The Celtics are officially in "survival mode" as they grind through a dreary schedule and snowy New England weather ahead of the trade deadline. 
It's been a strange stretch of games, highlighted by a double-overtime thriller against the Nets and a "fever dream" buzzer-beater from Hugo Gonzalez. We dive into why Hugo's undeniable impact, Sam Hauser’s career-best shooting stretch, and the reality of Jaylen Brown and Derrick White carrying the load while the team awaits a healthy Jason Tatum.
Plus, a quick look at the Patriots' improbable Super Bowl run and why shovelling snow is actually amazing.

The Survival Mode Celtics

Welcome to First to the Floor, a Boston Celtics channel bringing you levelheaded overreactions, occasional coherent analysis, and a few laughs (we hope). The First to the Floor team, Ben Vallis, Jake Issenberg, and Wayne Spooney, might not be traditional members of the media, but that’s some of our charm. As part of the CLNS Network, we have unique access to great guests like Abby Chin, Chris Forsberg, Drew Carter, and sometimes we even let Barstool’s Dan Greenberg join. No matter how you like your Celtics content, we’ve got you covered. Between full-length pods, live game watch-a-longs, articles for Celticsblog, clips, and film breakdowns, let us be your spot for everything Celtics. We aren’t in this for the money (otherwise we’d all be homeless by now), we do it because it’s fun. And what makes it fun is interacting with our listeners. F2TF isn’t just a podcast, it’s a community. So, jump into the community, join the Discord, subscribe on YouTube and your favorite podcast app.
