Straight Fire w/ Jason McIntyre - Celtics Should Can Their Coach, Don't Blame LeBron & Kyrie to the Lakers?
On today’s episode, Jason and Super Producer Rob G start things off by discussing what went wrong for the Boston Celtics in their Game 3 blowout loss to the Miami Heat. As impressive as Miami was, the bigger story here is how inept the defending Eastern Conference champion Celtics have looked in this series. If and when Boston gets eliminated, it's clear that big changes are coming to Beantown. Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown and Marcus Smart aren't going anywhere so all signs point to rookie head coach Joe Mazzulla getting the axe after just one year on the job. Later, J-Mac hits us with a deep dive into the state of the Los Angeles Lakers as they too find themselves on the brink of elimination. Tons of Lakers fans want to blame LeBron James for their team being down 0-3 but the truth is it's their role players (D'Angelo Russell and Jarred Vanderbilt) who have let them down in this series. All of this leads to only one logical question heading into the offseason: Would the Lakers sell off all their newfound 'depth' in an attempt to acquire the mercurial Kyrie Irving? Only time will tell.
