Frequent guest of the program and fellow Sports Business Classroom alum Scott Levine joins to break down his favorite team. We start by talking about the change in coach and how that's influenced the team's style of play. We discuss Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown's development, Robert Williams' impact and importance, Grant Williams' value and why there's so much divisiveness surrounding him, and we look ahead to potential playoff opponents.
