Can Celtics Fans Separate Paul George From Jaylen Brown? | Celtics Beat

Celtics radio voice Sean Grande joins Adam Kaufman and Evan Valenti on Celtics Beat for a wide-ranging conversation about Boston basketball, broadcasting, and the upcoming season. Grande reflects on 25 years calling Celtics games and what it means to document the history of one franchise across multiple generations. The guys also examine how the Jaylen Brown trade will ultimately be judged, why Boston’s postseason success will matter more than anything that happens during the regular season, and the pressure facing the Celtics after consecutive playoff disappointments. Plus, Grande weighs in on the difference between being a fan and being a homer as a local broadcaster, the debate surrounding different announcing styles, and how the job has evolved. Later, the crew discusses Paul George and Mitchell Robinson joining Boston, the value of the Clippers draft pick, the NBA Cup, and whether the league’s schedule should ever change. 0:00 Intro 3:30 Sean Grande on 25 Years Calling the Celtics 7:00 Broadcasting, Perspective & Celtics History 14:03 PrizePicks 17:25 Evaluating the Jaylen Brown Trade 26:05 Fan vs. Homer: How Broadcasters Call Games 36:40 Paul George & Mitchell Robinson Join Boston 49:50 Clippers Pick & Kawhi Leonard Fallout 54:50 NBA Schedule, NBA Cup & Calendar Debate 1:01:40 Final Thoughts & Outro Celtics on CLNS Media is Powered by: 💰 PrizePicks - Sign up at http://prizepicks.onelink.me/LME0/CLNS & Download the app today and use code CLNS to get $150 instantly in Lineups if you win your first $5 Lineup!
