Mailbag: Winning ugly, Neemias Queta's impact, and the strongest Boston Celtic

Locked On Celtics - Daily Podcast On The Boston Celtics

Can the Boston Celtics Win Ugly and Still Dominate?

The Boston Celtics, a powerhouse in the NBA, sometimes find themselves in gritty, "ugly" games. But there's a difference between winning ugly and disrespecting their opponents. John Karalis of Boston Sports Journal explores this in a new mailbag podcast. The episode also questions the Cleveland Cavaliers' status as true contenders this season, Neemias Queta's role and performance, a debate on who should take technical free throws and speculation on the physically strongest Celtics player. Also, a look at a proposal to factor missed games into scoring averages to discourage load management.

Join the conversation and discover unique insights into the Celtics' strategies and challenges. Listen now for an engaging analysis!
