The Sleeper Must Awaken

The Sleeper Must Awaken

Doxy and I are BACK after a two year hiatus. We start off with some reminiscing then we cover Dune starting at 7 minutes and meander over to the Celtics starting at 57 minutes for the reminder of the pod. Yes there will be spoilers, it’s a 60 year old book deal with it.

The One When Marcus Smart Starts

Doxy and Jake are back after a tumultuous few weeks where the Celtics play varied widely and Jake went viral. We start off with some thoughts about Friends and sitcoms in general (somehow Doxy brings up One Piece). Then around 35 minutes we move onto talking about the Celtics. We pay particular attention to Marcus Smart and how the Celtics should manage the starting situation moving forward.

Return of the Pod

Return of the Pod

(Cohost) Doxy and I are back after our long labor dispute! As a token of appreciation for all the people who kept hounding me to record I decided to do the most requested topic: Player Grades. We start by going through the Starters: Kyrie (3 mins), Jaylen (12), Hayward (21), Jayson Tatum (27), Al Horford (39). Then we move on to the Bench: Marcus Smart (44), Terry Rozier (51), Marcus Morris (58), Aron Baynes (60).

Then we talk about the Celtics moving forward and some general NBA thoughts.

P.s My voice is a travesty because I am getting over a cold so please prepare yourself.

Episode 1

We are joined by the legendary women respecter and strong basketball mind Andrew Doxy in the first ever episode of Revenge of the Parquet. In a long rambling episode we first cover Jayson Tatum's scouting report, fit with the Celtics and most importantly, his meme game. In the second half the conversation shifts to more general NBA opinions and an ode to One Piece.
