514: All Star Break, Smart Resurgence, Jaylen's Consistency & 2nd Unit Tatum? 0

Feb 26, 2018

Celtics Stuff Live is back from its All Star hiatus and thankfully we have some real live Celtics wins to discuss and celebrate. Marcus Smart's return from injury was welcomed, due in no small part to the team's inability to defend throughout his absence.

In the second half of the show, Justin crowed proudly on the recently strong play of Jaylen Brown and tried to determine whether a bigger role is headed Brown's way. Jon wasn't convinced, but saw an increased need for Brown's emergence if Jayson Tatum doesn't return to his early season form.

513: Paul Pierce's #34 Retired, Tough Cavs Loss, & Possible Post Trade Deadline Acquisitions 0

Feb 12, 2018

It was a magical day Sunday as the Boston Celtics raised Paul Pierce's #34 to the rafters. A fantastic ceremony included appearances by Antoine Walker, Doc Rivers, Rajon Rondo, and the next player to be honored in that fashion, Kevin Garnett. Bobby Manning joined Jon and Justin to provide some of their favorite Paul Pierce memories and looked back at Pierce's long and successful career in green.

There was a game today as well, and while all involved would love to forget it ever occurred, that was not a luxury the CSL Guys could afford. Bobby took aim at the Celtics uneventful trade deadline compared to the moves made by the Cavs while Justin and Jon were more frustrated with the Celtics play.

Marcus Smart was again a topic of conversation as the Celtics held on to the point guard at the trade deadline. Jon was optimistic about the team's chances to keep him in free agency thanks to Lou Williams' setting the new market for deals of this size.

512: Cleveland Collapse, Trade Deadline & Paul Pierce's Jersey Retirement 0

Feb 7, 2018

The much anticipated matchup with the Raptors went about as well as going through Customs with a machete, but Celtics Stuff Live gave thanks to the Cavs for making the rubber glove treatment seem pale in comparison. Jon and Justin took pride in calling the demise of the Cavs as far back as this fall and noted how Kyrie truly was the canary in the coal mine.

In the show's second half, Jon detailed some of the options before the Celtics at the trade deadline and Jon and Justin laid out Marcus Smart's future with the team.

To wrap up the show, Justin looked ahead to Sunday's game against the Cavs and the retirement of Paul Pierce's #34 jersey in a special postgame ceremony. Jon and Justin discussed Paul Pierce's legacy and what he has meant to the franchise and its fans over the last 20 years.

And in building the connection with its fans, Justin had the opportunity to attend the Super Bowl Sunday game against Portland. What made this visit so special is that Justin was able to bring his son Riley to his first Celtics game. Justin and Riley were able to chat with CLNS Media's Nick Gelso at halftime.
