The Boston Celtics limped into the seventh seed — in some cases, literally — as a season full of injuries, COVID and bad luck knocked their title aspirations down a couple of notches.

Down All-Star wing Jaylen Brown, and operating with a hobbled Rob Williams III (if he can even play at all), the Celtics kick off their series with the Nets this Saturday. Can they hope to steal a game? Is winning the series entirely off the table?
The hosts of the CLNS Media semi-eponymous “Ryan and Goodman” podcast Bob and Jeff, respectively, do their best to answer these questions ahead of the series’ tipoff this weekend.
