Returning to action post-All-Star break, with Ryan hot off the heels of being out with covid, we are back to discuss all that has taken place since the NBA trade deadline, and how it may impact the league-best Celtics. We're here to issue a fair warning to Mavs fans that life with Kyrie isn't all it's cracked up to be, and we aren't part of the group crowning the Suns as champs after the Durant trade. With Brooklyn largely out of the way, what other obstacles stand in front of the C's as we ente...

After LeBron's tantrum, and Pat Beverley's awesome technical foul, we react to what was another thrilling matchup in the storied Lakers-Celtics Rivalry. With Sam Hauser shooting new lows from beyond the arc, and with Grant Williams' recent struggles, should the Celtics look to make a trade after all? I know I would love to see Wilt Chamber-- I mean, Naz Reid, in a C's uniform by the deadline. All this and even more Celtics, plus an ambitious look-ahead to what we hope is a productive Patriots of...

Coming off of wins in grudge matches with the Warriors and Raptors, we're feeling hot about Celtics basketball! We discuss what's propelled the Celts to a 9-game win streak, and how they can keep it going this week. Injuries to Marcus Smart and Timelord are concerning, but the depth of this team is maybe their greatest strength. Which player outside of the starters have we deemed untradable? The answer may surprise you. Plus, a little Patriots offseason speculation paired with some Cowboys sland...

We can officially close the chapter on the "December Celtics" as the C's have officially rattled off seven-straight wins, and are turning things around in the month of January. Perhaps we look back on December as the turning point for this team when we're hoisting the Larry O'Brien this summer? We sure seem to think so as the winning ways of the C's seem to be present again. Jayson Tatum put together a magical MLK day performance with 51 points on terrific efficiency, highlighting their most rec...

The Celts played two premier matchups last week, taking on Kawhi and the Clippers, and Nikola Jokic and the surging Nuggets. We break down what went right against LA, and wrong against the Nuggets (aside from the 40-minute rim-repair "Rimgate"), and how it shapes the MVP race going forward. After touching on the C's upcoming schedule, we delve into some Patriots football. We're making a playoff push, and we're here for it. You didn't think Bill Belicheck would actually consider tanking, right? W...

After unwrapping presents and exchanging pleasantries with family we only see once a year, the boys recap what made this holiday so memorable. It was a good day for the Splash, from the glazed ham to the outstanding showing from Jayson Tatum and the Celtics. While trying our best to ignore the Patriots' struggles, it's become glaring that the team must make changes. Is Mac Jones' time up in New England? Trigger warning for Red Sox fans, as we discuss the increasing likelihood that Rafael Devers ...

It felt like just last week I and Ryan got on here to discuss a painful week in Boston sports. Wait, we did. While it’s not totally fair to the Celts (that awesome Lakers game was sandwiched right between the last two episodes) this was all-in-all another pretty rough week. We’re recording moments after an abysmal Jakobi Meyers lateral to Mac Jones who got bulldozed to lose to the Vegas Raiders to remove us from any and all playoff aspirations. The Celtics drop two gimme’s to the tanking Orlando...

Here we are, folks! We've made it to the half-century mark, and boy it does not feel like we hoped it would. After the Red Sox cheap out, again, and lose All-Star SS Xander Boegarts in free agency, the Celtics made sure to really rub it in by losing to rival Golden State Warriors on Saturday night. In a game where our beloved Jayson Tatum was seeing stars, it's hard to stay positive going forward. Except it's not, and Ryan and I are here to remind you why. (We still have the league's best record...

I mean, we knew they would be great, but come on? After the you-know-what with you-know-w...

As we shake off the rust (I am aware this is the second episode in a row mentioning a comeback), Ryan and I are excited to be back on the mics. Let's face it, this is long overdue.

This is a good one folks and it didn't take long to get back in the groove. Check out our new website he...

Now, before you get wayyyy too excited and lose your mind that the greatest duo in podcasting history of all time is back, just chill for a second. Ryan had grand ideas of naming this podcast episode one of season two. Being the editor of the show, I feel it is my duty to save him from falling on this sword in case he never shows up for the next episode. So, before we call it season two, or before we call it a comeback, let's just call this one "Episode 45". Warning: Episode contains bits and pi...

James Harden, his illustrious beard, his several scoring titles, and his MVP trophy are shipping up to Brooklyn in a trade that involves a lot of picks and players that are not as good as James Harden. Listen to two Celtics fans react to how this affects their current stronghold on the East, and a James Harden superfan (me, Spencer, proud James Harden stan, both now and forever) on how he feels this will impact the greatest offensive player of all time. Also, WTF Kyrie?

With Gordon Hayward gone and Tristan Thompson, Jeff Teague, and Aaron Nesmith in, did the Boston Celtics get better? Tom Herman's run has come to an end (we hope) in Austin. Is Urban Meyer the answer for the Texas Longhorns? The Patriots are bad, the Saints are somehow better than the Bucs, and our fantasy teams are fighting for last place. This NFL season... sucks.

We recap the Splash Halloween Party, why Gordon Hayward rumours are nonsense, display our great lack of knowledge of college basketball and the upcoming NBA draft, all before Ryan takes us away with a presidential-like monologue to end the episod...
