Fans of the Boston Celtics now find themselves in what is probably the dullest part of the NBA’s 2024-25 regular season. At present, the Celtics are on the outside looking in with regard to the 2024-25 NBA Cup knockout round in Las Vegas, with a slate of mostly uninspiring opponents coming at Boston at a fairly relaxed pace in terms of the frequency of games. With that lethargic pace depressing the league’s midseason news schedule a bit, we felt it a good moment to test the waters on Bluesky — the popular new Twitter/X alternative — on its ability to deliver a quality mailbag episode. And thanks to a bevy a great questions from our listeners, the site has more than delivered. We cover everything from potential trade targets, how Boston plays on the court, and how we feel about said NBA Cup to player development concerns, causes of player slumps, and some fun, less-serious inquiries as well. So tune and and hear what we cooked up for answers to this great mailbag episode courtesy of all of your excellent questions. Celtics Lab is brought to you by PrizePicks and GameTime.
