Gary Washburn joined Baskin and Phelps to talk about the return of Jayson Tatum to the Celtics and whether or not he thinks Tatum can return to his pre-injury form. He also discussed the team the front office has put together and how they have been so successful even without Tatum, and he went around the Eastern conference to break down who he thinks will be making a run for the Finals.
