Locked On Celtics - Daily Podcast On The Boston Celtics

Boston Celtics stumble in clutch loss to Indiana Pacers as officiating frustrations hit a breaking point. Can the Celtics regroup after three losses in four nights, or will mounting complaints against NBA referees distract from urgent on-court issues?

Key analysis covers Payton Pritchard and Neemias Queta’s standout moments, Derrick White’s rare struggles, and the impact of Jaylen Brown’s absence. With Sam Hauser and Baylor Scheierman unable to find their rhythm, the Celtics’ shooting woes deepened. John addresses Joe Mazzulla's postgame statements, the Celtics’ recurring ref grievances, and what the coaching staff must fix before facing the Miami Heat and Atlanta Hawks. Are the Celtics focused enough to adjust, or is more late-game heartbreak ahead?Everydayer Club  If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.
