079: Chris Wallace: Memphis Grizzlies GM | Boston Celtics | Memphis Grizzlies | NBA

Another week, another string of bad losses by the Boston Celtics highlighted by bad defense. Yes, the Celtics did get a win this week, but we all know who that was against. After giving up 118 points in a loss to the Phoenix Suns earlier in the week, the Celtics got scorched by Marc Gasol and the shorthanded Memphis Grizzlies last night. Is it already time to push the panic button? Host Larry H. Russell seems to think so. The team doesn’t seem to have what it takes to execute at the end of games and to commit to a collective defensive identity. While the games may be close now, LHR tells you why he believes that is going to be a recipe for disaster. While there haven’t been many highlights for the Celtics on the court this year, there have been many highlights on the Celtics Beat podcast. The Celts were in Memphis last night to take on the best team in the NBA. How were these Grizzlies put together? Can they maintain this pace and compete for a championship? And what’s Marc Gasol’s future? LHR has the pleasure to speak with General Manager of the Memphis Grizzlies, as well as former Boston Celtics executive, Chris Wallace. There’s a lot to discuss. And yes, LHR will have time for Around the NBA in 5. So tune into Celtics Beat -- available for download in iTunes and Stitcher this Saturday at 2 PM ET. Powered by CLNS Radio.
