The Boston Celtics have hit some late season turbulence with several recent contests ending in a Celtics collapse, and those defeats often taking the shape of an overtime loss after being up double digits. Is it the lack of continuity for Boston's best players? A need for rest? Coaching inexperience under head coach Joe Mazzulla, or a problem with his preferred, 3-point heavy style of play that has become known as Mazzulla ball?

Whatever it is, the Celtics need to identify and solve the root cause(s) before it derails their designs on getting back to the 2023 NBA Finals this postseason. And with 16 games left on the 2022-23 schedule, there's not a lot of time to get it right. What can the team try to right the ship?

To get to the bottom of why Boston has been playing poorly of late and what they can tinker with to change that, the hosts of the CLNS Media "Celtics Lab" podcast linked up with NBC Sports Boston's Chris Forsberg to talk it over.

We also get into the typology of Mazzulla ball, Jaylen Brown's case to make All-NBA this season compared to the field and why that matters for retaining him, and get caught up on the rest of recent news, so be sure to tune in.
