Title: Raptors Weekly Extra Podcast, Dec 9 – Measuring up the Celtics
Date: December 9, 2016
Original Source: Raptors Republic
Synopsis: I hosted the latest edition of Raptors Weekly Extra, talking about the Celtics as a potential threat to the Raptors in the East.
The Extra returns, talking Eastern Conference hierarchy with a special guest.
On this week’s episode, host Blake Murphy brings in a guest from Beantown.
- Michael Pina of, well, just about everywhere
- The Celtics were considered the primary threat to the Raptors as #2 in the East.
- Was this premature?
- How is Al Horford fitting?
- Boston is third in the East, sure, but the Raptors are in a tier of their own.
- Who’s the biggest threat to Toronto, if it’s not Boston?
- Boston is, unfortunately, well equipped to improve.
- Just how valuable is the pick swap with Brooklyn in a loaded 2017 draft class?
- They also have three extra 2017 second-rounders, a 2018 first-rounder from Brooklyn, a pair of extra incoming 2019 first-rounders, and two additional future seconds incoming (they have some conditional seconds owed that are only moderately likely to convey).
- Do the Celtics prospects move the needle enough?
- How dope is Marcus Smart?
- I miss Amir Johnson. What about Jared Sullinger?
