Green With Envy: A Boston Celtics Podcast

Following the Boston Celtics loss to the Miami Heat, Adam and Greg dive into the notion of the teams struggles being Brad Stevens fault. Adam explores the idea that perhaps there's an issue with the coaching staff in terms of assistants. The guys also explore moving Marcus Smart back to the bench, to allow the Kemba Walker / Evan Fournier tandem to flourish, before gushing over Aaron Nesmith's con...

Adam and Will get into Grant Williams and Semi Ojeleye's lacklustre performances against Orlando and what that means for their playoff rotation hopes. Kemba looks good, and the plan has worked, but should Brad deviate from the plan for the final back-to-back of the season? Why Jaylen Brown's defensive regression isn't a cause for concern right now, and a quick look ahead to today's Bull's game. Le...

Recorded live on the lockerroom app, Adam and Wayne Cole are joined by Tacko Fall for this exclusive interview.

The Celtics Pride team reacts to Jayson Tatum’s record breaking streak. Should he be compared to Larry Bird? Aaron Nesmith has been a huge spark for this team showing tremendous confidence on both offense and defense. Josh compares Nesmith’s basketball IQ to Romeo Langford and explains why Nesmith is ahead of Romeo on the depth chart. The guys discuss the current rotations believing Brad has final...

Adam and Greg get together to discuss Tatum dropping 60, and the improvements that have led him to this point, Tatum taking his next step towards superstardom, and the ridiculous upside of him and Brown playing together. They also get in to Aaron Nesmith's current breakout as an integral bench piece, what that could mean for Romeo Langford - and a potential bench unit that would give Boston multi-...

The Boston Celtics are currently tied with the Miami Heat in the Eastern Conference standings with two games against each other right around the corner. We discuss the importance of avoiding the play-in, and the additional practice time it would afford, before exploring the benefits of playing in the high-pressure games. We then move on to Jaylen Brown's display of leadership against Charlotte, be...

The Celtics Pride Team -- once again -- takes a look at and tries to make sense of the Celtics' recent poor and inconsistent play after frustrating losses to the Nets and Hornets. Building from that, the crew examines Celtics upcoming schedule, as well as those for the Knicks and the Hawks, to figure out whether the Celtics can -- and should -- prioritize rest, repetitions, or seeding (and avoidin...

Boston took a beating at the hand of the Charlotte Hornets. Today, Adam and Greg discuss the bad (transition defense, lack of penetration), the worse (lack of effort, poor body language, lack of accountability) and the encouraging (Aaron Nesmith, Jabari Parker at the 5, and Payton Pritchard as a penetrator) as they try to make sense of Boston's current slide back into inconsistency. Learn more abo...

Today we discuss the Celtics options at guard off the bench - what they bring to the team, and how they affect the offensive and defensive versatility of the roster. We also look at Tremont Waters and Tacko Fall, and if their two-way spots will be up for grabs after a deep draft class this year. OH, don't forget the mandatory discussion about seeding and it's importance vs health for the playoffs!...

On this episode of Celtics PRIDE, Adam, Josh, and Mike discuss the recent win streak and what has changed for this team in the past weeks. This includes the defensive impact of Tristan Thompson and Grant Williams. Role clarity for players up and down the roster and in rotations, Kemba Walker’s improved play including increased assist numbers and general ball movement. Of course, Jayson Tatum has b...

The Celtics did it again, going in at the half trailing, before coming out HOT to close the game out. Another superstar performance from Jayson Tatum, more high-level Kemba Walker, AND Jabari Parker getting into double-digits on his debut. Adam and Greg get into everything from this game, and the winning streak in general, as they enjoy discussing the positives from Boston's best stretch of the se...

Following the news that the Boston Celtics have signed Jabari Parker to a two year deal, I thought it would be best to dive into his potential fit in the rotation, and what Parker will bring to the team. Joined by Brenden Nunes of the Kings Herald, we discuss Parker's potential upside, his defensive struggles, and overall skillset. Learn more about your ad choices.

Today we explore the topic of media motivation, where players improve their performances in response to media criticism. Recently, Marcus Smart has bitten back at media questioning his defense, Jayson Tatum has been crushing it since being called out by Kendrick Perkins, and Tristan Thompson has played his best basketball of the season since responding to media questions around his locker room fit...

On this weeks live CelticsPod mailbag, we get into Kemba Walker and his value to the team - or if he's better off being salary dumped in the off season. Is Grant Williams a viable option as the back-up four long-term? Brad Stevens deserves credit for Boston's recent turnaround, the same way he deserves his share of the blame for the teams struggles this season. Favorite Celtics of all-time, most p...

On this episode of Celtics PRIDE, Adam, Josh, and Mike Interview CelticsBlog Staff Member Jeremy Stevens. They discuss how the Celtics are finally playing well (7-3 in last 10 games since the trade deadline, 3 game win streak) after so much malaise on the court, frustration from the coaching staff, and full-on fan depression. The Pride guys ask Jeremy if he thinks this team is finally turning thei...

Today, CelticsPod introduces the new co-hosts, breaks down the resiliency Boston has found in recent games, explores Tatum's growth, dives into Grant Williams and the Tweener conundrum, AND discusses the Robert Williams/Tristan Thompson battle for minutes. The Celtics have been a tough proposition in recent games, displaying a new never-say-die attitude while grinding out some hard fought victorie...

I'm joined by Greg Maneikis of the Green With Envy podcast to discuss what we learnt from Boston's loss against Philadelphia. From Robert Williams being taken to school by Embiid, to the Sixers new defensive wrinkles, the Celtics have a lot of internal development on their hands should they wish to surpass their East Coast rivals. We also look at tonight's game against the Knicks, and what hurdles...

On this episode of Celtics PRIDE, Adam, Josh, and Mike evaluate the trades made at the deadline with 10 days of hindsight. The guys discuss the Evan Fournier and Daniel Theis deals as one combined trade since the need to save money by trading Theis was a result of the Fournier trade. Adam rants about how Danny Ainge should have kept Theis and included Javonte Green in the Fournier deal to get unde...

Over the Easter weekend, the Celtics have had some impressive ball movement and offensive showings against the Houston Rockets and Charlotte Hornets. Robert Williams continues to look every bit the starting calibre center we all hoped he would be, Evan Fournier has added pace, scoring, and spacing, and Romeo Langford's return rewarded the Celtics with another lengthy wing who can defend on the per...

The Celtics fell short against the New Orleans Pelicans, but there were some really encouraging signs, most notably some solid defensive stretches, and Kemba Walker (along with Tatum). Marcus Smart got into his own head, and made some bad decisions on certain plays, but it was in no way his worst performance. Kornet looks like he could be a good player for the Celtics, while Fournier is still figu...

I am joined by Brenden for today's show, where we discuss the moves that went down on trade deadline day. Did the Celtics get better with Fournier? What questions does this raise for the summer? And why was Theis traded for Wagner and Kornet? A bunch of questions need answering - especially why did Boston miss out on Aaron Gordon? We get into all this and more! As we make sense of a crazy few hour...

On Monday, I went live on the lockerroom app to discuss this weeks trade deadline, top targets, and more with the live audience. Here is a recording of that mailbag session!
