Welcome to First to the Floor, a Boston Celtics channel bringing you levelheaded overreactions, occasional coherent analysis, and a few laughs (we hope).

The Celtics arrived in Canada about halfway through the 2nd quarter, just in time to squeak out a clutch win against the Raptors. Plus, Derrick White is back, and Sam Hauser is making the haters sick.

I love this podcast. It’s fun listening with entertaining hosts, while still being very informative. I enjoy the balance of stats analysis and “eye test”. Highly recommend this to anyone looking to dive in deeper to the greatest basketball team of all time!
Been listening to/watching the show for a couple of years and, without fail, they always offer some of the best analysis you could ask for from a bball pod.
Such a good pod but I have a hard time paying attention to what they are saying as there is too much handsomeness on the screen.
I love you guys so much . I love all your takes on the Boston Celtics. Jake , Ben , Spooney and Greenie you all make the winning so sweet and losing bearable . Thank you for all your guys do for Celtics tragics like myself. Please continue this pod / show forever into eternity!!
I don’t know how to tell otherwise but yes I would definitely be in Boston for your show . Count me in
Cheers Nick Moncrieff
