The Survival Mode Celtics

The Celtics are officially in "survival mode" as they grind through a dreary schedule and snowy New England weather ahead of the trade deadline. It's been a strange stretch of games, highlighted by a double-overtime thriller against the Nets and a "fever dream" buzzer-beater from Hugo Gonzalez. We dive into why Hugo's undeniable impact, Sam Hauser’s career-best shooting stretch, and the reality of Jaylen Brown and Derrick White carrying the load while the team awaits a healthy Jason Tatum. Plus, a quick look at the Patriots' improbable Super Bowl run and why shovelling snow is actually amazing. Want more?
