The Boston Celtics had themselves a historic turnaround midseason under first-year head coach Ime Udoka, seeing the team make the leap from the Eastern Conference’s 11th-place position to nearly stealing the top seed to close out the 2021-22 NBA season is not a feat we see with frequency in the league the Celtics now sit near the top of.
To soak in the significance of such a shift, virtually unprecedented in team history, the hosts of the NBC Sports Boston “Post Game Plus” show Chris Forsberg and Amina Smith were joined by Boston alum and fellow broadcaster Kendrick Perkins to talk the season in context after the Celtics’ 139 – 110 blowout of the Memphis Grizzlies.
The trio also share the words of coach Udoka, Payton Pritchard, and Al Horford on the most unusual season they had a role in helping to make happen.
