Havlicek Stole the Pod: On UConn-Celtics ties, New England basketball history, his new book

[ASFN Admin]

New England is the home of basketball excellence, whether we are talking at the NBA level with the Boston Celtics, or at the college level with the University of Connecticut. And Huskies beat writer Dave Borges just wrote a book tracing the history of the latter, including several key junctures where UConn and the Celtics share history.

Focused on the rise and continued success of the Huskies in "UConn Men's Basketball: An Illustrated Timeline," Borges joined the hosts of "Havlicek Stole the Pod" to talk all things New England sports, but mostly his new book and the two ball clubs' entangled history. We also talk about potential future entanglements with an assessment of how 2026 NBA Draft prospects Alex Karaban and Tarris Reed might fit with Boston, how Stephon Castle is exceeding expectations with the San Antonio Spurs in the 2026 NBA Finals, and more.

We also get caught up on all the trade rumbles, finals action, coaching searches and the rest of the Celtics and NBA news, so be sure to tune in.
