    Why doesn't Anthony Edwards get more MVP chatter? Incredible clutch player in a much tougher conference in a tougher division. He's always played well in big games. SGA has missed a lot of games and hasn't had many WOW moments, Wemby has missed a lot of games, and so has Jokic, so it should really be Ant and Cade at the top of the MVP discussion.

    JT is far from my favorite player, but boy is it exciting to have him back! The league is better with him and all the stars playing

    It is so refreshing to hear intelligent discussion about how the game is played now and why. My goodness–people are still carping about "taking too many threes" and the game is, as you stated, already a decade past THAT. Also love the cogent assessment of Tatum's impact. I can't even click on the faux discussions about "are the Celtics better off with Tatum?" anymore.

    For anyone reading, if you're looking fora guy who just calls it like he sees it, Jason is a Faker fan (sorry, couldn't resist), I've been a Celtic fan for 47 years (since Bird's rookie year) — and at this point, I couldn't care less. He has sometimes said things I hated to hear (esp. circa 3-4 years ago)…but I always knew were true. He's not Nostradamus, but he absolutely breaks down the what and why of the game the best. I've learned a lot listening/watching.
