Episode Synopsis

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. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
