The Boston Celtics have a tough schedule for the 2025 NBA Cup. Or at least that is the point of view of the hosts of the CLNS Media "How Bout Them Celtics!" podcast, Jack Simone and Sam LaFrance, in a recent episode of their show that came out with the release of the NBA's 2025-26 regular season schedule.

A group headed by Bill Chisholm is set to take control of the Boston Celtics after the NBA Board of Governors unanimously approved the sale on Wednesday.

It will be the first season that the NBA is back on NBC since 2002, as the network will show up to 100 regular season games including five games each week during certain parts of the year on both NBC and Peacock. Color analysts for the network will include regular Celtics color commentator Brian Scalabrine.
