The Celtics Are Contenders, Concern Level for the Thunder + Unrivaled Day 1 Takeaways

We're bouncing around on today's episode of The Dunker Spot!

Nekias Duncan and Steve Jones discuss the surging Boston Celtics, who recently climbed to the East's second seed. They discuss their current standing and the non-Jaylen Brown standouts, as well as appreciate the level of buy-in Joe Mazzulla has gotten from this group.

From there, they bounce around. From the Pistons' consistent winning, to the Nuggets finding offense without Nikola Jokic, playoff-level questions for the Rockets and Thunder (what's going on there?), a Rudy Gobert check-in and more.

Finally, the guys close the show with reactions to the first day of the Unrivaled season.
