Celtics PRIDE: Instant Reaction to Minnesota Loss

Adam and Mike give their rapid reactions after watching the Minnesota Timberwolves beat the Boston Celtics. This may have been the worst loss of a season with many strong candidates for that distinction. Some Celtics are back from Covid, others are now out. Jayson Tatum missed this game after entering covid protocols but Minnesota played the end of their bench and replacement players and came back to take the lead in the 4th quarter and never looked back. Adam and Mike discuss the concerning trend of 4th quarter collapses, even including Head Coach Ime Udoka’s comments on the matter. Meanwhile Jayson Tatum is leading the league in 4th quarter scoring and the Celtics are one of the worst teams in the clutch. Are those two things causal or correlational? The guys talk about Romeo Langford and Payton Pritchard’s ascension amidst the rubble of covid replacements and disjointed team construction and hate the minutes Juancho Hernangomez is getting to simply miss 3s. Finally they answer the question, would you sign Isaiah Thomas?
