CL Pod 63: Talking Boston's playoff future & beyond with Jeff Siegel
It wasn't long ago Boston Celtics fans were getting ready for the second round of the playoffs after taking an early 2-0 lead in their first-found matchup with the Milwaukee Bucks.
Two losses and a tied series later, the very short-term future of the team is much less clear, and a number of questions will need answering between now and this summer regardless of how the playoffs shake out.
Once the season is over, who will be suiting up come October?
Can Boston afford both Marcus Smart and Terry Rozier?
How will Danny Ainge structure the team in seasons to come given all the potential star talent already on the roster?
Our regular listeners have heard the opinions of the CL Pod team on all these issues at one point or another, but with so many important issues headed Boston's way in the coming weeks and month, we decided to call in a special guest to provide expert opinion on all these topics and more.
