Celtic Chalk Talk: Bulls Blowout, Role Player Breakouts, and Roster Dreams Around Tatum’s Return
Episode Description
In this episode of Celtic Chalk Talk, lifelong Celtics fan Steve Purciello breaks down Boston’s easy blowout win over the Chicago Bulls and what, if anything, we can really learn from a “tank-mode” opponent. He highlights standout performances from Jordan Walsh and Nikola Vukovic, explains why Anfernee Simons feels like a true Celtic, and explores how Boston might creatively keep both Vukovic and Simons under the rising cap next season. Steve also goes player-by-player through the current roster, assessing upside, roles, and future fit if Jason Tatum returns healthy for a Finals push.
