The Boston Celtics have been on something of a roller coaster ride in their last several games, with no clear trend establishing itself as the ball club wins a game, then loses another, only to repeat the process again. The context surrounding those wins and losses are significant, but some fans only see the “W” or “L” next to the schedule, and wonder if the Celtics would have been better off under former head coach Ime Udoka.
Based on what we have seen from Boston this season as a whole, the answer seems to be a clear one. But could there be more to such a simple (and reactionary) inquiry than at first there seems to be?
The hosts of the CLNS Media “Celtics Beat” podcast linked up with “Off the Pike” podcast host Brian Barrett to explore such a counterfactual history.
Check out the clip above to hear where they came down on their answers.
