Podcasts about Boston Celtics

With Mike Vrabel making the Super Bowl in his first season, it begs maybe a reshuffling of how the head coaches in Boston are ranked amongst each other.

Jayson Tatum evaluates his legacy if it wasn't in Boston, Fernando Mendoza inks a deal with Linkedin, and producer Joe Braverman makes a bold claim about this Patriots' turnaround in the Arcand Fire.

Don't look now, but the Boston sports scene is starting to resurface itself again and it seems every team has the right guys in charge. How close are the coaches in Boston ranked amongst each other? Then, we get into the Arcand Fire including if the Patriots have had the greatest turnaround in sports history as producer Joe Braverman argues. And, Kanye West might be a little late for an apology in Clickbait.

Things look good in New England with the Bills choosing an in-house candidate to be their new head coach among many topics discussed in tonight's Headlines. Then, we salute the inspiration behind "Cheers" after his passing and one man is fed up with this recent snowstorm in the New England Nightly News. And, how many teams that the Patriots played fired their head coaches?

The full edition of The Christian Arcand Show from Tuesday, January 27th, 2026.

Buffalo makes an apparently lateral move by named Joe Brady their head coach, checking in on the Bruins against Nashville after losing to New York, and more discussed in tonight's Headlines.

“I'm going to be the best basketball player I can ever be and I'm also going to be the best father that I can ever be.” Boston Celtics superstar Jayson Tatum sits down with Ryan, Channing and Fred for a raw, wide-ranging conversation that goes far beyond the headlines and boxscore. Tatum opens up about battling through injury, the moment he nearly walked away from the game, and the mental toll that comes with carrying expectations at the highest level. Recently returning to the court for rehab and light work, the 6x time NBA All Star and World Champion opens up on how the last year has been the toughest in his life, admitting self-doubt, questioning his will to heal and contemplating his return this season. Winning a title with Celtics etched his name in Boston royalty, although the high expectations still move him to chase the legends who've come before him while his focus remains on getting back to a championship. Jayson was upfront about working through past growing pains with Jaylen Brown, the pressures of being a face of the NBA and the three words Joe Mazzulla whispered to him during the biggest moments of their Championship run. A self-proclaimed mama's boy, he shares a deep understanding of sacrifice, hard work and how growing up with little motivated him being raised by a single mom but candidly he opens up on why he values the relationship with his father differently but still a bond he appreciates. With the anniversary of Kobe Bryant's passing, Jayson Tatum reveals how he was inspired by the icon and modeled his life based on certain experiences and explains why he is completely appalled with anyone questioning Kobe's contributions to the game. He reflects on representing Team USA in 2024 on the Olympic stage, what that experience taught him, his true in-the-moment feelings with Steve Kerr and how it reshaped his perspective as a leader but also as a man. From embracing the weight of Boston's historic legacy to navigating fatherhood while still chasing greatness, Tatum shares how his humble beginnings continue to ground him. Honest, reflective, and powerful—this is Jayson Tatum like you've never heard him before.

Cam Smith and K.C. Johnson open the episode by reflecting on an emotional night at the United Center as the Derrick Rose jersey retirement takes center stage. They break down what the moment meant for Rose, the franchise, and the city, before diving into the on-court action that followed as the Chicago Bulls edged the Boston Celtics on Kevin Huerter's game-winning shot. From there, the guys recap a tough loss to the Los Angeles Lakers, sparked by a big first half from LeBron James and a double-double from Luka Dončić. They also highlight Coby White who is playing some of his best basketball of the season, Josh Giddey finding his rhythm since returning from injury, and Matas Buzelis earning another Rising Stars nod while opting out of the dunk contest. The episode wraps with a look ahead to a packed stretch of games, including multiple matchups with the Miami Heat and a visit from the Indiana Pacers, plus a debate on whether the Bulls should keep leaning into their effective double-big lineup.

Chris Forsberg and Eddie House break down the Celtics' 102–94 win over the Trail Blazers, discussing a less-than-pretty victory, the return of Jrue Holiday and Rob Williams, and what Boston could be looking to do ahead of the trade deadline.

We recap how the Seahawks punched their ticket to face the Patriots in the Super Bowl amongst many topics in tonight's Headlines. Then, the entire New England region have been buried in one of the biggest snowstorms in recent memory in the New England Nightly News. And, just how ridiculous is it to have Shedeur Sanders named as a Pro Bowl replacement?

The final hour starts with Christian debunking what a doctor has said about being certain that Drake Maye sustained a shoulder injury in the Patriots' AFC Championship win. Why should no one take this "report" with a grain of salt? Then, Arcand Fire features a old NFL poster that might have revealed the Super Bowl matchup and reliving the best from Derrick Rose in a Bulls' uniform following his jersey retirement over the weekend. And, everyone is falling in love with Drake Maye and even a new emotion in clickbait.

This year marks the 40th anniversary of one of the greatest teams in NBA history, the 1986 Boston Celtics. Back in 2016, NBC Sports Boston produced a documentary on that season called "The '86 Celtics". We gathered interviews with members of that team, media, and others in the making of the documentary. Every Monday for the next few months, we'll re-release these long-form interviews on the Celtics Talk podcast feed.In episode two…we sit down with Basketball Hall of Famer Bill Walton, who was a member of the Celtics for only two seasons, but the passion with which he always spoke about the franchise is unmatched. Walton, of course, was the star of the John Wooden UCLA teams that won an incredible 88 games in a row and two national championships. His NBA career began in Portland, where Walton led the Cinderella Trail Blazers to the 1977 NBA title.But injuries to Walton started piling up. He played in only 57% of the regular season games during his ten year career. He was rejuvenated, however, when he was traded to Boston in the summer of 1985. Here is our extended interview with Bill Walton, conducted by the director of The ‘86 Celtics documentary, Tory Champagne.WATCH THE FULL DOCUMENTARY ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL WATCH every episode of the Celtics Talk podcast on YouTubeFollow NBC Sports Boston:NBCSportsBoston.comX @NBCScelticsFacebookInstagramTikTok Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The Celtics lose 114-111 after a corner 3 from Huerter with .2 seconds left on the clock. The Celtics had a lot of opportunities in this game to close out the Bulls but couldn't quite pull through. I can't say I had super high expectations for this game coming off of a 2OT win just yesterday but it still hurts to lose a game that you were in all the way up to the end. JB was excellent in this one but didn't get enough help. For a full game breakdown and player analysis, check out the full podcast below!This podcast is brought to you by me, Guy DePlacido.

Clutch play from the Celtics down the stretch forced two overtime periods against the Nets in Brooklyn. The C's were up by 10 with 3:06 to go in the 4th-quarter, but a late rally from Brooklyn forced overtime. Boston looked dead and buried in OT, but some crafty plays, including a game-tying three from Hugo Gonzalez, forced double-OT. From there, the C's did just enough to leave Brooklyn with a win.

Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for this weekend. Munaf Manji opened the Friday, January 23rd episode of Cash That Ticket on RJ Bell's Dream Preview by setting the stage for a packed betting discussion heading into the weekend, with Championship Sunday, NFL coaching news, NBA analysis, promotions, and best bets all on the agenda. Dave Essler joined him still frustrated from the previous night's loss tied to Franz Wagner being ruled out late, which caused a sharp line move and turned what looked like a favorable position into a loss from the opening tip. Munaf revisited that game, noting how Charlotte's strong record on the second leg of back to backs was mentioned but ultimately ignored, a decision both agreed was a learning moment. Dave emphasized that no bettor hits one hundred percent and that losses must be studied rather than dismissed. The conversation shifted to NFL news with Munaf breaking down the Baltimore Ravens hiring Jesse Minter as head coach on a five year deal, highlighting his defensive success with the Chargers and his prior time in Baltimore. Dave admitted surprise that the Ravens went defense first, stressing that the offense, particularly Lamar Jackson's durability and passing limitations, remains the bigger question and will hinge on the offensive coordinator hire. Early Ravens win total speculation followed, with ten and a half discussed before schedule context softened some concerns. Attention then turned to Patriots versus Broncos props, where Munaf floated Jared Stidham over 32.5 pass attempts, reasoning New England would force him to throw. Dave countered with Drake May unders if backing the Patriots and strongly endorsed Pat Bryant over 2.5 receptions despite heavy juice, citing Denver's likely pass heavy script and Bryant's role before his prior concussion. Injury notes on Troy Franklin reinforced value on secondary Denver receivers, with both hosts recalling how Bryant's early catches last week were erased by injury. For the NFC matchup, Munaf backed Sam Darnold to throw an interception based on repeated struggles against the Rams and defensive familiarity. Dave added Matthew Stafford under 36.5 yards for longest completion, pointing to Seattle's recent success eliminating explosive plays, while also discussing long shot props like Davante Adams to lead receiving yards. Munaf countered with Stafford passing yard trends in Seattle and suggested live betting opportunities if the Rams trailed, along with Cooper Kupp over 30.5 yards. The show moved into NBA, starting with Rockets versus Pistons, where Munaf highlighted Houston's poor performance on road back to backs, recent defensive collapses, and Detroit's elite defensive rating of 100.1 over the last ten games. Cade Cunningham's status was key, with value tied directly to his availability. Dave warned about rapid line movement tied to injury news and leaned toward Pistons team total overs or split half strategies. Raptors versus Blazers followed, with both noting improved defenses, Portland's back to back trends, and a shared preference for the under. Best bets closed the episode with Dave backing Rutgers as a home underdog against Indiana, citing matchup and motivation, while Munaf laid points with the Phoenix Suns based on their league best ATS record and defensive form, and added Celtics team total over 112.5 against a struggling Nets defense. The episode ended with updated news of Cade Cunningham participating in shootaround, reinforcing earlier Pistons angles, and reminders about discipline, injury monitoring, and adaptability heading into the weekend slate.

Cam Smith and K.C. Johnson take a reflective look at the legacy of Derrick Rose, ahead of his jersey retirement, revisiting the moments that defined his journey from a Chicago prodigy to one of the most electrifying players of his era. The guys walk through his rise with the Chicago Bulls, from being selected No. 1 overall to the peak of his prime, while also acknowledging the challenges and lost time that shaped his career. The conversation expands beyond the court, touching on Rose's early roots, his influence on basketball culture, and his impact in Chicago after his playing days, including his continued efforts to give back to the city. They also look ahead to the jersey retirement night against the Boston Celtics, and which familiar Bulls faces are expected to be in attendance for the momentous occasion.
