Episode 261: Celtics Lose to 76ers, Beat Raptors and Potential First-Round Playoff Opponents

Sam and Jack are back after two close Boston Celtics games. Before they get into that, though, they talk about the MBTA and video games, and Jack tells a story from his substitute teaching days. They fell to Joel Embiid and the Philadelphia 76ers before taking down the Toronto Raptors at home. This leads to a discussion about the Celtics' struggles in close games, as well as Marcus Smart's recent play. The guys then break down potential first-round playoff opponents and congratulate Jaylen Brown for taking home the Red Auerbach Award. Lastly, they complete this episode's edition of The Rat List. Let us know your thoughts, and as always, thanks for listening to How 'Bout Them Celtics!
