    Boston Celtics late-game execution & Jrue Holiday on Draymond Green podcast

    Boston Celtics late-game execution & Jrue Holiday on Draymond Green podcast

    There has been a lot of conversation about the Celtics after their loss to the Hawks Monday night, but most of it is still missing the point, focusing more on the collapse than the real issue of late-game execution. John Karalis of Boston Sports Journal and Tom Westerholm discuss what went right and wrong, and why Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown needed to be better at recognizing what was needed. Plus, Jrue Holiday was on Draymond Green's podcast talking about Boston's mentality, Brown & Tatum handling the pressure, and Joe Mazzulla making him see defense differently.

    Boston Celtics blow 30 point lead, fail down the stretch, in loss to Atlanta Hawks

    Boston Celtics blow 30 point lead, fail down the stretch, in loss to Atlanta Hawks

    Everything was looking great through about 18 minutes or so as the Celtics were building a 30-point lead in Atlanta, but then the Celtics completely got bored, the Hawks started hitting a bunch of 3-pointers, and Boston played terrible, slow basketball. The result was a blown lead and a streak-snapping loss in Atlanta. John Karalis of Boston Sports Journal explains that the loss itself doesn't mean much at all, but the way they lost does because it's the same stuff over and over again.

Joe Mazzula ,

Best podcast yet

John always answers my questions on mailbag and this is a podcast about the Celtics aswell as the nba in general. He gives an unbiased opinion about what is happening around the league.

Best Celtics Podcast

Great podcast that covers the ins and outs of Celtics basketball. John knows his business, he’s insightful, entertaining and unlike other podcast hosts, he doesn’t make it about him. John’s a basketball expert who explains complicated things succinctly for the laymen. If you want a Celtics podcast that is cool and provides level headed analysis, this is what you’re looking for. Five stars.

TM203 ,

The best.
