The Ringer NBA Show

It’s JV Day today with no Rob or J. Kyle Mann. So Justin wanted to start with the two biggest stories in the league: Jayson Tatum’s return, and the Spurs continuing to roll in the West. He’s joined by the The Athletic’s Jared Weiss, who currently covers the Spurs and used to cover the Celtics. They talk about what it was like to be at Tatum's first game, how he changes the Celtics' title chances, and much more. Then, JV is joined by Yahoo Sports and Trail Blazers Analytics insider Tom Haberstroh to talk all things Portland Trail Blazers. They discuss Scoot Henderson’s big game against the Pacers, how far can a healthy Deni Avdija take the Blazers, Donovan Clingan’s development, and much more.

Logan Murdock, Raja Bell, and Howard Beck are back with another edition of Real Ones and discuss the return of Celtics All-NBA forward Jayson Tatum. Is it too soon for him to return? Could Tatum mess up the chemistry of a Celtics team that currently holds the second spot in the East? The Charlotte Hornets have been hot since the new year with the emergence of rookie Kon Knueppel and 2023 second overall pick Brandon Miller. How tough of an out will they be for teams at the top of the conference? Plus, did Steve Kerr botch the development of Jonathan Kuminga, who's been thriving in Atlanta?
