Celtics Lab 183: Sizing up the Hawks series after an Atlanta win with Nick Gelso

Have the Hawks found the formula to beat the Celtics, or was this simply a desperate team getting over on a ball club that dropped its guard just enough to be mortal after building a 2-0 series lead?

The saying goes that you do not have a series in the NBA playoffs until a team wins a game on the road. Despite the fact the Boston Celtics dominated Games 1 and 2 at home, the Atlanta Hawks showed signs of life on their own court, winning Game 3 convincingly.

Have the Hawks found the formula to beat the Celtics, or was this simply a desperate team getting over on a ball club that dropped its guard just enough to be mortal after building a 2-0 series lead? Could Atlanta win another at home and draw the series out to six or even seven games?

What needs to change for a Boston series win, if anything? What went wrong in State Farm Arena on Friday night? And how is Boston’s path to the finals looking in light of everything else happening around the league?

The hosts of the CLNS Media “Celtics Lab” podcast (powered by Fan Duel and BetterHelp) got together with the founder of the CLNS Media Network Nick Gelso to talk it over, as well as get caught up on news in the league more generally.

Celtics Lab 182: On Derrick White’s rise, Trae Young’s troubles, and what we can learn from the Hawks series with Max Lederman

How important is White’s breakout play for the Celtics’ title hopes? And what else can this series tell us about the rest of Boston’s postseason?

The Atlanta Hawks have struggled in their first-round series against the Boston Celtics, and the limiting of Hawks star Trae Young and the rising of Boston guard Derrick White have been two major reasons. Now, the series is heading to Atlanta with the Celtics holding a 2-0 lead.

Can the Hawks make it a series with the small ball lineup that found a modicum of success against Boston in the second half of Game 2? How important is White’s breakout play for the Celtics’ title hopes? And what else can this series tell us about the rest of Boston’s postseason?

To answer these questions and get our bearings on the first round at what increasingly seems like is the halfway point of it, the hosts of the CLNS Media “Celtics Lab” podcast (powered by Fan Duel and Better Help) got together with NBC Sports Boston’s Max Lederman to talk it over.

They also talk about the details of the new CBA that were recently revealed, check in on season-long award chatter, and more.

Celtics Lab 181: Everything you wanted to know about the Atlanta Hawks but were afraid to ask with Pat Benson

This episode, we see how things look in the Hawks-Celtics first-round series from the Atlanta point of view thanks to SI’s Pat Benson.

The Boston Celtics swept the three-game regular-season series with the Atlanta Hawks, their opponents in the first round of the NBA’s 2023 Eastern Conference playoffs.

But the Hawks have a new head coach, Quin Snyder, who is starting to reshape the team’s style of play to something more dynamic than we’ve seen from them for most of the season. Those changes suggest there’s at least a chance the series will not be quite the sweep some are predicting.

Could the Hawks drag this series out to five or even six games? What would have to happen for that to take shape? Can we trust Boston to take a perceived lesser foe as seriously as they ought to? Do the Celtics simply have too much talent for Atlanta to have a chance of stealing multiple wins?

To get a picture of what we ought to expect from the team heading into Game 1 on Saturday, the hosts of the CLNS Media “Celtics Lab” podcast (powered by Fan Duel and Better Help) got together with Sports Illustrated’s Pat Benson to talk it over.

We also get into the latest news about awards races, merchandise sales and the health of key players on both teams, so be sure to tune in ahead of Hawks-Celtics.

Celtics Lab 180: A first look at a Hawks-Celtics series, and a look back at the 2022-23 season with Jimmy Toscano

The Boston Celtics are ready to take another swing at hanging a banner in the 2023 NBA Playoffs, and they know who will be the first team standing in their way.

The Boston Celtics are ready to take another swing at hanging a banner in the 2023 NBA playoffs, and they know who the first team standing in their way will be. The play-in game to determine the Eastern Conference’s 7 seed was won by the Atlanta Hawks over the Miami Heat. So Atlanta will face the Celtics in the first round of the East postseason.

To take a first look at the season ahead just minutes after learning the selection, this episode of the CLNS Media “Celtics Lab” podcast (powered by Fan Duel and Better Help) takes a short look ahead at the Hawks series with guest Jimmy Toscano of the “Garden Report” podcast, as well as a long look back at the season that was.

With two educators on the call, we hand out player grades and get caught up on the news since ourt lasepisode. Join us as we take the first step in documenting and breaking down a journey that hopefully ends in duck boats come summer.

Celtics Lab 178: On just how scared Boston should be of the Philadelphia 76ers with Ky Carlin

How dangerous are the 76ers in the playoffs for Boston? Are they trending towards full health for a change at the end of the season? What else should Celtics fans want to know about this iteration of their Atlantic Division foes?

With the tilt against the Milwaukee Bucks in the rearview mirror, the Boston Celtics train their sights on the last marquee matchup remaining in the 2022-23 regular season: the Philadelphia 76ers.

Though some of the suspense of the regular season has been dimmed by the Celtics’ failure to deliver against eminently beatable opponents during this stretch run, a win over the Sixers would all but lock the team into finishing no worse than second in the East. It would also inject some much-needed momentum Boston’s way.

And Philly could very well be an obstacle for the Celtics in their bid to return to the NBA Finals, depending on how it is playing and how healthy it is once the postseason is underway.

How dangerous are the 76ers in the playoffs for Boston? Are they trending toward full health for a change at the end of the season? What else should Celtics fans want to know about this iteration of their Atlantic Division foes?

To answer all of these questions and more, the hosts of the CLNS Media “Celtics Lab” podcast, powered by Fan Duel and Better Help, linked up with Ky Carlin of Sixers Wire to get us up to speed on everything we need to know about Philly ahead of their Tuesday meeting and potential playoff series.

Celtics Lab 177: On Boston’s looming seeding battle with the Bucks and Jaylen Brown’s future with Dalton Sell

The Bucks loom large if the Celtics hope to have a chance at stealing the East’s top seed – and could end up the team between them and the NBA Finals.

The Boston Celtics are nearly done with their 2022-23 slate of regular season games, with only the tilts against the Philadelphia 76ers and Milwaukee Bucks remaining as games likely circled on the calendar for most Boston fans given the potential for each to impact the 2023 NBA Playoffs seeding.

The Bucks in particular loom largest if the Celtics hope to have a chance at stealing the East’s top seed, as Boston already owns the upper hand in the regular season record with the Sixers. And Milwaukee could very well be the team left standing in the East Finals that the Celtics will have to get past to get back to the 2023 NBA Finals.

To that end, the hosts of the CLNS Media “Celtics Lab” podcast (now powered by Fan Duel and Better Help) linked up with Dalton Sell of Behind the Bucks Pass to talk over all things Milwaukee, Giannis, and their potential meetings in what’s left of the regular season and beyond.

We also get into the recent Jaylen Brown interviews and what they might mean for his future with the team, the Celtics’ recent play, and more.

Celtics Lab 176: How we learned to stop worrying and love the Boston Celtics with Anna Horford

We’d be lying if we said we didn’t have concerns about the Celtics, but this team is good, and watching them should be fun…right?

The Boston Celtics have hit a late-season slump that has fans rightfully alarmed about how the club will respond in the postseason should they find themselves facing a moment of weakness against much more dangerous teams than they’ve been dropping games to of late.

However, they hold the NBA’s second-best record while having candidates for many of the league’s major regular-season awards. Many other projected contenders are also experiencing a little turbulence. Is it time to panic or enjoy what the Celtics are capable of when locked in against the league’s best clubs?

To answer that question, the hosts of the CLNS Media “Celtics Lab” podcast (sponsored by FanDuel and Better Help) linked up with Anna Horford of “Horford Happy Hour” podcast fame to ground our tendency of being prisoners to the moment.

And, hopefully, to help us get back to enjoying Boston on the court again given just how much the Celtics have done with a season many worried might have been upended before it even began.

Can the Boston Celtics bounce back from one of the worst stretches they have had so far this season?

The hosts of the CLNS Media “Celtics Lab” podcast recently sat down with NBC Sports Boston’s Chris Forsberg to talk it over.

Can the Boston Celtics bounce back from one of the worst stretches they have had so far this season? While the team looked good against a banged-up Portland Trail Blazers ball club, the concern about how poorly the Celtics have been playing late in games has the win looking like a tentative step in the right direction.

Can Boston keep up the good play against teams with better records? Will we learn much more as the Celtics start a road trip against a comparatively lesser group of opponents in the coming days? And if they stumble further, is there enough time left in a quickly fading campaign to right the ship?

To that end, the hosts of the CLNS Media “Celtics Lab” podcast powered by FanDuel recently sat down with NBC Sports Boston’s Chris Forsberg to talk it over.

Take a look at the clip embedded above to hear what they had to say.

Celtics Lab 175: On if the Boston Celtics are changing their tune after an extended funk with Matt Consolazio

This pod, we dive into how the Celtics have responded to recent struggles, and all things where indie music and the NBA intersect.

The Boston Celtics may be a band of brothers, but lately, they have been playing like that garage band many of us were in back in high school — fun, full of energy and new ideas, but sloppy and not quite putting all the necessary components together for success.

So, to figure out whether the team is finally getting their act together for the big tour into the 2023 NBA postseason, the hosts of the CLNS Media “Celtics Lab” podcast (brought to you by FanDuel, the exclusive wagering partner of the CLNS Media network) linked up with Indie Basketball’s Matt Consolazio to talk all things Celtics, indie music, and NBA basketball writ large.

We get into the Portland Trail Blazers win and how we’re feeling about the Celtics ahead of a long road trip, how news about Grant Williams playing through injury impacts our view of his play, Marcus Smart’s opinions on officiating, and tons more on the indie music side.

We also touch on the arrival of sports betting in the state of Massachusetts and how that can impact the NBA as well as a look around the league’s Western Conference, so be sure to tune in to this episode.

Celtics Lab 174: What’s gone wrong with the Boston Celtics lately, and how they can fix it with Chris Forsberg

Whatever it is, the Celtics need to identify and solve the root cause(s) before it derails their designs on getting back to the 2023 NBA Finals.

The Boston Celtics have hit some late season turbulence with several recent contests ending in a Celtics collapse, and those defeats often taking the shape of an overtime loss after being up double digits. Is it the lack of continuity for Boston’s best players? A need for rest? Coaching inexperience under head coach Joe Mazzulla, or a problem with his preferred, 3-point heavy style of play that has become known as Mazzulla ball?

Whatever it is, the Celtics need to identify and solve the root cause(s) before it derails their designs on getting back to the 2023 NBA Finals this postseason. And with 16 games left on the 2022-23 schedule, there’s not a lot of time to get it right. What can the team try to right the ship?

To get to the bottom of why Boston has been playing poorly of late and what they can tinker with to change that, the hosts of the CLNS Media “Celtics Lab” podcast linked up with NBC Sports Boston’s Chris Forsberg to talk it over.

We also get into the typology of Mazzulla ball, Jaylen Brown’s case to make All-NBA this season compared to the field and why that matters for retaining him, and get caught up on the rest of recent news, so be sure to tune in.
