Locked On Celtics - Daily Podcast On The Boston Celtics Locked On Podcast Network

Jayson Tatum is a champ, but so much of the conversation around him is focused on trivial hate that will probably do nothing but get him to lean into the hate and win more championships. If Joe Mazzulla is showing Tatum clips of The Dark Knight Rises, then Tatum might be in for a Joker moment. John Karalis of Boston Sports Journal gets into that before welcoming Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey on the show to celebrate the Celtics and also talk about how much the team is doing off the court.

Joe Mazzulla has been called crazy and whacky by his Celtics players, but they also love him, and for good reason. He's not your typical NBA head coach, but he's a champion, and he got there his own way. John Karalis of Boston Sports Journal shares some of Joe's most intense and endearing moments in an episode full of appreciation for a coach who made history in Boston.

The Boston Celtics are World Champions, and the celebration is still ongoing. The Celtics official account was among many that had fun pulling receipts, so John Karalis of Boston Sports Journal and Tom Westerholm lean into it too, taking on some of the worst takes and why they were absolutely ridiculous.

The Celtics never trailed in Game 5 of the NBA Finals, but they had some moments where it didn't look great. But the Mavs couldn't hit a thing and they never really threatened Boston. The Celtics cruised to Banner 18 and Jaylen Brown was the MVP. John Karalis of Boston Sports Journal is at the Garden to celebrate, take a victory lap or two, and talk about Kristaps Porzingis playing hurt, Al Horford getting a ring, and Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown having big nights.

Did the Celtics want Game 4 TOO much? Jayson Tatum explains why their performance in Game 4 might have been more pressing than letting up. Plus, Joe Mazzulla comes the closest he'll come to criticizing his team publicly by laying out the most important things for Game 5, regardless of the question he's asked. John Karalis of Boston Sports Journal has all that and some easy adjustments to finish this series off in five.

The Celtics got their doors blown off in Game 4 in one of the worst losses in NBA history. The Mavs played harder and executed better. John Karalis of Boston Sports Journal says the Celtics had their opportunities to stop the game from getting out of control, but they just couldn't make the right decisions at the right times to stop Dallas. In the end, it's not that big of a deal, and they have a chance to win a championship at home.
