Could vet guard Jrue Holiday be the Boston Celtics biggest concern in the '25 NBA Playoffs?
Could veteran guard Jrue Holiday be the Boston Celtics biggest concern in the 2025 NBA Playoffs? If you ask the cohost of the CLNS Media "Garden Report" podcast, Bobby Manning, that could very well end up being the case if the concerns Manning pointed out in a recent film breakdown clip come to pass in the coming postseason.
The CLNS Media analyst points to the dip we have seen in Holiday's shooting stats in the first half of the NBA's 2024-25 regular season, as well as his absences this season due to injuries. For Manning, Holiday is a critical piece of a 2025 Celtics title picture -- will he be able to come through when Boston needs him most?
Take a look at the clip embedded below to hear what he had to say about the possibility about the UCLA alum being the Celtics' weakest link.
