Brian breaks down yet another close Celtics loss, why this team can’t seem to win these tight games, and Tatum and Brown’s inconsistent play (0:30). Then, he chats with The Ringer’s Steven Ruiz about the Patriots’ offense, their offseason additions, Bill O’Brien as the new offensive coordinator, and Mac Jones as he enters his third season (23:00). Brian ends with a mailbag question, and then recaps the Red Sox’s series against the Phillies (58:15).
