Bomani Jones is joined by Howard Bryant for a loaded episode of The Right Time, starting with why the Boston Celtics failed the Jaylen Brown-Jayson Tatum era. Bo and Howard break down how Boston treated Brown like the expendable star, why the organization clearly picked Tatum as the face of the franchise, and what Tatum now has to prove coming off an Achilles injury. They also get into Brown’s move to Philadelphia, whether the basketball fit makes any sense next to Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey, and why the whole breakup felt colder than it needed to be.
Later, Bo and Howard dive into the Caitlin Clark discourse and explain why the conversation around her has somehow gotten even louder, dumber, and more political since she got to the WNBA. They talk about Clark becoming a culture-war avatar, why the league’s player-driven culture was always going to push back, whether her actual game is getting overrated by the noise around her, and why the Larry Bird comparisons don’t really hold up.
