The trio discusses COVID-19 details faced by the NBA, from how positive tests and other COVID-related information is publicized to addressing whether teams with more COVID-positive players give them some sort of immunity silver lining. They then share thoughts on how Kemba Walker looked in his return to play for the first time this season.

In a season when unsung players are having big games around the NBA and getting opportunities they wouldn’t have otherwise, the Celtics PRIDE team delve into whether we are seeing this happen as much with our Celtics squad. They then judge whether 1st round draft pick Aaron Nesmith is getting enough playing time in this environment to play through his mistakes.

Mike questions whether hiring people in business is equatable to picking and adding draft picks to an NBA team, before sharing some advanced stats on the two-big lineup of Daniel Theis and Tristan Thompson in a Celtics PRIDE favorite segment “Talk Nerdy To Me.”
