Celtics Life Nba Basketball Podcast

We all knew it was coming. Win streaks are streaks because they have both a start and an end, and the end for the Boston Celtics came Wednesday night against the Miami Heat. 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. They also check in on the rest of the league, and take stock of who might be looking like contenders or lottery teams come spring. Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/celtics-lab-nba-basketball-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Improbably, the Boston Celtics win streak continues unabated. The Golden State Warriors came to crush the upstart Celts like a bug, but left with a bad taste in their mouth instead. The Brooklyn Nets couldn't sneak up on Boston beforehand, nor the Atlanta Hawks afterwards. Poorly fitting masks were nothing compared to the tragedy Jaylen Brown played through, but both were non-factors in stopping him or Kyrie Irving this week, with big nights from Marcus Morris, Al Horford, and solid effort from the starters to the deep rotation have made a season that started as rough as one can into something of a spectacle for all the right reasons. Join Luís Gonzalez and Justin Quinn as they break down how this came to pass, what's ahead, and how they're feeling about Boston's short- and long-term future.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/celtics-lab-nba-basketball-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy Hosted by Simplecast, an A

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

The week before the Boston Celtics face off with the defending champion Golden State Warriors, Kyrie Irving got his face broken by Aron Baynes, Jayson Tatum tweaked his ankle, and the Cs still managed to keep their streak alive. Twelve games deep, they now sit atop the league with sole possession of first place, and we're all collectively pinching ourselves, waiting for the dream to go down with a loss. It would seem logical the Warriors would be the team to knock them down a peg, but could the game before (the Brooklyn Nets) or after (the Atlanta Hawks) sneak up on Boston while it focuses on Golden State? Join Mark Allison and Justin Quinn as they discuss the streak, Kyrie Irving's newest accessory, potential options to fill the Disabled Player Exception (DPE), and much, much 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 Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz co

The Boston Celtics are riding a nine-game winning streak and now hold the best record in the entire NBA. Topher Lane and Mark Allison break down what's gotten them to this point, and whether or not this C's team is for real. Some stellar play from the young guns in Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum is a big part of the Celtics early success, but can either of them realistically take home some individual accolades at the end of the season? And the Cleveland Cavaliers have been bust-outs so far, do the Celtics have enough without Gordon Hayward to usurp the King in the East?         Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/celtics-lab-nba-basketball-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The CelticsLife mid-week podcast is back, bringing you interviews and important news that just can't wait for the weekly pod. CelticsLife's resident Brit, Josh Coyne, connected with professional musician and NBA fanatic Dan Bailey during his world tour with Father John Misty. As a lifelong Los Angeles Lakers fan, Bailey spoke with Josh about the famous rivalry, the Lakers' development, his thoughts on Boston's competitive youngsters and his playing days. Both kept control of their fandom for the most part and only a couple of expletives were uttered while they waxed poetic about past Lakers-Celtics history, the state of this season's NBA in general, and what life is like for a professional musician with a basketball jones.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/celtics-lab-nba-basketball-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

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 thi

NBA basketball has returned to our lives, but Gordon Hayward (and quite a few other players) won't be on the court for a while. This week, Topher Lane and Justin Quinn break down Hayward's injury and what it means for the Boston Celtics' future, as well as offering up their theories on what could be behind the unusually high number of early-season non-contact injuries that is currently plaguing the league. They break down the first week's action, and take a little solace in the demise of the evil emperor after news Louisville and former Celtics coach (and GM) Rick Pitino is canned with just cause in a federal fraud case involving kickbacks to families of NCAA recruits. The season isn't even 10 days old and it's already been a roller coaster of a ride, so buckle up - we've got a long way to go, folks.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/celtics-lab-nba-basketball-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy Hosted by Simplec

This week, Topher Lane and Justin Quinn struggle through the first slow week of the offseason by diving deep into the ephemera of who is speaking to whom. Isaiah Thomas spoke to the media, Paul Pierce to Ray Allen, and several ex-Celtics spoke with their agents as they inked new deals with new teams.

The Cleveland Cavaliers are trying to shake down the Boston Celtics, and it's not going to work.
