On the accolades the Boston Celtics might win (and fake awards they should) with Chris Forsberg
The Boston Celtics and the NBA are drawing closer to the end of the 2024-25 regular season, and with that, the likely winners of full-season awards are starting to come into focus. The Celtics, as reigning champs, are mostly focused on what they will need to do to put themselves in the best position possible to repeat as champions, but that does not mean that there are no end-of season honors awaiting members of the team. Reserve guard Payton Pritchard, for example, has widely been seen as a leader to win the league's 2025 Sixth Man of the Year award, and several players on Boston's roster ought to be in line to make an All-NBA or All-Defense team, if not both. To try to pin down what full-season hardware might end up going to individual Celtics next month, the hosts of the CLNS Media "Celtics Lab" podcast, Alex Goldberg, Cameron Tabatabaie, and Justin Quinn, linked up with NBC Sports Boston's Chris Forsberg to talk it over. We even get into some fake awards that ought to exist that Boston players should be feted with, so be sure to tune in to hear them all. Celtics Lab is brought to you by Prizepicks.

From Red's first game to Banner 18 - Previewing Celtics City with Lauren Stowell, Gabe Honig
The new Boston Celtics docuseries "Celtics City" is upon us, but what is it, and why is it like nothing that has come before? With nearly eight decades of history filled with more NBA titles (18, in fact) than any other club in league history and more regular season wins than any other team, it's safe to say that any documentary series attempting to encompass the history of the Celtics is taking on a massive task. And that is before we take into account the complex, and often fraught, history of the storied franchise, which was at the forefront of racial integration as a team in the late 1950s and early 1960s at the same time the city they played in was anything but that -- and we haven't even touched on the larger-than-life figures behind their dynastic success, or the rivalries they flourished in. This is the task of the creative minds behind the "Celtics City" documentary brought to us by HBO Sports Documentaries, Ringer Films, and Words + Pictures. The folks behind the CLNS Media "Celtics Lab" podcast got to sit down with the director, Lauren Stowell, and co-executive producer and showrunner Gabe Honig to talk about all aspects of the new docuseries, from what sets it apart to how it came together, and everything in between. Don't miss this conversation on all things "Celtics City" ahead of the debut of the first installment of the nine-part series debuting on Monday, March 3 at 9 p.m. ET on HBO and Max.

On what the Boston Celtics need to do in the stretch run to be ready for the playoffs with Jack Simone
The stretch run of the NBA's 2024-25 regular season is upon the Boston Celtics, who appear to be rounding into contention form after a rough stretch of play in the middle of their current campaign. What do the Celtics need to get sorted before the start of the 2025 NBA Playoffs? Which teams from the league's Eastern Conference should they be concerned about? Is there a team in the West that stands out as a likely NBA finals opponent? Are rest and health properly accounted for in the remainder of the schedule? And what does the last 25 or so games left of the season mean to Boston in terms of preparation and seeding? The hosts of the CLNS Media "Celtics Lab" podcast, Alex Goldberg, Cameron Tabatabaie, and Justin Quinn, linked up with cohost of the"How Bout Them Celtics!" podcast, Jack Simone, to talk it over. We also get caught up on what little post-All-Star break news there is, so be sure to join us for this episode. Celtics Lab is sponsored by Prize Picks and GameTime. Learn more about your ad choices.

The hosts of the CLNS Media "Celtics Lab" podcast, Cameron Tabatabaie, and Justin Quinn (Alex Goldberg had the week off) took some time on a recent episode of their show to talk it over, giving all things All-Star one last look while we take our first real look at the stretch run ahead.
