In the latest episode of Missing the Point, we dive deep into the world of the Boston Celtics, dissecting their recent challenges and eagerly anticipated 2023 schedule. The spotlight is on the recently acquired Kristaps Porziņģis, whose injury revelation during the FIBA World Cup has raised concerns. We explore the implications of Porziņģis' plantar fasciitis for the Celtics and assess whether the trade involving fan-favorite Marcus Smart was a sound move or if fans are feeling a hint of "buyer's remorse."
Shifting gears, we turn our attention to the Celtics' 2023 schedule, revealing that an impressive 30% (24 out of 80) of their games will be showcased on the national stage. ESPN, TNT, and ABC will be broadcasting 10, 9, and 5 games respectively, echoing last season's exposure. Notably, the Celtics' potential advancement into the Knockout Rounds of the In-Season Tournament could elevate their national TV presence to 25 games.
We highlight key matchups that promise basketball enthusiasts an exhilarating experience. The season opener on November 25th pits the Celtics against the Knicks on ESPN. The holiday spirit comes alive as the Celtics face the Lakers on Christmas Day, a game to be aired on ABC. A pivotal encounter awaits on January 19th when the Celtics host the defending-champion Nuggets on ESPN.
Join us for a comprehensive analysis of the Boston Celtics' journey. From injury concerns to strategic trades and a compelling schedule, we bring you insights that matter. Tune in to Missing the Point on all major podcast platforms to stay informed and engaged with the latest developments in the world of basketball.
