551: Please Let This Be The Turning Point! 0

Dec 26, 2018

The Boston Celtics gave their fans an incredible Christmas gift with a nice win over the Sixers during a entertaining Christmas Day contest. We can only hope this win, coupled with the blowout over the Hornets serves as the turning point after a dispiriting 3 game losing streak... bottoming out in a home loss to the league worst Suns. Justin and Jon talked about the Celtics performance and whether there are building blocks of better days ahead. Has Tatum figured it out?

In the show's second half, the CSL boys looked at Gordon Hayward's struggles. What does he need to do to get back to the form he showed early this month? Is playing him at power forward an opportunity to unlock his play?

Last up, Jon and Justin gave their predictions on the week ahead as the team goes on the road to Houston, Memphis, and San Antonio. A trip like this solidified the 2008 Celtics... will it do the same for the 2019 team? We'll find out.

550: The Men In The Middle 0

Dec 17, 2018

Michael Jackson sang about the Man In The Mirror, but Celtics Stuff Live this week talked about the Men In The Middle. The injury to Al Horford opened the door for Aron Baynes, Daniel Theis, and the Timelord, Robert Williams. How each player's strength augments the Celtics' attack and how each help the Celtics use more rim running in their offense as key pieces through the Celtics 3-1 week.

In the show's second half, Justin and Jon looked at Gordon Hayward and Jaylen Brown as they return from illness and continue to bolster a second unit. A hat tip to The Athletic's Jared Weiss for an outstanding breakdown of Brown's improved form.

To wrap, the guys predicted the week upcoming, including a key matchup with the Milwaukee Bucks on Friday.

549: Celtics Winning Ways Continue! 0

Dec 10, 2018

Two absolutely dominating efforts against the Knicks and Bulls have the Celtics not only as winners of their last 5 games, but as the league's leader in Net Rating over their last 10 contests. Jon and Justin discussed why the team has not only continued to succeed with the Marcus Brothers (thanks Kevin McHale!) in the starting lineup, but now with Jaylen Brown and Terry Rozier finding their footing. How long will the team stay with this lineup? Do they even need to go back to the lineup they had intended to start the season?

In the show's second half, Justin and Jon talked about the recent injuries to Celtics big men Aron Baynes, Yabu, Al Horford, and the excused absence of Robert Williams. With Daniel Theis as the last man standing after the Chicago game, questions abound if good health doesn't return to the big man rotation. Lastly, the guys looked at the week ahead and whether the good times should keep rolling along. Plus another bonus clip after the show on the potential of making a deal for Anthony Davis and the value of the Celtics draft picks.

548: Are the Celtics fixed? 0

Dec 3, 2018

On this week's edition of Celtics Stuff Live, Jon and Justin seem to think so after a 3-0 week and, more importantly, the team playing the brand of basketball everyone expected of them entering this season. The CSL guys looked at the additions of the Marcuses (Morris and Smart) into the starting lineup as a catalyst for the improved play. But looking ahead, Jon and Justin discussed how to fit Jaylen Brown back into a train rolling down the tracks and does the emergence of Gordon Hayward force Brad to get him back in the starting group?

Last up, Jon and Justin looked ahead to a quieter week with only a pair of games but also several days of practice. Justin really liked the opportunity the break provided players who haven't received a lot of playing time and Jon concurred with a focus on one player.. the Timelord, Robert Williams.
