The Celtics returned home for 3 straight before going on a quick road trip to Charlotte. The first game saw the Celtics take on the Chicago Bulls. The Celtics despite coming out slow to begin the game in the 1st ultimately blew out the Bulls 111-82 in a game that saw 6 Celtics reach double figures with Jaylen Brown leading the way with 18. 2 nights later the Celtics take on the Raptors. The Celtics in a game that saw both teams blow double digit leads sat Jaylen Brown and road the hot hand of Kyrie Irving who scored 17 of the Celtics 29 points in the 4th quarter surrounded by Horford, Tatum, Morris and Hayward into a comeback that tied the game and forced overtime. In the Overtime period Irving again dominated as he made or assisted on all 6 baskets the Celtics had in the overtime quarter which the Celtics win 16 to 9 in route to a 123-116 win over the 1st place Raptors. The Celtics would be back in action the following night against a Jazz team who the Celtics lost to on their 1-4 road trip however in that game in Utah the Celtics were playing at a disadvantage as not only was it the 2nd night of a back to back for them while Utah was rested but Kyrie Irving did not play for the C's. The Celtics despite having Irving for this 2nd matchup were defeated again by Utah 98-86. Brad Stevens would come out afterwards to say along with Kyrie Irving we are a soft team. A couple nights later the Celtics took on the Hornets and Brad Stevens made a change to the starting lineup removing Gordon Hayward to bring in Aron Baynes. However the Celtics thanks to a big night from Kemba Walker and some poor decision making down the stretch in the 4th and lost. We will discuss these games with our Guests Chris Lengseth @Hans02421, Nick Gelso @CLNS_Nick CEO and Founder of CLNS Media, Sam Packard @JamPackard co-host of the Locked on the Celtics Podcast and Michael McClellan author of the book "Boston Celtics-Where Have you gone?"
