Locked on Celtics with Rainin' J's

The Boston Celtics just demolished the Chicago Bulls, so this is a perfect opportunity to wonder if the Bulls should have made the move to trade Jimmy Butler to Boston or if they're better off pursuing a free agent this summer. MassLive's Jay King & RedsArmy.com's John Karalis get into it. Enjoy the show! #Celtics #RaininJs

Danny Ainge made late comments about Isaiah Thomas that should put this to bed, but does serve as some pointed criticism of his point guard. RedsArmy co-founders John Karalis and Chuck McKenney discuss Thomas' relatively new leadership role and also answer your questions about the playoffs, the draft, and free agency.

So Isaiah Thomas has once again expressed some frustration with the coaching after a tough loss. Is this just another case of a frustrated star venting after a tough loss or something bigger? Neither MassLive's Jay King or RedsArmy.com's John Karalis are sweating it, but one of us thinks its time to put an end to things like this before people really start getting the wrong idea. Enjoy the show! #Celtics #RaininJs

MassLive's Jay King chats with the Ringer's Kevin O'Connor about Jaylen Brown's development, the top five or six draft prospects, and David Griffin's belief at the trade deadline that the Celtics might land Paul George and Jimmy Butler. #Celtics #RaininJs

The Celtics didn't deserve to win this game but they had it in hand. A couple of missed free throws and the worst turnover you'll ever see later, Phoenix is celebrating one of the most improbable wins you'll see. MassLive's Jay King and RedsArmy's John Karalis get into why some simple fundamentals would have avoided this. Also, there's a tiny bit of draft talk sprinkled into it at the end after Jay got to see Lonzo Ball in person. Fair warning: the language gets salty quickly. Enjoy the show! #Celtics #RaininJs

Good stuff from the other side's perspective! Enjoy the show! #Celtics #RaininJs

The Boston Celtics were pretty terrible for a lot of their game against the Hawks. While John Karalis and Sam Packard tried to make sense of it all, they also tried to make sense of some horrible takes on the recent struggles. Good thing Jaylen Brown is there to provide a bright side. Plus, thoughts on Andrew Bogut and Kyle Lowrie. Enjoy the show! #Celtics #RaininJs

Rip Hamilton is STILL talking (seriously dude, we get it) but the Celtics are still trying to figure out how to make sure Isaiah Thomas get some help in 4th quarters. In this episode, Sam Packard & John Karalis discuss Al Horford's aggression, Smart's winning plays, and whether Avery Bradley should just come off the bench moving forward. Enjoy the show #RaininJs #Celtics
