WATCH: Did injuries ruin the Boston Celtics’ postseason, 2021 NBA Playoffs?

Did injuries ruin the 2021 NBA Playoffs? The grueling grind of a short offseason coupled with the stresses of playing a condensed season seems to have impacted teams and their high-minute players considerably, with the Boston Celtics and other three teams who were playing late into the 2020 NBA Playoffs especially affected.

Now, while there may be some compelling narratives strong enough to hold our interest, the star power of the NBA Finals could well be the most underwhelming in recent memory due to high-profile injuries. The hosts of the eponymous CLNS Media “Goodman and Ryan” podcast dive into this and several Celtics-adjacent topics on their latest episode.

Watch or listen to the clip embedded below to hear their takes on how injuries have shaped this postseason, the new coaching hire in Boston, and more.
