The Boston Celtics find themselves in an 0-2 hole after losing 111-105 to the Miami Heat in Game 2 at TD Garden Friday night. One of the big highlights from the night was Grant Williams jawing back and forth with Jimmy Butler, who ended up cutting Boston's lead with four straight buckets in the fourth quarter and cited the trash talk as motivation. After falling out of the rotation inexplicably, Grant Williams had a solid performance and made the decision to not play him even more of a head-scratcher. Even after the Jimmy Butler dust-up and "poking the bear", is it clear that Grant Williams deserves more minutes? Will Joe Mazzulla realize and acknowledge that? Join The Garden Report's Bobby Manning and Josue Pavon as they discuss the performance of Grant Williams and the aftermath of ticking off Jimmy Butler.

In a massive change before the Celtics took on the 76ers in a win-or-go-home Game 6, Boston pulled off a big change in their lineup by bringing back Robert Williams into the starting 5. Last season, the Boston Celtics thrived off a double big lineup of Williams and Horford, but with Williams spending a big chunk of the start of this season recovering after knee surgery, Boston had been using Derrick White in his place. With their backs against the wall, Joe Mazzulla made a gutsy call that paid dividends on defense, a move that had Marcus Smart "estatic".

After trailing by as many as 16 points against the Philadelphia 76ers, the Boston Celtics had a chance to steal Game 4 away but came up short in a 116-115 overtime loss. Late in the game, Jaylen Brown made a costly error by double teaming on Joel Embiid, leaving James Harden alone in the corner to hit the game-winning three. With time left on the clock and two timeouts to burn, Joe Mazzulla let the play unfold instead, which led to a made Marcus Smart three pointer that was a few tenths of a second late. Does Joe Mazzulla deserve blame for the loss?

BOSTON, MA -- Head Coach Joe Mazzulla said he liked the changes in energy that he saw from the Celtics in Game 2 as they beat the 76ers 121-87 on Wednesday night at TD Garden. After falling short in Game 1, the Celtics responded well, and Mazzulla said he liked that "They were angry, frustrated" and that the team was "Angry.

After being named the 2022-23 MVP, Joel Embiid made his return to the 76ers starting lineup after missing time with an LCL sprain. However, things didn't go as well as he would have hoped, as Philadelphia was blown out 121-87 by the Boston Celtics in Game 2 Wednesday night. Outside of a monstrous 5 blocks, Embiid was relatively quiet and still clearly hampered by his injury. Was it a mistake to bring Joel Embiid back in Game 2? Did the 76ers make a mistake by bringing him in too early after taking Game 1? Join The Garden Report's Bobby Manning and Josue Pavon as they discuss Joel Embiid in his return to play.

During the Celtics 128-120 series-clinching win over the Atlanta Hawks on Thursday night, there was one massive bright spot late in the game that swung momentum towards Boston: Grant Williams. Once a staple piece of the Celtics rotation, Williams had for some reason fallen out of favor and not gotten as much run as last season, especially in games that warranted it. In Game 5 as the Celtics were trying to stay in it, Joe Mazzulla turned to veteran Blake Griffin over Grant, which is puzzling. However, on Thursday, the Celtics turned to their tweener forward, who racked up 17 minutes and gave some crucial energy and defense to a team desperately trying to put the game to bed. With the Philadelphia 76ers waiting for them, The Garden Report's Bobby Manning calls for more Grant Williams minutes.

After gaining a 3-1 lead and going back to TD Garden, Jayson Tatum and the Boston Celtics had an opportunity to put this series away and look towards next round against the 76ers. But, with six minutes left in the game and up 10, the Celtics came unglued and failed to seal the deal, with the Hawks forcing a Game 6 in Atlanta. Tatum had a rough night, especially shooting from beyond the arc, and towards the end of the game made some costly mistakes. After their collapse, who is the most to blame?
