On our last show the Celtics had just won 3 games in a row knocking off the Wizards at home before going out on a 4 game West Coast Trip through the state of California. Their trip began with a blowout win over the defending NBA Champion Golden State Warriors then a win the following night over the Sacramento Kings. Since then the Celtics have played 3 games. Their first game saw them play Lebron James and the Lakers. The Celtics were victorious 120-107 over their greatest rivals. Kyrie Irving matched Lebron James point for point as both scored 30 points for their respective teams. The Lakers were missing several key players in Lonza Ball, Brandon Ingram and Kyle Kuzam. The Celtics would remain in LA as 2 nights later they took on the Clippers. Jayson Tatum would not play in the game and the Celtics were blown out 140-115. Kyrie Irving after the game said they had to get out of LA and get back to Boston. The Celtics would return to Boston with 2 days off before taking on the Kings again as part of their 3 game hom stand. The Celtics would play however with Terry Rozier. The Celtics played a horrendous 1st quarter before ultimately managing to come back and win it 126-120 with Kyrie Irving again having a big game as he had his 2nd career Triple Double scoring 31 points and having 12 assists and 10 rebounds to go along with it. The Celtics continue to be in a battle for the 3rd, 4th and 5th seeds with the Philadelphia 76ers and the Indiana Pacers. So now where do they stand in that race. Is it becoming more obivious the team is gonna need home court or would the team be better off taking the 4th or 5th seed and aim for a possible matchup. What about the issues in the locker room has the atmosphere changed dramatically after winning 5 of their last 6. We will discuss as we are joined by Warren Shaw (@ShawSportsNBA on twitter) and Sam Eggert (@samweggert on twitter)
