On Boston's sizzling start with Max Lederman - and a Festivus for the rest of us

Celtics Lab NBA Basketball Podcast

The holidays are here and the Boston Celtics are amazingly good, so in true New England fashion, over at the CLNS Media "Celtics Lab" podcast, we decided to do what any other New Englander (displaced or in-region) would otherwise be doing. Complaining about stuff!

Of course, we will be doing so in our third annual Festivus episode with guest Max Lederman of NBC Sports Boston, and we did not limit ourselves to the 20-5 Celtics (it's harder than you think to criticize a team doing this well) or even the wider NBA (which, unfortunately, has been a little easier to criticize of late), branching out into the bigger problems of the world.

We kid, but also not -- and we also spend some time on recent trade rumbles, how the team has been playing and what might be coming down the pike.

We won't be doing any feats of strength (not screaming at refs calling techs for hanging on the rim counts, right?) on the pod, but we do air a lot of grievances, so join us in a Festivus for the rest of us. And bring an aluminum pole if you have one, those things aren't easy to find.
