Celtics Talk Radio Episode 303 Celtics start off the New Year winning 2 in a row

Happy New Years Celtics fans from your Celtics Talk crew. The Boston Celtics gave their fans something to start the celebrating early on New Years Eve. When they took on the NBA's top team in the Phoenix Suns. With both teams missing key players the celtics were victorious after going up by 30 points in the 1st half in route to a 123-108 win. This win was viewed by many insiders as the Celtics best win of the season. However many of those insiders also said that fans should put their foot on the brakes and wait to see what would happen in the Celtics next game because if the team had a letdown and lost then the win over the Suns would mean nothing. Sure enough the Celtics in their next game against the 2nd worst team in the NBA blew double digit 1st half lead to ultimately go down by double digits. The Celtics would trail by 12 points with just over 4 minutes left in the 4th quarter before they mounted a comeback to force overtime and would win it 116-111. So with 2 wins in a row including a win over the Suns. What are we looking at now from this team as they start this month where out of 15 games the Celtics are slated to play 10 games will feature an opponent who is currently behind the Celtics in the standings. Meaning if the Celtics can take advantage of these weaker teams which is something they have not shown themselves to be able to do thus far thie season they could make some progress in the Eastern Conference standings. Also we got 1 month left before the trade deadline which also means Celtics GM Brad Stevens, Head Coach Ime Udoka and other Celtics management must make their final decisions over the next month as to BUY or SALE players on the current roster for the playoff run. We will be joined by Rich Conte (richconte on twitter) as we discuss the last 2 games as well as what the team must do in the next month before the deadline
