Logan Murdock, Raja Bell, and Howard Beck are back with another edition of Real Ones and discuss the return of Celtics All-NBA forward Jayson Tatum. Is it too soon for him to return? Could Tatum mess up the chemistry of a Celtics team that currently holds the second spot in the East? The Charlotte Hornets have been hot since the new year with the emergence of rookie Kon Knueppel and 2023 second overall pick Brandon Miller. How tough of an out will they be for teams at the top of the conference? Plus, did Steve Kerr botch the development of Jonathan Kuminga, who's been thriving in Atlanta?
