We know it's off brand for us to discuss a non-Celtic series, but we're basketball fans and we thought we'd hop on after ex-Garden-Party-favorite Luke Kornet got his team to the finals! Our apologies for posting this pod late, but we insist it's not out of disrespect for a series that doesn't include The Celtics... | |||

The Philadelphia 76ers were one step faster, and an Embiid bigger on enough plays to knock out The Celtics 109-100.

This week the Celtics went 3-0 blowing out Miami and Milwaukee before beating Toronto easily.

| Week 22: What is going down in Bean Town? | 24 Mar 2026 | 00:46:30 | |
The Celtics started the week ok, but then descended into the horrible depths of despair, or maybe I'm just talking about Mark's attitude! The Celtics beat the Suns, and Warriors, before narrowly escaping a loss to Memphis' deeeeeeep bench thanks to D White and the GarZILLa, and then falling to a beatable Minnesota team that brought more fight....to quote THE UNTOUCHABLES "don't bring a knife to a gun fight."

Recorded a game early, dropped a day late! This pod includes the Milwaukee, Charlotte and Dallas games. But once Tatum returned we jumped on the mics!

The Cleveland win will be on the next pod! | |||

After dropping a road game to the Pacers the Celtics are able to get their mojo back on the shoulders of Anferney Simons and his hot shooting in the 4th quarter against the Heat, and follow it up with a rout of an identity-less Atlanta Hawk team. At the half point of the season the Celtics are 26-15 holding the 2 spot in the Eastern Conference, far above preseason expectations. | |||
