Locked On Celtics - Daily Podcast On The Boston Celtics

This show can be boiled down to one simple theme.... these guys are pretty good.

We get into the epic game against Golden State, including how awesome Avery Bradley's defense has been. Plus, the very good problem of how to fit Marcus Smart into this lineup and what his return will allow the Celtics to do for Brad Stevens.

It wasn't ALL sunshine and rainbows in this show, though. I questioned how the Celtics were handling things down the stretch and whether Isaiah Thomas gets away from the things that have worked in those situations.

Plus, what happens with Sully in the offseason?... the importance of James Young's recent play... a PERFECT send off for Kobe Bryant and Jay King's beef with the fans...

All that... AND... we're giving away 2 tickets to what is likely Kevin Garnett's last game in Boston. All you have to do is listen to the show and tweet me the two code words I mentioned. The first person to do so gets the tickets, courtesy of TiqIQ. #Celtics, #NBA

John and Jay discuss an interesting week for the Celtics. David Lee (or for some reason, John calls him Derrick) and his desire for more minutes is an instant hot topic (and fodder for one of John's rants). Also, is Avery Bradley on more than just a hot streak, is he going to work his way into All Star discussion? Plus... Wyc's open to trading the Nets pick, Danny Ainge's masterwork with the Celtics contracts, we yell at Michael Jordan, look at why the Spurs are the Spurs and what the Celtics need to be to get to that level. And... What if we re-imagined the All-Time NBA starting lineup for today's go-small, pace-and-space NBA. Just gonna say: Larry Bird as a stretch 4 is oh so amazing.

John & Jay look back on what was really a very good week for the Boston Celtics. They currently boast the best defense in the league and a re-tooled starting lineup. We discuss the evolution of the rotations, and how they seem set now. We hand out our 15% of the season MVP, John compares Jae Crowder to a drink on the Simpsons, Jay looks WAAAAY into the future and gets irrational about the playoffs, and John caves in and declares Evan Turner..... too important to trade. All that plus a discussion on Kevin McHale and.. could Steph Curry score 100 points in a D-League game? #BostonCeltics #Celtics #NBA
