Total Eclipse of the Suns: Do the new rules benefit the Celtics? (Celtics Late Night)

Fri, 15 Mar 2024 05:42:05 -0000

The Celtics could have been forgiven for losing their first game after a long west coast road trip and the continued absence of their starting center, Kristaps Porzingis. However, Jaylen Brown, Jayson Tatum and Al Horford gave the Suns an absolute beatdown in a genuinely impressive display of team basketball.

We break down the Celtics' approach to this game, some amazing individual performances, and much more.

Why has the media narrative shifted away from the Celtics?

Thu, 14 Mar 2024 01:53:00 -0000

The Boston Celtics had a successful road trip out west, but the narrative has shifted since the loss to Denver. Are the Celtics still the most likely team to win the title this year? What has changed? Meanwhile, the Celtics have won 3 and remain an incredibly entertaining juggernaut, so why are some pundits shifting toward the Milwaukee Bucks as the top team in the East?

Plus, is Derrick White back.. again? Is it time to rest Jayson Tatum? Is Luke Kornet really this good? Come and hang out, there's plenty to talk about.

Finally, Mike Gorman's comments on Grant Williams, Jaylen's tweet-liking has Celtics Twitter in shambles, and are we worried about KP's current absence?

Mon, 11 Mar 2024 04:56:16 -0000

The Boston Celtics beat the Phoenix Suns Saturday night, ending the 72-hour media cycle from hell and restoring vibes for Celtics fans globally. However, Jayson Tatum has looked a little shakey the past few games. What's going on there? Meanwhile, Jaylen Brown has been dominating the opposition since the all-star break, and Luke Kornet is likely getting drug tested after playing out of his mind to beat Kevin Durant and the Suns.

Thu, 07 Mar 2024 03:15:37 -0000

Mon, 04 Mar 2024 02:38:20 -0000

The Celtics keep finding ways to win

Sat, 30 Dec 2023 11:49:00 -0000

The Boston Celtics came home from an impressive West Coast road trip and ALMOST lost back-to-back games at home to two of the worst teams in the NBA. The Celtics won both games and continued to demonstrate their new-found ability to win games that we've come to expect them to lose over recent years.

Derrick White and Jaylen Brown were dominant against the Raptors, while there were different heroes in the overtime win against the Pistons.

Who is better at leading their own lineup, Derrick White or Jaylen Brown? Where are we at with the Queta vs Kornet argument now? Why were these games so difficult?

Is Hayward’s departure indicative of his lack of confidence in Tatum and the Celtics’ championship aspirations? This week we deep-dive into LarBrd33’s “Showcase Season” piece, outlining the top candidates to showcase their value to not only the Celtics but potentially the entire league. Plus, a Celtics Reddit recap, including the underrated Tristan Thompson contract and some very speculative pre-season predictions.

We're also very excited to officially welcome LarBrd33 as an ongoing co-host of the podcast. LarBrd has been an awesome multi-time guest over the years, so we’re really happy to have him on full-time.

In other news, we’re also joining the CelticsLife platform as their network’s podcast. We are still the “Celtics Reddit Podcast” and our format will largely remain as it is, but we will also be sharing some content on CelticsLife as this relationship evolves. In the meantime, the hope is this will open us up to a wider audience, and give us access to guests we previously would have struggled to link up with.
