The Double Double

The Boston Celtics have not been very fun to watch this season. There have been some good, hard-fought wins, but also some games with terrible effort from the whole team that ended in blowouts. This episode, we start by being realistic about what to expect from this team this season, and what needs to happen next season to change things for the better. The injury to Joel Embiid has opened up the MVP discussion again, and we try our hardest to make the case that Lebron should not be the runaway favorite, although ESPN and Vegas-Odds seem to point to that being the case. James Harden has been sensational since becoming a Brooklyn Net, and with Kevin Durant sidelined, Harden gets to continue to propel his name into the MVP discussion, along with Jokic and a few others.
