In this week’s episode of Bleav in Celtics, Courtney Tate dives into Boston’s eighth straight win — a hard-fought battle against the Toronto Raptors. She breaks down how the Celtics built and nearly lost a 23-point lead, before Jaylen Brown, Derrick White, Payton Pritchard, and Jordan Walsh stepped up big to close it out.

Jaylen Brown is cooking — posting his eighth 30-point game in the last 14 outings and leading Boston confidently in Jayson Tatum’s absence. Derrick White and Payton Pritchard are showing signs of revival, while Jordan Walsh is proving to be a defensive menace in his 12th consecutive start. But it’s not all perfect — rebounding woes, third-quarter droughts, and interior defense remain concerns.

Courtney also discusses whether the Celtics should target another big man before the trade deadline — with eyes reportedly on Dallas’ Daniel Gafford. Plus, she previews the upcoming matchups vs. the Bucks and Pistons and explains why this next week could define Boston’s mid-season identity.

In this episode of Bleav in Celtics, we dive into the highs and lows of the past week for the Boston Celtics. After an encouraging three-game win streak—highlighted by impressive wins over the Cavs, Pelicans, and a tight showdown against the Sixers—the momentum came to a halt with a tough loss to the Houston Rockets. We unpack what went wrong: lack of rebounding, defensive breakdowns, and how the Rockets lit it up from deep while Boston struggled to find offensive rhythm.

We also spotlight standout performances from Baylor Scheierman and discuss Jaylen Brown’s reduced fourth quarter minutes, plus the ongoing issues with Boston’s frontcourt rotation. Then we look ahead to tonight’s matchup against the Utah Jazz—a game Boston should win if they lock in defensively and bounce back from recent mistakes. Can Jaylen Brown, Simons, and Schierman lead the charge? Will the Celtics finally dominate the glass and get to the free throw line? Let’s talk about it.
