From Bird’s rise to Tatum’s return: A new book, a renewed Celtics

With a certain St. Louis native having his injury report status changed from "out" to "questionable," the world of Boston Celtics (and NBA) fandom just kicked into overdrive. How will he change the Celtics season to date, where will he fit into this version of the team, and how should our expectations change are just a few of the relevant questions in need of some answers.

But we can also turn back the clock to talk about Hall of Fame Celtics legend Larry Bird's origin story in 'Heartland: A Forgotten Place, an Impossible Dream, and the Miracle of Larry Bird,' a new account of the years that basketball truly grabbed a hold of the Hick from French Lick and didn't let go – to all our benefit. On this week's episode of "Havlicek Stole the Pod", your hosts address the likely imminent return of Tatum and what that means for Boston before we take a closer look at the new Bird tome with author Keith O'Brien.

Make sure you tune in for one of the most packed episodes we have put out so far this season!
