What's REALLY happening with the Celtics? TRUTH behind Derrick White, Payton Pritchard, Joe Mazzulla
Episode 2512
Are the Boston Celtics' struggles overblown, or is the team rounding into true form? John Karalis of Boston Sports Journal and Tom Westerholm of Boston.com challenge fan perceptions, breaking down why player criticism—especially of Derrick White and Payton Pritchard—doesn’t match the numbers. They spotlight Jaylen Brown’s explosive All-NBA caliber performance, debate whether recent shooting slumps are masking positives, and question if clutch results are skewing the conversation on Boston’s actual process.
Key topics include a data-driven look at the Celtics’ improved defense, increased offensive rebounding, and how Joe Mazzulla is quietly adapting his coaching strategy beyond the “just shoot threes” stigma. Plus, insights on Neemias Queta’s surprising impact and why fans should focus on process over single-game results. Don’t miss this candid assessment of the Boston Celtics’ evolving identity and what it means for their path in a loaded NBA East.
