Celtics Lab NBA Basketball Podcast
Sports:Basketball
The Boston Celtics are inside of the last quarter of the 2022-23 NBA season and will need to make some decisions on whether to prioritize getting to the postseason as healthy as possible or pushing as hard as they can for the best playoff seeding possible. They also need to find opportunities for their ostensible starters to play more than the sparse minutes they have had together -- but need to tinker a bit to maximize bench rotations as well.
With just 19 games left in this season at the time of this writing, the Milwaukee Bucks in the East's first-place slot with a half-game lead, and the Philadelphia 76ers far enough behind that the Celtics ought to be safe from falling lower than the No. 2 seed. But could the other late-season priorities -- or the Bucks' seeming inability to lose -- change the calculus of the ball club?
To get a handle on where the team is at as we enter the meat of the stretch run, the hosts of the CLNS Media "Celtics Lab" podcast linked up with "Celtics Beat" co-host Evan Valenti.
We also get into Boston's recent play against the New York Knicks and Cleveland Cavaliers, Grant Williams' surprising DNP-CD vs. the Cavs, rumbles of Celtics ownership having an interest in European football ownership again and much, much more.
