On our last show the Celtics had just endured a 1-4 stretch losing to the Bucks, Bulls, Raptors and Blazers before knocking off the Wizards. Since then the Celtics have played 3 games. First they were at home as they welcomed the Rockets. The Celtics in the 1st half got dominated by the Rockets and were booed off the court by the TD Garden Crowd as it was obvious the effort was not being given. The Celtics managed to make a run in the 2nd half and got the game to single digits before ultimately falling off late and losing 115-104. The next day it was being reported that Kyrie Irving was upset and fed up with the losing and was growing distant from his teammates and others in Celtics managment. The Celtics would then head out on a 4 game road trip which started in Golden State against the Warriors. The Celtics got thier biggest win of the season with a wire to wire win 128-95. The Celtics looked more like a real team with a ton of ball movement. Everyone celebrating their teammates making big plays, and even coming to the defense of teammates as Aron Baynes was laid out by Demarcus Cousins who then had some words for Baynes while he was down on the floor resulting in Jayson Tatum and Terry Rozier both going after Cousins in defense of Baynes. The next night the Celtics would take on the Kings in Sacramento. Kyrie Irving would not play for the Celtics. The Celtics thanks to 6 players winding up in double figures and a game winner by Gordon Hayward were victorious 111-109. The Celtics now take on Lebron James and the Lakers right after we get off the air. We will discuss the last 3 games and preview the showdown with LA.
