What is wrong with the Boston Celtics to cause them to drop two games to the New York Knicks to start their 2025 NBA Eastern Conference Semifinals second round series? Not only that, but they lost the contests on their own home court of TD Garden after being up in the second half of the game by as much as 20 points.
From effort to decision making, coaching, and health, there are a host of things to point to that are not going right for Boston right now. Is there a solution they can pull out of a hat to prevent their season from ending in the second round of the 2025 NBA Playoffs?

What do we know about the Boston Celtics trade talks with other NBA teams?
What do we know about the Boston Celtics trade talks with other NBA teams so far this offseason? As the 2025 NBA draft draws closer by the day, we are hearing an increasing amount of chatter about what the Celtics front office has been doing on the trade front as they likely look to offload salary ahead of a potentially historic payroll and tax bill. But it is also the time of the league calendar where one can find a lot of rumors about trade plans coming from parties trying to influence the outcome of deals for their own interests, so all things percolating up about Boston's trade plans should be taken with several grains of salt. The folks behind the "NBA Front Office" YouTube channel put together a clip from their show talking over what they have been hearing about the Celtics.

Are teams really interested in trading for star Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown?
Are teams really interested in trading for star Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown? Are teams really interested in trading for star Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown? The Georgia native is one of the top 20 or so players in the NBA, so there should be no reason that they would not want to have him on their roster, save for the cap concerns created by the second apron of the NBA's collective bargaining agreement (CBA). But they also have to think there is at least a chance they might be able to pry him away from the Celtics to let their interest in Brown slip to the league's news breakers, and we have recently heard from ESPN's Shams Charania that there is indeed interest in trading for the Cal alum. The folks behind the "WEEI Boston's Sports Original" YouTube channel put together a clip from their "WEEI Afternoons" show to talk it over recently. Take a look at the clip embedded below to hear what they had to say.

Rick Carlisle's 2-word statement sums up Pacers' Game 2 loss to Thunder
The post Rick Carlisle's 2-word statement sums up Pacers' Game 2 loss to Thunder appeared first on ClutchPoints. As the Indiana Pacers lost in Game 2 to the Oklahoma City Thunder in the NBA Finals, 127-103, one can point to multiple aspects throughout the game that led to the team's demise. While the Pacers suffered the blowout loss to the Thunder, head coach Rick Carlisle gave his thoughts about the team's performance, that was short and straight to the point. Advertisement After an exciting ending to Game 1, which featured Tyrese Haliburton hitting the go-ahead shot to give them the comeback win, Indiana in Game 2 was dominated by a hungry Oklahoma City team. When Carlisle was asked how he felt the team handled the increased physicality from the Thunder, he didn't waste too much time with his answer via video from X, formerly Twitter, user '@ohnohedidnt24.' 'Not well,' Carlisle said. Carlisle would open his post-game press conference by speaking about it now, back-to-back contests with struggles in the first half, according to the team's YouTube page. 'Another bad first half,' Carlisle said after Indiana scored 41 points in the first half compared to Oklahoma City's 59. 'Obviously, it was a big problem, and we just played poorly. A little better in the second half, but you can't be a team that's reactive and expect to be successful or have consistency. So, we're going to have to feel a lot better on Wednesday.' Rick Carlisle speaks on Tyrese Haliburton, rest of Pacers Alonzo Adams-Imagn Images With the loss, there was conversation around the frustrating game from the Pacers' star in Haliburton, who totaled 17 points, scoring 12 in the final period. Also having six assists, there are fingers pointed to Haliburton for the loss, but Carlisle would come to his defense, saying that 'everybody's got to do more' and the team works best as an 'ecosystem.' Advertisement 'There's a lot more to the game than just scoring. Everybody's got to do more,' Carlisle said. 'Starts with the best players, starts with Tyrese and Pascal and Myles, and then it goes from there. People shouldn't just look at his points and assists and judge how he played or judge how any of our guys played just on that, that's not how our team is built, We're an ecoystem that has to function together and we gotta score enough points to win the game, but who gets them and how thety get them, not important.' At any rate, the series is now tied at one win apiece, with Game 3 taking place in Indiana as the team looks for the first championship in franchise history.
