Locked On Celtics With Rainin' J's

Boston Celtics unravel in 29-point blowout as Derrick White’s hot hand can’t rescue team from nightmare shooting night against the Charlotte Hornets.  John Karalis of Celtics on SI breaks down the Celtics’ collapse at TD Garden, spotlighting missed layups, energy lapses, and a rare no-show from the bigs—including underwhelming outings by Neemias Queta, Nikola Vučević, and Luka Garza. The podcast tackles Jaylen Brown’s shooting struggles, Payton Pritchard’s scoring drought, and how Boston’s defensive drop coverage backfired, fueling a Hornets three-point barrage. Key stats—like a season-low five second chance points—highlight the Celtics’ struggles to generate their usual edge. With Dallas looming and Jayson Tatum potentially returning, can the Celtics find their form or is this a sign of deeper issues down the stretch?
