Celtics preview with A. Sherrod Blakely - a podcast by Kurt Helin, NBC Sports

It's a Finals or bust season for the Celtics, who last won a title in 2008 but now are not only the favorite in the East but also are seen as maybe the team in the league with the best shot to dethrone the Warriors. They have the coach in Brad Stevens, the system, and the talent with Kyrie Irving, Gordon Hayward, Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, and the overlooked Al Horford. A. Sherrod Blakely, who covers the Celtics for NBC Sports Boston, joins Kurt Helin of NBC Sports to talk all things Celtics, from the rough preseason through the high expectations and what Boston needs to do to reach them. That includes finding ways to keep everyone happy on one of the deepest teams in the NBA. There's even a little Anthony Davis trade talk thrown in.
