, this is where we are right now. I don't think it's out of the question. And there are people who are going to be like, why bother? Why bother? Well, first of all, Tatum's going to want to play. So we all have to accept this. Tatum is going to want to play and I think it's to his advantage to go through, obviously he's going to go through all the rehab. When he's ready to play NBA basketball, he should play NBA basketball, he should come back because you need to get your confidence back. You need to get your. Your wind back. You need to get your feel back. You need to get all that stuff. And even if the end of the season is a sort of. Let's just pretend the Celtics aren't even in the playoff picture, maybe it doesn't matter if they're in the playoff picture or not. Maybe they are. First round exit, second round exit. Whatever it is, you got to get Tatum back. The. The mental part is going to be my biggest worry. The mental aspect of trusting your body. This is like, it's. It's one thing to. Tatum's going to put in that work. He's a tireless worker. I trust him to do every step, every bit of the work, to physically be ready to play. If for nothing else, I need to see him back at some point next season just so he can work that confidence back, so he can trust his body. His body betrayed him here. He took a step. He is. He has been durable. He's been damn near indestructible. And he takes this one step and his Achilles pops. And now it's like, oh, damn, my body just gave out on me. He needs to get that confidence back. He needs to be able to step onto a court and play and go through it and forget the injury and play through whatever mental hurdle there is, if there is one, there may not be one. But make no mistake, coming back from a devastating injury, a catastrophic injury, there is a significant mental element to that for a lot of players. Tatum needs to make sure that he is not one of those guys. And so as much as I'm looking forward to him being back at some point next season and some semblance of himself, I think he can come back and be basically Jason Tatum again. He's too young. I know that this is a tough injury, but he's too good. He's too good to come back and be half of what he's been. I'll explain why I think he can come back and be exactly himself, and we'll talk about what's next for the team when I come back. Today's show is brought to you by Wayfair.

They got the whole league covered on the NBA Lockdown NBA channel. Game night's got the games covered. I'm there on Fridays with Jake Madison. These playoff games are nuts. You need somebody to make sense of it. That's what we do over there at Lockdown NBA Game Night. So go check that out. Two podcasts on the Lockdown NBA feedback. All right. I think Jason Tatum can still be himself. I think being 27, it's, it's young for an Achilles injury like this. Being 27, I think, and, and also he's not reliant on his, like, athleticism. This isn't if this happened to Anthony Edwards, for example. I think it would be like a question of, okay, well, how, how, how is he going to be able to, is he still gonna be able to dunk on people? Is he gonna have that same lift? Tatum is not a, you know, he's not using his athleticism like crazy. And also he's not ne. I keep saying, play off of two feet. He's not, he's not really a two foot jumper. He's a one foot jumper. And because he's right handed, he jumps off of his left foot. So that's not going to be tremendously impacted. It will impact his explosion somewhat. But he, like I said, one foot jumper, jumping off your left foot, the right foot's not going to be that, that's not that big of a deal. So it's not going to impact some of his drives, dunks, that kind of stuff. I think, I think the way he plays, the style that he plays is, is less reliant on explosiveness. So I think his youth, his fitness and his game will make it so that he's, he's. I think he's got the best chance out of anybody who could suffer this injury. Tatum's probably got the best chance to come back and be close to or exactly what he was before the injury. Now what's the team going to be now? That's going to be the question. We don't know. And I don't think this changes a lot. The Celtics are not going to react to next year and say, well, we don't have Tatum now. That means blah, blah, blah, this can go, that can go, that can go. It may influence, you know, one decision or two. This, they may say, well, this, this guy that we're hoping to keep for maybe one more run. Well, next year is not going to be the run without Tatum. So maybe that's, maybe that's how they make a decision and maybe that influences a move. But I don't think that I, I was asked online about, do you, you know, rip it to the studs, trade everybody and try to rebuild? I, I just don't think that's, this is not the time to, I think, throw it all away. I think it's going to be a creative summer for Brad Stevens. Brad is, I can't even conceive of what Brad Stevens is cooking up right now. But we know the team's going to be different. But the team is also probably going to be good. No matter who they keep, they don't have to trade a lot of people but they have to trade a couple of people and a couple of things with that one. I think the guys that they trade, Holiday, probably maybe Porzingis. Well, Porzingis has had probably the most disappointing series here. I think a lot of fans are like, okay, it was fun, Kristaps. But this, this, this series in particular has got a lot of emotional reaction and you can't shake the fact that the Celtics got him for this, this series especially is a perfect example of why they got him. And if he's not able to produce and he wasn't really a huge part of last season's run, it's like, well, you do well in the regular season when you're available, but, you know, is it worth it? So there, there are questions there about who might come back, but what at least one of these trades gonna have to return somebody, you're gonna have to get players back in, in one, at least one of these deals, maybe one can go into somebody's cap space or exception or in a multiple team deal. There could be something that worked that works out and, and it really cuts a lot of salary. But I feel like those moves. Holiday, we're at the tail end of what he's been, been able to give the Celtics. I think they've gotten most of what they're going to get and you have to, you have to come up with a different plan. Porzingis, you've probably gotten most of what you're going to get and you have to come up with a different plan for him. If you keep Jalen, if Jalen wants to, you know, I, I assume that. I don't know what to assume with that situation, to be honest with you. I don't know what's going to happen because there's going to be a lot of big names moving. A lot of big names moving. So at this point, I think that's a conversation I'm gonna have to save for, you know, a two or three person podcast where we can really talk through Jalen and what, what he's going to want. And it really, I think boils down to what he is going to want. So, and I have no basis, by the way, I'm not saying this as a reporter that I've heard things. I just am at the point where I do question what he's going to want. But obviously if Jalen, if Jason is going to be out for most, at least half or most of next season, maybe Jalen wants to stick around and be like, okay, let me show you what I can do. In Boston stick around and, and be the centerpiece of that. Maybe that's, maybe that's appealing to him and he becomes the centerpiece of the team and Tatum becomes kind of a supporting piece as he returns from injury. There's, there are a lot of different directions the Celtics can go, but it's, it's still a playoff team regardless. Whoever they keep, whoever they give up, I think the players that are going to stick around are still a playoff team. Now, where in the playoffs they land, obviously depends on a lot of different things. If Giannis gets traded away from Milwaukee, what does that look like? Do they. Do they do a deal with Dallas and get the number one pick and send Giannis to, to Dallas and give Dallas a complete win? Now team that entirely possible. So Milwaukee drops out of the playoff mix and somebody else ascends and whatever. Maybe the Celtics just float in the middle there. Cleveland, who knows what happens with Cleveland. Orlando could has potential. A lot of these other teams have potential here. Indiana, it's, it's going to be a wild off season regardless. I still think wherever the, whoever the Celtics keep, that's going to be a playoff team. And when you add Tatum, it's going to be a playoff team that has a puncher's chance. So I wouldn't be surprised if next season because of everything the Celtics drop to, I don't know, fourth seed maybe, and it would be a tough road. But if you get a fourth seed and Tatum is coming back right around the All Star break and rounding into form to start the playoffs, this podcast could be about, hey, Tatum and Brown, you got them back together. Tatum's at his full powers, Brown's been awesome all year, and you got this, this and that. With you, who knows what the team looks like, but you've got this team together. Maybe they can make a run. So Tatum coming back, whatever the Celtics do next year, I still think there's a reason to bring them back. On top of the mental stuff, top of all that there may be an actual playoff winning type of thing and you want to win, you want to make these playoff runs. I, you know, this is not an all or nothing thing. If you're sitting there saying, like, well, we're not going to win a championship, so why bother? Like, no, you go and you play and you hopefully win a series or two, maybe you make a crazy run, maybe you become this year's Pacers or whatever. I don't know. I don't know. We don't know what this, I don't know. What these years Pacers are at this point I'm doing this during the Pacers in Cavs game which is, oh, it's a one point game. Back and forth in the fourth quarter, whatever this year's Pacers become, whatever, it doesn't matter. I'm going off the rails. There is a reason to bring him back. Whatever's next for the Celtics, I think bringing Tatum back is worth it whenever he comes back. Unless it's a full year and it's the middle of the playoffs and then at that point that's not the situation you want to bring about. That's the only scenario where you know, they, they make it out of the first round without him and he's like ready to go in the second round. I don't know if that's, if you want to throw him in, in that situation. Well, look, whatever it is, I'm talking like this season's over and it's not. There's still a game five to play. And you know what? It's time for me to put on my coach's hat, my captain's hat. It's time for a rallying cry for these guys. That is next. Today's show is brought to you by Car Gurus.

The Celtics still have a Game five here to play and everybody is acting like this series is over, like the season is over. And I understand why. Okay, I'm turning off objective journalists, covering the team from the most unbiased place that I can cover it from. Now I'm in the locker room now. I'm the team captain or a coach. Everybody's treating this season like it's over. Everybody's showing you Boston Celtics. Everybody's showing you that they don't give a damn about the rest of the players on this team. Jayson Tatum is not the only player. He's the best player. He's not the only player. They're acting like Jalen Brown doesn't exist. They're acting like Al Horford doesn't exist. Derrick White, Drew Holiday, Kristaps Porzingis. Everybody's acting like that group is just toast that the Knicks are going to walk into the TD Garden in that group of players is just going to go roll over and die. Now I get it. They've not played well in these four games, they played well once. They actually played well for long stretches of these four games. But two four quarters and a quarter and a half in game four just started to fall apart. Okay? So that is enough to throw out everything that. That you guys have done. Is that how you're gonna go out, Jalen Brown? Is that how you're gonna go out? This is your opportunity. This is your chance to go out there and show everybody. You are the Boston Celtics. You are the champions, Plural. Everybody on that team is a champion. Everybody on that team knows how to play basketball. Jalen was the finals mvp. You've got former All Stars. You've got all defensive players. Whatever is bothering you, you got to put that aside. You got to find something within you. You got to find that thing that is going to push you for 48 minutes. The Knicks. The freaking Knicks. You're gonna let them come into your home floor? You're gonna roll over and die because Jayson Tatum got hurt. You think Jason Tatum will be happy? That dude is sitting there in a hospital bed. He's gonna be watching that game. He's gonna be devastated. And you're gonna show him what you're made of by rolling over and dying and letting the Knicks, letting Carl Anthony Towns just punk you like that. Are you kidding me? Who the hell are you guys? Show them what you have with Jaylen Brown. You play faster. You move the ball. You actually play at a pace that is better. You can move. You can put them in bad defensive positions. You have a bunch of guys who can score. You don't need Jayson Tatum to score 100 and something points. Now, Jason can help you score 125. Doesn't mean you can't go out there and score 115. That people can't make up some of the difference. You think just because Jayson Tatum is gone, yeah, he's your best player. He was having an all world game in game four. But you know what? The rest of you guys were letting him down. Don't let him down anymore. Pick him up by winning game five. Then you worry about game six. You worry about game six after you win game five. You don't have to win three in a row. You have to win one freaking game. You have to win one game. That's game five. That's Wednesday night. Move the ball, play fast, play some defense. Know what the scouting report is. Pay attention. Don't worry about your knee or your illness or anything. You are professionals. You are elite athletes. Put it out of your damn head. Go out there and show Boston, show the NBA, show New York what you're made of. And then after that, we'll worry about the rest. You just worry about game five. The whole world thinks you are done. The whole NBA thinks you are done. Your obituary is written and ready to publish. You gonna let them publish it? It'd be really disappointing. It'd be really disappointing if you guys rolled over and died. It would mean that I was very, very wrong about this team. And I don't think I'm that wrong. I've been wrong before. I'll be wrong again. I don't think it was that wrong. I thought you guys had more heart. Show your heart. You can still win this game. You can still win this series. It's the Knicks. You can beat the Knicks without Jason Tatum. You can beat who's next without Jason Tatum, because you have a deep roster with great players and a great plan. Show your heart. All right, that's my rallying cry. Look, I think. I think this team can. They can put it together, and maybe. Maybe the loss of Tatum will be enough to get them focused, right? Maybe the loss of Tatum is the thing they need. That smacks him in the face and says, okay, we've got to play perfect. And they. They have that attention to detail, because even the guys who are left with that attention to detail, they can still win. It doesn't look good. There's no doubt about it. The objective side of me says, of course, you're down 3:1 and you haven't looked good. And if the Knicks get rolling, there's no reason to trust you to look good anymore. So I can't sit there and objectively say that the Celtics are going to win this series. It's 3:1. The Knicks are rolling. They've got a ton of confidence. And I'm sure. I'm sure the betting odds, and rightfully so, are picking the Knicks because the Celtics look lost, and they've lost their main. Their main guy. But the competitor in me, basketball player in me, if I'm sitting there and I'm hearing all the stuff that's being said about me, I ain't going out like that, okay? Jalen said it the other day, you gotta beat us four times. Not twice, not once, not three times. Four. Right now it's three. So do what you can to not make it four, and we'll see. Maybe my next podcast will be previewing a game six, and I will go back to New York and Madison Square Garden with its stupid rules, kicking people out and they think they're so great over there at Madison Square Garden. I'll be happy to go back. I'll be happy to come back here for a Game seven. I still have faith that the Celtics can do it, but right now it's more faith than objectivity. Thank you for listening.
