The first game since our last show saw the Celtics take on the Chicago Bulls in Chicago. The Celtics despite not having Al Horford who was out with knee sorness and Aron Baynes who was out due to his ankle injury suffered in 2 nights earlier. Destroyed the Chicago Bulls via a 133-77 blowout win. The Celtics started Daniel Theis in Horfords spot and he had his best game of the sesaon scoring 22 points along with 10 rebounds, 5 ast and 4 blocks in 32 minutes and was a +50 in those 22 minutes. The 56 point win is the biggest margin of victory in franchise history and tied the NBA Record for the biggest margin of victory in a road team win. 2 nights later the Celtics would take on Anthony Davis and the Pelicans at TD Garden in Boston. The Celtics however would face the Pelicans without the services of Kyrie Irving, Al Horford, Gordon Hayward, Aron Baynes and Guerschon Yabusele. Despite the players out the Celtics still managed to come out with a double digit win via a 113-100 score sweeping the season series from the Pelicans. That made it 6 wins in a row for the Celtics. 2 nights later the Celtics were in Washington to take on the Wizards. The Celtics would be without Al Horford, Gordon Hayward, Jaylen Brown and Guerschon Yabusele and had Baynes on a limited minutes role. Yet despite the Celtics missing those players they were able to beat the Wizards in overtime. Kyrie Irving would make 2 big 3 pointers in the OT period the first which put the Celtics back in front of the Wizards by 2 then the 2nd made it a 3 points Wizards lead. So the Celtics now are just 1 game back of 2nd place in the Eastern Conference. We will recap the Celtics recent 3 game stretch and look towards the next few games. Also we will discuss the injuries and give you updates. We will be joined by Warren Shaw (@ShawSportsNBA) who is the co-host of the NBA Baseline Podcast. Koriana Vela (@Korianase) of  TSJ 101 Sports. Michael Mcllelan who is the Editor-in-Chief of Celtic Nation.

Since our last show the Celtics have played 3 games. 3 games which begins a 3 week stretch of games where the Celtics should be favorites to win atleast 8 of their 9 games up until the week of Christmas. The 1st of those 9 games saw the Celtics host the Cavaliers. The Celtics were without Al Horford and Jaylen Brown while the Cavs were without JR Smith who the team sent home until they can trade him and Kevin Love who is out until January due to surgery. The Celtics opted to stick with the same starting lineup that they had in their previous game in Irving, Smart, Tatum and Morris while Baynes filled in for Horford. The game saw the Celtics play 2 close quarters in the 1st half but lead by 10 at halftime before the starting 5 blew the game open in the 3rd via a 39-20 scoring edge and it allowed Brad Stevens to sit the starters and play the end of the bench in the 4th quarter limiting their minutes as they would be on to Minnesote to play the Wolves the next night. The Celtics thanks to a 30 point game from Gordon Hayward his best game in a Celtics uniform knocked off the Wolves 118-109 snapping the Wolves 4 game win streak and making it 3 wins in a row for the Celtics. The Celtics would have to wait 5 games for their next game against the Knicks. The Celtics blew them out 128-100 thanks to a big performance from a returning Jaylen Brown. We will discuss the last 3 games with our guests Rich Jensen @RichAJensen contributor to RedsArmy,com, Thomas King @celticstown site expert for @houdiniceltics and Boston Celtics writer for @The_Bball_index and, Jack Traut @jack_traut Boston Celtics beat writer for @T101Sports

We are officially a 1/4 of the way done with the NBA Regular Season and how tough and depressing of a 1/4 of the season has it been. The Celtics with 21 games in their schedule done now sit at . Since our last show the Celtics played 4 games 1 at home and then 3 on the road. The first game which was the home game saw the Celtics lose to the Knicks in a game that saw them go down by 26 and saw the Celtics faithful booing the team and shouting negative comments at the players throughout the game. The Celtics did managed to get within 3 before losing it 117-109. The Celtics would then head to Atlanta taking on and defeating the Hawks 114 to 96 without the services of Al Horford who sat with knee pain. This was the first game of the year the Celtics never trailed. The Celtics put the game away early with a 45-23 scoring edge in the 1st quarter. This allowed head coach Brad Stevens the opportunity to sit the starters in the 4th and preserve their energy for the next night. The Celtics would then head to Dallas however the Celtics would be without Gordon Hayward and lose to the Mavericks 113-104 dropping the Celtics to a record of 10-10 and towards the bottom half of the Eastern Conference Playoff standings. This loss prompted Marcus Smart to have some harsh words saying teams dont fear us anymore. The Celtics 2 nights later faced off the Pelicans. Brad Stevens put Smart and Morris into the starting lineup with Brown out and Hayward coming off the bench and the Celtics dominated the Pelicans wining 124-107 in a game that saw the Celtics lead for all but 1:48 of the game. This was arguable the Celtics best game this season.

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?"

The Celtics are finally done with the longest road trip this season. After dropping the first 2 games to the Pacers and the  Nuggets which was discussed on our previous show the Celtics traveled from Denver to Phoenix to take on the Suns. The Celtics looked as though they were headed for their 3rd straight as they went down by as much as 22 points in this game. The Celtics trailed by 7 with 97 sec left in the game before managing to force overtime and then winning the overtime period 16 to 9 to win the game 116-109. Irving scored 39 points while Brown and Morris each added 17 and Rozier added 10 as they were the only Celtics to get into double figures. The Celtics then traveled to Utah to take on the Jazz the very next night in the 2nd night of a back to back set for them. The Jazz went into this game having not played in nearly 2 days. The Celtics also would go into this game without the services of Kyrie Irving who would leave the team to attend a memorial service for a family member causing Stevens to move Terry Rozier into the starting lineup for this game. The Celtics came out hot to start the game but it did not last long as the Jazz came back and ultimately had a 13 point lead going to the 4th quarter. The Celtics had their best quarter of the game in the 4th but could not stop the Jazz offense and lost this one 123-115. The team would then have a day off before they traveled to Portland to take on the Trailblazers. Kyrie Irving would return to the lineup for this game. Once again the team got down early but managed to come back and tie it in the 4th but failed to get the W moving them to 7-6 on the season and 1-4 on the road trip. Fans are frustrated calling for trades, experts are calling for a lineup change. We discuss with Bobby Krivitsky @BobbyKrivitsky. sports director of the NEW TV. Second guest is Thomas King @celticstown, site expert at @houdiniceltics. Third guest is our friend Kevin Dixon from N The Zone Sports Talk Radio

Celtics are in the midst of a 5 game road trip which is the longest road trip they will have this season. The Celtics the night after our last show played the last unbeaten team in the league at that time in the Milwaukee Bucks. The Celtics would have to go through that game however without the services of Jaylen Brown. The Celtics used a big time 3 point shooting performance one that saw them hit 24 of 55 3 point attempts setting a new franchise record for 3's in a game and fell only 1 shy of tying the league record currently held by the Golden State Warriors. That performance along with 6 players getting into double figures led the Celtics to a 117-113 win giving the Bucks their first loss on the season. The Celtics would then head out on a 5 game in 9 days road trip starting in Indiana against the Pacers. The Celtics would blow a 4 point lead with only 30 sec left to go in that game allowing the Pacers to walk away with the win after Oladipo nailed a 3 pointer to give the Pacers the 1 point lead the Celtics had 1 last chance to try to win it but Haywards inbounds pass was deflected and stolen by Oladipo to seal the win for the Pacers and move the Celtics to 6-3 on the season. Kyrie Irving after the game would go on to say that teams are treating the Celtics like they are the world champions and they are bringing their A game looking to prove a point by beating the Celtics. The Celtics 2 nights later would be in Denver to take on the Nuggets. The Celtics jumped out to a hot start went up by 18 before ultimately being up by 15 after 1 quarter but they went on to lose the 2nd, 3rd and 4th quarters in route to a 115-107 defeat to the Nuggets.

The Celtics are now 5-2 on the season and on a 3 game winning streak. Since our last show which saw us discuss the Celtics sitting at 2-1 after beating the 76ers on opening night then losing to the Toronto Raptors before beating the Knicks. The Celtics played 4 games. 3 of which are against possible NBA Playoff competition. 2 nights after the Celtics win over the Knicks they took on the Orlando Magic back in Boston. This game saw the Celtics play down to their competition and shoot poorly in route to a 93-90 loss giving the Celtics their 2nd loss on the season. 3 nights later the Celtics were back on the road this time in OKC to take on Paul George, Russell Westbrook and the Thunder. This game saw the Thunder dominate the Celtics in the 1st half but saw the Celtics take over in the 2nd half including a 16 to 1 run in the final few minutes to win it 101-95 keeping the Thunder winless one the season. 2 nights later the Celtics began a home and home series with the Detroit Pistons. The first game saw the Celtics take on the Pistons in Detroit in a game that was dominated by the Celtics and saw them win by 20 points 109-89. The Celtics and Pistons would meet again just 3 nights later in Boston in a game that saw the Pistons put up a better fight but still saw the Celtics walk away with the win in a game that Kyrie Irving in the 2nd half took over to show why he is a Superstar and the Celtics best player. The team now sits at 5-2 through 7 games. They are currently 4-1 in games that feature them facing off with possible playoff competition. 3 of their games have been in Boston and 4 have been on the road the Celtics have suffered 1 loss at home and 1 on the road. So what do we think about the team through its first 2 weeks? We will be joined by Josue Pavon (@Joe_Sway on twitter) a Celtics writer for WEEI and Reporter for CLNS. Chris Langseth (@Hans02421 on twitter) a Celtics Journalist

The 2018/2019 Boston Celtics season is now officially in Regular Season mode. The Celtics kicked off the regular season with a chance to make a huge statement as they faced 3 of their division foes 2 of which many feel are the biggest threats to the Celtics in their quest to win the Eastern Conference and get to the NBA Finals. The Celtics kicked off the regular season being the first game of the NBA Season overall as they hosted the Philadelphia 76ers this past Tuesday night in a rematch of last years 2nd round playoff matchup. Despite Irving and Hayward both looking rusty as Irving went 2/14 for 7 points while Hayward went 4/12 for 10 points and was placed in a 25 minute restriction which he will be under for the first month of the season the Celtics still blew out the 76ers 105-87 in a game that saw them take their first lead of the game with 6:34 left in the 1st quarter and never relinquish it. The Celtics 3 nights later were in Toronto to take on the Toronto Raptors which many feel due to the Raptors now having Kawhi Leonard and the fact that they were the #1 seed last year in the East that the Raptors would be the biggest threat to the Celtics in the Eastern Conference. We saw a back and forth game that saw the Celtics get the better of the Raptors in the 1st half but falter in the 2nd half and ultimately lose 113-101. The Celtics had issues rebounding in that game, issues with the officiating in the 2nd half as Leonard got the superstar treatment and the bench not showing up offensively. The Celtics would travel to NY to face the Knicks the next night. The Celtics got pushed to a final possesion game by the Knicks while playing with Hayward and losing Baynes in the 1st half. Tatum and Irving led the way.

The big elephant thats been in the room for Danny Ainge, Kyrie Irving and the Boston Celtics since the end of last season. What is Kyrie Irving gonna do after the 2018/2019 season ends and he becomes a free agent. Will he end up in New York with Jimmy Butler as some reports say that was what Butler was trying to accomplish. Would he stay in Boston knowing that they could pay him the most money and the team was in a prime position to dominate the Eastern Conference. Or would another team come out from left field and swoop him up with a superstar pairing the All-Star PG would like. Well Kyrie Irving made sure that this season the he and his teamates will be able to focus on Banner #18 by announcing on the TD Garden floor in front of Celtics Nation at a special event that he will be resigning a long term deal to remain with the team. The deal of course will not be official until after next season is over as Irving if he does sign now or during the time the season is taking place he would lose nearly $80 million in salary over the contract. So now the team with the preseason over and opening night of the Regular Season just 9 nights away. Where does this team stand? What if anything have we been able to learn about the 15 man roster in terms of the back end of the group? What does this news do for the team in general now that they know they will not have to worry about Irving throughout this season? Do Irving and Hayward and Daniel Theis who are all returning from injuries look primed and ready for the season to begin or does something not look right with any of them. We will discuss those things as we are joined by Rich Jensen (@RichAJensen) Contributor to RedsArmy.com, Writer for Fotoreactive.com. Guest 2 is Matt Rury (@TeamGreenTruth) Host of the CLNS Celtics Postgame show.

The road to banner 18 begins now. Thats right the 2018/2019 Boston Celtics season has officially begun as earlier this weeks all players and coaches arrived for the start of Boston Celtics Training Camp. As always training camp kicked off with the traditional media day across the NBA. This past Monday all Celtics players and head coach Brad Stevens were interviewed by the media to give their thoughts on the upcoming season and a lot of the big stories that the players have been connected to during the offseason. You will hear several of the audios from Head Coach Brad Stevens to All-Stars Kyrie Irving, Al Horford and Gordon Hayward to the other key players on the team like Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown and Marcus Smart. The Celtics played their first game of the preseason last night against the Hornets we will discuss how the team looked and in particular how do the players returning from injury look in their first game action since last season. Also with the arrests of Jabari Bird what is the team saying in regards to his future with the team and the possibility of releasing Bird to make room for another player. What issues does Brad Stevens and the players feels need to be figured out before the Regular Season tips off in 17 days. We will discuss all that as we are joined by Evan Valenti @EvanValenti Host of @CLNSRoundtable; Producer for Celtics Beat w/ Adam Kaufman; Producer for Good N’ Plenty w/ Jeff Goodman.
