Since the last show the Celtics played 5 games. 4 which featured opponents who were not seated in one of the 16 playoff spots coming into the 5 game stretch. The Celtics welcomed the Nuggets then 2 nights later started a home and home series with the Orlando Magic playing in Boston then 2 nights later the Celtics were in Orlando. Then 2 nights after that game in Orlando the Celtics played the New York Knicks in New York which was the first night of a back to back which would see the Celtics play the Pistons the next night back at TD Garden in Boston. The Celtics began this stretch sitting in the 5th seed in the Eastern Conference right behind the Chicago Bulls for the 4th seed. So what did the Celtics do on what would be the last of their easy stretch that Daniel Camacho mentioned a month ago before the Celtics have to go at it with Lebron and the Cavs, Demarcus Cousins and the Kings and old friejds Paul Pierce, Doc Rivers and the LA Clippers. Are the Celtics still sitting the the 5th seed or did they manage to take advantage of the last easy stretch they got and rise up in the east. Or did they choke and fall down in the standings. Your Celtics Talk Crew will discuss that also whats the latest on the NBA Trade Deadline outlook for the Celtics with just 2 weeks exactly left before the Trade Deadline arrives. Jon Shames of HoopsHabit will be our guest for this show.

Since the last episode of Celtics Talk Radio. The Celtics have played 7 games. First facing off with the Phoenix Suns at TD Garden. Then the Celtics took on a 6 day 3 game road trip. Making stops in Washington to face the Wizards. Then traveled to Dallas to take on the Mavericks. Then went up to Toronto to take on the Raptors. The Celtics then returned home to face off with the Chicago Bulls before going back off on the road for 2 games first in Philadelphia to face the 76ers and then another trip to Washington to face the Wizards on their court for the 2nd time in less then 2 weeks. Going into this stretch the Celtics had just snapped a 4 game losing streak by beating Paul George and the Indiana Pacers for the 1st time this season. The Celtics were just on outside of the playoff picture in the Eastern Conference trailing the 8th seeded Orlando Magic by a 1/2 game after that win vs the Pacers. So the question is now did the Celtics right the ship. The players know that the NBA Trade Deadline is on the horizon and some are playing for their right to remain on the team as they know the Celtics will be buyers rather the Sellers at the trade Deadline this season due to all the assets Danny Ainge has in his back pocket. So did the Celtic's manage to get back on track and start rising up in the standings in the Eastern Conference. Or was the win against the Pacers just a fluke and the team is still having issues. Meanwhile with less then a month to go before the NBA Trade Deadline. What are the latest rumors coming out that Celtics fans will need to keep an eye out for. We will discuss those stories with Adam Lowenstein.

The Celtics are in the midst of the easiest stretch of their schedule. Playing 32 games where 28 of the 32 they play they are favored. The Celtics have now played 8 of those 32 games. The Celtics first 3 games were against some of the weakest teams in the NBA in the Lakers, Nets (2 times). The next 5 saw them against teams with playoff hopes in the Pistons, Bulls, Grizzlies, Knicks and Pacers with the Bulls and Pacers game being Nationally Televised. On the last episode of Celtics Talk Radio. The Celtics had played the Lakers game as well as the first of a home and home series with the Nets and lost both games making them 0-2 to start the 32 game stretch. The Celtics had also lost starting shooting guard Avery Bradley to an injury. So now 6 games later whats the latest. Did the Celtics turn things around. If so what adjustments did Brad Stevens and the team make. Who did Brad Stevens elect to replace Avery Bradley in the starting lineup. Is Avery Bradley still out after 6 games or did he return and if so how does he look. The Celtics Talk Crew will discuss those topics as well as what damage did the Celtics manage to do in the Eastern Conference Standings having to face several teams in the playoff race with them. The Celtics will be joined by John Karalis of Redsarmy for this episode.

In our last episode the Celtics had played 7 games in total with 5 of those 7 games being against opponents who the Celtics would be fighting against for playoff position as the season progresses. Since that show the Celtics have faced 4 teams with chances to make the playoffs. 1 in the Eastern Conference in the Atlanta Hawks. Then 3 playoff teams with Superstar talent from the Western Conference in the Oklahoma City Thunder, Dallas Mavericks, and Houston Rockets. Then 1 team that appears destined for the NBA Draft Lottery in the Brooklyn Nets. So where do the Celtics stand now on November 21st after finishing 1/8 of the NBA schedule. Do they sit in the playoff picture in the Eastern Conference or do they sit on the outside looking in. How did the Celtics do against Dirk Nowitzki and the Mavericks, Kevin Durant and the Thunder and James Harden and the Rockets. Did they manage to put up a decent fight like they did against the San Antonio Spurs earlier this season or did they manage to pull off the upset against any of those teams. How does the rotation appear to be working. Is the rotation that Brad Stevens is using getting the job done or is there still some fixes that need to be made.

The Celtics started the 2015/16 season 1-3 in their first 4 games. The Celtics Talk Crew on episode 112 discussed what occurred in those first 4 games. What issues the Celtics needed to address going into their next 4 games against 4 playoff caliber teams and what Brad Stevens needed to do about the rotations to try and get the Celtics team rolling. Since that show the Celtics played 3 games which inlcuded their first back to back of the season. They hosted the Washington Wizards on 11/6. Then played at the Milwaukee Bucks on 11/10 then the very next night hosted the Indiana Pacers in a rematch of the Celtics 4th game of the season. Does it appear they have finally figured things out after starting the season 1-4 or did they continue to struggle. What should we expect going into the Celtics next handful of games where they will have to face the team who was the #1 seed in the Eastern Conference last season in the Atlanta Hawks then Kevin Durant and the Thunder, James Harden and the Rockets, and Dirk Nowitzki and the Mavericks. Does it look like the Celtics are ready to take on those teams or should Celtic fans expect more losses as we give the team more time to gel. Your Celtics Talk Crew will be joined by Adam Lowenstein aka Stats Adam to discuss those questions.

The Boston Celtics 2015-2016 season is officially underway. The team started its season 8 days ago on October 28th when it played its Season/Home Opener against the Philadelphia 76ers.
