The regular season is almost over. But the Celtics had to go on a trip out west one more time and they are 80% done with it. A 5 game road trip that would see them go at it with the Phoenix Suns, Los Angeles Clippers, Portland Trailblazers, Golden State Warriors, and Los Angeles Lakers. The Celtics have played the first 4 games and only have the Lakers game left to go before coming back to the East Coast. With less then 2 weeks left in the NBA season its all about the matchups in the NBA. Do you now think about losing games on purpose to avoid a certain team until a certain round. Do you sacrifice games to get your ream healthy even if it means getting a bad matchup in round 1. Those are questions the Celtics will have to answer as many feel the best chance for them to get a big name free agent is to win a playoff round this year and if possible win 2 and the only way to do that is to avoid the Cavs until the Eastern Conference Finals. Meaning you must avoid the seeds that would meet up with the Cavs seed in rounds 1 and 2. Meanwhile what is the latest on the Celtics injury front. Is Jar Crowder back or is his situation looking like another Kelly Olynyk situation which means it could be that he doesnt return until the playoffs begin? What about Jonas Jerebko? Has everyone else stayed healthy? We will discuss those issues on Celtics Talk Radio
