Celtics Suck Live's Justin Poulin and Jon Duke tried to valiantly talk their way through the Chutes and Ladders 2019 Celtics season.

In matter of three days the Celtics went from having solved all of what ailed them through the first half of the season to right back up that proverbial creek without a paddle.

Maybe those three bench players have found their games an ...…

The Boston Celtics gave their fans an incredible Christmas gift with a nice win over the Sixers during a entertaining Christmas Day contest. We can only hope this win, coupled with the blowout over the Hornets serves as the turning point after a dispiriting 3 game losing streak... bottoming out in a home loss to the league worst Suns. Justin an ...…

Michael Jackson sang about the Man In The Mirror, but Celtics Stuff Live this week talked about the Men In The Middle.

The woes continue for the Celtics and the questions are beginning to pile up as everyone tries to understand how this team continues to disappoint. The word of this week is clearly "Purpose."

The Summer League Hospital Celtics may have only gotten 5 minutes from Robert Williams and have shut down the Ojeleye Factory and Jabari Bird for rest, but it seems the team has seen all it needs to see from Semi and Jabari. While the Summer League has been remarkably unremarkable, the amount of news from Vegas hasn't been voluminous but Celtic ...…

Jon and Justin kicked off the show looking at the rocky, though still brief, tenure of Robert Williams.

Moving ahead, the continued restricted free agency o ...…

Apparently if you believe Stephen A. Smith's report, there is a chance the Celtics will have a shot at sitting down with James as he figures out Decision 3.0.

But for their faithful listeners, the offseason talk has begun with a spirited discussion about the Celtics rotation i ...…

The hospital Celtics just didn't have enough shots left in their doctor's bag to pull out one more "against all odds" win in the 2018 NBA playoffs.

Jon and Justin looked ba ...…

After a pair of dispiriting performances in The Land, the Celtics return home with the series tied at two games a piece.
