Thanks for listening!
There's no time like playoff time. This year's NBA postseason is rife with matchups for the ages. While the smoke clears in the East and West semis, Coach offers his two cents on what we've seen so far, and what's in store. Before you ask, yes, he believes the Celts can go all the way.
Other highlights include:
-the art of the tank by none other than OG GM(!) Gregg Popovitch
-The GM Masterclass put on year-in and year-out by Danny Ainge.
-It wouldn't be Neighborhood Rules without Coach insisting that we eliminate free throws.
You know it's gonna be a good one when Coach opens up with rant on Rondo.
Other illuminating topics include:
-Final Four recap: Things we love and hate.
-A new segment about the refs that we're calling: "Former player? Or State Cop?"
-History lesson on the origin of Strategic Fouling. (Spoiler alert: it was 1983).
-Further evidence that the point-guard is the most overrated position.
-The myth of the four-guard offense
-The rise of the new big man: Karl-Anthony Towns, KD, Giannis, The Brow, and The Unicorn
Coach Healy debriefs us on a Super Bowl upset fueled by Chip Kelly's old playbook. Other topics include the NBA pipeline that extends all the way down to the Prep School level, and the names of future talent that will ring out in the days to come. And we can't forget Coach's favorite topics: outlawing the dunk and raising the rim to 12 feet!
Coach Healy sympathizes with Boogie's recent season-ending injury, explains why the Celts match up well with the Warriors, and lays out a simple (and realistic!) five-point plan to cleaning up the corrosive influence of LOWG's in today's NBA.
