1
00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:09,480
Speaker 1: Dound off with me folks down the Boston Celtics remaining

2
00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:12,960
Speaker 1: perfect on the season at four and zero after a

3
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:16,800
Speaker 1: win over the Milwaukee Bucks. Who is this second top

4
00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:20,880
Speaker 1: tier Eastern Conference contender that the Celtics have taken down

5
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:23,119
Speaker 1: so far this season. Of four games, two of the

6
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:25,880
Speaker 1: games we're against some of the lower teams in the East,

7
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:30,040
Speaker 1: the Detroit Pistons, the Washington Wizards, But two of the

8
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 1: wins are against teams that many people are saying are

9
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:37,920
Speaker 1: Boston's challengers in the East, the New York Knicks on

10
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:43,239
Speaker 1: opening night and again tonight against Damian Lillard against Giannis Antetokumpo.

11
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 1: The Celtics come out with the eleven point win. And listen,

12
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 1: this game, as we saw the other night against Detroit,

13
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 1: was not perfect for the Celtics all night long. They

14
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 1: came out kind of slow. You got to give credit

15
00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 1: to Milwaukee. Whatever they were doing on defense seemed to

16
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 1: kind of low Boston's offense down. There wasn't as much spacing,

17
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:05,959
Speaker 1: there wasn't as much ball movement, as much body movement.

18
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:09,479
Speaker 1: But eventually the Celtics found their way, and we're gonna

19
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 1: talk about that later in the episode. But a few

20
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:15,120
Speaker 1: things that stood out from this one, and obviously Peyton Pritcheard,

21
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:18,760
Speaker 1: I mean, another exceptional game. This guy is red hot

22
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 1: from three point range. There are not many people, if any,

23
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 1: in the NBA right now who are hotter from long

24
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 1: distances than him, and we're gonna talk about that more

25
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 1: in detail later in this episode. But the Celtics in

26
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 1: large part won this game because of his shooting on

27
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 1: a night when Jason Tatum did not shoot the ball

28
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 1: all too well, guess who did. Peyton Pritchard coming off

29
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 1: the bench gave the Celtics the offensive boosts that they

30
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 1: needed and that wound up pushing them into the winner circle. Obviously,

31
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 1: along with some other contributors along the way. But Peyton

32
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 1: Prichard was awesome and we're gonna talk more about him

33
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 1: later on.

34
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 2: Another thing that we want to talk about is Jordan Waalsh.

35
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 1: How about this Walsh getting a call out of nowhere

36
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 1: to many people's surprise, to check into the game in

37
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:08,080
Speaker 1: the first quarter of tonight's game against Milwaukee.

38
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 2: Did you expect it?

39
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 1: Probably not? Did I expect it, absolutely not. I did

40
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 1: not see that coming. But thirteen minutes off the bench

41
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 1: comes in in the first quarter again, in the second

42
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 1: half and made some plays. I mean, one of the

43
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:26,360
Speaker 1: key stretches of the game happened because of him. It

44
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 1: was during an eighteen to two run for the Celtics

45
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 1: to close out the third quarter start the fourth quarter.

46
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 1: Energy is what he provided to the Celtics. The Celtics

47
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 1: had a shot in transition that they missed at the

48
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 1: basket and Jordan Walsh came out of nowhere trying to

49
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 1: crash the glass. Did not grab the rebound on that attempt,

50
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 1: but he did draw a loose ball foule which kept

51
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 1: the ball in the Celtics favor. And then just seconds later,

52
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 1: after another misshot Walsh came in out of nowhere, tried

53
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 1: to dunk it home on the rebound attempt, but wound

54
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 1: up tipping it in for his only two point of

55
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 1: the night. But that stretch really contributed to the crowd

56
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:08,119
Speaker 1: getting into the game, the Celtics building momentum, and eventually

57
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 1: pulling away for the win. And a thing that stands

58
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,359
Speaker 1: out to me about Jordan Walsh is I haven't heard

59
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 1: a lot of people say it, but there's one role

60
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 1: on this team that is wide open for the taking.

61
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 1: That the Celtics had last season and whose role was

62
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 1: that O'shaber set. He's not back with the team, but

63
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 1: think back to last season. What do you remember about

64
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 1: what o'shaper set brought to the Celtics every time he

65
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 1: checked into the game, every time he came out too

66
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 1: the floor, what do you remember energy? He played with

67
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 1: pure energy, and that role is wide open for someone

68
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 1: to take in this rotation. Jordan Walsh made a claim

69
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 1: tonight that he might be that guy if he plays

70
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 1: that hard, with that type of energy, making good decisions

71
00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 1: with the ball in his hand, knowing that he's got.

72
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 2: A ton of ten around him. He doesn't need to

73
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 2: try to score.

74
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 1: He doesn't need to try to take over offensively and

75
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 1: then find his way defensively.

76
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 2: And make an impact at that end.

77
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 1: That's exactly what o'she Brissette did last season. You've got

78
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 1: to know your role, you've got to buy into it,

79
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 1: and that might be it for Jordan Walsh. Do we

80
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 1: know that he's going to be a consistent contributor to

81
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:26,599
Speaker 1: this team. No, it's too early. He wasn't that last season.

82
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:30,039
Speaker 1: He's got to prove himself. But seeing what he did

83
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 1: tonight and bringing that energy and really playing a role

84
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,359
Speaker 1: in Boston building the momentum that wound up leading to

85
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 1: the win. That's a pretty good first step in trying

86
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:45,360
Speaker 1: to cement yourself if you're Jordan Walsh into Boston's rotation

87
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:49,279
Speaker 1: as someone who's going to be called upon consistently to

88
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 1: provide something very specific to the team that they need

89
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:58,160
Speaker 1: on certain nights. So that happens, and then you've got

90
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 1: to say that there's a difference in this team this

91
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:09,280
Speaker 1: season compared to seasons past. It feels like other teams

92
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:14,279
Speaker 1: are constantly battling uphill against the Celtics. And I'm pretty

93
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 1: sure the Milwaukee Bucks so go back into their locker

94
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,040
Speaker 1: room and maybe go on the bus tonight, maybe on

95
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 1: the plane and talk to themselves. Like I felt like

96
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:24,040
Speaker 1: we were playing pretty good for most of that game,

97
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:28,480
Speaker 1: only hanging neck and neck with the Celtics. It's a

98
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:33,280
Speaker 1: constant uphill battle and then at some point, boom, they

99
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:35,720
Speaker 1: hit you with a haymaker. They being the Celtics, they

100
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 1: knock you out and pull away. What does that remind

101
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 1: you of? I know what it reminds me of, and

102
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 1: that is the dynasty that was the Golden State Warriors.

103
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:50,159
Speaker 1: Now I'm not saying that the Celtics team is going

104
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 1: to be a dynasty. All I'm saying is that that

105
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:59,160
Speaker 1: feeling of playing against the Warriors, in constantly feeling like

106
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:02,040
Speaker 1: you were battling uphill, Like I remember being at all

107
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:05,559
Speaker 1: of those games, both in Boston and in Golden State,

108
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:09,279
Speaker 1: in San Francisco and Oakland, in remembering what it felt

109
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:13,159
Speaker 1: like to play against that team, You felt like you

110
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:16,479
Speaker 1: had to play perfect basketball just to be close.

111
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:21,040
Speaker 2: And that's what it feels like with this Celtics team.

112
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 1: And again it's early, We're only four games into the season,

113
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 1: but Milwaukee just showed it again tonight. You hanging close,

114
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 1: you feel like you got a shot, You're playing pretty

115
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 1: darn good basketball, your two stars are making an impact,

116
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:41,160
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, the Celtics find their

117
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 1: way and they're ten to fifteen points ahead in an instant.

118
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 1: That's exactly what used to happen when the Warriors were

119
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 1: winning championship after championship. So again, we're not making predictions here.

120
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,679
Speaker 1: We're not saying the Celtics are gonna win as many

121
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:03,599
Speaker 1: games or as many titles as those Warriors teams did.

122
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:07,840
Speaker 1: But what I am saying, and I'm saying it with confidence.

123
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 1: Is that playing against this Celtics team has to feel

124
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 1: a lot like playing against those Warriors teams. A constant,

125
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:21,239
Speaker 1: uphill battle, and when it gets to the fourth quarter,

126
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 1: that's a lot that has worn on your body in

127
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 1: your mind throughout the first three It's like in football

128
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 1: when they say you got.

129
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 2: To run the ball, run the ball, run the ball,

130
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 2: and wear the defense out by the end of the game.

131
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 1: That's what it has to feel like playing against the Celtics.

132
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 1: They're just constantly coming at you and then eventually, boom,

133
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 1: they're gonna hit the big play.

134
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 2: And they did it again tonight.

135
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 1: All right, we're gonna get into Pritchard, so let's take

136
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 1: some comments from the fans. One of them specifically is

137
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 1: about Pritchard, so that's where we're gonna talk mostly about him.

138
00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 2: That's coming last.

139
00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 1: But first up, we got Michael Klapp on the difference

140
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 1: between this year's team and teams of the past.

141
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 2: I just gave my take. Let's hear what he has

142
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 2: to say.

143
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 1: Then we're going to Tomo and he comments on Boston's balance,

144
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 1: and then lastly we've got Florida man chiming in on

145
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 1: Peyton Pritchard and something we might be able to start

146
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 1: talking about, even though it's early in the season with.

147
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 2: Regard to Peyton Pritchard.

148
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:22,760
Speaker 1: So let's dive in to our first comment here that's

149
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 1: coming up from Michael Clapp. All Right, Michael Clapp says,

150
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 1: finally we have the ability to turn it on and

151
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 1: off after years of losing winnable games where they didn't

152
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:39,559
Speaker 1: look locked in, feels like they finally have the ability

153
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:43,080
Speaker 1: to just turn it on late and win easily anyway.

154
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 1: That just goes to show the talent on the team. Michael,

155
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:48,439
Speaker 1: I totally agree.

156
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 2: With you that.

157
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:51,200
Speaker 1: Well, I agree with you in a sense that it

158
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:55,080
Speaker 1: feels like the Celtics this year are different than teams

159
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:57,199
Speaker 1: in the past because there's a moment in the game

160
00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 1: where they're just gonna have their spurt ability takeover and

161
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 1: they're gonna run away with a win, kind of like

162
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 1: I just commented on, Do I think that they are

163
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:06,440
Speaker 1: turning it on and off?

164
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 2: No?

165
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 1: I do not think that's the case. I mean tonight,

166
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 1: I think they were playing with effort. They were trying

167
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 1: to play great basketball. They just weren't making the same shots,

168
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:19,959
Speaker 1: they weren't making the same passes. It just wasn't their

169
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 1: night for the first few quarters. But then to your point,

170
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:27,599
Speaker 1: it's not necessarily that they turn it on, because I

171
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 1: think it was on all night, but it finally caught

172
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 1: the rhythm. The Celtics finally caught their rhythm, and then

173
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 1: from that point on, Milwaukee just didn't have enough to

174
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:41,720
Speaker 1: stay with them. So it is different than prior seasons

175
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 1: where some of these games you feel like the Celtics

176
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:47,200
Speaker 1: might have lost. And actually, going through many of the

177
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:50,440
Speaker 1: comments that people sent in for tonight's game, it's that

178
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 1: they feel like there's something different and.

179
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 2: That the Celtics are going to win games that they

180
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 2: used to lose.

181
00:09:57,640 --> 00:09:59,560
Speaker 1: And I felt that the Celtics turned the page a

182
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 1: little bit last season in that regard. I mean, they

183
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 1: won sixty four games, they had to have won some

184
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 1: that they probably should have lost. But it feels like

185
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 1: that is now a common thing where the Celtics they

186
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 1: find a way and they're gonna pull away at some

187
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 1: point in the long run. There's gonna be nights where

188
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 1: they just don't have it and it's gonna be four

189
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 1: quarters of them not playing great basketball. And by the way,

190
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:27,960
Speaker 1: there's also gonna be nights just like there was with

191
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 1: the Warriors back in the day, where they played great

192
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 1: and the other team just happens to play better.

193
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:37,200
Speaker 2: It's gonna happen. It's the NBA. There's talent across the league.

194
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 1: There are a lot of really good teams with a

195
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:42,080
Speaker 1: lot of really good players in this league. So there's

196
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 1: gonna be Knights like that. But the Celtics have that

197
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:50,720
Speaker 1: ability to just boom, catch their rhythm, pull away and

198
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 1: deposit what was a close game into the win column

199
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:57,319
Speaker 1: with a double digit margin. And that's exactly what they

200
00:10:57,320 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 1: did tonight against a Milwaukee team that I'm going to

201
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 1: mind you everyone is saying is one of the top

202
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 1: three or four teams in the Eastern Conference. They've got

203
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 1: two of the best players in the NBA. The only

204
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 1: guy that they're missing right now is Chris Middleton. So

205
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 1: that team was pretty close to holl tonight. They're one

206
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:18,200
Speaker 1: and three on the season, and the Celtics just dealt

207
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 1: them that third loss.

208
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 2: So the Celtics did turn it on.

209
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:23,839
Speaker 1: Not to say that they weren't playing well, but they

210
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 1: did turn it on with the rhythm, they caught it

211
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:31,080
Speaker 1: and they pulled away for the eleven point win. All Right,

212
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 1: Next up is Tomo saying, I love the fact that

213
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:38,959
Speaker 1: it can be a different guy every night. That's team basketball, baby,

214
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:42,840
Speaker 1: with two exclamation points. Holliday was huge down the stretch.

215
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 1: Peyton Pritchard was amazing. JB had a solid game even

216
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 1: though he started slow. Tatum may not have scored a lot,

217
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 1: but he made a lot of good reads. That's what

218
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:54,079
Speaker 1: Tatum's gonna do every night. There's never gonna be a

219
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 1: night where Tatum doesn't read the defense well.

220
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:56,960
Speaker 2: He always does.

221
00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 1: It's just a matter of sometimes he's not gonna make

222
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 1: the shots. Sometimes the passes that he makes, his teammates

223
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 1: aren't gonna make the shots, so maybe the numbers won't

224
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:06,679
Speaker 1: be there. But back to your original fact here in

225
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 1: your point here, Tomo, and love the fact that it

226
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:10,720
Speaker 1: can be a different guy every night.

227
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 2: It really does feel that way.

228
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:16,959
Speaker 1: Drew Holliday hit the two biggest shots in the game

229
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:22,439
Speaker 1: Saturday night in Detroit. Two three pointers back to back

230
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 1: erased a six point deficit, tied the game, all the

231
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:31,200
Speaker 1: momentum behind the Celtics. Tonight, Peyton Pritchard catches fire, scores

232
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 1: the season high twenty eight points. Jalen Brown had a

233
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:39,199
Speaker 1: great game, thirty points, his first thirty point game of

234
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 1: the season on ten of nineteen shooting. Jason Tatum has

235
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:47,280
Speaker 1: two thirty seven, but he was just named Eastern Conference

236
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:50,840
Speaker 1: Player of the Week. Let's keep going down the list.

237
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:53,839
Speaker 1: Derek White, we all know he can score twenty something

238
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 1: points and take over a game at both ends of

239
00:12:56,360 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 1: the court. Sam Houser has not played since opening night.

240
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:04,079
Speaker 1: He's gonna be a guy who impacts the offense and defense.

241
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 1: Chris has porzingis when he gets back. We all know

242
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:10,320
Speaker 1: what he can do. A dominant seven foot three presidents

243
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 1: who can post up, score on the perimeter, and be

244
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 1: a matchup nightmare for teams when he runs a pick

245
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 1: and pop or pick and roll with Jalen Brown or

246
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:22,240
Speaker 1: Jason Tatum. We talked about Drew Holliday and then Al

247
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:25,079
Speaker 1: Horford just steady as can be all the time. Again,

248
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:28,440
Speaker 1: Tonight drains another couple three pointers for the Celtics, did

249
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:30,960
Speaker 1: not miss from three point range and shot four or

250
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:36,720
Speaker 1: five from the field. So there is a top eight

251
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:41,880
Speaker 1: on this team where anyone can have a great night,

252
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:47,200
Speaker 1: anyone can take over. Just like tonight we saw Jason

253
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 1: Tatum shot six to sixteen from the field. Scored fifteen points.

254
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:53,640
Speaker 1: You would have thought coming into this game, if that

255
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:57,560
Speaker 1: took place, Milwaukee was not only maybe gonna win, but

256
00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 1: they definitely were gonna be close. Well, they were for

257
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:05,040
Speaker 1: three quarters, and then Prichard and the Boys pulled away.

258
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:08,720
Speaker 1: Jalen Brown and the Boys pulled away, and the Celtics

259
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:10,679
Speaker 1: win by double digits. And at one point they were

260
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:14,400
Speaker 1: up by eighteen, so it wasn't that close. Down the stretch,

261
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 1: it's just guy at their guy at the guy, and

262
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 1: again it goes back to the original point. It feels

263
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 1: like battling an uphill battle constantly, because you just get

264
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 1: If you're not getting hit by Jason Tatum, you're getting

265
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 1: hit by Jalen Brown. If you're not getting hit by

266
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 1: Jalen Brown, you're getting hit by Jew Holliday. If you're

267
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 1: not getting hit by Jew Holliday, it's Derek White, so

268
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 1: on and so on and so on. There's just so

269
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 1: much talent top to bottom. It's almost impossible to stop.

270
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 1: There's no way all of these guys are gonna be

271
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 1: off in the same game. Maybe there might be a

272
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 1: game where most of them are off. There's almost never

273
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 1: gonna be a night where all of them are off,

274
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:56,720
Speaker 1: so just talent top to bottom. It's really incredible to watch,

275
00:14:57,440 --> 00:14:59,680
Speaker 1: and it was fun to watch tonight as the Celtics

276
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:04,200
Speaker 1: advance to four and oh all right, our last one

277
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 1: of the night coming in from Florida, man saying hashtag

278
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 1: PP six m why we all know what that means.

279
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:16,240
Speaker 1: That means hashtag Peyton Pritchard six Man of the Year,

280
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:19,160
Speaker 1: and ladies and gentlemen, it is early, but we need

281
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 1: to have the conversation because he is putting his name

282
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 1: into that conversation right from the start of the season.

283
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 2: Let's run through the numbers, folks.

284
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 1: Twenty eight points off the bench tonight for Peyton Pritchard

285
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 1: eight of twelve from three point range.

286
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:36,920
Speaker 2: That ties the.

287
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 1: Boston Celtics record ever for most three pointers made by

288
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 1: a reserve off the bench ties Eddie House. Shout out

289
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 1: Eddie House for being a guy who could come off

290
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 1: the bench and just drain threes. Well, Peyton Pritchard's that

291
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 1: guy too. He can distribute, he can disrupt defensively. He

292
00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 1: is a great player who a lot of people overlook

293
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:02,800
Speaker 1: early on in his career. I said it early on

294
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 1: to a lot of people. I said, I think this

295
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 1: guy could go to a bad team in the league

296
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 1: where he plays thirty minutes a night in average twenty

297
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 1: That was.

298
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:13,840
Speaker 2: A few years ago. Just imagine what he could do now.

299
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:20,320
Speaker 1: This three monster of Drew Holliday, Derek White and Peyton

300
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:24,040
Speaker 1: Pritchard is absurd. You've got guys who can do different

301
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 1: things offensively, guys who can do different things defensively. And

302
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 1: Peyton Pritchard comes out of nowhere tonight with twenty eight

303
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:33,600
Speaker 1: off the bench. Listen to the numbers of what he

304
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 1: has done in the last three games from beyond the arc.

305
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 1: He's now eighteen for twenty nine from three point range

306
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 1: over the last three games.

307
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 2: Eighteen for twenty nine.

308
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 1: That's sixty two point one percent from three point range.

309
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:53,480
Speaker 2: There's people, and.

310
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:56,360
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna say any names, maybe in this game tonight,

311
00:16:56,800 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 3: who can't do that from the free throw line. Peyton

312
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:06,120
Speaker 3: Pritchard is doing it from the three point line sixty.

313
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:10,919
Speaker 1: Two percent over three games. This guy is on an

314
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:14,240
Speaker 1: all time heater right now. Hell of a way to

315
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:19,800
Speaker 1: start out the season for Peyton Pritchard. Huh, I mean unbelievable.

316
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 2: Uh.

317
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 1: Do Celtics know that they've got a weapon off the bench.

318
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:28,920
Speaker 1: They've got endless weapons in the starting lineup. They've got

319
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:32,760
Speaker 1: Sam Hauser coming back soon, another weapon off the bench. Eventually,

320
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:36,800
Speaker 1: they're gonna have Christas porzingis back. He's gonna start. And

321
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:40,960
Speaker 1: this team is just gonna get deeper, in deeper, in deeper.

322
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:44,000
Speaker 1: And if you ask the teams that they've played so

323
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:48,440
Speaker 1: far this season, they would probably say that's not fair.

324
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:53,760
Speaker 1: How can that team get deeper. Well, it's gonna happen.

325
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:57,320
Speaker 1: They're gonna try to go five and zero on the season, folks.

326
00:17:57,359 --> 00:18:00,919
Speaker 1: Wednesday night, they are taking on the Pacers out in Indiana.

327
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:05,679
Speaker 1: That opens up what is a four game road trip,

328
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:07,720
Speaker 1: so the Celtics go away for a while.

329
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:09,719
Speaker 2: They've only played two home games this season.

330
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:12,679
Speaker 1: They're going to try to rattle off some more wins

331
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:14,960
Speaker 1: on the road and try to come home to Boston

332
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 1: in a couple of weeks with a nice record under

333
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 1: their feet. And they just happen to be taking on

334
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:25,480
Speaker 1: in their next home game Steve Kerr and those Golden

335
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:27,720
Speaker 1: State Warriors that I talked about, So this is all

336
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 1: lining up perfectly. Can't wait for the Celtics to be

337
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:33,119
Speaker 1: back in town. But in the meantime, they're going out

338
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:35,160
Speaker 1: on the road and trying to grab some more wins.

339
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:39,240
