In this episode of Bleav in Celtics, we dive into the highs and lows of the past week for the Boston Celtics. After an encouraging three-game win streak—highlighted by impressive wins over the Cavs, Pelicans, and a tight showdown against the Sixers—the momentum came to a halt with a tough loss to the Houston Rockets. We unpack what went wrong: lack of rebounding, defensive breakdowns, and how the Rockets lit it up from deep while Boston struggled to find offensive rhythm.

We also spotlight standout performances from Baylor Scheierman and discuss Jaylen Brown’s reduced fourth quarter minutes, plus the ongoing issues with Boston’s frontcourt rotation. Then we look ahead to tonight’s matchup against the Utah Jazz—a game Boston should win if they lock in defensively and bounce back from recent mistakes. Can Jaylen Brown, Simons, and Schierman lead the charge? Will the Celtics finally dominate the glass and get to the free throw line? Let’s talk about it.

In this episode of Bleav in Celtics, Courtney Tate recaps Boston’s tough regular season losses to the Sixers and Knicks. She explores how the Celtics came out hot in both matchups but struggled to close, citing major defensive lapses and a concerning second-quarter cold spell. Courtney praises Jaylen Brown and Derrick White as clear offensive leaders and highlights Neemias Queta’s pivotal role filling the void in Boston’s depleted frontcourt—while also pointing out his foul trouble and the team’s need for better rim protection.

The episode dives into the Celtics’ defensive issues, including their vulnerability to high-scoring guards and lack of rebounding, with a sharp focus on how undersized lineups could create long-term problems. Courtney also evaluates Payton Pritchard’s rocky start in the starting lineup and delivers insight on Anfernee Simons’ surprising defensive improvement.

But it’s not all bad—Hugo Gonzales finally got his chance to shine against the Knicks and proved he has serious potential.

Looking ahead, she previews Sunday’s matchup against the Detroit Pistons and outlines what the Celtics must do to get back on track.

In this jam-packed episode of Bleav in Celtics, host Courtney Tate breaks down all the biggest offseason developments in Celtics Nation.

We open with a major health update on Jaylen Brown, who underwent successful knee surgery. Courtney explores the timeline of his recovery and what it means for Boston’s offseason plans. Fans have been concerned, but Jaylen’s own cryptic post-surgery selfie hints at an already motivated bounce-back — and we’re showing the image on screen for the video version.

Next, we pivot to head coach Joe Mazzulla, who’s made headlines for his surprise scouting trip to the Euroleague Final Four. What does it mean? Is Boston eyeing European prospects? Courtney unpacks the implications of this overseas venture — whether it’s about expanding the staff, player development, or potential hidden gems in the draft pool.

Then, things heat up as we dive into the offseason trade rumor mill. Courtney lays out realistic options the Celtics might pursue, especially with nearly every player “on the chopping block — except Tatum.” Soundbites from Joe Mazzulla’s recent presser emphasize the team’s “no guarantees” mentality.

After that, Courtney gets into fan reactions — from worries about Al Horford’s future, to praise for Aaron Nesmith’s Finals run with the Pacers, to whether Celtics ownership transition could impact roster-building.

And of course, we can’t close without a HOT TAKE: “The Celtics should strongly consider moving Derrick White — if it means upgrading with size and rebounding.”

Courtney brings receipts and context to defend the take — it’s controversial, but grounded.

The episode closes with a tease for next week, which promises coverage of the upcoming NBA Draft, more on Kristaps Porziņģis’ recovery, and trade buzz heating up league-wide.
