The new Boston Celtics docuseries "Celtics City" is upon us, but what is it, and why is it like nothing that has come before? With nearly eight decades of history filled with more NBA titles (18, in fact) than any other club in league history and more regular season wins than any other team, it's safe to say that any documentary series attempting to encompass the history of the Celtics is taking on a massive task. And that is before we take into account the complex, and often fraught, history of the storied franchise, which was at the forefront of racial integration as a team in the late 1950s and early 1960s at the same time the city they played in was anything but that -- and we haven't even touched on the larger-than-life figures behind their dynastic success, or the rivalries they flourished in. This is the task of the creative minds behind the "Celtics City" documentary brought to us by HBO Sports Documentaries, Ringer Films, and Words + Pictures. The folks behind the CLNS Media "Celtics Lab" podcast got to sit down with the director, Lauren Stowell, and co-executive producer and showrunner Gabe Honig to talk about all aspects of the new docuseries, from what sets it apart to how it came together, and everything in between. Don't miss this conversation on all things "Celtics City" ahead of the debut of the first installment of the nine-part series debuting on Monday, March 3 at 9 p.m. ET on HBO and Max.

Do we need to stop fibbing to ourselves about the Boston Celtics postseason potential given what we know they can do? If you ask Drew Hanlen, star Celtics forward Jayson Tatum's trainer, the man has plenty to say on the subject. So we did! This week, the hosts of the CLNS Media "Celtics Lab" podcast, Alex Goldberg, Cameron Tabatabaie, and Justin Quinn, linked up with Hanlen to talk about Boston's season so far, Hanlen's new book, and the trades currently sending shock waves through the NBA among several topics. We also get caught up on the news and the Celtics' recent play (and whether a few close calls are cause for concern or just midseason boredom), so join us for a pre-trade deadline glimpse into Hanlen's world of late with a Celtics-oriented perspective.

The Boston Celtics have made a name for themselves as a team that is pushing the 3-point shot to ever greater heights under head coach Joe Mazzulla, and having done so helped win them a title in 2024. But now there is hand-wringing over the shot by analysts and fans of the team alike as Boston is currently in a bit of a funk from beyond the arc in recent weeks. Is the team shooting too many treys? Is such a thing even possible? Could it be that the wrong players are taking the shots? To get an answer to all of the above and some historical context with the team and the long-distance shot, the hosts of the CLNS Media "Celtics Lab" podcast joined forces with WEEI's Justin Turpin and SB Nation's Noa Dalzell to talk to former Celtics assistant coach and player Dana Barros for this week's pod. A pioneer of the shot among Boston's past players, Barros has some interesting opinions on Boston's current slump from deep and plenty of tales to share as well, so this is an episode you do not want to miss.

When it comes to playing NBA basketball at the highest levels, what you can (and can't) see clearly can be the difference between winning it all and going home empty-handed. This perspective is not lost on veteran Boston Celtics guard Jrue Holiday, who recently sat down with the hosts of the CLNS Media "Celtics Lab" podcast to talk all things Celtics, sight, and community. We get into everything from how the new City Edition jerseys look and how the right fit can do wonders for your self-esteem to the importance of visibility and representation for the Jrue and Lauren Holiday Foundation, and even get in a little talk about how soccer and boxing can make one better at other sports and aspects of life. Join us for a wide-ranging interview with Holiday made possible by Zenni Optical as we get up to speed on what Holiday is seeing with the Celtics this season, as well as the latest Boston news.

For such a popular league, the NBA's origins are among the most mist-shrouded among North America's major pro sports, with the flash, cash, and reach of the sport of obscuring its humble -- and sometimes problematic -- early history. And at the core of the institutionalized racism that was ubiquitous in the Basketball Association of America (BAA) era was the so-called ' gentleman's agreement ' that kept players of color off the floor. But a trio of black players broke that color line at about the time the BAA became the NBA in the 1949-50 season. In April 1950, the Boston Celtics drafted Chuck Cooper, the first Black man to be so honored. A month later, Nat "Sweetwater" Clifton would be the first Black man to sign an NBA contract. And six months after that, Earl Lloyd would be the first Black man to play in an NBA game. These three pioneers were recently portrayed in the film "Sweetwater," who, with Clifton as the story's protagonist, shed light on this key moment in the Association's history. Currently being screened in the Boston Film Festival, CLNS Media's "Celtics Lab" podcast linked up with the star of the film, Everett Osborne, and the son of Chuck Cooper, Chuck Cooper III, to talk about the film, how far the league has to go, and what yet still needs doing. Join us for this important episode -- and if you're in the area, consider seeing the film in its screening at the festival this weekend.

They did the thing, finally. The Boston Celtics are your 2024 NBA Champions after a historic 2023-24 NBA regular season and an equally historic run to the long-coveted Banner 18 . The game and series were won with teamwork and defense in classic Boston style, sending beloved Boston broadcaster Mike Gorman off with a proper closeout to a storied career. With the win, Celtics mystique has been reborn, a new generation of superstars established, and a new era of greatness for the most storied ball club in the history of the league. There will be time enough soon for detailed breakdowns of the game, the series, and the season. But tonight, your "Celtics Lab" podcast hosts of the CLNS Media network simply soaked it in, and shared their thoughts on this historic moment and what it means to Cameron Tabatabaie, Alex Goldberg, and Justin Quinn.

For the first time in years, the Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers both have a solid shot at winning a banner. With the tally tied up at 17 each, the stakes in this age-old rivalry are not small. Just in time to grease the wheels of that ancient enmity is a new season of HBO's " Winning Time: Rise of the Lakers Dynasty " chronicling the historic feud between the bi-coastal foes in the Larry Bird-Magic Johnson era. And while it will be many months before we know if there's a chance the two rivals will meet in the NBA Finals, the series should help keep us busy. Older fans revel in the days of Bird, Robert Parish, and Kevin McHale vs, Magic, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Michael Cooper, and Norm Nixon. Younger Boston fans can learn what all the hubbub was about. To that end, the hosts of the CLNS Media "Celtics Lab" podcast reached out to the man who wrote the book on that era in the literal sense, Jeff Pearlman, the tome in question being "Showtime: Magic, Kareem, Riley, and the Los Angeles Lakers Dynasty of the 1980s". Pearlman joined us to talk all things Celtics-Lakers, how the book and then series came to be, and what he thinks of the series having had an eagle-eye view of its creation, even appearing in cameos with his family.

For many fans of the Boston Celtics , common British sports phenomena like having the Prince and Princess of Wales in attendance of your favorite team's game or the political component of supporting one's (association) football team can be somewhat mystifying. It was a very British-inflected week for Celtics fans with the royal family in attendance for Boston's first tilt against the Miami Heat and the ongoing World Cup a point of interest for Boston fans and players both. To that end, the hosts of the CLNS Media "Celtics Lab" podcast thought it our duty to bring on Celtics Lab O.G. and resident British soccer fan and complicated-relationship-with-British-Royals-haver Josh Coyne to make sense of it all for the first in a special episode series we're calling Peer Review. Host Justin Quinn and Coyne get into some of their (and the Celtics') mixed emotions on having the royals in attendance last Wednesday, get up to speed on the good and the bad of the World Cup, and wrap things with an all-time Boston alumni soccer squad. Check out this episode whether you love footy or are as clueless about it as Justin is -- no soccer knowledge required.

The 2022-23 NBA season is far enough along at this point that we can start getting an idea of what trends have some substance to them, and which might be mostly smoke and mirrors. And in a season where many teams seemed likely to tank for prized prospect Victor Wembanyama , few are playing poorly and fewer on purpose. That might mean fewer potential trade options for contenders like the Boston Celtics , but with the way they have been playing to start the season, is that really even very big of a concern for a team whose weaknesses appear to have been exaggerated? To take stock of the 2022-23 season so far and what it might mean for Boston's teambuilding plans as they gear up for a run at Banner 18, we linked up with Heavy's Sean Deveney to talk Celtics trades, the (lack of an) epidemic of tanking, and what we like about the team so far. Join your usual hosts Justin Quinn and Cameron Tabatabaie for a deep dive into the 2022-23 stat quo and what it means for the trade deadline plans of the front office.

The Boston Celtics and Brooklyn Nets have maintained a strange link for nearly a decade now with the two teams' fate inextricably entangled first through the deal that sent Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce to the Nets, then later through the stars the Celtics drafted from the draft assets Brooklyn traded them. But the connection didn't stop there, with point guard Kyrie Irving leaving the team to join the Nets, and Boston hiring away Ime Udoka to be their head coach. Now, in recent weeks, things have taken an even stranger and more concerning turn. The Nets are poised to hire an Udoka suspended for misconduct while Irving's dalliances with a thread of antisemitism creeping through the NBA media sphere to touch the Celtics by way of Ye (FKA Kanye West). To talk about that resurgent antisemitism in a broader, historical context, as well as the more immediate impact of Brooklyn perhaps poaching Udoka, the hosts of the CLNS Media "Celtics Lab" podcast got together with The Nation's Dave Zirin to dive deep into some heavy material. Take a look at the clip embedded above to hear what Zirin had to say about his new article on Irving, as well as Udoka, Jaylen Brown's Donda ties, and more in an important episode of the Lab.

The Boston Celtics became the cornerstone franchise of the NBA because of Hall of Fame big man Bill Russell, but the iconic center's legacy cast a shadow not only over the history of the league itself, but American culture more broadly as a central figure of the US Civil Rights movement of the 1960s. Like many of us, Rep. Ayanna Pressley is a fan of Russell's for both basketball and social justice reasons, as well as being no small part of several efforts to give the legendary figure his flowers in the form of his statue in the city of Boston and a resolution honoring his legacy of works extending far beyond the basketball court. Rep. Pressley joined us on the CLNS Media "Celtics Lab" podcast for our most recent episode to talk about Russell's impact on the Celtics, the city of Boston, and our society writ large. She joined your usual hosts Cameron Tabatabaie, Alex Goldberg, and Justin Quinn to chop it up about last season's Finals run, this season's team, and they even debate the relative strengths of clam chowder vs. Chicago hotdogs as arena food.

It isn't very often that a candidate for a major political office in the United States is also a huge fan of the sport of basketball, to say nothing of the Boston Celtics . It's even less common that they are scholars of the game's history . And it's nearly unheard of one being all that and a former pro in the sport. But that would be an excellent way to describe the current Democratic candidate for Governor in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Maura Healey. Currently the state's Attorney General since 2014, Healey has previously been co-captain of the Harvard Crimson women's basketball team and played overseas in Austria for UBBC Wustenrot Salzburg. Healey has thrown her hat in the ring for the Governorship, but she doesn't just stick to politics; a serious fan of the Celtics and the sport in general, she spent her years as a player donning No. 14 in honor of Celtics legend Bob Cousy, and her time playing the sport inflects her work as a politician today. The hosts of the CLNS Media "Celtics Lab" podcast got a chance to sit down with her to talk about the Celtics of today and our past, the sport more broadly. At the end of the pod (so you can drop out if that's not your thing), we talk about her plans and tasks ahead if she wins the race to be 73rd Governor of Massachusetts. Join your usual hosts Cameron Tabatabaie, Alex Goldberg, and Justin Quinn for one of our favorite interviews in some time, as well as the trickle of news coming in from Donovan Mitchell's trade to the Cleveland Cavs to rumbles of what Boston might do to fill their final remaining open roster slots.
