The Celtics since our last show played 5 games. They started off by taking on Anthony Davis and the Pelicans in Boston at the TD Garden a game in which they lost 116-113 in Overtime. They then took on the Philadelphia 76ers at home in a game that saw the Celtics play without Kyrie Irving and the Celtics lost to them 89-80 making it 2 losses at home in a row. 3 nights later the Celtics played the final game of their home stand as they took on the Orlando Magic. Kyrie Irving scored 40 points but the Celtics would lose again 103-95 making it 3 losses in a row as the Celtics would then head out on the road to the West Coast for a 4 game Western Conference road trip. They started off the road trip with a matchup against their Arch Rivals the LA Lakers befor taking on the LA Clippers in a back to back format. The Lakers were not expected to be a playoff contender let alone a challenge for the Celtics many thought that matchup would be the easiest game of the road trip yet the Celtics would lose their 4th in a row as they lost 108-107 in a game that saw the Lakers outscore the Celtics by 13 via the free throw line via a 36 to 10 free throw attempt advantage. The Celtics did have a chance to win it at the buzzard but  Smart misses a 3 at the buzzard to lose the game via 1 point. That had many wondering if the Celtics had finally been exposed the Celtics however would get back on track the next night as they took on the Clippers. The Celtics would be forced to play without Al Horford and Marcus Smart as Horford was hit in the head night before and  Smart suffered an injured hand over night. So whats the latest on the standings in the NBA when it comes to where the Celtics stack up in the league. What about the Cavs and their recent struggles is there any news regarding their issues.
