Episode Description from the Publisher

Chris Forsberg is joined by Brian Robb to preview the upcoming Celtics season. They discuss preseason power rankings, and they explain why they’re both still very high on the Celtics despite a turmoil-filled offseason after trading Jaylen Brown. They also discuss how the team will be able to fill Jaylen Brown’s shoes. Will Paul George pick up the torch as the 2nd scoring option? Or will Derrick White bounce back from his down season last season? Plus, they look at who might be the biggest X-factor on the team. Finally, they predict Boston’s starting lineup and discuss whether Payton Pritchard should start or come off the bench. 0:00 - Intro3:26 - Where do Celtics rank heading into next season?6:33 - How do Celtics fill Jaylen Brown’s shoes next season?12:37 - Who will be the biggest X-factor for Celtics?15:07 - What will Celtics’ starting lineup look like?
