With some time to soak it all in, we are just beginning to have had enough context to begin to place the Boston Celtics' 2024 NBA Championship in its proper place in terms of history. What will we remember about it in five, 10, or twenty years? Which were flashbulb moments along the path to Banner 18? Which will quickly be forgotten? And most importantly, just how special is this title in light of the 17 that came before it? To take a look at the winning of Banner 18 and its historical context, the hosts of the CLNS Media "Celtics Lab" podcast linked up with the Boston Globe's Chad Finn to talk all things Celtics history. Finn will soon have a new book out that details all of the best moments in the history of the storied franchise through the pens of Globe reporters, from its founding to the most recent title, making him the ideal interlocutor for this mission. We also get caught up on the trickle of news still percolating up at this late hour in the 2024 NBA offseason, from the Lonnie Walker IV signing to Jayson Tatum's China trip with Jordan Brand and more.

Star Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum is the new cover athlete for NBA 2K25, gracing the newest iteration of the popular video game with WNBA star A'ja Wilson of the Los Vegas Aces. The first-ever cover to feature both an NBA and WNBA star, the summer of Tatum continues. The game itself will be out in September, but the hosts of the CLNS Media "Celtics Lab" podcast linked up with NBA 2K spokesperson Ronnie "2K" Singh to get up to speed on the latest version of the game. How was it made? what is different in this version? And what was the process like that led to Tatum being selected (hint -- it wasn't due to him winning the title with Boston, as these decisions are made many months in advance). We get to the bottom of all the above and more. We also get caught up on the trickle of news still coming out in the so-called dog days of August, from new tunes and tattoos to recreating old photos and more.

The Boston Celtics are your 2024 NBA World Champions, but if they want to repeat in 2025 to hang Banner 19, they are going to need to avail themselves of every advantage ahead of the 2024-25 season, particularly the looming 2024 NBA draft. For the vast majority of the team's fans, this is one draft we have not been paying very much attention to, given the Celtics' recent run to and victory in the finals. But securing low-cost rotation help will be key to making a potential dynasty viable, meaning Boston really needs to nail their two picks in this draft. To that end, the hosts of the CLNS Media "Celtics Lab" podcast sat down with For The Win draft expert Bryan Kalbrosky to pick his brain about the prospects we know the Celtics have worked out -- and several we think they should have. Get up to speed on all things 2024 NBA draft from a Boston point of view in this episode. The Celtics Lab podcast is brought to you by Prize Picks and Gametime.

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 after the results of the play-in game to determine the Eastern Conference's 7 seed elevating the Atlanta Hawks over the Miami Heat to 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 our last episode. Join us as we take the first step in documenting and breaking down a journey that hopefully ends in duck boats come summer. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The end of the 2022-23 NBA season is nearly upon us, with only a few loose ends to tie up in terms of seeding, the disbursement of regular season hardware, and beginning to reshape the Boston Celtics' roster to reflect the exigencies of the league's new collective bargaining agreement. To that end, the hosts of the CLNS Media "Celtics Lab" podcast (powered by Fan Duel and Better Help) linked up with Celtics Blog's Jack Simone to get into what awards the Celtics could win for this season's campaign, who Boston might end up facing in the postseason now that the standings are close to complete, and what changes might be in store for the team's roster. We even get into how the team is playing to wrap up the regular season and take a glimpse out West to see what might be in store for Boston should they get all the way back to the finals.

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 against 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 late in the stretch run, a win over the Sixers would go a long way toward preventing a slide to the third seed while throwing some much-needed momentum Boston's way. And Philly could very well be an obstacle between the Celtics and a return to the 2023 NBA Finals, too, depending on how they are playing and the health they are in once the postseason is underway. 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? 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.

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.

The Boston Celtics have hit a late-season slump that has fans rightfully alarmed about how the ball club could 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. But at the same time, they hold the NBA's second-best record while having candidates on the team for many of the league's major regular-season awards at the same time many other projected contenders are also experiencing a bit of turbulence. Is it time to panic, or enjoy what the Celtics are capable of when locked in vs. the league's best ball clubs? To answer that question, the hosts of the CLNS Media "Celtics Lab" podcast (sponsored by Fan Duel and Better Help) linked up with Anna Horford of "Horford Happy Hour" podcast fame to ground our tendency to be a prisoner of 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.

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.

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.
