Its officially 2017. Since our last show which took place on New Years day the Celtics played 5 games 4 of which took place on the TD Garden floor as the Celtics hosted the Jazz, 76ers, Pelicans and Wizards. The only road game the Celtics had since our last show was against the Atlantic division leading Toronto Raptors. Daniel and Igor on the last show mentioned the youtube video chats they have started doing after some of the big games and they did one after the Pelicans game to discuss the Jazz, 76ers and Pelicans games so that on tonights show more emphasis can be put on the Raptors and Wizards games knowing that games vs the Raptors are huge this season. But overall in the last 5 games the Celtics went 4-1 winning all 4 games on the TD Garden floor but losing the game in Toronto to the Raptors in a game that saw the Celtics have to play without Avery Bradley. The Celtics in that game had a chance to move into a tie for the lead in the Atlantic Division and 2nd overall in the Eastern Conference but blew a 2nd half double digit lead. They then came back the next night having to play without 5 players which included Avery Bradley and Amir Johnson to take on the Washington Wizards and thanks to a big 4th quarter by Isaiah Thomas the Celtics knocked off the Wizards 117-108 to move to 24-15 on the season. The Celtics Talk Crew will now discuss with our guest Bobby Krivitsky the last few games but in particular the game against the Raptors and Wizards and all of the injury issues as we appear to be going back to the way thing were to start the season when the injury bug bite this team except the team is winning despite the issues.
