Who are the Boston Celtics? A young team that lacks the professionalism to show up on a night-to-night basis, or a team on the cusp of finally making the leap to the matured veterans who belong at the top of the 2021-22 NBA standings?
Plagued by the same sort of uneven play that has marred the experience for fans in recent seasons but without the level of built-in excuses of the past, the Celtics must confront their own reflection while they are still trying to mold themselves into a version of Boston they can be proud of. Youth is still indeed a factor as are new faces, but it has been the same problems with effort and focus behind most recent losses.
The hosts of the CLNS Media podcast “The Garden Report” explore their feelings on what ails the Celtics this season as we settle into the season with about a third of the games in the rear-view mirror.
Watch the clip embedded above to get their perspectives on the status quo in Boston, and see if you agree with their views.
