Locked on Celtics with Rainin' J's

MassLive's Jay King and John Karalis of Red's Army react to Jae Crowder's Twitter outburst over Boston Celtics fans cheering Gordon Hayward, then discuss all the reasons for the Celtics' booming offense. #RaininJs #Celtics

We're back from our holiday break to celebrate a big win over the Utah Jazz and their elite defense. John Karalis and Sam Packard talk about the big things the Celtics are now doing that could begin their separation from the pack. Plus, January could be very kind to the C's while being unkind to the Raptors... are we on the verge of a huge battle for second place next week? A whole lot going on in this one! Enjoy the show! #Celtics #RaininJs

While you sipped egg nog (or whatever other beverage of your choice) The Celtics were beating the Knicks in New York, and both John Karalis and Jay King were there to take it all in. So they guys got together for a special Christmas Day show that is heavy on post-game sound from Brad Stevens, Gerald Green, Isaiah Thomas, Al Horford, and Marcus Smart. John also finds a fan who came to watch the Celtics play all the way from Australia! It's a quick, fun show that will have to hold you over for the week since we're taking a quick pod-cation until 2017! Enjoy the show!

MassLive's Jay King and John Karalis from Red's Army discuss the Boston Celtics' latest win, during which Isaiah Thomas scored 14 points over the final six minutes to hold off an Indiana Pacers charge. The co-hosts debate one good lineup, one bad lineup, and have an unexpected chat about Terry Rozier. #Celtics #NBA #RaininJs

The league and the players have agreed on a new collective bargaining agreement, which will change how Danny Ainge approaches building the Boston Celtics moving forward. In this show, BasketballInsiders.com capologist Eric Pincus joins RedsArmy.com's John Karalis to explain the biggest changes that will kick in next summer, and how they affect how Boston will do business. Enjoy the show! #RaininJs #Celtics

For 24 minutes, it looked pretty bleak, but then Isaiah Thomas came through with one of the most amazing halves of basketball you'll ever see to give the Celtics a signature win. But as MassLive's Jay King and RedsArmy.com's John Karalis note, Isaiah got a LOT of help from two key guys on the defensive end to make this comeback what it was. Still, the big story of the night was IT's amazingly efficient game. On a side note, Zach Randolph's ejection was ANOTHER indication that something is wrong with the replay system when it comes to reviewing flagrant fouls. Enjoy the show! #RaininJs #Celtics

MassLive's Jay King and Sam "Jam" Packard debate whether the Celtics are becoming who we thought they'd be at the beginning of the season. Meanwhile, the Nerlens Noel saga is worsening in Philadelphia, prompting the guys to discuss whether they'd acquire him for the Celtics. #BostonCeltics #Celtics #NBA

The Boston Celtics won a road game by 10... so that's a very positive thing. However, Isaiah Thomas got a weird ejection and the even weirder "unnatural acts" rule showed and irked us (even though it went in Boston's favor). We loved Al Horford's performance, we question Marcus Smart's fit and ability, and we try not to overlook Avery Bradley. Enjoy the show! #RaininJs #Celtics

MassLive's Jay King and Sam Packard go into the mailbag to answer questions from listeners, including one about whether the Boston Celtics should target PJ Tucker on the trade market. Other topics include Marcus Smart posing for 3-pointers, Evan Turner the savior, and whether Celtics fans should show a little more patience. #BostonCeltics #Celtics #NBA

In a shorter-than-usual episode, MassLive's Jay King breaks down the Celtics loss to the Spurs from the San Antonio airport.

The Celtics are in San Antonio and while it might seem like a tough matchup on paper, the Celtics might have a shot. Why? Because Locked On Spurs host Jeff Garcia joins RedsArmy.com's John Karalis to explain why this isn't a lock for the Spurs. Also, MassLive's Jay King has a conversation with Al Horford about Tim Duncan, and you can hear the whole thing on the show. Enjoy! #Celtics #RaininJs

MassLive's Jay King and Sam "Jam" Packard go deep into a breakdown of Marcus Smart's development -- the areas he has progressed, the areas he has stalled, and his (occasionally imperfect) fit on the Boston Celtics roster. The guys also discuss Jaylen Brown's recent strong play, and give a PSA to Celtics fans. #BostonCeltics #Celtics #NBA

MassLive's Jay King is joined by the Norman Transcript's Fred Katz to discuss the Boston Celtics' latest collapse, a 99-96 loss to Russell Westbrook and the Oklahoma City Thunder. #BostonCeltics #Celtics #NBA

MassLive's Jay King is joined by guest Sam Vecenie, an NBA Draft expert for the Sporting News. Vecenie breaks down the 2017 draft class, which he believes has a number of All-Star caliber prospects. Vecenie gives a scouting report on No. 1 pick Markelle Fultz, reveals who he thinks would be the best fit for the Boston Celtics, and projects where Jaylen Brown would have gone if he had been in the 2017 draft. #BostonCeltics #Celtics #NBADraft #NBA

Hey! The Boston Celtics played a team they should have beaten handily AND THEY DID IT!! There is very little negative to discuss after a 30 point win. Avery Bradley did amazing things... Jaylen Brown tried to kill a guy... and the Celtics just all around had a nice game despite what some local radio trolls tried to say. So MassLive's Jay King and RedsArmy.com's John Karalis stayed mostly positive in evaluating this one. Enjoy the show! #Celtics #RaininJs
