Sam and Jack are back with guest WayneBreezie! The guys talk about the team's six-game winning streak and what the key contributors have been in turning this season around. They also discuss Marcus Smart's hustle plays, Stephen Curry's ridiculous performance, and Kemba Walker finding new ways to impact winning.

The Celtics are currently on a six-game win streak with the Chicago Bulls coming to town tonight. While the team is running into a few issues will illnesses, this is the first time the team has felt close to fully healthy in months.

Jabari Parker was signed by the team recently and made his Celtics debut. He scored 11 points on 5-6 shooting, giving the Celtics a great spark off the bench. The crew discusses whether or not he can be a long-term solution to the Celtics’ bench woes that have reared their ugly head in recent years. What do you think of the signing?

Another key factor in the Celtics’ recent success has been Jayson Tatum’s play. He is playing like an MVP and has the stats to prove it, putting up over 30 points a night over the six-game win streak. In Bleacher Report’s latest predictions, he was not listed on any All-NBA teams. Do you think he could win an MVP soon? Should he be on an All-NBA team this year?

Finally, the guys ask Wayne what matchup he wants to see in the first round the most, and what team he would want to avoid. With the Knicks, Hornets, Heat, and Hawks lurking, what team do you think the Celtics would play best against?

Here’s a question for you… does Jayson Tatum win an MVP at some point in his career? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below!
