Good signs from Jayson Tatum's shot selection and Gordon Hayward relentless attack toward the basket left some very positive signs for the 2020 Celtics.

Celtics Stuff Live's Justin Poulin and Jon Duke were so glad for Media Day 2019 but things went off the rails fast. Jon brought up Kyrie Irving's answer last week as to why he left Boston and Justin was not interested in discussing it. At. All. In the show's second half, the CSL boys pivoted to some of the optimism surrounding today's media availability. Yet it was Enes Kanter's mention in the outtakes that brought back some vitriol from the show's opening minutes. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In the second half of show, the CSL boys talked about Brad Stevens' interview on CLNS's Good N Plenty podcast with Jeff Goodman. Brad had some interesting comments on what needs to be the focus for the Celtics in 2020 and beyond. Finally, in the outtakes, it was all sushi all the time. And Jon remains a wimp for not being willing to give raw seafood a shot. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Celtics Stuff Live's Justin Poulin and Jon Duke didn't have a whole lot of Celtics news to pour over this week, but Team USA is filing the void quite nicely. A pair of wins against Japan and Greece put the Team USA into the World Cup quarterfinals, but it was the work of Jaylen Brown and Marcus Smart that drew the CSL guys' interest. If Smart can defend players like Giannis from time to time as he did against Greece on Saturday and Brown can rebound a bit, then the Death Squad lineup of Kemba, Brown, Hayward, Tatum, and Smart just might work.  Before wrapping an abbreviated show to watch the Patriots opener, Justin wondered whether players forcing their way out, as Antonio Brown did this week, will become even more commonplace.  Learn more about your ad choices.

In the show's second half, the CSL guys looked further into the Tatum/Brown/Kemba/Smart/Gordon lineup they talked about last week and the needed defensive intensity from that unit to compete in 2020. Last up... in the outtakes... Justin schooled Jon on the value of sushi and what a "Philly Roll" really is. Dig in. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Celtics Stuff Live's Justin Poulin and Jon Duke broke down Tacko Fall's visit to the teacups at Canobie Lake Park before moving on to the Shamrock Team USA's move down under in preparation for the FIBA World Cup. With only a scrimmage against Spain to discuss, it was time to dig deep back into the vault. But first Justin had to completely embarrass himself on the Manscaped ad read. Then in the show's second half, the CSL guys took exception to Sean Grande's comparison on Celtics Beat of Horford's move to Philly to Ray Allen's departure to South Beach. Finally, in the outtakes, it was a revisiting of the Winning Plays' pod discussion of what happened if the Kyrie Irving trade never happened.

Celtics Stuff Live's Justin Poulin and Jon Duke couldn't wait to talk about the Team USA x Team Shamrock crossover and the rookies showing up at Fenway for last night's Red Sox game. However, it wasn't before the inanity of those topics turned to the future of Jaylen Brown through the prism of a pair of CelticsBlog articles which weighed the decision making surrounding a contract extension. Another illuminating article from NBC Sports Boston's Chris Forsberg tried to trace Kyrie Irving's transition from "if you'll have me" to chatting with Spencer Dinwiddie about playing together just 8 weeks later. The Kyrie situation is just about in everyone's rear view mirror but understanding why it went awry is a necessary evil. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Celtics Stuff Live's Justin Poulin and Jon Duke are pretty excited to see the Team USA Celtics compete in the FIBA World Cup in September, but more importantly it will be great to see Kemba, Tatum, and maybe even Smart and Jaylen building chemistry in the pre-season.    In the show's second half, the guys looked at Keith Smith's article on CelticsBlog which provided a heaping pile of nuggets on the 2020 Boston Celtics. From Kemba to Tacko to Tremont Waters, there's a series of good stuff there to chew on.   And in the outtakes the CSL fellas look ahead to fitting the JayJayHay minutes together and then considering the next episode focused on Bradley Beal.

Celtics Stuff Live's Justin Poulin and Jon Duke recapped a successful run through the Las Vegas Summer League that provided a glimmer of positive thought to a dour 2019 for the Boston Celtics. The guys debated which of the Celtics rookies would have the bigger impact in the season to come.   In the show's second half, with Kemba Walker introduced to the world on Tuesday, the CSL guys looked at his impact in Boston. Will he be an immediate fan favorite?

Celtics Stuff Live's Justin Poulin and Jon Duke surveyed the new NBA world order with Kawhi and Paul George with the Clippers and seemingly the majority of the NBA talent set in their new homes. Despite losing a pair of All Stars, and gaining another, the Celtics just might be in a spot where they can make a run toward the NBA Finals.  Doing so requires a lot of help form the rookies chosen in June's NBA Draft, but there are a number of signs of hope from the Summer League games so far. Are there answers for the shallow center rotation? Ummm.....   Lastly, there's some wiggling in the outtake not to be missed. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Celtics Stuff Live's Justin Poulin and Jon Duke were happy with the Celtics' biggest free agent signing in franchise history, but the most impactful moves of the early hours of free agency came when Kyrie and KD joined up in Brooklyn and Al Horford went to Philly.  The loss of Horford stings and Jon and Justin chatted about what the Celtics will do without their anchor. Then the CSL guys looked around the league...  This was a wild one folks. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Celtics Stuff Live's Justin Poulin and Jon Duke picked up the pieces following the trade of Anthony Davis to the Lakers with the CSL guys on opposite ends of this one. Jon's disappointment at the inability to start a prolonged period of Celtics dominance with Davis and Kyrie at the helm remained strong, but the cost of the Lakers deal was so over the top... well, it's hard to be that upset. Justin, on the other hand, was over the moon and can't wait to see how Tatum, Brown, and Smart lead the franchise into a new era. Before wrapping up, we got into a little bit of a draft talk and how the "flatness" of the draft from 4 to 14 or so impacts Boston and their targets. Learn more about your ad choices.

Celtics Stuff Live's Justin Poulin and Jon Duke ran through an avalanche of Celtics rumors of the day starting with the Woj Bomb that the Celtics have entered serious trade discussions to acquire Anthony Davis. Coming just hours after SI's cover story on Rich Paul where Paul states Davis will hit free agency next summer if he's dealt to Boston, the concept of Boston pushing ahead on trading for Davis is seriously intriguing. Then coupling the interest in Davis with Kyrie's questionable future... it's a wild time in the Celtics offices on Causeway Street. Not to mention Kevin Durant's achilles injury and what that does to Kyrie's supposed plans to pair up with KD in New York... in Brooklyn or Manhattan with the Knicks.  Whew.... 1 week till the Draft.   Celtics Stuff Live is powered by betonline.ag.
