With the Boston Celtics set to face the Philadelphia 76ers in the 2020 NBA Playoffs for the third time in three seasons, a Sixers - Celtics postseason series is becoming something of a tradition again. This time however, there's an awkward new twist -- Al Horford is a 76er, facing his old team for the first time in the playoffs. To that end, we put together a crossover pod with Ky Carlin, the editor of Sixers Wire, and a very special guest able to speak to that awkwardness better than anyone save Al himself, Anna Horford. Join Justin Quinn and Josh Coyne of Celtics Lab as we talk everything from Al's role against his former team to the vagaries of British English and the unusually gruff style of Philly fandom.

The NBA is back with actual games of the 2019-20 NBA season scheduled once again. Teams are gearing up to head to the Disney-hosted bubble taking place in Florida next week, and conversation is already starting to shift towards sports again.
But should it?
Join Cam Tabatabaie of Celtics Hub, Justin Quinn of Celtics Wire and Alex Goldberg of Off the Glass as we take as deep a dive as we feel comfortable on the ethics of reopening the NBA, and for those of you less prone to wax philosophical about such a serious issue, we DO talk about the restart, schedule and playoffs as well.

Ahead of the aborted reunion with his former team, Brooklyn Nets point guard Kyrie Irving finds himself at the nexus of several popular narratives circulating in the NBA and especially Boston Celtics media sphere. The Nets have struggled early while Boston has exceeded expectations in Kyrie's absence; to what extent is his presence (or lack thereof) responsible? Is he hard to get along with? Does he need a certain roster makeup to succeed? And speaking of absences, does the Duke product take games off when facing former teams at home? Join Justin Quinn and Cam Tabatabaie as they link up with the Brooklyn Buzz' Jac Manuel as we try to get to the hard data behind (or not) these talking points.

But, those former UConn Huskies who HAVE played for the Celtics have usually left an impression -- and in recent years, some very big ones. Join Justin Quinn as he catches up with friend of the pod and UConn Today editor Tom Breen to talk all things Celtics-Connecticut -- and apologies for the occasional glitch.
