    Three. More. Wins.

    Three. More. Wins.

    Kristaps Porzingis looked absolutely incredible in his return and NBA Finals debut, as the Celtics took a 1-0 series lead and are now 3 wins away from an NBA title. Jaylen Brown led the way, scoring aggressively and taking on the primary defensive assignment of Luka Doncic.
    What stood out for the Celtics strategically? Should we be concerned about the 3rd quarter lapse? Shat adjustments are likely for game 2? Plus, Tatum's "sneaky good" performance, Sam Hauser's re-emergence, and much more.

Great Celtics Pod

I could not recommend this show enough for Celtics fans. These guys bring a different vibe with them than any other C’s pod out there. Love the analysis, love the passion, love the camaraderie. Keep up the great work First to the Floor!
