October 11, 2016 03:18 - 33 minutes

One of the biggest question marks this season is whether Terry Rozier can handle being the primary backup to Isaiah Thomas. And if he can't, is Marcus Smart up for the job. We hear from Celtics Head Coach Brad Stevens and Swingman Jae Crowder on what they've told Rozier and Smart they need to do to succeed.

LOCKED ON CELTICS- October 7: Horford, Bradley continue to impress in preseason

October 07, 2016 03:46 - 52 minutes

Boston came out slow but figured things out in a big way in the second half. Al Horford is making a huge impact, Avery Bradley may be piggy-backing on that to make a huge impact on his own, and maybe the second unit is figuring things out. Of course the Isaiah Thomas wrist issue is worrisome, but MassLive's Jay King and RedsArmy.com's John Karalis are trying to keep it positive here while still keeping level heads.
