MTP Boston returns with Rayshawn Buchanan and Mike Marcangelo breaking down everything happening in Boston sports as the Celtics fight for rhythm and the Patriots keep finding ways to win.
The Boston Celtics are off to a 3-4 start, and while their defense ranks third in the NBA, the offense remains inconsistent. Mike points to improved perimeter coverage and effort, while Rayshawn calls out what’s holding them back — rebounding and half-court execution. They break down Jalen Brown’s streaky scoring, Derrick White’s struggles from deep, and how Neemias Queta has quietly become one of Boston’s most reliable players. Queta’s toughness, rebounding, and shot-blocking have earned him a larger role, while Xavier Tillman’s versatility continues to give the rotation some flexibility against bigger lineups.
The hosts debate whether Anfernee Simons should take on a larger offensive role to boost second-unit scoring. Rayshawn argues that Simons adds the tempo and shot creation Boston’s offense needs, while Mike warns that defensive lapses could cost them against playoff-caliber teams. Both agree that Boston’s offense often stalls late in games, especially when transition opportunities disappear.
They discuss the team’s identity post-Porzingis and Horford, emphasizing how this younger, more athletic roster is built to play faster but still needs consistency on the boards. Rayshawn believes the Celtics can string together wins if they recommit to rebounding and off-ball movement. Mike sees potential but says the margin for error in the East is thin.
Then it’s on to Foxborough. The New England Patriots, led by Mike Vrabel, have won five straight and now sit at 7-2, looking like a real AFC contender. Drake Maye continues to impress with his poise, mobility, and control. Stefon Diggshas transformed the passing game, and Trevion Henderson’s emergence adds explosiveness to the run game. The hosts debate how Rhamondre Stevenson’s return could change the backfield balance and how Vrabel’s leadership has restored accountability across the roster.
Rayshawn praises the Patriots’ undefeated road record, while Mike highlights how Vrabel has reignited a winning culture built on toughness and smart football. They close with NFL
Week 10 predictions, including matchups like Patriots vs Buccaneers, Vikings vs Ravens, Rams vs 49ers, and Eagles vs Packers.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
