What does star forward Jayson Tatum need to do to lead the Boston Celtics in the 2026-27 NBA regular season? In his first full campaign since sustaining an Achilles tendon injury in the 2025 NBA Eastern Conference Playoffs vs. the New York Knicks, the St. Louis native will stand alone at the helm of the team that picked him up with the No. 3 pick of the 2017 NBA Draft.
Is he ready to lead the team alone after his costar on the wing, Jaylen Brown, was dealt to the Philadelphia 76ers this summer? The hosts of the "How Bout Them Celtics!" podcast, Jack Simone and Sam LaFrance, took a closer look at what this might look like for Boston, as well as the Kawhi Leonard/ Los Angeles Clippers scandal, the return of Ben Simmons to the NBA, Amen Thompson's
new deal, and more.
Take a look at the clip embedded below to hear what they had to say about all of the above, especially Taco Jay leading the Celtics.
