10 teams have stepped up and 10 teams have fallen victim in a row to the Boston Celtics. The Boston Celtics despite players missing time to injuries (Gordon Hayward, Robert Williams, Daniel Theis, Enes Kanter) or to sickness (Jaylen Brown) have not lost a single game since their opening night loss back on October 23rd to the Philadelphia 76ers. On our last show the Celtics were up to a 6 game win streak after having beaten the Bucks, Knicks, Cavs and Hornets. The Celtics since then played 4 games. The first of those 4 games saw the Celtics go down to San Antonio and blowout the Spurs 135-115. However the victory did come at a price as Celtics small forward Gordon Hayward suffered a dislocated hand in the 2nd quarter and would be forced to leave the game. The Celtics announced 2 days later that Hayward would need surgery and would miss about 6 weeks of action meaning he would be expected to return around Christmas time. The same night the Celtics broke the news on Haywards injury status and timeline the Celtics were back in Boston to take on the Dallas Mavericks. The Celtics despite Jayson Tatum having one of the worst games of his short career were victorious 116-106 as Kemba Walker and Jaylen Brown combined for 54 points outscoring the Mavericks star duo of Luka Doncic and Kristaps Porzingis 54 to 38. 2 nights later the Celtics welcomed back former teammate Isaiah Thomas to TD Garden with his new team the Washington Wizards. The Celtics were victorious in a shootout 140-133 in a game that saw the Celtics have 7 players score in double figures ranging from 10 to 25 points. 2 nights later the Celtics were in GS to face the rebuilding Warriors. The Celtics despite having the worst game of the season pulled it out late 105-100 to keep the streak alive. We will discuss the top storylines from these games and preview the next 4 with Rich A Jensen (@RichAJensen) of RedsArmy.com and Celtics Journalist Chris Langseth (@Hans02421)

TALK ABOUT MAKING A STATEMENT. The Boston Celtics looking to prove that they are still a force to be reckoned with in the Eastern Conference and that its not just a 2 team race for the right to go to the NBA Finals made their point. The Celtics last Wendesday night took on Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks in their 1st showdown since the Bucks ousted the Celtics in the 2nd round of the NBA Playoffs last season. The Celtics went into this game without the services of Jaylen Brown and Center Enes Kanter. The Celtics despite going down 19 points early in the game managed to overcome that defecit with a dominant 3rd quarter performance which saw Brad Stevens ditch the small ball lineup and move to a more traditional lineup of 3 guards and 2 big in route to a 116-105 win. Kemba Walker scored 32 points, Jayson Tatum added 25, Gordon Hayward scored 21 and Marcus Smart starting in the place of Jaylen Brown scored 19 and had some big time defense played against Antetokounmpo. That game moved the Celtics to 3-1 on the season. The Celtics 2 nights later would face the Knicks for the 2nd time on this season. After blowing out the Knicks a week earlier on the road the Celtics were tested in a 104-102 home win. 4 nights later the Celtic were once again tested by a team that is not expected to be a playoff contender as they took on the Cavs in Cleveland. The Cavs took the Celtics down to the wire but some big shots late from Gordon Hayward and Kemba Walker allowed the Celtics to win the game 119-113. That win moved the Celtics to 5-1 on the season which was good enough for best record in the Eastern Conference.

The Celtics regular season began this past week and the Celtics immediately started with a tough test on opening night as they took on former teammate Al Horford and his new team the Philadelphia 76ers. The Celtics would lose their first big test by a final score of 107-93. A lot of the same issues that appeared to plague the Celtics new top players last year appears to have followed them to the new season. From Tatum mishandling the ball on the fast break and trying to be a 1 man show to Jaylen Browns lack of focus on the defensive end to the Celtics free throw shooting. The only positives to take away from the game were Celtics SG Gordon Hayward being the teams best player as he was their best shooter and was aggressive all night. Also new Celtics big man Enes Kanter showed he may be the Celtics best chance to try and limit Joel Embiid in future matchups. The Celtics 2 nights later would have a chance to try and right the ship when they hosted the defending NBA Champions the Toronto Raptors in their home opener. The Celtics would play without Enes Kanter who was out due to an injury suffered against the 76ers. The Celtics were victorious 112-106 in a game in which Raptors stars Pascal Siakam and Kyle Lowry scored a combined 62 points. The Celtics had a poor shooting night overall but used a 21 to 5 offensive rebound advantage to overcome the hot shooting of the Raptors stars. The Celtics however did lose Daniel Theis to an ankle sprain that would add him to the list of players who would miss the game the next night against the Knicks. The very next night the Celtics were in New York to take on former teammate Marcus Morris and the New York Knicks at MSG. The Celtics again started off slow trailing the Knicks 24-22 after 1 and 51-46 at halftime. However the 2nd half was a different story and the Celtics turned things around in route to a 118-95 win.

The 2019/2020 Boston Celtics have officially played their first NBA games as a team. The Celtics are in the middle of their 4 game preseason. The Celtics have played 2 games the first saw them take on their former teammate Terry Rozier and his new team the Charlotte Hornets. In a game that saw the Celtics come away with a 107-106 win. The game saw Brad Stevens go with a starting lineup of Gordon Hayward, Jayson Tatum, Robert Williams, Kemba Walker and Jaylen Brown, Jayson Tatum led the way with 20 points in 23 minutes. Kemba Walker in his first game as a member of the Celtics scored 12 in 21 minutes. Enes Kanter in his 1st game as a Celtic score 11 off the bench. Rookies Carsen Edwards and Javonte Green added 11 and 15 respectively off the bench. The Celtics were outrebounded 48-41. The Celtics 5 nighs later would take on the Orlando Magic. Kemba Walker would not play due to a knee injury. The Orlando Magic would not have their star big man Nikola Vucevic. Vucevic's absent would prove to be big as the Celtics dominated the Magic from start to finish. The Celtics opened up the game on a 10-0 run before the Magic called timeout. The Celtics ultimately outscored the Magic 35 to 11 in the 1st quarter and would never look back as the Magic never managed to get the game back to single digits the rest of the game. Jayson Tatum for the 2nd game in a row led the Celtics in scoring as he had 15. Marcus Smart added 14, Jaylen Brown had 11 and rookie Grant Williams had 10 off the bench. So the Celtics are now 2-0 on the preseason and have 2 games to go. We will be joined by Warren Shaw (@ShawSportsNBA on twitter) co-host of the NBA Baseline podcase. Also we will be joined by Kevin Dixon Host of N The Zone Sports Radio's show Da Barber Shop. We will discuss the wins over the Hornets and Magic and look forward to the final 2 preseason games which is a home and home set against the Cavaliers

The 2019-2020 Boston Celtics Season is fastly approaching. Stop #1 on the road to the season beginning is Training Camp. The stop where the team will get the chance to let their players gel and introduce their all of the new players to the media and the fans and try to allow head coach Brad Stevens and GM Danny Ainge the chance to answer some of the biggest questions surrounding the team before the Regular Seaosn begins on October 23rd. From the question of whether or not the Celtics will go the route of a small ball starting lineup and play 1 big or more of a traditional lineup and play 2 bigs? To the question of who will start out of the group of Gordon Hayward, Jayson Tatum, Kemba Walker, Jaylen Brown and Marcus Smart and which player or players will be the ones to accept or forced into the bench role and will the Celtics and their fans have to worry about the team chemistry and cohesiveness being disrupted over the issue of whos starting like they did last season? The Celtics Players, Head Coach Brad Stevens, GM Danny Ainge and Ownership will come together for Media Day on September 30th. The very next day October 1st will be the 1st official practice of the Celtics season. Coming into this training camp Jaylen Brown, Jayson Tatum, Kemba Walker and Marcus Smart have already seen game action courtesy of the FIBA World Cup and them representing the USA in the competition.

The 2019 Fiba World Cup Basketball Tournament is underway. The United States who are the reigning World Champions came into the tournament with a totally new look team as a lot of the NBA's top players opted not to play this year in order to focus on preserving themselves for the upcoming 2019/2020 NBA Season which promises to be on heck of a show. That opened up opportunities for several other players to jump on board and represent the USA and try to defend the World Title and prove it doesnt take all the NBA's top teams to win it all. The Boston Celtics had 4 players chosen to be on the USA Roster as Marcus Smart, Kemba Walker, Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown were chosen to join Derrick White, Myles Turner, Mason Plumlee, Donovan Mitchell, Khris Middleton, Brook Lopez, Kyle Kuzma, Joe Harris, De'Aaron Fox and Harrison Barnes as the new version of Team USA. Team USA was put into a bracket with the Czech Republic, Turkey and Japan. Team USA in round 1 would face off with all 3 teams in 1 game a piece and the 2 teams with the top record amongst the 4 would move on to round 2 in the tournament. So how have the Celtics players faired in this competition through 3 games? Have we gotten a chance to see Kemba Walker, Jayson Tatum, Marcus Smart and Jaylen Brown all on the floor together at the same time? With San Antonio Spurs Head Coach Greg Poppovich leading things are we seeing a change in the mindset of Brown and Tatum when it comes to sharing the ball or are we seeing them dominate even in team USA ball? Have their been any suprises that the Celtics players have show us in the first 3 games? We will discuss that and take a closer look at what the 4 Boston Celtics have done through 3 games together as a part of TEAM USA.

The Celtics will play 4 preseason games from October 6th to October 15th. With the first being October 6th against former teammate Terry Rozier and the Hornets. They will also play the Magic and 2 games vs the Cavaliers during this period. Fans can tell many things from analyzing the 82 game schedules of the NBA Teams. From which teams the League feels are the top teams and are most likely to be the ones they would want fighting for the leagues top prize at the end based on how many Nationally Televised games the league gives them. To which teams are having the deck stacked against them based on the amount of back to backs and what teams they are having to face in those back to backs. Many fans are excited for this years season as many feel there are several teams from each conference who will be capable of making it to the NBA Finals and fighting for the leagues top prize. In the Eastern Conference many feel the Celtics are in a 3 team race with the Milwaukee Bucks and Philadelphia 76ers but that right now the Celtics are clearly in 3rd place. So how does the Celtics schedule match up to those 2 teams. Did the league keep it pretty even or stack the deck against the Celtics or against the other teams.

The Veterans of the Young Kids? A Championship contender or a potention rebuild? Those and many other questions have been debated by Danny Ainge and the Boston Celtics and ther fans since back on May 8th when they were eliminated by the Milwaukee Bucks in game 5 of the 2nd round of the NBa Playoffs. Celtics GM Danny Ainge went into the offseason after surviving a Heart Attack knowing he was going to make a major decision of needing to either stick with his veterans and try to win a title right now or give the keys to the kingdom to his young kids and settle for a possible rebuild and look to make a title run that extends over a few years despite the fans not liking it here in Boston. The Celtics at the NBA Draft last week had 4 picks and rather then trading away their picks for a superstar alongside the young kids opted to pick 4 players from the college ranks which pretty much singaled which direction the team would be going. Now Free Agency is here and with the decisions he has made it appears Danny Ainge now has to prepare to lose both of his superstars in Kyrie Irving and Al Horford. What will he do to replace them and bulld this team around Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown. Can he find someone on the market to keep this team in contention or we his moves truly mean Boston is out of title contention for a while. We will discuss what moves have been made through the 1st week of NBA Free Agency as we are joined by Bobby Krivitsky (@BobbyKrivitsky on twitter) New TV Sports Director, Sam Eggert (@Samweggert on twitter) TNH Sports Editor and Celtics Writer for TSJ 101 Sports. We will be also joined by Andrew Vernon who is a lifetime Celtics fan and is a member of the We Bleed Green Celtics fan forum group that the Celtics Talk Radio host teams runs on Facebook.

After a disappointing 2018-2019 NBA season Danny Ainge and the Boston Celtics ended the season with more questions then answers. Including what were they gonna do with their 4 Draft Picks for last nights NBA Draft. For months it had been rumored the Celtics could trade several if not all those picks away to the New Orleans Pelicans in exchange for All-Star big man Anthony Davis however less then a week before the NBA Draft the Pelicans traded him to the Los Angeles Lakers after the Celtics decreased their offer due to their fears that getting Davis would no longer guarantee that Kyrie Irving would resign with the team. Eventually just 48 hours prior to the NBA Draft after reports had come out that the Celtics were starting to prepare for a future without Kyrie Irving news broke that the Celtics were talking with Center Al Horford about him resiging only for later that night the news to break that things in the negotiations had gone south and Horford had broken off the talks with the Celtics and will not look to get a contract somewhere else. This now means the Celtics will be without both Kyrie Irving and Al Horford next season the Celtics still have 2 key players in Marcus Morris and Terry Rozier up in the air with 2 weeks to go before free agency. Many feel Horford walked out because it is looking more lkely that the Celtics are headed to a rebuild with Tatum and Brown as the main stars of the team and will not remain title contenders. So with last nights draft finally taken place and Ainge having 4 picks overall. Can we confirm that a rebuild is exactly where we are heading based on Danny Ainges moves. Did he opt to go with 4 kids out of college rather then trading the picks away? Or did he manage to make a move and get a legit NBA Star and show hes still all in on title contention?
