But I will be back when they play. Was it next week on a Saturday? So bonus podcast free podcast Monday through Friday. Daily podcasts. They're Everywhere shows on YouTube. Get into the comment section. Share your thoughts with me. John Corralis, Beat Writer for Boston Sports Journal I've been covering the Celtics for about 20 years now. I've been doing this podcast for 10, and I've written a couple of books about the team. Today we're opening up the mailbag. I haven't done a mailbag in a while. Later on we'll get to NBA surprises and why do these wins matter at all? Should they matter at all to fans? In the second segment we'll get into a starting lineup should Anfrey Simons get into the starting lineup and talk about finding a big in the second segment. But let's just start off with the question. I think this is a popular question for a lot of people. It's a question that I I've asked Joe Missoula myself. It comes from Dave. And these questions can come in@john corrales.com mailbag john corrales.com mailbag that's how I get all the questions. So submit those wherever, whenever you want to ask a question. I will get to them as, as soon as I can. So okay, Dave asks. They told us before the season that they'd be running all the time, but they're last in pace. Why did they lie to us, Dave? They didn't lie to us. They're just not it doesn't look the way we thought it would. And so I know that, you know, when I talked to Josh Minot, he said we might be the fastest team in the league. I think we got everybody got caught up in this, this difference potential difference of like, wow, the Celtics were a really slow team last year and what maybe they can be like this super fast team. I think we all love the idea of such a stark difference. And training camp was all about running up and down the floor and working and, and Joe really pushed these guys hard. Everybody to a man was like, this is a very difficult training camp. And that's it's all true. I think reality hit them in the face a little bit. And first of all, you need to rebound. You can't just get steals and run off of run off of those. They do get steals and they do run off of those. The Celtics have increased their transition opportunities. That's absolutely true. They have played faster in that regard. They, they can't Force turnovers. On every possession, they have to get stops and then they have to clear those rebounds when you get the stops. And that's part of the problem. You're not clearing away rebounds when you get some of those stops. So that holds them back. We've talked about this, talked about it yesterday, talked about it over the weekend. Jaylen Brown, I think, got a little dose of reality, like, oh, my God, this is a lot more work than I thought it was going to be. Being the main option. It wasn't just about getting the ball, pushing it up, getting into transition, laying it up, get back, play your defense. There's, you know, when you're, when you're taking the ball out of the basket, when you have to play not just 20 seconds of defense, then they get the rebound and it's not a putback, you can go play another 10 seconds, you're playing more defense than the other team, generally speaking. That takes a lot out of you. And then Jalen has to come down and be the, the primary option where everybody's trying to stop him and that he, he isn't playing as fast as I think he thought he would. And I understand that when you know that you're gonna come on down and, oh, God, I got two, three guys trying to stop me. But, you know, maybe it's Derek is. Is cold and Peyton is cold, or just the way the offense is playing, the way it's running, it's. It's. You have to be the one that, that, that takes this shot. It. It wears on you. And you, you are going to walk the ball up a little bit more when you have to do all of that work. So that's all part of it. And then on top of that, there's less talent on this team. So I just wrote on Boston Sports Journal a whole big video breakdown, because at practice on Thursday, they were talking about there's a lot of layers to the offense now, and they have been running a lot more intricate sets. Well, when you're in the half court and you're running an offense that includes Jordan Walsh and maybe Josh Minot, maybe, you know, just guys that you can help off of. Right. Like the Celtics over the past couple years, you couldn't help off of anybody. Now you can help off of guys. You can send more help towards Pritchard and White and Brown. And so it's not just, hey, let's run a pick and roll, because if you want to pick and roll, they're just going to get blitzed and you. That, that could End up being like a turnover. The Celtics are great protecting the ball, but if you're constantly getting blitzed and then you don't want to turn the ball over, you have to. You have to get a little bit more creative in how you run your offense. And so that plays into some of the playing slower in terms of possessions and pace, in terms of how many possessions you get per 48 minutes, where the Celtics are at 96 and change. So they're averaging less than 100 possessions per game. They're one of few teams that are averaging less than 100 possessions per game right now. The whole league is playing fast, so. And that's also part of it, that they don't look like they're playing as fast relative to everybody else. They're not running teams out of the gym because everybody's running right now. But back to the point about the half court offense, they are playing with pace and tempo. They are moving the ball and cutting and doing a lot of things. But it's taking 15 to 20 seconds to get some of these sets, to run some of these sets. And on top of that, you've played Orlando a couple of times. They're a slow team. You play the Clippers, they're a slow team. There are some slow teams that make it difficult for the Celtics to pump up their own pace. So many different factors that go into this bottom line is maybe we shouldn't have expected the super fast up and down flying. Like, you know, like the 60s Celtics, where you're putting up 160 points and you're getting, you know, 110, 120 field goal attempts. They don't always have that opportunity. They have had some games where they put up over 100 shots, which is great. I love when they put up more than 100 shots. That's such a great number for them. It's just hard to do. So I think now, 15 games into the season, maybe we should reset our expectations about. It's not about playing fast in terms of running up and down the floor and in like seven seconds or less type of offense. Like, they're not. They're not Mike d' Antoni's sons. They're. They are a different team with some ISO guys and fewer guys that demand a defensive attention. And so Jalen, and to a degree, Peyton Pritchard, Derek White, they all have to work harder. It's. They're not built to rebound as well as they need to rebound. And that has to be a problem if they fix. But that's slowing things down. There are a lot of factors slowing them down, but they are playing with decent tempo for, you know, a lot of the game and they are forcing a lot of turnovers and they are doing other things. They are crashing and they, they are a top 10 offense right now. So we need to be the ones, I think, to reset our expectations. It's not the Celtics that need to play even faster, although they will naturally play faster when they can rebound better. And I mean that, that's like the number one thing. If they can start rebounding better, they will naturally start playing faster because their first shot defense is pretty good. But they're not going to materially change their offense to play like the Miami Heat, right, or the Chicago Bulls. They're going to be who they are and they're going to be at the bottom of the league in pace. And that's just. I think we have to accept that it's not the Celtics that are going to change because there's not much to change. What can you change? So it's more about just executing better than it is about running up and down the floor a little bit more. So we'll come back and talk about a potential trade target. Where do the Celtics find their next big There are names that are being bandied about. I'm gonna throw out one that I don't know. I'm just gonna take a wild stab at it. That's coming up next.

Mailbag questions go to john corrales.com mailbag like Ted who sent in it. I know I'm crazy for thinking this and you probably don't want to put it on the pod. Yes I do. Yes, I do, Ted. I'm going to try to speak this into existence and see if it looks possible in a couple of months. The Clippers are in a free fall and they don't have any picks for a few years. Boston needs a center when Tatum comes back. If the Clippers continue to slide and decide to rebuild, is there a way to get Vita Zubac? So, I mean, there's always a way. If two teams are motivated, there is a way. Now, can they pull off a trade? There are always going to be obstacles to trades. I don't think they're going to be able to pull up a, pull off a one for one type of deal because those are just becoming incredibly difficult nowadays. You have to match salaries directly and to get Zubotch at 18 million, you could potentially get, you know, you could do assignments thing. But are they, if they're rebuilding, do they want Anthony Simons as a rebuild? They're going to want somebody else? I don't know. The answer is I don't know because if Zubotch becomes available, my feeling is that there are going to be teams with better, younger players that might interest the, the Clippers. To get Zubac from the Clippers, you're going to have to give up multiple first round picks and multiple young players and you're going to have to match the salary. And maybe they say, hey, we'll take back Simons. You know, if we get, I'm just throwing names out, Ugo Gonzalez and you know, all of your picks for however long and, and you know, maybe I don't know who else they would need. Would they need like Derrick White is great, but, you know, is he too old for. If you're hitting a rebuild, is he the guy you want to go around, go like, you're not giving up, you're not going like the Jalen Brown route for. You want to keep Jaylen Brown in this scenario to pair him with Zubac. So he's an interesting name. Absolutely. A lot of people are talking about Zubac as a guy. I think that, yes, he's a game. He could be a game changer for the Celtics. How do the Celtics get him is the question if the, if the Clippers are truly rebuilding, what young players do the Celtics have where the Clippers are gonna be like, yes, yes, yeah, we'll take him and him and him. I don't know. I don't know. The Celtics draft picks, they have all their draft picks, but if you've got Zubacs, then, well, Next year's pick, you know that that pick isn't going to be worth much. You have to, you're gonna have to start offering picks like four or five years out. That's going to be where the value is. I don't know how the Celtics do it now. You might be able to swing a three team, four team deal. My feeling is that the Celtics aren't going to be doing a direct. Brad Stevens wants a center. I am shopping for a center. I am getting him. They are. We are dealing exclusively with the other team to get our center. And that's how it's going to be. Like a traditional trade. I don't think that's how the Celtics end up getting their center. I think the Celtics end up getting somebody by helping facilitate a bigger deal. And I, I'm like looking. So the Clippers are certainly in the mix for that. Memphis, New Orleans, you know, any of those teams at the bottom are potential trade targets, right? So if the, the Memphis Grizzlies, let's say, decide to move John Morant and let's just say the Sacramento Kings want to get John Morant and they're trying to figure out how they can put that together. Well, the Celtics have the Anthony Simons salary that they can say, all right, if you want to help, if you want help matching, we'll send Anthony Simons out. We. But we want something in return. Is there a way that the Celtics can get, I don't know, Santia from the Grizzlies like that would be. He's. He's 7 footer, 6 11. He can shoot a little bit. Does he, does he move the needle a ton? I don't know. He. He kind of fits a little bit of what the soldier, I think. And if the Grizzlies are moving jaw, they're hitting, they're hitting a reset button. Santi Aldama is 24 years old. Is he, is he part of that reset or is he somebody that they'd want to give up? Can the Celtics offer some, you know, enough compensation to get him maybe throw draft picks somewhere? First round pick somewhere, two first round picks somewhere. I don't know. I'm not good at putting, putting fake trades, the actual trades together. But what I'm saying is if a team like Memphis look at like Memphis, Milwaukee, Atlanta, New Orleans, Sacramento, look down these rosters of teams blowing it up and I know it's exactly what was happening with the Zubotz thing. But my feeling with the Zubotz thing is that, that you're Moving Zubac for something like he's the prime guy. My point is the Celtics, I don't think they're going to trade for the prime guy getting moved. I think they'll be getting an ancillary piece. Can they find a big somewhere in that ancillary piece situation? And so that's why I've kind of like, I'm not targeting Santi Aldama. I'm not saying that it's possible. I'm not saying that I think it should happen or could happen. I'm just throwing a name out there on a team with a star that could, that can get traded and that's a center where if the Celtics say we can help facilitate this, how can we end up getting Santia out of this deal, you know, or somebody like that? That's how I think the Celtics get a center. That's how I think they get their guy. Chris asks, I wonder what you think about switching Simons and Pritchard in the starting lineup. We know Pritchard thrived as a six man last year, Simons as a starter. Just wondering if we could shake things up for them in a good way. So I, I have thought about this a lot and I, I do think that there's a lot of merit to this. One thing that I've, I believe now is that there was no way while Pritchard was struggling that this was going to happen. People were suggesting this before because it's, it was. The narrative was becoming, well, Pritchard can't be a starter. Look at how much he's struggling with this. He's not a starter. He's a six man. He's struggling against first, first teams, first units. I think Joe Missoula loves Payton Pritchard, and I don't think he would do him like that. Pritchard is starting to come around. I think let this go for a couple more weeks. Let Pritchard really come around, right? See if Pritchard can really go on a little bit of a heater and have all of that he's not a starter talk go away. And then once that goes away and people just accept like, no, you know what, he was just a little cold to start the season. He can be a starter. That's when you make the switch. That's when you say, okay, now that he's proven that he can be a starter, now you can be like, okay, now Peyton goes to the bench because this is just, this is just a basketball move now. I'm not benching Pritchard. I'M actually doing something that helps the team because Anthony Simons would be more comfortable. And Pritchard, who has established that he's a starter now, can say, like, hey, I'm just doing the right thing. Pritchard comes off as the hero a little bit because he'll go back to his starting role, even though that might be a role where he's even better. So I, I like the idea. I have always liked the idea of starting Anthony Simons. I think getting him going early when, when Jalen sits, Simons can kind of take over that role. I just like him finding his way a little bit more. Pritchard does know how to come off the bench. And so let Pritchard, let Pritchard just re establish himself. Let, let him erase all that he's not a starter talk. And once that happens, then we can go, we can make this switch. All right, let's come back. We'll wrap up the show. We'll talk about surprises. We'll talk about why do these wins matter? Should they even matter? All of that is coming up next. Today's show is brought to you by Prize Picks. This you and I, we make decisions every day.

John Corrales
Thank you for making Lockdown Celtics your first listen every day. Lockdown NBA game night should be your second listen. Game night has every game in the association covered seven days a week. I was on last night because I switched nights because I'm going to hang out with Jake Madison this weekend as he gets married. So but we're there seven days a week. It's a lot of fun and it's, you know, keep up with the association you listen to. Lockdown Celtics lockdown NBA game night. You got your whole league covered. Let's wrap up the mailbag. Johncarales.com mailbag to to submit your question Ramirez from Mexico I didn't mean to say I, I'm trying to actually say that correctly. What happened with the Kawhi Leonard investigation? That's in the NBA's hands. That's, that's why it's quiet. The NBA is like, I think everything that's been reported is like, that's everything. And now the NBA is trying to confirm all that stuff. So we'll see. They are not in a rush, tell you that much. The All Star Game is in LA at the Clippers Intuit Dome. They are not going to do anything. We're not going to hear anything before that All Star Game. They're not going to ruin that. So wait. We're waiting and seeing. Also question why is everyone so fixated in each particular game? Don't you think the season is about experimenting and trying to get the mess the best out of the team that we have? Yes, it is about experimenting, but also the wins are important. We want to see who helps the team win and we want to see like the games are about winning and losing. The Celtics aren't tanking. This isn't a bunch of rookies. We, we aren't like I listened to the locked on nets after the last game and it's, it's all about guys that haven't played because you know they should let them play through things. That's not where the Celtics are. The wins matter. The Celtics are too good to be at the bottom. We've seen how bad the teams are at the bottom. They're going to be middle of the road, slightly above that. Right? That's kind of where everybody expects them to be. 40, 40, 44, 45 wins. Maybe, maybe not. Who knows? But anyway, the wins matter because we need to see. Does Josh Minot help them win? Does Jordan Walsh, Lugo Gonzalez, Sam Houser, Luca Garza, Namishkeda? Do these guys help them win on a consistent basis with this new makeup? So you still need to be kind of paying attention to the wins, but I think there's potential for figuring things out with you. You. Let me. Let me rephrase that. You gotta. You gotta figure out. You just gotta figure out who can help you win that. That's it. Who can help you win. And it's. The losses aren't killers. But look, we want to see them win, right? Like, if they win, it's fun. It's fun to watch a win. So there's that. So that's it. Rod wants to know if it makes sense to bring back KP next year, considering he's on an expiring contract. Look, if he, if he comes back on a. I don't know what he. What he would go for. I like Porzingis. If he wants to come back on a cheap deal, that is commensurate with the lack of games. Sure. But I'm not. I'm not paying him a lot of money anymore. Like, it's just at this point, I. I think once a guy's gone, he's gone and he can come back and. And be a part of it and. Sure, but it would have to be on a cheap deal. Chris says, let's see, now that we're a month into the season, what other teams have really surprised you this year so far, for better or worse? And of those teams, do you expect them to even out or to even out more, or do you see any surprise runaway candidates developing at the top or the bottom? So I think, obviously the biggest surprise is the Detroit Pistons at the top of the league. That they are incredible. And I just. I thought they'd be good, but 13 and 2 didn't expect that. That's a surprise. The Toronto Raptors are a little surprising, I think. I thought that they would be in that mix with the Celtics, and at 10 and 5, look, the Celtics are 8 and 7. They could be 10 and 5. They win the Utah game. Right? That's. That's a game they could have won. They blew the Sixers game. That's. That's two right there. That's 10 wins right there. 10 and five. So the Celtics could be in that mix, but The Raptors are 10 and 5, so that, that's a little bit of a surprise. So that's good. In the west, just the. The Clippers are a surprise at the bottom. I would expect the Clippers to level off some. I would expect the Raptors to come down a little bit. I would expect the Pistons. Look, the Pistons aren't going to win 87% of their games, but they're good the. The Cavs. I'm surprised that Darius Garland. Is that that big of a deal. Like, they don't with Darius Garland. They look amazing for what, a couple of games without them, it's just. They're kind of lost. So that's. That's a surprise. Who else? I'm surprised that Orlando is struggling a little bit. I thought they'd be a little bit better offensively. The spurs, who just won again and beat Atlanta at 11 and 4. I know Wemby's hurt, but I didn't think they'd be this good already. But that's Wemby for you. So how is it going to shake out? I'm a little surprised that the pelicans are 2 and 13. That bottom of the West. I think the Jazz will drop. I think Portland will drop a little bit. I think The Suns at 9 and 6 are. Are a little overperforming. So I think the bottom will. Will be a little bit more of the expected. Like the Clippers will climb, but I don't know how much they'll climb. The. The Pelicans, the Kings will be down there. The Jazz will drop. They'll find a way to drop. No doubt about it. They don't want to be. They don't want to be. 5 and 9 is, like, surprising. They're the 10th seed, but they don't want to be there. So. Yeah, and then that's about it. Those are my surprises. Up and down. Ted says. Oh, wait, Nope. That's. That's the same thing. Sorry, Ted already asked this question. All right, well, that's it. So thank you. I'll wrap it up there. Those are my NBA surprises. And yeah, thank you, John Corrales dot com. Sorry, I had another question here, but it was Ted's question from before, so I, I'm. So I had another question that I was going to get to, but nope, I copied. I copied one over twice. And so that means I'm wrapping up the show, which is good because we're 33 minutes into the show and that's the right time to end to end it. Thank you so much. This is just a smooth finish, man.
