What have we learned from the Boston Celtics battles with contenders?
What have we learned from the Boston Celtics battles with contenders so far in the NBA's 2024-25 regular season? The Celtics have played most of the top teams they have faced to this point in the season somewhere between very good to good, with some measuring stick wins over teams like the Cleveland Cavaliers, Denver Nuggets, New York Knicks, and Los Angeles Lakers.
The Celtics have had the most trouble this season against the Oklahoma City Thunder, but most teams have, and Boston may not even see the top Western Conference club in the postseason unless both teams end up in the 2025 NBA Finals anyway.
The hosts of the CLNS Media "Still Poddable" podcast, Brian Robb, Sam Packard, and Jay King, took some time on a recent episode of their show to talk it over. Check it out below!
