Too easy for Boston Celtics & Derrick White the game changer with guest Howard Beck



No matter how many ways we look at it, the Boston Celtics are making things look too easy against the Atlanta Hawks. John Karalis of Boston Sports Journal is joined by Howard Beck to discuss if there’s anyting the C’s can take away from this series, who the Celtics might hope to play down the road, and Derrick White (and Boston’s role players) as game changers in this potential championship run.

  1. Howard Beck! Impressive…Great show and great guest John. Thanks as always. ☘️🙏🏻🔒

  2. John karalis you should do a segment dedicated to reviewing the players improvement this season and what they failed to improve on individually.

  3. John, can you imagine if Tatum's rage against his opponents was the same rage he shows the refs? I know he's just not that guy, but can you imagine. He'd be ferocious, cold blooded, and more like his idol.

  4. Hey John Karalis thanks for the link about my question today about stats driving to the basket it was pretty interesting.

  5. John, do you answer questions that are from YouTube on the mail bag? Btw, I do think complacency is a concern! Beck was a great guest! Additionally, from the Locked on Hawks, "John Karais is the Locked On GOAT!" That speaks volumes! D. White is the next Celtics superstar, hands down. As always, I love your podcasts! Also, White's personality just simply mandated time to come into his own. He's a gentle and sensitive guy. I totally understand his involvement!

  6. Haha I can't.. Typical Greek growing up in a pizza place. If you're in Stoneham (Andreas) drop by ours, we even have a tribute to Bill Russell on the side of our building 😎

  7. I dont think it could ever be a detriment to have an easier first round. Thats the point of higher seeds versing lower seeds in the first round. This is how its supposed to be, but as of recent years many lower seeds were just as strong as higher seeds.

    I think this is positive! They arent getting soft they are finding a good rythym. A rythym they can hopefully carry into the next round. They also get more rest leading up to the later rounds (which as we remember was a major issue last years playoffs.

  8. There would be nothing more fitting than beating the Lakers in the finals. Although if I had to pick a team to come out of the West it would be the Suns

  9. I hope the lads are training and resting well. A win in Game 3 would "empty the dishes" for the Series.

  10. Fun show. Game 3 is the hard game we will get their crowd and their best shot if we withstand that and win game 3 it SHOULD be a sweep and a rest up for a brawl vs Philly

  11. Hi John, I tried to send you an email as mentioned in the video but it came back as invalid, I also didn't see one listed in your description so I hope you read this here and answer for the mailbag. Can you confirm where the Celtics 2nd round draft pick will land now that tiebreakers have been decided? I believe they will pick at 35? Also, do you think Payton Pritchard could potentially fetch us a 1st round draft pick? I was looking at Utah's 18th pick (they have 3). Thanks!

  12. SH is doing much better than expected on D. He’s got some blocks, rebounds and assists. Definitely better than expected

  13. I think John's measure of fandom pulse is correct. I'd add that if LAL beats Memphis, fans will start to ideate another Celts-Fakers Final.

  14. best starting line up for boston celtics derrick white , jaylen brown , jt , al horford, Robert williams . i think we can still win with smart as a starter but hes our weak link in boston starters.
