Is this the year the Boston Celtics get back to the NBA’s mountain top? On a recent episode of the Volume “Hoops Tonight with Jason Timpf” podcast, Chris Mannix, a senior NBA writer at Sports Illustrated, joined the show to discuss the Celtics and the broader NBA landscape at the start of the 2023-24 trade season.
The conversation took a close look at the Celtics’ performance so far this season compared to the lofty expectations analysts had for the ball club, and dialed in on Boston’s late-game execution, offensive strategies, and the recurring third-quarter struggles. Mannix and Timpf explored All-NBA forward Jayson Tatum’s development, highlighting his strengths, improvements, and key areas for growth as well. Most importantly for Celtics fans, they took a deep dive into Boston’s playoff prospects.
