How can the Boston Celtics build back to a sustainable model like the OKC Thunder?
How can the Boston Celtics build back to a sustainable model like the OKC Thunder? How can the Boston Celtics build back to a sustainable model like the Oklahoma City Thunder? In this cap environment, the Thunder are uniquely poised to contend despite the punitive second apron restrictions currently pushing the Celtics to shed salary. Is there a way that Boston could mimic the team building strategies used by GM Sam Presti that got them there? Is it a fool's errand to even consider such a thing for the Celtics? And if an OKC-esque path is not on the table for Boston, what would the best path forward for the Celtics be given everything they currently have on their plate? The hosts of the CLNS Media "The Big Three NBA" podcast, A. Sherrod Blakely, Gary Washburn, and Kwani Lunis took some time on a recent episode of their show to talk it over with guest Josue Pavon.

Are the Boston Celtics bound to face the Cleveland Cavaliers in the East Finals?
Are the Boston Celtics bound to face the Cleveland Cavaliers in the East Finals? Are the Boston Celtics bound to face the Cleveland Cavaliers in the 2025 Eastern Conference Finals?

The hosts of the CLNS Media "The Big Three NBA" podcast, A. Sherrod Blakely, Gary Washburn, and Kwani Lunis, took some time on a recent episode of their show to talk over the potential for a Boston - Cleveland collision to decide who represents the East in the 2025 NBA Finals.

The Boston Celtics looked poised to repeat as champions given the way they have been playing to end the 2024-25 NBA regular season.

Will the NBA actually expand into Europe? Will the NBA really expand into Europe? For much of the recent history of the league, when it came to the topic of expanding the NBA universe, most of the attention was focused on whether that meant to Las vegas, Nevada, Mexico City, Mexico -- or perhaps a return to the old home of the Seattle SuperSonics in Washington State. With the league having helped put together the Basketball Africa League (BAL) so recently, it came as quite the surprise to hear news break that the Association might have designs on expanding onto the content of Europe -- especially given the fact that the Euroleague is one of several popular leagues already established in the region. The hosts of the CLNS Media "The Big Three NBA" podcast, A. Sherrod Blakely, Gary Washburn, and Kwani Lunis, linked up with Gary Washburn of the Boston Globe to talk it over. Check it out below!
