Is star big man Kristaps Porzingis key to the Boston Celtics title hopes in the 2025 NBA Playoffs? In his first campaign with the Celtics, Porzingis was an important part of the team's run to the 2024 NBA title, but he missed a lot of time in the postseason, and the path was easy enough that it did not matter all that much.

The hosts of the CLNS Media "Celtics Beat" podcast, Adam Kaufman and Evan Valenti, linked up with Heavy Dot Com's Steve Bulpett to talk it over on a recent episode of their show. Check it out below to hear what they think.
