The Boston Celtics took their defensive pressure up to the top notch during the fourth quarter and squeezed the life out of the Milwaukee Bucks’ offense during the final six minutes of a game that went down to the wire. Meanwhile, Jayson Tatum went off for 14 points during the fourth quarter to spark a birthday celebration for his son Deuce, Al Horford made the clutch bucket that Giannis Antetokounmpo couldn’t, Jrue Holiday delivered the goods again against his former team, and the Celtics as a team had their championship DNA on full display.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Boston Celtics beat the Detroit Pistons by 10 despite Detroit logging a season-best shooting performance from 3-point range. That’s because Boston’s unstoppable offense still managed to make more 3-pointers than the red-hot Pistons, all while playing without Jayson Tatum and Jrue Holiday. That’s thanks to Jaylen Brown’s passing and the elite shooting of Sam Hauser (5 3PM), Payton Pritchard (5 3PM), Al Horford (4 3PM) and Kristaps Porzingis (3 3PM). Our fans are sounding off on the Celtics being a legitimate juggernaut, and on Pritchard and Hauser being two of the best contracts in the NBA.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Derrick White and Jrue Holiday react to their nickname “The Stock Exchange,” and say they need some suggestions from Celtics Nation about a Stock Exchange hand shake.

They also discuss how they communicate to each other in the middle of games, and give their takes on what makes both a great individual defender and a great team defense.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jaylen Brown was back. Derrick White was back. And Payton Pritchard continued to scream Pritch Please with his game. Those three players led the Celtics to a dominant win over the Jimmy Butler-less Miami Heat, all while the Boston Celtics were missing four of their top eight players. How did they get it done? It started with their defense, and ended with their Stay Ready Group. We sound off on it all in tonight’s episode.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We’re sounding off tonight on a cold stretch of offense that came back to haunt the Celtics, as Donovan Mitchell took over during the fourth quarter to lead a come-from-behind win for the Cavaliers. This is the second time these two teams have played this season, and the second time the game has come down to the final minute. With that, we’ve also seen some very slow play during the final minute, which has one of our fans suggesting to the league that something needs to change.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Finally, the big man has returned! Kristaps Porzingis returned to the lineup for his first game of the 2024-25 season and he looked great as he helped the Celtics demolish the LA Clippers. Porzingis was great, but it was Boston’s ridiculous 3-point shooting that dominated from start to finish. Payton Pritchard was doing his best Steph Curry impression all night as the Celtics pulled away for a 32-point win.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jaylen Brown ended the game just like he started it – by dropping in buckets from long range over the Minnesota Timberwolves. He hit five in the first 3:34 of the game, then drained one with 1:16 left to account for the game’s deciding points. Boston secured the win with a stop on the final possession of the night. But still, some Celtics fans are questioning the offense and defense, and another isn’t liking the win. Why? We dive into it all in the latest episode of SOUND OFF.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On a night when the Celtics didn't have their A-game, they still found a way to gut out a win over the Wizards.

The Boston Celtics had two opportunities during the final five seconds to win their NBA Cup opener against the Atlanta Hawks, but neither Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown were able to give Boston the walk-off win. The Celtics didn’t look like themselves while taking on a Hawks team that was missing three of its top players in All-Star Trae Young, as well as De’Andre Hunter and Bogdan Bogdanovic, as Boston committed a season-high 20 turnovers and allowed Atlanta to grab 20 offensive boards. Those numbers, along with some other miscues, cost the Celtics the win. We’re diving into it all while outlining a couple of positives to take away from the loss.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We discuss that, plus Payton Pritchard keeping the Celtics in it during the first half with his elite confidence and shooting ability, Boston’s ability to flip a game in the blink of an eye, and Jrue Holiday making every clutch play down the stretch to help the Celtics grab the W.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A primetime matchup between Jayson Tatum and the Boston Celtics, and Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors, went down to the wire and it was Curry’s 10 points during the fourth quarter that pushed Golden State ahead.
