  • I love this pod

    This podcast is very entertaining. Personally, I think that Chris and Kayla are the best duo. I think that you should have the rookies and bench players talk more. I love the Celtics, and they are my favorite sports team!

  • Losing interest

    Forsberg is a green teamer. I like his insights but I’m losing interest. Episodes are often from post-game broadcast coverage. I find myself skipping a lot of episodes lately.

  • Solid but could use some changes

    As a west coast Celtics fan this is a great way to keep in the loop and provides pretty good analysis. Dislike when Chris and Abby try to have banter or go off on joke tangents. Also, would it hurt you to do a podcast recording separate from the YouTube? I listen through waaaaaaaayyyyyyy too many sight gags on a podcast and y’all already crimp over half the show from the NESN postgame anyway.

  • Dream team: Abby Chin & Chris Forsberg

    The pod is always amazing, but it’s the best when Abby and Forsberg are together. Loved the discussion of food on the the recent Raptors game pod. Psyched that I got a fist bump from Abby during the last Celtics/Cavs game in Cleveland! QUEEN!!
