Podcast appearances and mentions of Jabari Bird

The Boston Celtics are finally flirting with playing like the team most of us expected at the start of the season, with something resembling chemistry producing a much better version of the team on the court. They have struggled significantly as they have sought to cement a consistent identity as much as they have a consistent approach to games, but recent off-court activity on the now-complete west coast road trip have gone a long way with calming those concerns.At the same time, longtime rivals Los Angeles Lakers are facing potential disaster, as LeBron James' arrival has failed to produce measurable improvement, and has had a negative impact on team chemistry in the wake of failed Anthony Davis trade machinations, while one of their brightest prospects faces a life-threatening malady. Join Mark Allison and Justin Quinn as they discuss these issues and the remaining schedule of the season, getting us up to speed on all the above and more in this week's CL Pod.

The dust has settled on the 2019 NBA Trade Deadline, and Anthony Davis is NOT a Los Angeles Laker. That's far from the only thing that (didn't) happen, however, as multiple East teams improved their rosters for the playoffs, and teams in the Western Conference made moves that may impact the Boston Celtics incoming draft picks this summer. The Cs even made a minor but potentially impactful move by opening up a roster slot able to be filled with any of several interesting options on the buyout market. Join Mark Allison and Justin Quinn as they sort through all the week's past action, and try to divine the team's short and longer-term plans as well.

It was throwback Thursday at TD Garden last night, as Rajon Rondo, LeBron James, and the Los Angeles Lakers dropped the Celtics in front of Kevin Garnett and Metta World Peace.    Despite the wild loss, Boston did have a successful trade deadline, shipping off Jabari Bird, freeing up a roster spot, and now getting their shot at Anthony Davis this summer. Where does Danny Ainge go from here when attacking the buyout market, and how does that impact a potential Davis deal this summer?   Chris and Nick also discuss the current state of the Eastern Conference following a busy deadline, and where they see the top four finishing at the end of the postseason.     For more Celtics Videos like this SUBSCRIBE to our CLNS Media YOUTUBE Channel.

We'll excuse you if you feel like you're not sure if you're coming or going after the onslaught of Silly SZN, the as the week before the NBA Trade Deadline is sometimes called. We hear from cold-blooded killers to stay calm and things will be OK, but have the devil in our ear telling us not only the megastar we've been after for years is slipping from our grasp, but that he might take our current star player with him. Which is it? We'd be lying to you if we said we had answers, but Topher Lane and Justin Quinn sit down to talk all this nonsense, and try to make their best guesses. We also talk the All-Star Game, the Boston Celtics' improved play, and a whole lot more.

First reported by ESPN, the New York Knicks and Dallas Mavericks are agreeing to terms on a trade that will send Kristaps Porzingis and Tim Hardaway Jr. to the Mavs and Dennis Smith Jr. and DeAndre Jordan to New York. Still not movement on Anthony Davis and the New Orleans Pelicans stalemate.  Troubled Celtics' youngster Jabari Bird appeared in court.

After very-public fissures appeared in the Boston Celtics after yet ANOTHER regression to sub-standard play, and an even more public leadership epiphany from star point guard Kyrie Irving, the Celtics continue to win. Is it a change in mindset that's making the difference? Communication? Style of play? Join Cam Tabatabaie and Justin Quinn as they gingerly tip-toe around whether the change is for real, what they think is behind it, and the schedule ahead, as well as All-Star voting returns, the pros and cons of Marcus Smart's intensity, and more. We even get a chance to talk with UK correspondent Josh Coyne about this year's London Game, how the NBA continues to grow overseas, and of course, the (sad) state of the rivalry that maybe never was with the Washington Wizards through the eyes of Markieff Morris, Marcus' twin brother.

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, all in a little over a week. The Boston Celtics have played world-beater and whimperer as their best selves gave us a look at what they can do to teams like the Indiana Pacers, while also showing how little they can give each other against teams like the Orlando Magic and Brooklyn Nets. What's the deal? Who will be seeing come April, and will the seeding have gotten so bad it won't matter? Who is to blame for the bad, and who deserves credit for the good? What are Boston's immediate and longer-term priorities given all of this? Join Topher Lane and Justin Quinn as they try to make sense of this complicated and often-frustrating team as we cross the season's halfway point.

A new year has arrived, and with it, a chance for the Boston Celtics to put early struggles behind them. Join Topher Lane and Justin Quinn as they talk about the improved team play overall in recent weeks, as well as breakout performances from Gordon Hayward, Jaylen Brown, Terry Rozier, and more. We even debut our locally-sourced, recently-updated Celtics drinking game for those of you in need of some Bostonian-themed inspiration for the next big game.

Banged up and undermanned, the Boston Celtics are dealing with another unpleasant losing streak. After dropping a game to the Milwaukee Bucks, the team had an extended meeting to address the recent spate of losses. Is there light at the end of the tunnel? How long IS this tunnel going to be? What needs to happen to turn things around, and how soon can we expect to see results? Join Mark Allison and Justin Quinn as they discuss all these issues, some perpetually recurrent trade rumors, and a whole lot more.

After opening the season something of a mess on the offensive end of the court, the Boston Celtics have turned the ship around, with gusto.Not only have they gone from one of the league's worst teams in terms of putting points up, but have morphed into one of the league's most elite offensive units over the last five games. Even when missing multiple key players due to minor injuries and illness, they have still found ways to keep winning, owning the league's longest win streak. They even made history against the Chicago Bulls, breaking several league and franchise records in that 56-point victory. Join Mark Allison and Justin Quinn as they cover the offensive renaissance, and try to forgive Justin's microphone, which somehow sounds like he's talking through an old vinyl record.

The Boston Celtics had themselves a game against the New Orleans Pelicans, the offense clicking after some much-overdue starting lineup tinkering. Does that single game show us enough positive things that we can relax about the team's 10-10 start? Should we even worry about the start at all? Plenty of teams have done as bad or worse and made the postseason, some even as far as the finals. Join Luis Gonzalez and Topher Lane as they debate the current state of the green and white, as well as catch up on Boston-relevant news around the league.

First of all, Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours from the CelticsLife crew.There's not a whole lot to be thankful for lately as a Celtics fan, but Topher Lane and Justin Quinn try their best to take the long view yet again, looking at Boston's rough start and the options out there that might be a solution. We had some technical issues, so apologies about the subpar audio, and we recorded this before the New York Knicks debacle. so take what we have to say with a grain of salt. We're inching back towards the precipice ourselves, so let us know why we shouldn't take the next ticket onto the Panic Bus in the comments below, or maybe help us calm down a bit, because the Cs sure as hell aren't.

This week, things are changing in the Atlantic Division, with Jimmy Butler heading to the Philadelphia 76ers. How will it affect the Boston Celtics? Will it work out? Who's the "winner" of this deal, if anyone? The slate of games for the Cs finally relaxes a bit after a murder's row to start the season, and there's other movement of note around the league to take into consideration. Join Topher Lane and Justin Quinn as they break down all of the news of the week, and even dabble in a little NBA conspiracy talk as some unusual coincidences spark some reflection on the league's tin foil hat topics.

This week, Topher Lane and Mark Allison try to make sense of the rumors swirling around a one Terry Rozier, as well as the lingering rust the Boston Celtics are slowly shaking off early in the season. They break down the team's recent games, including whether Jayson tatum might need to re-evaluate his shot selection, and even take a look at how some former Celts we'll see playing against their former team this week.

The Boston Celtics are back on their game, and while they have some kinks left to work out, the team we expected to be watching this season is showing up, and it's noticeable.And it's not just the Celtics who are looking good, with the Boston Red Sox having just won a World Series, and the Celts will face the league's last remaining undefeated team, the Milwaukee Bucks, on Thursday for what will likely be the team's biggest test of the season to date. This week, Mark Allison and Justin Quinn get into all these issues and more, ranging from cannabis' future as medicine in the league to Tyronn Lue's firing from the Cleveland Cavaliers, Robert Williams' surprising early development, and even a cameo by the Evil Emperor himself.

With week one of the 2018-19 NBA regular season behind us, we have a very small sample of games to give us an early idea about what the coming weeks, months, and season may look like. While it might be far too small a sample size for any definitive takes, we are already beginning to see some of the issues concerning depth and roles having an impact on games, and player recovery is still clearly an issue. In the long run, some of these issues may even turn out to be complimentary, as the Celtics considerable depth may help them recover and stay as healthy as possible for an expectation heavy playoff run. Join Mark Allison and Justin Quinn this week as they break down the early on-court results for the Cs, and catch up on the goings-on of Rajon Rondo and the rest of the league in a spicy start to the season.

This week, we talk expectations as the Boston Celtics preseason winds down, and preparations for the 2018-19 NBA Regular Season begins. We discuss whether the Celt's 1-3 preseason record is cause for concern, as well as some of the bright spots from an otherwise-lackluster showing in what we HOPE is a tuneup for the games that count. We also talk expectations for the team and individual players, using a best- and worst- case model to temper expectations as much as to set the bar high. Join Mark Allison and Justin Quinn for all this and more, as the CL Pod moves back to its weekly schedule now that the regular season is upon us.

The road to banner 18 begins now. Thats right the 2018/2019 Boston Celtics season has officially begun as earlier this weeks all players and coaches arrived for the start of Boston Celtics Training Camp. As always training camp kicked off with the traditional media day across the NBA. This past Monday all Celtics players and head coach Brad Stevens were interviewed by the media to give their thoughts on the upcoming season and a lot of the big stories that the players have been connected to during the offseason. You will hear several of the audios from Head Coach Brad Stevens to All-Stars Kyrie Irving, Al Horford and Gordon Hayward to the other key players on the team like Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown and Marcus Smart. The Celtics played their first game of the preseason last night against the Hornets we will discuss how the team looked and in particular how do the players returning from injury look in their first game action since last season. Also with the arrests of Jabari Bird what is the team saying in regards to his future with the team and the possibility of releasing Bird to make room for another player. What issues does Brad Stevens and the players feels need to be figured out before the Regular Season tips off in 17 days. We will discuss all that as we are joined by Evan Valenti @EvanValenti Host of @CLNSRoundtable; Producer for Celtics Beat w/ Adam Kaufman; Producer for Good N’ Plenty w/ Jeff Goodman. Koriana Vela @korianasez TSJ 101 Sports Talent Recruiter|Warriors Beat Writer|Sports Fan|. Michael McClellan author of the book The Boston Celtics

Keith Smith joins the show to discuss how the Jimmy Butler situation impacts the Boston Celtics. Despite no direct connections to the messy situation in Minnesota, Boston is tied into this quite a bit. Whether it's Kyrie Irving implications or the Celtics owning future Clippers' draft picks, Keith explains it all. Chris and Keith also talked about the NBA's recent salary cap projections, and what it means for the Celtics moving forward, in addition to an update on Jabari Bird and what Boston and the NBA can do with his current contract.

We breakdown Jabari Bird's domestic violence case and why it's not as simple as just waiving the guard at this point. Plus, we discuss Sports Illustrated's Top 100 NBA List, where six Celtics players were named prior to the upcoming season. Should Boston fans be concerned about Kyrie Irving's health before he's offered a max contract next summer and is Terry Rozier in Danny Ainge's future plans?

Celtics Stuff Live came back to the podcast airwaves as Celtics media day sits just 7 days away! Gordon Hayward's return to full health led Jon and Justin into a wide ranging discussion on the starting lineup choices for Brad Stevens for Opening Night against the Sixers and beyond. Jon refuses move off his stance that Aron Baynes will be starting to keep Horford fresh. Justin ain't buying it... at all.   In the show's second half, the guys discussed reprehensible details of Jabari Bird's alleged assault on his girlfriend. Though many details are still to be released, the episode spurred a conversation on how the league can handle mental health issues in the face of criminal acts by the players under their care.   Thankfully, real live Celtics games are just days away... can't wait!

With training camp looming just over the horizon, most of us would like to be turning our attention to the goings-on of the Boston Celtics with renewed fervor given the lofty expectations for this year's squad.Leave it to life to make that a fraught proposition, however, with news of Jabari Bird's arrest on domestic violence charges, putting the Boston Celtics (and the NBA) into unchartered territory, as the latter has introduced a new, redesigned domestic violence protocol with little precedent to work with, but good science behind it.Three former members of the Boston Celtics are now new members of the Naismith Memorial Hall of Fame, the candidacy of at least one stirring up those debates of who belongs in what halls of fame and why, and there's been a predictable uptick in Celtics-related news as camp draws closer. This week, join Topher Lane and Justin Quinn as they try their best to tackle all the highs and lows since our last podcast.

With not much going on in the NBA world, Jabari Bird takes the news. We also discuss our favorite old school jerseys and much more!

Chris Grenham and Nick Gelso discuss a busy Thursday at the Auerbach Center. The day began with Jabari Bird's arraignment at Brighton Municipal Court, followed by the disturbing details of his arrest. On a much lighter note, Gordon Hayward was back speaking to the media and says he's ready to go. Grenham and Gelso react to it all.

Q1. Oklahoma City Thunder e Charlotte Hornets precisam realizar um ajuste importante nos arremessos se tiverem a pretensão fazer uma campanha melhor do que a realizada na temporada passada. Q2. Graças a uma cirurgia no joelho a qual Russell Westbrook terá que se submeter, Dennis Schroder deverá ser titular do Oklahoma City Thunder muito antes do que todos esperavam. INTERVALO: No quadro ENEM da NBA, três questões sobre o Boston Celtics. Q3. Jabari Bird não fez jus ao sobrenome em sua primeira temporada no Boston celtics e muito menos fora das quadras, onde está sendo acusado de ter estrangulado a própria namorada diversas vezes. Q4. Graças a um péssimo planejamento, o Sacramento Kings vai para mais uma temporada com um elenco fraco. E o que é pior: desta vez, uma campanha ruim não trará nenhum benefício à franquia. (Ep. 114)

Boston Celtics fans were offered a little more information on the troubling situation with one of the team's young players on Thursday. Jabari Bird was arraigned at Brighton Municipal Court earlier on charges of assault, kidnapping and strangulation. He reportedly kept his girlfriend in his apartment against her will for four hours. Bird's bail has been set at $50,000 and he is essentially on house arrest for the time being. The Celtics released a statement, reading that NBA policy is that the league handles these situations in terms of punishment.

After a brief vacation break Celtics Stuff Live returned to a flurry of late July NBA news, including the signing of Marcus Smart to a four year contract at a cool $52 million. Smart has a pair of fans in Jon and Justin, who were overjoyed at his re-signing. Not only does it keep a crucial piece of the Celtics run to Banner 18 in 2019, but it also provides a mid tiered contract that is easily dealt for bigger fish. The guys also talked about Isaiah Thomas reaching out to Danny Ainge about the Celtics interest in signing him this summer. While the pieces didn't fit at this time, it's great for karmic reasons.   In the show's second half, Justin and Jon recapped the release of Abdel Nader and the signing of Jabari Bird to become the team's new 15th player. Then the CSL guys broke down the Raptors acquisition of Kawhi Leonard; how the deal helps Toronto and San Antonio and creates a tougher hurdle to the Finals, at least in the short term.   Look out for the CLNS Media YouTube channel and CSL's latest video talking with Jon's son Carter and his gift of a pair of game sneakers from Marcus Smart.

The Celtics filled their final roster spot by locking up former two-way guard Jabari Bird. Shane Larkin announced yesterday that he will be leaving the NBA to sign an offer sheet in the Turkish Basketball League. Kyrie Irving has officially been cleared for basketball activities.

The Summer League Hospital Celtics may have only gotten 5 minutes from Robert Williams and have shut down the Ojeleye Factory and Jabari Bird for rest, but it seems the team has seen all it needs to see from Semi and Jabari. While the Summer League has been remarkably unremarkable, the amount of news from Vegas hasn't been voluminous but CelticsBlog's Keith Smith put out a comprehensive post with plenty of nuggets for Jon and Justin to discuss. In particular, the news of Guerschon Yabusele's less than helpful year in China setting back his defensive habits was particularly noteworthy.   In the show's second half, Jon and Justin poured over the Kyrie Irving situation and Smith's source's belief that Kyrie wants to return to Boston. There may be some concern a recruiting effort with Kevin Durant could lead Kyrie to New York, but is that really a better situation than in Boston with Tatum, Brown, Hayward, Horford, and on and on....??? 

The Celtics were without Semi Ojeleye, Jabari Bird, Kadeem Allen, and once again Robert Williams, as they had to lean on even younger and more inexperienced players for what turned out to be their final game in the 2018 Las Vegas Summer League. The injury bug hit the team hard following a short stretch of consecutive games early in July. The 95-80 win gives the Portland Trail Blazers a spot in the semifinals Monday night.

Second year forward Semi Ojeleye had 21 points to help pace the Celtics as they advanced past Kevin Knox and the Knicks in the first round of the Las Vegas NBA Summer League Playoff Tournament. Jabari Bird added a double-double, and Boston moves on to play the Miami Heat on Saturday in Round 2.

Does Tatum become the number 2 on the Celtics behind Kyrie Irving?
