Havlicek Stole the Pod 13: Celtics beat the Bucks in Game 1, Al Horford blocks Giannis Antetokounmpo into oblivion Apr 28, 2019

Show notes

Forget about the Al Horford defense articles. His playoff performances have been so overwhelming that he practically writes them for us. Mike Budenholtzer called for more fouls. The Bucks probably didn't play Brook Lopez enough. We had a bit of a Celtics schmooze party in this one. Horford shut down Giannis Antetokounmpo as the central figure in Boston's scheme to slow the Bucks' superstar. He even stuffed Giannis into oblivion two straight times inside. In all, the Celtics unloaded the best interior defensive performance he's seen all season. Alex and Bobby give cold reaction to the Celtics' dominant showing in Game 1.

The Celtics continue to struggle to assert control over the flow of games, losing large leads and falling further away in the face of small deficits. Kyrie Irving talks flipping the switch.

Havlicek Stole the Pod 8: Worst-case Celtics scenarios, preparing for a Kyrie Irving departure Mar 05, 2019

Show notes

Bobby's officially out, Chris still thinks the Celtics can turn this thing around. After five losses in five games, including a stinker at the Bulls and blowout losses to the Rockets and Raptors, Boston sunk back to its old ways. They look dejected, Kyrie Irving isn't talking and can't seem to get up for these post-all-star break games after winning 10 of 11 before. How low could this sink, and should we start preparing for Irving and Al Horford to leave? What does this season start to say about Brad Stevens? We touch on the starting lineup that worked initially but has struggled of late, including whether it's time to start Jaylen Brown. Learn more about your ad choices.

Havlicek Stole the Pod 6: 76ers can't beat Celtics, Marcus Morris has fun and Brad Stevens blames himself Feb 13, 2019

Show notes

The Celtics had fun again in Philadelphia as Boston trounced the 76ers behind maybe the dunk of the season by Jayson Tatum. Marcus Smart dunked off one leg, Al Horford held it down on Joel Embiid and the new Sixers additions made a quiet debut against Brad Stevens and company. The C's have won 21 of 24 against Philly, and 11 of 14 overall, so why the panic? Is the fun that big of a factor, as Marcus Morris says? How much stock do we put in the two Lakers and Clippers losses despite all the recent winning? Stevens pointed inward after one of them, signaling 2nd and 3rd quarter lineup changes. We also weigh in on Ben Simmons tampering, an Isaiah Thomas return and the Marc Gasol addition for the Raptors. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Havlicek Stole the Pod 5: Tobias Harris to Philly, Potential Buyout Candidates, and a 5-Game Win Streak Feb 07, 2019

Show notes

Bobby and Chris discuss the Celtics position with less than 24 hours left until the trade deadline. What does Tobias Harris' arrival in Philadelphia mean for Boston and the rest of the East? The guys also discuss who they'd want to see the Celtics go after in the buyout market if they're able to trade Jabari Bird. With all of these trade rumors, it's easy to forget the Celtics have won 10 of their last 11 and 5 in a row. The guys talk about the team's recent success heading into Thursday's matchup with LeBron and the Lakers. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Havlicek Stole the Pod 4: Anthony Davis trade PODCAST, Pelicans timelines and Kyrie Irving rumors Jan 30, 2019

Show notes

Bobby believes it's over. Chris is holding out hope for the summer. Diverse angles on the impact of Anthony Davis requesting a trade from the Pelicans before the deadline, when Boston can't acquire him. Could the Pelicans wait until the summer? The Bird Writes' smearing of the Lakers package offers some hope, but sneaky suitors like the Raptors or Nuggets could emerge into the fold. One thing we can agree on: these Kyrie Irving rumors are probably bogus, but that doesn't mean he's a 100% lock to stay in Boston no matter what happens. Learn more about your ad choices.
