The Boston Celtics have a new head coach in former Brooklyn Nets assistant Ime Udoka, and former Celtic big man Al Horford made his first appearance with the press after his trade back to the team from the Oklahoma City Thunder.

With all this in mind, we felt we needed to make an early podcast appearance to discuss some of the significant goings-on with the team, taking the temperature of the Udoka hire and talking through our excitement --and Al's -- for the return of Horford to the Celtics. In a week of significant change for the team, we just couldn't wait any longer to talk through some serious developments for Boston.

Listen to the podcast embedded below to get up to speed on the Celtics' new coach, Horford's fit in today's Boston roster and more with your usual hosts Justin Quinn, Alex Goldberg and Cameron Tabatabaie.
