The Boston Celtics defense on Steph Curry has been a topic of some debate, with some quesstioning whether the Celtics need to change things. John Karalis and Tom Westerholm discuss that, and John argues that the drop coverage is part of a plan to dare Curry to beat Boston all by himself. Plus, more love for Robert Williams and some really dumb accusations of dirty play against Al Horford. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

The Boston Celtics looked good to start the game, but the typical third quarter from the Golden State Warriors made it feel like things were falling apart again. This time, though, they found the energy to pull through and pull away in the fourth. John Karalis explains why the home court was really an advantage, why Robert Williams was the key to the win, and how Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, and Marcus Smart all had big roles in the Game 3 win.

The Celtics blew the doors off the Miami Heat in Game 2, following a similar script in this series as the last one.

Everything was going according to plan for the Boston Celtics in Game 5 against the Milwaukee Bucks. They'd built a 14 point 4th quarter lead and everything was going their way, but then the old Celtics showed up and ruined the fun. John Karalis of Boston Sports Journal discusses the collapse, why Milwaukee did a lot lose this game but simply worked harder than Boston, and the Celtics still coming off as pretty confident after the game.

Al Horford has dominated in this series against the Milwaukee Bucks, especially in the last two games in Milwaukee. So what's the impact now for the Boston Celtics as the Bucks try to figure out how to defend him? John Karalis of Boston Sports Journal discusses how what the Bucks do will change what Boston can get in Game 5. Also, how family board game night factored into Horford's reaction to Giannis Antetokounmpo's dunk, Ime Udoka's fourth place Coach of the Year finish, and Grant Williams needing to play within himself.

Al Horford got dunked on by Giannis Antetokounmpo and he carried the subsequent staredown into the the fourth quarter where he got his revenge and powers a Boston Celtics Game 4 win. Now Boston has home court again, and John Karalis says this series is over, and Celtics in 6 still stands. All that and the Celtics finally getting some points in the paint!

Get ready for Boston Celtics-Milwaukee Bucks Game 4 with a look at how all the talk about officiating for both sides might impact things Monday night and whether Jayson Tatum can put together a bounce-back game. John Karalis is joined by ESPN's Andrew Lopez to discuss those topics, one eye-popping stat that explains Game 3, what Boston needs to do better in Game 4, and how they can use Robert Williams more effectively.

The Boston Celtics dropped Game 3 to the Milwaukee Bucks after a furious comeback fell just short. Jayson Tatum had his worst playoff game, maybe ever, when the Celtics really only needed a few good minutes from him in the fourth quarter. John Karalis and Tom Westerholm discuss that, still being confident in the Celtics winning the series, and, yes, the officiating ... which missed a few blatant calls that need to be addressed.

What have we learned about the Boston Celtics after two games against the Milwaukee Bucks? Grant Williams is good (and strong). Ime Udoka's attitude is great (will it get Boston to attack more?). John Karalis and Tom Westerholm discuss that and then go on a campaign to show Derrick White is actually important to what the Celtics are doing. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

The Celtics came out in Game 2 and spent the first half playing nearly perfect Celtics basketball and building a 25 point lead against the Milwaukee Bucks. Giannis Antetokounmpo got going in the 2nd half, but Boston's defense clamped down on the Bucks shooters to keep the lead in double digits. John Karalis of Boston Sports Journal discusses the adjustments, the big performances from Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum, how midrange shots got things going, Grant Williams becoming the new X-factor, and the thing Boston has done twice that gives them an advantage.

Boston Celtics-MIlwaukee Bucks Game 2 is Tueday night and some things should go better for Boston (Jaylen Brown's game, turnovers, Celtics help defense) and some things could go worse (Marcus Smart's health, Giannis Antetokounmpo's scoring, Milwaukee's defense).

The Milwaukee Bucks surprised the Boston Celtics with their physicality in Game 1 of their semifinal series, holding the Celtics to historically low shooting, forcing a ton of turnovers, and baiting Boston into taking the exact kind of shots they wanted. John Karalis of Boston Sports journal looks at some easy areas of improvement for Game 2, Jaylen Brown's bad Game 1, why the defense on Giannis Antetokounmpo was actually okay, and why Ime Udoka has earned the benefit of the doubt when he says Game 2 will be different.

It's official: It's going to be the Boston Celtics vs. Milwaukee Bucks in round two. This means both the Celtics offense and defense will be different in the second round. John Karalis of Boston Sports Journal explains what the differences will be, including one play the Celtics can run a lot to take advantage of a Milwaukee flaw. Also, the Ime Udoka team meeting plan that ended up working wonders, even if Al Horford wants to call them something else. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

The Celtics swept the Brooklyn Nets, but they didn't come away unscathed. Robert Williams returned but didn't look like his full self and Jaylen Brown was grabbing his hamstring at the ends of the game.

The Boston Celtics swept the Brooklyn Nets out of the playoffs, the only team in the NBA to pull off a first round sweep this year. Jayson Tatum fouled out, but the Celtics got clutch performances from Jaylen Brown, Marcus Smart, and Al Horford to pull out another tough win. John Karalis of Boston Sports Journal gets into how the Celtics survived, why the most important part of this game might have come in the second quarter, and how this sweep might actually push the Celtics into the NBA Finals.

What makes the Boston Celtics coach so much better than what the Brooklyn Nets are dealing with? What's Kyrie Irving's impact on Nash? John Karalis and Tom Westerholm discuss that, the Celtics making Kevin Durant quit, the luxury of Robert Williams returning, and Ben Simmons being ruled out of Game 4, which makes that whole situation a complete farce.

The Celtics are heading to Brooklyn for Game 3 against the Nets, and they're taking Robert Williams with them. Does that mean he's going to play. And Grant Williams hit some big shots in Game 2, but it was him hitting Kevin Durant over and over that made an even bigger difference.

John Karalis goes live from the TD Garden, where Williams scored 17, Pritchard scored 10, and the Celtics overcame a 17 point deficit to pull away and lead by as many as 12 in the fourth quarter.

The Boston Celtics and Brooklyn Nets went down to the wire in this one, and it was Jayson Tatum's buzzer beating layup that was the difference in a 115-114 win. Kyrie Irving had an amazing game, but he also got into it with the fans. John Karalis and Tom Westerholm break down the final sequence, including the incredible defense by Al Horford and Marcus Smart, the unselfish play from Jaylen Brown (who was great in this game), and Smart's point guard decision to find Tatum.
