After the Tuesday conversation regarding minutes, a closer look at the full minute distribution reveals that the 8th-12th guys are going to be fighting for precious few minutes. What does that mean for Payton Pritchard, who has been talked about as getting a lot more opportunity. John Karalis of Boston Sports Journal discusses that, Sam Cassell connecting Paul Pierce and Jayson Tatum (a stroke of genius), and whether there should be actual concern over Malcolm Brogdon’s relationship with the team.

☘️☘️ late night Locked on Celtics 🙌
Any idea when media day is John? Thanks! ☘️🔒
Is Al going to play back to backs this year?
Not being able to get Pritchard minutes will be one of the saddest what if’s for our fan favorite role players.
I believe Sam hauser will get at least 20 he played really good and even played over grant Williams allot. Also remember he doesn't turn the ball over almost. Also Tatum loves passing to hauser and hauser held his own on defense really good.
I always thought, Brogdon was under used.
Your calculations. that only leaves 27 minutes per game playing time for the players not in the top seven, are based on every one of the top seven not to miss any games. We all know that is not going to happen. If we add up the minutes per game for the roster from last season, we arrive at 330 minutes per game. So that’s 90 “extra minutes” per game because of players missing out games.
If we take look at our top seven players, and assume that they will miss the same number of games as last season, we arrive at these figures:
Tatum (34.5 minutes) – missed 8 games, so a total of 276 extra minutes to cover
Brown (34.5 minutes) – missed 15 games (517.5 extra minutes)
Porzingis (30) – missed 17 games (510 extra minutes)
White (32 minutes) – didn’t miss any games (probably won’t happen again this season)
Williams (28 minutes) – missed 47 games, but let’s be optimistic and say he will only miss 15 games this season (420 extra minutes)
Horford (28 minutes) – missed 19 games (532 extra minutes)
Brogdon (26 minutes) – missed 15 games (390 extra minutes)
In total we are talking about 2,645.5 extra minutes over the season, or 32.3 minutes per game to be divided between the other players. So we are talking more like 60 minutes per game for the rest of the players on the roster rather than 27.
Wednesday! Bonus pod on locked on NBA
Sam understands the importance of using the moment to your advantage. Sam is awesome great addition to the unqualified Joe.
Sam is a Coach not a Dr. Nobody can help him but retirement…!!! It’s time Rob, Al, & Brogdon hang it up…!!! If Rob only plays 40 or so games again this season it’s time to move on…!!!!
Horford will be conserved for the playoffs. There will be more than 27 minutes to give out.
I hope Payton gets some opportunities. I’ve seen some of his workout videos in the last week and he is so good. Love to see him get a chance! And it’s the only jersey I have so far. P-Rabbit🏀
As long as our core is locked in we should have big leads by the fourth quarter, which will hopefully open up more minutes for the bench

Thanks John ☘️
As an avid watcher of this channel and with the season ramping up Im going to put in a user request to add timestamps to your videos this season. If Jaylen brown has to work on his dribbling then you have no excuse to not up your youtube game. At least have a time stamp that bypasses the introductions and starts right when your start talking Celtics.
IF not no big deal Just as an avid viewer of this channel I would greatly appreciate a timestamp. I would love to be able to click your video and click past to the exact spot where you start talking Celtics.
This might also help with retention of younger viewers who are not going to sit through a long introduction and be clicking around the timeline trying to find where you first start talking Celtics.
Your argument is incomplete. You can’t do this baes on 240 minutes per game. You need to start with 19,680 total regular season minutes for a full season. For example, last season Jaylen played 66 games. If you multiply that by 34.5 mpg like you mention that is 2,311.5 for the entire season. If you divide that by an 82 game season it’s actually only 28 minutes a game per 82 games. That’s an additional 517.5 minutes throughout the season. That’s 6.3 additional minutes per game. Prichard averaged over 13 mph last year. I can easily see a formula for Prichard playing 60+ games this year and averaging close to 20 mpg.
I imagine PP will get low minutes unless he shines during the games the other PGs are out.
Other than KP, Sam Cassell was our key offseason addition. I’m truly excited for him to coach the Jays. Toughness, craftiness, 3 championships, several HoF teammates, etc…he has complimentary qualities to Joe. He’s less analytical and more intuitive. Best yet, KG heralds Sam as the vet that made him value vet leadership. That’s where my hope lies: Sam could potentially develop the Jays’ leadership and selflessness.
Tatum & Brown needs to become DOGS, spend time with their team memebers, one thing people forget is that a CHAMPIONSHIP TEAM MUST BE A TEAM!!!! everyone of you talk talk talk, how many times have any of you talked about that they need to be a True Team…these past few years, it's been the Jays, where is the TEAM IN THAT!!!
Paytons minutes will come on back to backs and injuries.
