CLPod 74: The Cs teams that never were, late summer moves & more / Two months out from the start
CLPod 74: The Cs teams that never were, late summer moves & more / Two months out from the start of the regular season, and nearly half as long from camp, more than a few of us are starting to get antsy without basketball to watch.With that in mind, we decided it was time to dust off the microphones and record an episode of the CLPod to talk about the (very few) moves of note going down since the last time we recorded two weeks ago.And with the team in a liminal space between seasons, neither last season's Celtics nor the next, Mark Allison and Justin Quinn got to thinking about all the different ways this timeline of Boston's journey from one contending squad to the next could have gone differently.So, we put our heads together, and tried to imagine how the Cs might look if Danny Ainge had kept the last title team together longer, or if Brad Stevens had said no, or if Boston hadn't signed Al Horford, or...well, you'll have to listen to hear them all.So, if you're as ready as we are for some real, live NBA games that count, you're going to have to wait a while. But if you want some news and analysis on not just this timeline, but several others we don't happen to be on, buckle up and listen to this week's CLPod - we have at least another month of doldrums ahead of us, and a lot to be thankful for, if our thought experiments are as realistic as we think they are.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/celtics-lab-nba-basketball-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

The roster is largely the same apart from a few veterans to help man the power forward and center positions. Can they challenge the big three of Boston, Toronto and Philadelphia? How might the coaching change impact the play of Giannis? Portland largely ran it back apart from their most important front court player off of the bench and their most important back court player off of the bench.

CLPod 72: Free agency is cooling off - will Lakers-Celtics heat up come fall? / The summer free agency period has mostly cooled off, leaving a few loose ends around the league.For the Boston Celtics, that would be Marcus Smart's still-unresolved free agency, while for other teams, like Boston's storied rivals, the Los Angeles Lakers, well - let's just say they still have a lot of work to do.After scoring what many thought was the early coup of summer free agency in signing LeBron James, the Lake Show has not had much go their way, perhaps badly enough to force the team to reconsider championship aspirations until February, if not later.For those of us hoping to crush James in our least favorite uniform, well, we might have to put that thought on hold for a bit - but maybe not! We decided to balance the scales with how we evaluated the Celtics offseason to date (as well as the state of the Celtics-Lakers rivalry) with friend of the show, former NBA scout and Lakers fan Alton LaBrecque, so get yourself some earphones, a speaker, or your laptop, and join Justin Quinn in this week's podcast.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/celtics-lab-nba-basketball-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

But that's what happened when Joel Embiid got a respectable lead at home, and when the Philadelphia 76ers beat the Miami Heat in the first round to earn a second-round matchup with an injury-riddled Boston Celtics. Even Las Vegas oddsmakers favored Philly, but three games to one later, the score is a little clearer on several accounts. Join Topher Lane and Justin Quinn as they break down the 76ers home stretch of the series, the...interesting officiating of Game Four, the games ahead in this series and beyond, and a whole lot more.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/celtics-lab-nba-basketball-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

CL Pod 63: Talking Boston's Playoff Future & Beyond With Jeff Siegel / It wasn't long ago Boston Celtics fans
CL Pod 63: Talking Boston's Playoff Future & Beyond With Jeff Siegel / It wasn't long ago Boston Celtics fans were getting ready for the second round of the playoffs after taking an early 2-0 lead in their first-found matchup with the Milwaukee Bucks. - - Two losses and a tied series later, the very short-term future of the team is much less clear, and a number of questions will need answering between now and this summer regardless of how the playoffs shake out. How can Boston counter the newly-energized Bucks, and if they make it past them, what things will they need to address in a second-round matchup? Once the season is over, who will be suiting up come October? Can Boston afford both Marcus Smart and Terry Rozier? How will Danny Ainge structure the team in seasons to come given all the potential star talent already on the roster? - - Our regular listeners have heard the opinions of the CL Pod team on all these issues at one point or another, but with so many important issues headed Boston's way in the coming weeks and month, we decided to call in a special guest to provide expert opinion on all these topics and more. Join us as Justin Quinn welcomes Early Bird Right's Jeff Siegel to shed some light on all things Celtics, and get to know his new site - an invaluable resource for cap nerds and casual fans alike who want to know what makes teams tick, both on-court and off.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/celtics-lab-nba-basketball-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

How 2018 playoffs will get the 2019 Celtics close to Banner 18; Ian Thomsen on his new book, and how the Celtics helped shape LeBron James / Kyle Draper and A. Sherrod Blakely are joined in this episode by Ian Thomsen to discuss the Celtics/Bucks series, a big picture look at where Boston is right now in the NBA landscape, and his new book, “The Soul of Basketball”.Complete show notes:(:30) Kyle and Sherrod talk about the first two games of the series against the Bucks, and how the lack of fight and organization from a talented Bucks’ team has been the most noticeable factor so far.(4:57) Ian Thomsen joins the pod, and starts off talking about how the Bucks need to win the next four games, because there’s now way they’re winning a Game 7 in Boston. (6:30) Ian weighs-in on the Terry Rozier/Eric Bledsoe “feud”. (8:25) Jaylen Brown has been huge for the C’s so far, Thomsen talks about how impressed he’s been with the 2nd year guard this season. (10:44) While in some respects, the logjam of point guards the Celtics have had has hurt Terry Rosier, the benefits have also been great in some aspects, including how to be a leader. Ian references Avery Bradley as a mentor to Rosier on his inconsistent minutes. Thomsen talks about the number of role models and culture the Celtics have built. (12:29) The discussion then moves to how this postseason and the experience the Celtics young players are getting could be a huge factor in Boston being a contender next year, when their health hopefully returns. Ian talks about the only factor that could derail this thinking. (15:00) Thomsen talks about what Danny Ainge might do with Marcus Smart and Terry Rozier, and the possibility they could be used in a trade for Anthony Davis. (16:40) Thomsen then talks about his new book “The Soul of Basketball”, and how Paul Pierce and the Celtics shaped the last 7-8 years of the NBA. Thomsen gives us some great nuggets on the 2010 behind the scenes drama with Rajon Rondo and Ray Allen. Ian’s of the opinion that Paul Pierce, the Celtics, and the 2007 NBA Draft lottery had a lot to do with LeBron’s decision to leave Cleveland for Miami.(25:00) Kyle and Sherrod take a quick trip around the NBA playoffs, discussing the Cavs/Pacers series, along with OKC/Utah and New Orleans/Portland.Find Ian Thomsen on Twitter @IanThomsen | More Twitter Follows: @ASherrodBlakely @KyleDraperTV @NBCScelticsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

But this Bucks squad is far from invulnerable, so long as Boston plays the series well. The rest of the field is looking pretty beatable, from the one seed to the eighth, so we may see more upsets in both the Eastern and Western Conferences than we have in a long time.

With the seeding for the Eastern Conference coming into focus as we enter the last week-and-a-half in the regular season, we've got a better idea of who Boston might be facing, but if the team is missing much of its backcourt and a fair amount of the rest of their roster, will they even see the second round? - - More importantly, what do the Celtics have under the hood? Who might return from this year's unrestricted free agents? Do we have any potential stars on the roster? How does our depth look as the team gets older? Should we be worried about how all these insuries might affect the future play of guys with few if any years left on their deals? Join Mark Allison and Justin Quinn as they try to divine the Cs' future - this season, and into the next few.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/celtics-lab-nba-basketball-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

The starters have shown signs of life despite being left for dead by the national media, and the second unit keeps on fighting despite losing several key parts, much like the Black Knight. But what other moves has Boston made to address their significant lack of depth, and how are the playoffs looking this week? Maybe most interesting of all, why are beat writers penning missives to their lack of yearning for a departed former player six months after said exit? All these questions and more are answered by Luis Gonzales and Justin Quinn in this week's podcast.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/celtics-lab-nba-basketball-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

CLPod 56: Hayward's Out, Monroe's Fitting In, & Early Playoff Preview / With coach Brad Stevens making his most definitive statement yet about Gordon Hayward not coming back this year and Greg Monroe finally starting to look like he understands the Boston Celtics' system, it's been something of a rollercoaster of a week in terms of news. Luis Gonzalez and Justin Quinn take stock of where Boston sits with the three-fourths of the season behind us, how the playoff situation is shaping up in terms of seeding, and whether something needs to be done with all the teams tanking right now. So, join them as they navigate the rapidly-approaching post-season picture - there's a lot to consider, and the stakes are high.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/celtics-lab-nba-basketball-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

135 - Trade-Deadline Wrap-up, Cavs Future, Knicks without Kristaps, Lakers Notes / Phew, well, that was something. - Despite plenty of people predicting a stagnant NBA trade deadline, this year's transaction party lived up to its usual chaotic billing. The Cavaliers completely re-made their roster on the fly—without giving up their Nets pick. The Lakers now have a clear path to two max-contract slots in free agency. The Knicks may have, possibly, for once, made a good trade. The Pistons beefed up their wing rotation. - Even the teams that didn't do anything substantive left a spate of questions in their wake: Did the Clippers make a mistake not trading DeAndre Jordan or Avery Bradley? Should the Thunder have acquired an Andre Roberson replacement? Were the Grizzlies foolish to keep Tyreke Evans? Did the Celtics miss an opportunity by not making a single deal? How about the 76ers? And should the Hornets have traded Kemba Walker rather than acting as buyers? - Bleacher Report's Grant Hughes (@gt_hughes) joins Hardwood Knocks to break down every single solitary storyline and wrinkle in the aftermath of another NBA trade deadline. From Jae Crowder's fit with the Jazz, to the Timberwolves inevitably signing Derrick Rose, to the Kings mucking up yet another series of transactions, we've got it all.

CLP 52: Greg Monroe, Marcus Smart & The Calm Before The Trade Deadline / As the trade deadline draws close, the Boston Celtics have a host of hard decisions to make. - - - Having reportedly won the Greg Monroe sweepstakes, they now have to navigate a minefield of personnel decisions without sabotaging contention aspirations both now and in the future. Having won five of six games since Marcus Smart's self-inflicted injury, can Boston part ways with such a big part of the defense they will need to defeat opponents in the later rounds of the playoffs? Or will it matter more to pick up some offense off the bench with a potential Gordon Hayward return potentially rendering such a move pointless? It's a difficult knife-edge to walk, but this week Topher Lane and Justin Quinn discuss the details Danny Ainge and company are trying to sort out - and Banner 18 might just hang in the balance.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/celtics-lab-nba-basketball-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Should the Knicks make a play for him? What about the Spurs? Or perhaps the Cavaliers? - Speaking of the Spurs, they announced on Wednesday Kawhi Leonard would be out indefinitely while dealing with a lingering quad injury. Are they in danger of ceding ground to the Timberwolves and Thunder without him, or will they hold on to the Western Conference's No. 3 seed? Should they possibly consider making a trade? And if so, for who? Tyreke Evans? Avery Bradley? Kemba Walker himself? - The Celtics are also without Kyrie Irving, for now, while he tends to a shoulder injury. Though this setback isn't considered serious, can Al Horford, Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum keep Boston atop the Eastern Conference if its point guard misses signficant time? - And finally, the NBA's All-Star starters are officially official.

To that end, CelticsLife's Justin Quinn has teamed up with Sports Talk Philly's Joshua Liddick to bring you another crossover podcast where they dive into each team's season since we last linked up, how each team looks to take the floor after a stacked December to account for both team's trip across the pond, and we even take a look at how Boston stands in the contention race and whether or not Isaiah Thomas should have his video on the same night as Paul Pierce from an outside perspective. - - Like the December schedule, this episode is jammed full of content, so whether you're putting some petrol in your lorry, home on holiday mowing the garden or eating some chips in your flat, give this podcast a listen - we'll help you translate all the things you need to know for this week's big game. - - - - Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/celtics-lab-nba-basketball-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Get ready to cover some serious ground in advance of the NBA's robust Christmas Day slate. - Who will win the battle of the unicorns, between Kristaps Porzingis and Joel Embiid/Ben Simmons, when the New York Knicks meet the Philadelphia 76ers on Christmas Day? Neither Stephen Curry nor Isaiah Thomas will be ready to rock for Monday's NBA Finals rematch, but can the Golden State Warriors and Cleveland Cavaliers still view this game as a barometer? - The Oklahoma City Thunder are getting frisky. They have the league's best defense, Paul George is shooting a little better, and their offense doesn't stink all the time. Can they stand up to the NBA-best Houston Rockets on Christmas? - Do you know what the Brooklyn Nets and Phoenix Suns have in common? They both have a better defensive rating than the Boston Celtics over the past 10 games. Can the boys in green steady their rickety, rockety ship while squaring off against the Wizards? - Watching the Los Angeles Lakers is fun. Watching the Minnesota Timberwolves is not—unless, of course, Jimmy Butler is going to work in crunch time.

Among the most pressing questions: Do the Boston Celtics deserve perfect marks? Who among the Charlotte Hornets, Miami Heat and Washington Wizards gets a failing grade? Is the Cleveland Cavaliers' recent tear a harbinger of things to come or merely a protracted blip on the radar? - Should the New York Knicks get a favorable grade for hovering around .500? How about the Indiana Pacers? Are the Milwaukee Bucks the biggest underachievers in the conference? Have the Orlando Magic screwed themselves during their latest nosedive? Do the Toronto Raptors warrant—gasp—a Celtics-esque grade? Are there silver linings to plumb for the tanking Atlanta Hawks and Chicago Bulls? - As always, be sure to subscribe to and rate Hardwood Knocks on iTunes.

Full Court Press NBA Podcast Episode 44 – Team Updates for 76ers Cavaliers Wizards Celtics / Full Court Press
Full Court Press NBA Podcast Episode 44 – Team Updates for 76ers Cavaliers Wizards Celtics / Full Court Press NBA Podcast Episode 44 – Team Updates for 76ers Cavaliers Wizards CelticsWe continue our in-season analysis. This week we tried to assess whether the 76ers are a viable 50-win team. They had played an interesting schedule and come out largely successful. They are an incredibly productive team but one that still makes a lot of mistakes. What are those mistakes? Are they correctable this season? Might they look to add another veteran player or two to make themselves a more serious playoff team? Whether they do or don’t we think nobody is going to want to encounter them in any round of the playoffs. Why? The Cavaliers are on a double-digit game winning streak. Is everything fine in Cleveland now? The answer is NO, why? The Wizards are trying to maintain contact with the top 4-5 teams in the Eastern Conference while they await the return of John Wall. How are they doing? The criticized roster depth has not been an issue of recent and has actually been award worthy. Is that issue fixed? The answer is NO. Why? And the Celtics are so boringly good now, already? And without Gordon Heyward? They put in the work and get the results. But is this the roster they want to have when April arrives? The answer in NO. Why?All of this and more.Follow us on Twitter: @willis_glen / @LawtonWillis / @presspodcastFollow us on FaceBook: @fullcourtpressnbaLearn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

When it comes, we wanna wail MAAAAAIIIIIL! - In this week's Hardwood Knocks mailbag, our deep dive into listener questions leads to hypothetical trades for the New York Knicks, Los Angeles Clippers, Washington Wizards, Memphis Grizzlies, Portland Trail Blazers, Charlotte Hornets, Cleveland Cavaliers, Philadelphia 76ers, Oklahoma City Thunder and Atlanta Hawks. (Spoiler: Marc Gasol, DeAndre Jordan, Enes Kanter, Paul George, Carmelo Anthony, Marcin Gortat, Tyreke Evans and Tristan Thompson are all part of these imaginary swaps.) - Oh, but that's not all. - Andy and Dan talk about Avery Bradley's defensive reputation, and his on-off splits with the Detroit Pistons. And then they do the same for Marcus Smart of the Boston Celtics. They also break down the race for the NBA's Most Improved Player Award as well. Is it Kristaps Porzingis? Aaron Gordon? Victor Oladipo? Could it be—protracted gasp—Andre Drummond? - And by the way, if you find yourself wondering what's up with the Philadelphia 76ers, we spend ample time talking about them, too. - Is Ben Simmons on course to be one of the all-time greats? Is he already better than Joel Embiid? How do the Sixers fare when Embiid, Simmons and Robert Covington all play together? Will they ever trade Jahlil Okafor? And where should he go? Chicago? Atlanta? And, finally, will Markelle Fultz play at all this season? - All this, and so much more, is crammed into 73 legendary minutes of hoops talk. - As always, be sure to subscribe to and rate Hardwood Knocks on iTunes.

They also dive into the game this Thursday and the match in London this January. Jesse Larch, Brian Apter, Joshua Liddick and Justin get into Marcus Smart's value to the Celtics, what he might command in free agency, and all kinds of juicy tidbits about each other's teams. There's loads of information about the 76ers, and lots of thoughts on how Boston looks to non-fans, so block off some time and listen to this week's mid-week podcast - we promise you won't walk away without learning something new about our longtime rivals...and maybe even the Celtics, too. - - Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/celtics-lab-nba-basketball-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

116 - Memphis Fires Fizdale, Marc Gasol Trades, Lakers/Cavs/Celtics/Jazz Mailbag / David Fizdale is out as head coach of the Memphis Grizzlies. Assistant coach J.B. Bickerstaff is, for the meantime, in. - Figuring out what this means for the Grizzlies' future takes a couple leaps of faith. It doesn't seem to signify a teardown. Fizdale's removal comes following a 2-11 stretch and some feisty comments from Marc Gasol, one of the franchise's two primary cornerstones. Ousting the head coach reeks of an attempt to incite change for the sake of galvanizing the troops. - And what else could it be? The Grizzlies don't have the assets to launch an ideal rebuilding effort. Gasol and Mike Conley are their only meaningful trade assets, and neither of them is yielding a hot collection of picks and prospects at his respective price point. - Then again, the Grizzlies are 7-12, their playoff hopes fading fast. If they're still struggling to get their heads above water and/or stay healthy by January, it'll be time for a wholesale pivot—time to test the trade market on both Gasol and Conley and whoever else holds value outside Memphis. - Was firing Fizdale the right move? Will the Grizzlies re-insert themselves into the playoff conversation? Which teams could become suitors for Conley and Gasol if they don't? What does Memphis' long-term cap situation look like? - Answers to all these piping-hot questions precede an extensive mailbag that covers everything from Rodney Hood and Lonzo Ball, to hypothetical Cleveland Cavaliers trades and the Boston Celtics offense, to the Oklahoma City Thunder's malaise and Andre Drummond's reinvention. - As always, be sure to subscribe to and rate Hardwood Knocks on iTunes.

Too many times, Boston fell into holes, and this time, they couldn't fight their way back out. There's only so many times you can tempt fate, and while it's frustrating, we learned a lot about this team for its duration. This week, Justin Quinn and Mark Allison break down where the streak places the Celts in terms of the short and longer-term future of the team, as well as where it stands in league history.

Your questions were fantastic, and they allowed us to tackle each of the following, among many other queries: - Will the Philadelphia 76ers' sign a big-time free agent this summer now that Robert Covington and Joel Embiid have their extensions? Should they be in LeBron James-or-bust mode? Who else could they chase? - Where does Dennis Smith Jr. rank among the NBA's best teenagers ever? And, perhaps more importantly, where do the rebuilding Dallas Mavericks go from here? - What's up with the NBA-best Boston Celtics? Is their first-place defense sustainable? Is Kyrie Irving actually a good defender now? Is Brad Stevens an alien? Can they end the Cleveland Cavaliers' Eastern Conference reign? And if not them, then which teams can? - Should Charlotte Hornets head coach Steve Clifford be on the hot seat? Would the team consider tearing it down to the studs if things get really bad, perhaps even testing the trade market for 2019 free-agent Kemba Walker? - Which squad's top-five defense is more sustainable: Portland Trail Blazers or Los Angeles Lakers? How many threes are the Houston Rockets shooting? Is Spencer Dinwiddie the greatest player of all time, or is he just better than D'Angelo Russell? - Y'all: Here's the mail. It never fails.

We share thoughts on the Eric Bledsoe trade and what might happen with Greg Monroe. We hand out our weekly awards and then get into team by team analysis. Why are the Bucks just a .500 team even though they have the most efficient offensive player in the league so far this season? What are the Pistons doing that is so fundamentally different from what they were doing last season? Are the Knicks doing sustainable things? Are the Hawks this bad? Are the Bulls doing right by Lauri Markannen? Is Brad Stephens into voodoo? What are the Wizards trying to be? Where did the Heat hunger go? Does it still exist? Then in our guest segment with Nat Kitaw we talk about positional gravity. Do big men that can shoot from three point range have more gravity than gaurds?

CLPod 041.5: An Interview With Anna Horford / It's been a wild season so far, and the season isn't even a quarter spent. - - From the rollercoaster offseason that brought the Boston Celtics Gordon Hayward and Kyrie Irving to the freak accident that took Hayward down in the season opener all the way to the streak that put them on top of the league on the eve of their showdown with the reigning champion Golden State Warriors, this has been a season for the ages. And if you think it's been intense as a fan, imagine what it's like for the families of the team as they've fought their way onto the top of NBA standings despite the early adversity - which is exactly why CelticsLife's UK correspondant Josh Coyne linked up with Anna Horford, sister of Boston's star big man Al Horford, and renowned NBA Twitter personality in her own right. - - They get into the offseason, the injury, the winning streak and life beyond the basketball court, diving into some controversial but important issues, and even share some thoughts on the best places to visit in the city of Boston for a bite to eat. Check out the talk for yourself, and if you have anything you'd like Anna to know about where you head for dinner before a trip to TD Garden (or anything else), leave a comment below or write her yourself on Twitter.

110 - Is This Real Life? Sustainability Index for NBA's Hottest Starts / If only every absurdly hot start to the 2017-18 NBA season could last forever. - Sadly, though, life on the hardwood doesn't work like that. Some blistering beginnings are for real. Others? Not so much. They're protracted smokescreens—players and teams capitalizing on fiery streaks and relative early-season laxity and unpreparedness from opponents. - Where do some of this year's most notable starts fall on the "Is this real life?" scale? - Andy and Dan tackle the biggest, baddest, bestest standouts, ultimately deciding whether they're flashes in the pan or signs of a new normal. - Yes, this means lots and lots and lots of Giannis Antetokounmpo and Ben Simmons talk. It also means we'll be cannonballing into the suddenly awesome Indiana Pacers and Orlando Magic. The Boston Celtics' defense and the Memphis Grizzlies' bench will be making cameos as well. So, too, will Ricky Rubio, DeMarcus Cousins and Anthony Davis' three-point shooting. And Stephen Curry's return to MVP form. And greatest-of-all-time-candidate Mike James. And Unicorn O.G. Kristaps Porzingis. And, well, you get the gist—we're burning through a bunch of topics. There may or may not even be a Donovan Mitchell tangent along the way. - Don't forget to check out the first part of this early-season series, wherein we deliver "Panic or Nah?" verdicts for the NBA's coldest starts.

Will/should Gordon Hayward come back? Are the Cavs REALLY in trouble? / Kyle Draper and A. Sherrod Blakely talk about the Celtics impressive win streak after losing their first two games. (3:00) Kyrie Irving has been a catalyst for the win streak, but maybe not in the ways you would've expected. (8:05) Gordon Hayward spoke with the media for the first time since his injury...will he return this season? Should he? (12:40) The Celtics have a DPE they can use to go get a player, and Sherrod and Kyle discuss whether they will use it, on who, and specifically talk about the rumors surrounding Jahlil Okafor.(15:00) Steve Kyler of Basketball Insiders is our guest to talk about a team he is familiar with, the surprising Orlando Magic. Also, Kyler talks about whether he expected the Celtics to be playing this well after the Hayward injury, and whether the Cavs are in real trouble, or whether it's just a matter of 'flipping the switch' like they have done in previous seasons.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

CLPod 039: Getting A Feel For The Celtics In A League-wide Weird Start / There's never been a start like this to an NBA season before. - - From Gordon Hayward's brutal injury just minutes into the start of the 2017-18 NBA season up to today, the whole league has been throwing curveballs before the assocation has made it two full weeks into the regular season. Hayward's misfortune was followed by a rash of injuries around the league, and the presumptive NBA Finals opponents currently have a .500 record between them seven games in, leaving people wondering if the Cleveland Cavaliers and Golden State Warriors matchup is as inevitable as it felt way back in September. - - Meanwhile, the Detroit Pistons and Memphis Grizzlies sit atop their respective conferences despite predictions both would be well-served with a major teardown, and the Boston Celtics are somehow a top-five defensive team with one of the best records in the NBA. Join Luís Gonzalez and Topher lane as they try to make sense of all the strange things going down in the league, and what the Celts might do going forward.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/celtics-lab-nba-basketball-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

89 - Let the Kyrie Irving Era Begin: 2017-18 Boston Celtics Preview / Posting the best record in the East
89 - Let the Kyrie Irving Era Begin: 2017-18 Boston Celtics Preview / Posting the best record in the East and earning a trip to the Conference Finals did not stop the Boston Celtics from wheeling and dealing over the offseason. - Team president Danny Ainge overhauled nearly two-thirds of the minutes represented from last year's squad to form a new-look faction built around Kyrie Irving, Gordon Hayward and Al Horford. The names are flashy, the roster well-stocked, but this reinvention came at the expense of key core members, including Avery Bradley, Jae Crowder, Kelly Olynyk and Isaiah Thomas. That makes it a gamble—a big one. - That the Celtics embraced this extensive shakeup at all suggests they're not done straddling two timelines. More than that, it implies they care far more about being the next-superpower-up, rather than the foremost threat to current juggernauts like the Golden State Warriors and Cleveland Cavaliers. - Indeed, the Celtics might still be that team. The Eastern Conference is a mess of sub-mediocrity below the Cavaliers, and they have the talent to run off 50-something wins without playing perfect basketball. But shifts of this magnitude take time to hash out. Ainge and Irving have already hinted this group won't jell together overnight, or even close to it. They'll labor through growing pains, perhaps struggling to match up with last year's 53-win performance. - Still, they haven't thrown in the towel on 2017-18. Again: They have the talent to compete with almost anyone. As for how long it takes for them to reach their ceiling, well, that's a topic for Vice Sports' Michael Pina (@MichaelVPina). - As always, be sure to subscribe to and rate Hardwood Knocks on iTunes.

FCP 033 - Sixers Lakers Offseason Updates and guest segment with Nat Kitaw / The Philadelphia 76ers and Los Angeles Lakers are two of the most exciting young teams entering this season. The Sixers are clearly ahead in their process (the word has been ruined) as they’ve been accumulating talent at the top if the draft for a number of years now. The Laker just drafted the player the want to build around but have other interesting young players such as Brandon Ingram and Julius Randle. This episode specifically focuses on what the expectations should be from these teams and their players. The number of wins they can realize this season is far less important than other development objectives. We dive into all of this and more. Also Nat Kitaw joins us to share thought on a recent article he wrote about Kyrie Irving and if he sees the result of his analysis any differently now that Kyrie Irving is with Brad Stephens and the Boston Celtics.

85 - Goodbye Kyrie: 2017-18 Cleveland Cavaliers Preview with Carter Rodríguez / The Cleveland Cavaliers are never uninteresting. - It doesn't matter whether they're getting hammered for not being as good as the Golden State Warriors or lauded for pulling off the greatest NBA Finals comeback ever in 2016. We never run out of things to discuss when it comes to LeBron James' teams. - This upcoming season is no different. In fact, it's more of the same...on steroids. The Cavaliers indulged Kyrie Irving's surprise trade request, sending him to the Boston Celtics in exchange for Jae Crowder, Isaiah Thomas, Ante Zizic and the Brooklyn Nets' 2018 first-round pick. Though there have been mixed reactions to the Cavaliers' situation, the general consensus is this: They received a phenomenal return on Irving's departure and remain set up to blitz through the Eastern Conference. - Questions remain, though. - How will LeBron respond to Irving's exit? Might we see him go hard after his fifth MVP award? Or will he perhaps crack, ever so slightly, under an increased workload in his 15th season? - What will Kevin Love's role look like in the Cavaliers' offense this year? Will Thomas get healthy? How much of an impact will Crowder have? Can Cleveland trade Iman Shumpert already? Is Tristan Thompson still underated? Is the Carmelo Anthony-to-Cleveland dream dead or alive? - Carter Rodríguez of Fear The Sword and The Chase Down podcast joins Hardwood Knocks to wrap up the Irving trade, talk shop on the Cavaliers' 2017-18 outlook and figure out if they're now built to contend with the Warriors. - As always, be sure to subscribe to and rate Hardwood Knocks on iTunes.

FCP 031 – Wizards Nuggets Offseason Updates / The Washington Wizards rose in the Eastern Conference in the 2016-17 season but the two teams that finished in the top two seeds, the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Boston Celtics, and faced off in the Eastern Conference Finals made a trade, that we discussed on last week’s episode, that shifts the near term and longer-term power structure in the conference. Where does that leave the Wizards? They are bringing back the same core with another modest attempt to add bench depth, will it move the needle in one direction or the other? Also, how does the backcourt of John Wall and Bradley Beal rank with the other great backcourts in the league. The Denver Nuggets finally landed their marquee free agent Paul Millsap, the roster around him and the emerging Nikola Jokic is deep. But does the roster construction as it stands today make sense from a fit perspective? There is a gap at the wing, is there a way for the Nuggets to use the resources they currently have to address it?
