What should we make of the Boston Celtics’ struggles against the NBA’s best teams? The Celtics may be the owners of the best record in the league, but for whatever reason have played more like a .500 ball club than not when the team across the court from them is among the Association’s elite.

Is it just the way a normal season goes for a contender, given the Celtics have lost consecutive games just once this season, back in November? Is it a concerning pattern emerging that the team needs to pay closer attention to? Or does the truth of the matter lie somewhere in between the two poles?

To try to get to the bottom of this unusual conundrum for Boston, the hosts of the CLNS Media “How Bout Them Celtics x Talkin’ Cs” podcast linked up on a recent episode.

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