Locked On Celtics - Daily Podcast On The Boston Celtics

The Celtics looked dead for almost 30 minutes after a blistering start to the game. We had planned on lamenting another missed opportunity for the Celtics to get a win against a struggling team. Then Isaiah Thomas went off in one of the best 4th quarter performances you will see, and so John Karalis of RedsArmy.com and Sam Packard spend a bunch of the show just marveling at how IT does it. Also in the show: Marcus Smart can pass, young guys like Jaylen Brown and Terry Rozier are facing tough roads, Gerald Green is infuriating, and oh yeah by the way Avery Bradley just continues to chomp glass and be the team's best rebounder.
