Summary

Boston Celtics weigh the Sam Hauser vs. Baylor Scheierman starting debate as playoff positioning heats up—could Hauser’s elite threat level shape postseason matchups? John Karalis of Celtics on SI and Tom Westerholm of Boston.com break down which shooter offers more impact for the Celtics’ offense and why Hauser’s gravity changes the game for stars like Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown. The duo also examines the tactical challenge of facing the physical Orlando Magic or high-energy Charlotte Hornets in a potential first-round series. Key talking points include how the Celtics’ improved ball movement and the Jays’ elite decision-making powered their recent win over the Oklahoma City Thunder, Sam Hauser’s influence beyond the box score, and Celtics playoff rotation strategies. Can Joe Mazzulla’s squad exploit defensive mismatches and maintain momentum down the stretch? Get all the insight on Boston’s playoff path and lineup battles in this must-listen Celtics podcast.
