Bill Simmons: Celtics' Tatum Evolves, Bench Depth Intimidates

It's March 30th. From the locker room to your ears, this is Boston Celtics News today,

powered by AI. I'm Cory with the story. Bill Simmons from the ringer is straight up hyped

about his Boston Celtics right now, calling them the most intimidating squad in the eastern,

conference playoffs, and fourth overall in the league. It's all centered on Jason Tatum's

comeback after a long injury rehab, especially after their solid win over the Charlotte Hornets

on Sunday. Tatum stepped up huge without Jalen Brown or Derek White in the lineup,

basically owning the offense like his old dominant self and carrying the team to victory.

Simmons broke it down on his podcast, was that low, praising Boston's insane bench-step

where role players just swap in and deliver every time, giving them that total package feel.

He's noticing Tatum's evolved game too, especially as a password thing seems slower for him now,

opening up angles he didn't see before. With Tatum rounding into this sharper version,

the Celtics live prime to make some serious noise come playoff time.
