    Losing interest
    Forsberg is a green teamer. I like his insights but I’m losing interest. Episodes are often from post-game broadcast coverage. I find myself skipping a lot of episodes lately.

    Solid but could use some changes
    As a west coast Celtics fan this is a great way to keep in the loop and provides pretty good analysis. Dislike when Chris and Abby try to have banter or go off on joke tangents. Also, would it hurt you to do a podcast recording separate from the YouTube? I listen through waaaaaaaayyyyyyy too many sight gags on a podcast and y’all already crimp over half the show from the NESN postgame anyway.

    Dream team: Abby Chin & Chris Forsberg
    The pod is always amazing, but it’s the best when Abby and Forsberg are together. Loved the discussion of food on the the recent Raptors game pod. Psyched that I got a fist bump from Abby during the last Celtics/Cavs game in Cleveland! QUEEN!!

    I’ve been a fan since ESPN
    Please stop over praising JT he’s good but he’s not there yet let him grow and enjoy it while watching…… And start giving JB some respect and praise.

    Declining
    Forsberg has been a reliable reporter and commentator on the Celtics for a long time and often provides great perspective. Amina does not appear to do her research at all or understand the machinations of the salary cap (e.g. stating the Celtics should sign Lonzo Ball or Kyle Lowry). She does not seem ready to engage meaningfully in these discussions and just makes proclamations without support or foundation.

    Amina
    I have always liked and listened to the show and Chris’ comments and insights. However the introduction Amina Smith has definitely been a negative. I’m sure she’s smart and sports knowledgeable but she offers very little depth or deep understanding with her observations about the Celtics. I hope she gets better cause in meantime, I will hold off listening to Chris and this podcast. Of course, I’ll continue watching you, Chris, on pre and post game tv analysis. Until then, Thanks. Bob

    Meh
    The new person Amina I’m sure is a wonderful person but sounds like she doesn’t even watch the games and is never actually even in Boston. I’d like to listen to people actually care if the Celtics win and have a history with the team. Also there doesn’t really appear to be any unique perspective s being offered. Also the obsession with Robert delicate as tissue paper Williams gets really old.

    This podcast is just turning into one whining session after another. If you’re going to complain all the time, in my mind, you need to be putting out some solutions.

    Tends to be objective
    Overall it’s the most objective pod for Celtic content I could find but I’ll be curious what happens when Stevens and Ainge are no longer around cause I feel they’re are defended by Celtics media.

    I love it but don’t be negative Forsberg!!!
    Don’t be negative #canceltheracistfelger

    Trade talk
    Love the discussion - but please remember when lamenting keeping Hayward and moving Kemba because he’s making too much $$ and he’s limited in game play when coming back from injury - we had freakin Hayward for 3 years , he’s the same age as Kemba, made basically the same $$ and was really only true to form for the Celts for maybe 1/2 of a season because of all his injuries... Lots of discussions during his tenure with Celts about whether he’ll ever be the same player as he was with the Jazz given how injury prone he was. And low and behold - he goes to Charlotte and lights it up... Be care what you wish for because Kemba is a dedicated, driven player.. Deal him and guarantee he also lights it up wherever we move him to.

    My Fav Cs Podcast
    Lots of changes over the past many months but this has really become my favorite podcast for the Cs. Good balance between concrete ribs, analysis, dialogue, and interviews. Keep ‘em coming.

    Please no more Scalabrine!
    I usually enjoy the podcast but whenever Scalabrini is on the show is unlistenable. All he does is talk about himself and act like his opinion is final. (It isn’t). He also acts like he is better than the hosts. (He isn’t)

    Love it ☘️🏀
    Thank you so much for the deep analysis on the Celtics I love that there’s a pod for just the Celtics. Thank you so much!
  • qclaj
    Good podcast
    Good crew. Fun to listen to after a game
  • Do Not Use LendingTree
    Bring Back Sherrod!!
    At least address his (and Abby’s) situation on the pod, come on now. Not easy, I know, clearly a pandemic-forced business decision from up top. But we love them and need closure! 🍀🏀
  • BCplace2B
    Mike & Tommy
    GREAT stories from the Hall of Fame duo. From Tommy’s artwork to Mike selling papers at Neponset Circle and sneaking into the old Garden. Funny, heartwarming for any basketball fan. Just what we need right now! Thanks to Chris and the guys,
  • Zagato4r
    More Michael Holley
    The Michael Holley Chris Forsberg episode was excellent. I appreciate Holley’s honesty and historical perspective.
  • toolmanken
    Argue too much
    Sharod and the other commentator argue too much, I feel like I’m listening to Stephen A, love to hear opinions without the drama. Just saying
  • BWong420
    Low quality pod, but still love the Cs
    I really only tune in for the player interviews and it’s nice that every episode is time stamped now. However, the time stamps they give for the different segments are always at least a minute or 2 off from when a segment actually starts and ends. Not sure if this is intentional for the ads but it’s super frustrating as a listener. With the actual interviews themselves, a lot of times you can tell they take place during practice which is fine and often times cool to hear the practice going on in the background. I just wish that noise would stay in the background. The sound quality on the interviews are awful, you can’t make out what they’re saying at all over the sound of sneakers squeaking which is a killer on the ears. I’m going 2/5 stars for mediocre takes and low quality interviews. Sorry fellas

    A. Sherrod Blakely
    I had to stop listening as soon as I heard A. Sherrod Blakely!! His lack of basketball knowledge is embarrassing to Boston sports!!
  • fincasalma.com
    Love it
    Kinda sorta Homers, but entertaining and I was looking for high quality homer show about Celts...love their interplay and clear respect they have for each other and the game.
  • Goodwatast
    Can’t take it
    I’ve been listening to the guys talk about the Celtics since about halfway through the season. Recently they started to run ads from a sponsor that require them to talk about “manscaping”. That’s where I draw the line. I don’t need Draper or Tanguay creating that image. One star. Pick better sponsors.
  • treali
    Locked on Celtics
    Great podcast I look forward to listening to it.
  • ImpossibleDrmr
    Fun and Informative
    It so much fun to listen to Sherrod, Chris and Kyle, but these guys also drop a lot of knowledge on you! A Must-Listen!!!

    Love the Chemistry
    This Celtics podcast is by far the most enjoyable one I’ve heard yet. I’m a huge C’s fan and I enjoy the Celtics topic but the chemistry between these three guys is just really fun and makes the podcast that more enjoyable I look forward to listening every week to their analysis and joking with one another. I recommend this podcast it’s a fun and enjoyable. One thing that impresses me about it is how real these guys keep it...they’re not fluffing they genuinely talked real basketball and are not afraid to talk about what’s really happening with the team. I’ve been listening for three months straight and I want you guys to know keep it up you guys are doing awesome. I’ve been a Celtics fan for over 30 years and love this show. Kyle Draper excellent!! Asharod Is really really on point and works so well with Drapes and Chris rounds things off nicely. Chris is solid. Guys stay together for a long time Please!!!

    5 stars

  • B-2 spirit guy

  • daphnedlcrz
    Awesome Podcast
    Great podcast for any Boston Celtic fan and you will have a laugh or two.
  • cgmjr
    Solid Podcast
    The content and interviews are great. Sound quality between the two hosts can be painful - one is always significantly louder than the other.
  • JMwindigo
    PLEASE dump Kyle, add Abby!!
    Kyle, you are the WORST sports tv personality I have ever, ever had to tolerate. Ever. No, Kyle, no one gives a rat's you-know-what about you, we're on here to follow the Boston Celtics. Sharrod, you're awesome -- knowledgeable, insightful, more. Abby, you're awesome -- great interviews, great energy). Scal, you're great too -- more great energy, always adding awesome Xs & Os insight, more. Kyle... where to start... EVERYTHING is about you, or so you think. Add to that (incredibly annoying) fact, you really just don't add ANYTHING to the conversation... your team and player knowledge is at a 3rd grader's level, your on-camera skills are WORSE than a 3rd grader's level. HOW did you get ANY broadcasting job and for the love of god, HOW did we get stuck with you??? I mean, aren't you even a 76ers fan? You said that on air once. Ugh, I literally turn down the volume whenever you're speaking. PLEASE DUMP KYLE, GIVE ABBY ALL HIS AIR TIME EVERYWHERE. Thank you.
  • sambode14
    Really good breakdown of the C's
    Kyle and Sherrod have a great chemistry talkin' hoops, even though it seems like they want to kill each other sometimes. Love hearing from the variety of guests!
