Locked on Celtics with John Karalis and NikNBA on YouTube who always has great technical breakdown and play analysis.
I’m really liking the Locked on Celtics podcast. Great analysis and John doesn’t seem to gush over players with a ton of bias. He calls out flaws when he sees it and gives credit to opposing players when they deserve it. It’s a great show if you want to listen to an in depth analysis.
Timi comes to mind
Yes. He does a good job of stitching together the most important plays a player contributes to during his highlights. Really like those.
First To The Floor is…
They kinda sold out, it feels like. Took that gambling money, and don’t even have the excuse of being part of a network that requires it (like I assume the Locked On network does).
Their intro for videos doesn’t even include Marcus Smart anymore, MISTER “First To The Floor”, but are happy to still include Horford who left.
Not to mention all the usage of national broadcast sound clips, leaving the locals out to dry…
/rant over
I hate that sports media is infested with gambling money to this extreme degree. People don’t realize how evil these companies are. Listening to creators like the First to the Floor crew speak about their betting as if it were just an innocent little hobby, honestly makes me sick. Following the NBA is difficult these days if you have a sense of morality, and vampire Adam Silver is to blame.
How ‘Bout Them Celtics, Garden Report, and Locked on Celtics.
Noa Dalzell has a good one called ‘you got Boston’
Oh man, that’s a great name. I didn’t know she had one, thanks
It’s a good one! She’s great, love her writing
I am big on the Garden Report. Been a fan for years and have merch
NikNBA is really cool for some film breakdown and explaining some of the sets they run after a game
Garden report, Still Poddable, First to the floor, Off the pike, Locked on Celtics. Just some of the ones I listen to depending on the mood.
Garden report is the best mix of breakdown and entertainment
The one I listen to the most is the White Noise podcast. I think the host is pretty famous.
Yeah I think I’ve heard of that guy!
First to the Floor
First to the Floor, been listening since 2019
I’m a huge fan of Locked on Celtics, but be warned, all the Locked On Network shows have some long ad breaks.
Which is what the fast forward functions are for.
Garden report is fun especially after a big game a lot of laughs!!
That Timi guy who does the highlights without an ad every 12 seconds
More of a league-wide focus, but the Hoops Tonight podcast with Jason Timpf is excellent in regards to basketball analysis. He also seems to really respect BOTH of The Jays, which is refreshing.
Second this, Timpf is probably my fav analyst by a mile (even though he’s a Lakers fan lol).
Timpf is my favorite for league wide analysis
Awful Coaching when we win. :)
That guy cracks me up!
Still Poddable with Jay King is by far the best. You Got Boston with Noa Dalzell is also great. Locked On Celtics is unlistenable when Karalis is by himself. He’s very good when he has a guest but alone he just can’t help repeating himself over and over.
For me its Foresberg and Kara then How Bout them Celtics with Sam and Jack
Nope. Locked On Celtics by John Karalis is the top Celtics podcast. IMHO and objectively (by listens)
