The Boston Celtics season has officially come to an end and now an offseason officially filled with a ton of questions is upon us. The offseason got off to a hot start this past Wednesday when Celtics GM Danny Ainge announced he would be stepping down from his position and Head Coach Brad Stevens would be getting promoted from his position to take over the GM position meaning that on top of the team needed a complete make over to try and get back into contention for an NBA Championship. The team now has to deal with getting a new Head Coach. Which of course now begs the question for many fans who will that new head coach be and will the new head coach be able to win over the stars of the team who reportedly Head Coach Brad Stevens lost as the voice of the locker room. Meanwhile on our last show the Celtics had just won game 3 to make it a 2-1 series lead for BKN. The Celtics would then lose the nex 2 games to have their season ended. With game 4 being in Boston with the top story from that game being the incidents that occurred after the game where former Celtics PG now BKN Nets PG Kyrie Irving went to the center of the Celtics court and stomped on the Celtics logo and then smeared his foot as to indicate he was cleaning crap off his foot which caused Celtics fans to take exception then as he walked off the court a fan threw a water bottle at him which then allowed him and fellow superstar Kevin Durant to say Celtics fans are racist. The outrage for both incident was enough that former players including Celtics greats like Cedric Maxwell and KG responded outraged at what happened. So we will give our final thoughts on this season. Adam Taylor of CelticsBlog (@AdamTaylorNBA on Twitter will join us). How do we feel about how the season ended? What about the incident involving Kyrie Irving stomping on the logo and the fan throwing the bottle? Does Brad Stevens need to cater to Tatum and Brown this summer and get their opinions in the next moves?

Danny Ainge steps down as the GM of the Boston Celtics and the Celtics have now made it where head coach Brad Stevens will move from Head Coach to the new President of Basketball Operations for the team. Brad Stevens now will have a crazy offseason filled with responsibilites of now having to find a new Head Coach as well as having to figure out what the Hell to do with this roster in order to get it back into contention with the BRooklyn Nets, Philadelphia 76ers and Milwaukee Bucks. We will do a short quick show to recap this and leave our normal show for Saturday night

The Boston Celtics Friday night got their 1st win over the Brooklyn Nets this season returning to Boston facing an 0-2 defecit looking to avoid and 0-3 defecit to the Brooklyn Nets and now the series is the Nets 2 the Celtics 1 going into Sundays Game 4. The Celtics win 125-119 as Jayson Tatum led the Celtics scoring 50 points outscoring Nets leading score James Harden who had 41. Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving combined for 55 points (Durant 39, Irving 16) in what was Irvings 1st game back in Boston with fans allowed inside the TD Garden. While Tristan Thompson, Marcus Smart and Evan Fournier combined for 59 points (17 Fournier, 19 Thompson, 23 Smart). The win featured the Nets coming out and quickly going up 19-4 making Celtics fans think the team was in for a blowout before a timeout called by head coach Brad Stevens allowed the Celtics to get their heads right and Tatum finally took over. So this sets up a huge game Sunday night where if the Celtics win the series is tied and will guarantee a game 6 in the series while a Nets win means they can eliminate the Celtics when the series shifts back to Brooklyn. Meanwhile during game 3 another thing everyone was looking to keep an eye on was the behavior of the Boston Celtics fans and how they would treat Kyrie Irving. As this was the 1st game that the Nets PG would play in Boston with fans in attendance since he opted to break the promise he made to Celtics fans a few years ago when he said he intended to resign with Boston. Of course Kyrie Irving made things more interesting with his comments of fans in Boston being racists and saying he hoped the fans could keep it clean without any racial comments dealt his way. So what about the reaction towards Kyrie did fans pass in their 1st test since his remarks what could happen Sunday night when the TD Garden will be at full capacity. We will discuss with Milke Dynon (@MikeDynon on Twitter) of Redsarmy.com

The Boston Celtics defeated the Washington Wizards 118-100 Tuesday night in game 1 of the NBA's Play in Tournament and their reward a matchup with the Brooklyn Nets in the 1st round of the NBA Playoffs. Jayson Tatum scored 50 points in that game while Kemba Walker added 29 points and Tristan Thompson had 12 off the bench. Now the Celtics starting Saturday night at 8PM ET will face a Brooklyn Nets team that went 3-0 against the Celtics this season winning by score of 123-95 on Christmas Day, 121-109 on March 11th and 109-104 on April 23rd. Obviously this series is totally different then what we saw in the regular season as during the regular season not one of those matchups saw the Celtics face the Nets with the Nets having Harden, Durant and Kyrie all on the floor together. Meanwhile the Celtics had Jaylen Brown in the Christmas and March 11th games but will not have Jaylen Brown for the remainder of this season as we reported on our last show meaning if the Celtics are gonna somehow get past the Brooklyn Nets they will need to do so without Jaylen Brown. So on tonights show we will preview that series with the Brooklyn Nets. We will discuss was this is a good idea for the Celtics to actually fight for the right to enter the NBA Playoffs as some fans feel with the loss of Jaylen Brown it was a foregone conclusion you would not beat either Brooklyn of Philadelphia in round 1 so would Boston had been better off losing the Play In Tournament and going into the Lottery then playing a few more games and now having to accept losing to former teammate Kyrie Irving and his new team? What about the actual schedule for this series. We will announce it for those who follow our show but are not members of our group. Also what are the NBA Experts saying as of right now for this series is anyone giving Boston a chance to win this series or is it all Brooklyn and all in 4 games. We will discuss

Celtics fan hopes that the team would do something big once the NBA Playoffs roled around come next week may have evaporated over the last week and now Celtics fans might just have to start thinking about next season. On last weeks edition of Celtics Talk Radio the Celtics were sitting in sole possession of 6th place in the Eastern Conference 1 game ahead of the Miami Heat with 2 matchups against Miami coming up in the next week that could determine who would be the 6th and final team to get a top 6 seed in the Eastern Conference. Since that show things went as bad as any one could have imagined for the Celtics. As the Celtics not only lose both games to the Miami Heat giving the Heat the season series hence giving them the tiebreaker and locking them in as a top 6 seed but the Celtic also lost Jaylen Brown to a season ending injury which now makes it where the Celtics will have to go to the NBA's play in tournament knowing they will have to win a game against 1 of 4 different opponents without JAylen Browns services just to then earn the right to face either the Philadelphia 76ers or the Brooklyn Nets or the Milwaukee Bucks in round 1 of the NBA Playoffs and if the Celtics can not win 1 game then their season will end without seeing a best of 7 playoff series this season. We will be joined by Warren Shaw (@ShawSportsNBA on twitter) co-host of the NBA-Baseline Podcast. As we discuss what should be the reasonable expectations now that Jaylen Brown is out. Should we atleast expect the team to get out of the Play In Tournament or should fans be satisfied they atleast made it to the Play In Tournament. What about the season overall injuries has been the top problem should the team be cut some slack knowing they will go the entire season without having a single game without the entire roster available? What about the format of the Play In Tournament and when will the games be we will discuss that on this edition of Celtics Talk Radio

We are going into our final full week of the NBA Regular Season. The Celtics have 5 games left and know they will be seeing some action in the NBA Playoffs the only question is will their NBA Playoff path start with a 1st round best of 7 playoff series via the 3/6 or 4/5 match or will they end up in a play in tournament knowing that their reward for winning that tournament is a playoff series with either the #1 seed or #2 seed in the Eastern Conference. The Celtics now sit at 35-32 and 7th in the Eastern Conference which is the top spot in that play in tournament but the Celtics are just 1 game back of the 6th seeded Miami Heat for the last spot that guarantees that you avoid that play in tournament and get a 1st round best of 7 matchup with 2 games against the Heat schedule this upcoming week. Literally the next 2 games for the Boston Celtics which will be home games for the Celtics against the Miami Heat could very well determine the Celtics entire playoff path depending on what happens also with the New York Knicks as well as the Milwaukee Bucks and Brooklyn Nets in the next week. The Celtics are still within shouting distance of the Knicks and Hawks who occupy the 4th and 5th seeds however only the #1 seed appears to be set in stone with the 76ers. The Milwaukee Bucks and Brooklyn Nets are tied with 5 games to go for the 2nd and 3rd seeds meaning if Celtics fans want a specific 1st round matchup theres almost no way to know which seed to grab to guarantee it at this point. We will discuss all of it and te scenarios as well as whats the latest on the teams health and state of mind so close to the Playoffs as we will be joined by Rich Conte (@Richconte on twitter) Producer and Host of the TechLifePod Podcast.

No Durant, No James Harden, Kyrie Irving only scores 15 vs the Celtics without Jaylen Brown, Kemba Walker and Jayson Tatum scores 38 you would think Boston has the game. NOT SO FAST LADIES AND GENTLEMAN. The Celtics had that happen Friday night and sure enough it was proven that there is no game that is a guaranteed win with them as the Celtics were defeated 109-104 giving the Brooklyn Nets a 3-0 Season Series sweep making it that the Celtics finished all their games against the Eastern Conferences top 3 teams with no wins against the top 2 seeds in the 76ers and the Nets and a 2-1 record against the Milwaukee Bucks. Many expected the Celtics to lose this game to begin with as the Celtics were playing a rested Nets team while the Celtics were on the 2nd night of a back to back. Both sides were missing key players which was a theme in all 3 matchups this season. So the Celtics finished the last week at 2-2 beating the Warriors and the Suns but losing to the Bulls and the Nets. How should we feel about this team now knowing theres only 3 weeks left before the NBA Playoffs begin and the team has injuries to several players specifically key players and now the Celtics now have shown if they have any chance of getting beyond the 2nd round its because they somehow get matched up with the Milwaukee Bucks. Also with 3 weeks left its time to be focusing on the standings and making moves to think about the playoff matchups. The Celtics sit in the 6th seed and are fighting to avoid falling into the 7 through 10 spots as that would make them get into the play in tournamet and would force a potential 1st round matchup with Philly or Brooklyn at this point. Which matchup should the Celtics be aiming for. We discuss with our special guest Mike Dynon (@MikeDynon on twitter, Writer for RedsArmy.com

The Celtics on our last show were fresh off getting beaten by the 76ers for the 3rd and final time in the regular season giving the 76ers the knowledge that they will be undefeated against the Celtics if they meet in the playoffs. The team was being called out by fans and NBA Analysts for not getting the job done a single time and since then have now played 5 games. The first 2 we discussed on our last show which were a 145-136 OT win over the Timberwolves and a 101-99 win over the Knicks. Since our last show the Celtics went on a 3 game Western Conference Road trip which saw them play 3 of the better teams in the Western Conference in the Nuggets, Trailblazers and Lakers. The Celtics managed to keep the win streak alive by defeating the Denver Nuggets in the Road Trip opener 105-87 where despite trailing going into the 4th the Celtics used a 31-8 4th quarter advantage to blow out the Nuggets. This game saw all 4 Boston Starters score in double figures. Then 2 nights later the Celtics were victorious 116-115 over the Portland Trailblazers in a game that saw both teams keep it close with the largest lead being only 9 points and once again all 5 Boston starters scored in double digits this time with atleast 13 points a piece. 2 nights later the Celtics took on the Lakers in a game that saw the Lakers play without Lebron James and Anthony Davis as well as a number of their main players. The Celtics managed to go up by close to 30 before ultimately Brad Stevens opted to take out their main players and placed the 3rd unit in and saw in a span of 5 minutes the game transformed to a 2 possession game before Brad Stevens had to send out members of the 1st and 2nd unit to finish the job for the last 2 minutes of the game. We will be joined by Adam Taylor (@AdamTaylorNBA on twitter) of CelticsBlog as we discuss the last 3 games. Did the 3rd unit proved they shouldnt see the floor no more? Plus we look towards the showdowns with Phoenix and Brooklyn

The Boston Celtics did battle with the Philadelphia 76ers for the 3rd and final time in the 2020-2021 NBA Regular Season. This would be the 1st time this season the Celtics would play the 76ers with all of their main stars available as in the previous 2 meetings the Celtics had to play without the services of Jayson Tatum but they did still have Kemba Walker, Jaylen Brown and Marcus Smart in both of the first 2 matchups. After losing the first 2 matchups by a combined 20 points the Celtics would go into this game knowing it would be their last chance to prove to their fanbase they can beat this years verson of Joel Embiid and the Philadelphia 76ers. However despite movie being filmed in a new location with some new supporting stars the main stars for Philly again outshined the main stars for Boston in this 3rd and final matchup as the 76ers were victorious 106-96 in a game that saw the 76ers outscore the Celtics by 13 points at the free throw line as the 76ers took more then double the free throws that the Cetics took as the 76ers took 39 free throws making 29 of them while the Celtics took only 18 free throws making 16. So now how should Celtics fans feel about the Celtics. When looking at the 3 main teams in the Eastern Conference in the Brooklyn Nets, Philadelphia 76ers and the Milwaukee Bucks the Celtics are now 2-6 having lost all 3 games to the 76ers with no more matchups to go, winning the season series over the Milwaukee Bucks with 2 wins to 1 loss, then the Celtics have 1 more game to go with the Nets having lost both games already this season. So with Bobby Krivitsky we will discuss the last week of Boston Celtics action including that loss to the 76ers and discuss where the Celtics now stand in the Eastern Conference and if it may just be time for fans to accept that we are likely headed for the play in tournament rather then a top 4 seed in the East

The NBA Trade Deadline passed this past Thursday with the Celtics making 2 deals before the deadline. The 2 moves had Celtics fans going at it with each other on whether they liked or hated the moves but also had Celtics/NBA insiders and Reporters viewing the moves as Danny Ainges way of saying he is giving up on the season and is already looking towards the 2021/2022 NBA Season. The Celtics this past Wednesday night played the Milwaukee Bucks with several players on the team wondering if they were playing in their final game as members of the Boston Celtics 1 of those players being Marcus Smart whos name was rumoed to be moved to Orlando for Aaron Gordon. The Celtics had their chance to win at the buzzard but a wide open 3 by Daniel Theis in the corner hit the back of the rim and bounced out sealing a 2 point win for the Bucks. The next afternoon Danny Ainge made a trade for soon to be free agent Guard Evan Fournier. The Celtics in exchange sent 2 2nd round picks to Orlando and 17.5 Million out of the 28 million dollar Gordon Hayward TPE. Danny Ainge ultimately finished his day with a 3 team trade sending Celtics starting C Daniel Theis to Chicago and backup PG Jeff Teague and G Javonte Green to Washington in exchange for soon to be free agents C Luke Kornet and F Moritz Wagner. This deal was the Celtics way of getting themselves under the Tax line and it was reported it was likely Ainge would not add any more players the rest of the season. The next night it was Celtics vs Bucks round 2. The Celtics started Robert Williams at Center and it seemed like a new team with more energy and Boston won 122-114. So how do we feel about the moves? Did Danny Ainge officially give up and what are the media members saying about his decision and how is it likely gonna impact the future? How about the Celtics and the Bucks games did the Celtics performances change our mind on the teams outlook for the season?
