00:00:07.490 --> 00:00:16.670
Happy Halloween, everybody.
2
00:00:16.730 --> 00:00:21.129
Welcome to Celtics Weekly presented by CineD Mobile. Megan Adelini
3
00:00:21.170 --> 00:00:23.809
here with Mark stole my look, D'Amico.
4
00:00:23.850 --> 00:00:26.929
Hey, I'm still wearing Halloween colors here, okay? I went
5
00:00:26.969 --> 00:00:28.289
from costume to colors.
6
00:00:28.649 --> 00:00:31.550
Guys, before we get into the week ahead, I'm going
7
00:00:31.570 --> 00:00:34.210
to clear the track out because we need our guy, Mark,
8
00:00:34.579 --> 00:00:36.899
To take a little victory lap, what did you predict
9
00:00:36.960 --> 00:00:38.159
at the end of last week's show?
10
00:00:38.460 --> 00:00:39.780
Let's roll the tape back.
11
00:00:39.820 --> 00:00:40.920
Let's roll it. Let's watch.
12
00:00:41.079 --> 00:00:42.280
You've got the bulls.
13
00:00:42.299 --> 00:00:42.909
There it is.
14
00:00:42.969 --> 00:00:44.630
You've got the Nets.
15
00:00:44.969 --> 00:00:46.429
And you know what that means, Meg?
16
00:00:46.670 --> 00:00:46.890
What?
17
00:00:46.990 --> 00:00:48.429
You take care of business tonight.
18
00:00:48.850 --> 00:00:50.750
Celtics might be 3-1 by the time.
19
00:00:50.609 --> 00:00:51.890
We record the show again next week.
20
00:00:52.049 --> 00:00:54.070
I like the sound of that.
21
00:00:54.189 --> 00:00:54.909
I'm just saying.
22
00:00:56.590 --> 00:00:59.270
That's why you stick around until the end of the show, okay?
23
00:00:59.289 --> 00:01:01.130
Because you're going to find out exactly what happens the
24
00:01:01.170 --> 00:01:01.689
next week, Meg.
25
00:01:02.270 --> 00:01:04.260
I can't reach. Can you pat my back? No. Can
26
00:01:04.280 --> 00:01:05.319
you do that for me?
27
00:01:06.079 --> 00:01:08.939
Listen, all I knew is that if the Celtics took
28
00:01:08.980 --> 00:01:12.090
care of business against the Knicks, which was the very difficult... uh,
29
00:01:12.170 --> 00:01:14.370
opponent out of those three games, they were going to
30
00:01:14.409 --> 00:01:15.950
have a chance. And then sure enough, they take care
31
00:01:15.969 --> 00:01:18.609
of business. Obviously Tuesday night, it was a close one.
32
00:01:18.650 --> 00:01:20.030
We're going to get into that in a second, but
33
00:01:20.310 --> 00:01:22.290
they pulled it out. Now they're three and one and
34
00:01:22.329 --> 00:01:24.500
everything's looking fine and dandy in Celtics nation.
35
00:01:24.560 --> 00:01:24.719
Yeah.
36
00:01:24.799 --> 00:01:26.799
As you said, a big part of that was Tuesday night.
37
00:01:26.840 --> 00:01:30.079
Let's look at overtime against the nets. The moment that
38
00:01:30.099 --> 00:01:34.260
we saw from Jason Tatum. Oh my gosh, just seconds
39
00:01:34.400 --> 00:01:38.519
left in overtime and he hits a buzzer beater. But guys,
40
00:01:39.159 --> 00:01:42.359
We should be used to this. Because take a look at,
41
00:01:42.480 --> 00:01:44.519
first take a look at that celebration. I

mean, the
42
00:01:44.579 --> 00:01:46.280
vibes on this team are just immaculate.
43
00:01:46.439 --> 00:01:48.400
I could watch this over and over, Meg. Let's just
44
00:01:48.480 --> 00:01:49.409
roll it over and over.
45
00:01:49.420 --> 00:01:50.629
It truly is art.
46
00:01:50.689 --> 00:01:52.269
But can we take a look at some of the
47
00:01:52.329 --> 00:01:56.689
stats of Jason Tatum in the clutch? compared to some
48
00:01:56.730 --> 00:01:59.010
of the greats, truly, that have come through the league.
49
00:01:59.090 --> 00:02:00.069
I mean, this is insane.
50
00:02:00.269 --> 00:02:04.060
Because the whole conversation around Jason Tatum in the past is, oh,
51
00:02:04.099 --> 00:02:05.060
he's knackless, he.
52
00:02:04.980 --> 00:02:06.040
Takes too many threes.
53
00:02:06.819 --> 00:02:10.500
Look at these numbers. The proof is in the pudding, okay?
54
00:02:10.780 --> 00:02:13.120
He is at the very top. And look at those
55
00:02:13.189 --> 00:02:16.150
other names on there. You've got Dirk, you've got Duncan, Kyrie.
56
00:02:16.189 --> 00:02:16.870
These are all guys.
57
00:02:16.949 --> 00:02:19.250
And Rudy Gay, obviously, he's in there. He's not regarded
58
00:02:19.289 --> 00:02:21.150
as one of the best of all time. But those
59
00:02:21.210 --> 00:02:26.180
other guys are. Jason is number one. There is no
60
00:02:26.780 --> 00:02:29.159
arguing that. And what I loved about that play in
61
00:02:29.199 --> 00:02:32.599
particular is he capitalized on the aggression that he played
62
00:02:32.639 --> 00:02:36.020
the entire game with. 22 free throws, a new career high,
63
00:02:36.020 --> 00:02:39.819
22 free throw attempts. And what did he do immediately
64
00:02:39.870 --> 00:02:42.169
when he caught the ball? Turned over his left shoulder
65
00:02:42.229 --> 00:02:44.650
and started to drive with his left hand. That put
66
00:02:44.689 --> 00:02:46.909
the whole defense on its heels. And that's how he
67
00:02:46.949 --> 00:02:48.530
got the wide open shot. And I also have to
68
00:02:48.590 --> 00:02:52.300
say this. I was in the building for that. My
69
00:02:52.400 --> 00:02:55.099
body was covered in goosebumps after he made that shot.
70
00:02:55.379 --> 00:02:56.039
I'm dead serious.
71
00:02:56.060 --> 00:02:58.759
Like, it was just one of those magical moments that
72
00:02:58.900 --> 00:03:00.340
I just had to sit back and be like, I
73
00:03:00.379 --> 00:03:02.740
am so lucky to be able to witness this greatness.
74
00:03:03.360 --> 00:03:06.680
And clearly, we've witnessed it a lot, given those percentages.
75
00:03:06.699 --> 00:03:09.419
Yeah, second night on a back-to-back, by the way. 40-burger
76
00:03:09.460 --> 00:03:13.039
from Jason Tatum. Again, we are just not that far
77
00:03:13.120 --> 00:03:15.849
removed from him being out for so much of.
78
00:03:15.810 --> 00:03:16.650
The season with the Achilles.
79
00:03:16.889 --> 00:03:19.250
I also would like to know quickly, what a play
80
00:03:19.409 --> 00:03:21.370
earlier from Derek White.
81
00:03:21.860 --> 00:03:24.520
With the go-ahead and one dunk.
82
00:03:24.560 --> 00:03:25.389
You needed it.
83
00:03:25.580 --> 00:03:27.500
You needed it. It all went together. It was a
84
00:03:27.539 --> 00:03:28.340
super fun night.
85
00:03:28.439 --> 00:03:31.180
They left the door open, and Jason just like, boom,
86
00:03:31.539 --> 00:03:33.280
kicked that thing wide open at the end.
87
00:03:33.979 --> 00:03:35.319
I think I just pulled a hamster.
88
00:03:35.340 --> 00:03:37.740
Yeah, careful there. We have a lot more basketball coming up.
89
00:03:37.750 --> 00:03:39.270
We have a very busy slate that we're going to
90
00:03:39.289 --> 00:03:41.650
get into later in the show. But first, let's get
91
00:03:41.710 --> 00:03:45.110
into the NBA Cup, guys, because it's coming. NBA Cup
92
00:03:45.150 --> 00:03:49.129
play starts tonight against the Bulls. At practice yesterday, Sam
93
00:03:49.169 --> 00:03:53.110
Houser talked about his experiences in the NBA Cup so far.
94
00:03:53.870 --> 00:03:55.090
I think it's great.
95
00:03:55.449 --> 00:03:57.990
You kind of get like a sort of a playoff
96
00:03:58.050 --> 00:04:00.060
feel in the middle of the season, or I guess
97
00:04:00.090 --> 00:04:02.479
at the start of the season. So when you saw
98
00:04:02.520 --> 00:04:04.500
last year, the Knicks and the Spurs played the NBA
99
00:04:04.539 --> 00:04:08.080
Cup championship and those two men the final. So obviously
100
00:04:08.099 --> 00:04:12.360
it means something. And we got to be better with
101
00:04:12.379 --> 00:04:15.879
getting into the bracket rounds and then advancing them.
102
00:04:16.689 --> 00:04:19.300
You saw it right there. Like he said it right
103
00:04:19.319 --> 00:04:21.259
at the end. We got to get into the knockout rounds.
104
00:04:21.300 --> 00:04:23.899
The Celtics have never gotten to either the semifinals or
105
00:04:23.939 --> 00:04:25.439
the finals in this tournament.
106
00:04:25.459 --> 00:04:27.189
This is year four. That's what they want to do.
107
00:04:27.230 --> 00:04:30.350
They position themselves well to get out of the group stage,
108
00:04:30.389 --> 00:04:31.680
which we'll talk about here in a second.
109
00:04:31.709 --> 00:04:31.829
But.
110
00:04:32.350 --> 00:04:34.850
They've got to make an advancement into the knockout stage.
111
00:04:34.889 --> 00:04:35.829
That's what we all want to see.
112
00:04:35.870 --> 00:04:38.089
We want to see them play one game elimination games.
113
00:04:38.110 --> 00:04:40.850
We've seen it one time only in their history of
114
00:04:40.889 --> 00:04:43.089
playing in this tournament. I want to see them make
115
00:04:43.110 --> 00:04:44.699
a run this year, and it sounds like Sam Houser
116
00:04:44.720 --> 00:04:45.220
wants the same.
117
00:04:45.339 --> 00:04:47.399
It's kind of crazy to me that it's been so
118
00:04:47.439 --> 00:04:50.139
many seasons of the NBA Cup, and of course
it's
119
00:04:50.649 --> 00:04:53.120
been altered here and there, but the group that they're
120
00:04:53.199 --> 00:04:55.459
in is Group C and the Bulls are going to
121
00:04:55.500 --> 00:04:58.360
be the first team that they see in that group.
122
00:04:58.420 --> 00:05:00.720
What else can we expect in terms of the competition there?
123
00:05:00.800 --> 00:05:03.470
Well, this competition is going to be stacked. And if
124
00:05:03.500 --> 00:05:05.689
you look at this list of the players or the
125
00:05:05.730 --> 00:05:09.629
teams that the Celtics are playing against, in this group stage.
126
00:05:10.050 --> 00:05:12.620
Every team in this group, I think, is going to
127
00:05:12.680 --> 00:05:14.879
be in the NBA playoffs except.
128
00:05:14.600 --> 00:05:15.959
For the Chicago Bulls.
129
00:05:16.000 --> 00:05:19.519
Look, the Atlanta Hawks, the Celtics, obviously, the Washington Wizards,
130
00:05:19.560 --> 00:05:23.180
the Charlotte Hornets, these are all loaded, talented teams. I
131
00:05:23.199 --> 00:05:24.779
think the Celtics are really going to have a high
132
00:05:24.819 --> 00:05:27.500
level of competition just to get out of this group
133
00:05:27.850 --> 00:05:30.230
in the NBA Cup. People might be down on the Wizards.
134
00:05:30.310 --> 00:05:32.069
I'm high on the Wizards. I think they're going to
135
00:05:32.089 --> 00:05:34.110
be really good this year. So This is a tough
136
00:05:34.149 --> 00:05:36.430
group from top to bottom with the exception of Chicago.
137
00:05:36.470 --> 00:05:39.279
Like they're having a tough year so far. But I
138
00:05:39.339 --> 00:05:41.100
do think the Celtics, it's going to be tough sledding
139
00:05:41.120 --> 00:05:43.240
to get out of this group. Every team is good.
140
00:05:43.439 --> 00:05:46.269
To the point that Hauser made there about the final
141
00:05:46.290 --> 00:05:49.480
two teams in the cup last year. it does teach
142
00:05:49.519 --> 00:05:51.519
you something situationally as well.
143
00:05:51.600 --> 00:05:52.100
There's no question.
144
00:05:52.160 --> 00:05:53.699
I do think to these guys, I know it's not
145
00:05:53.740 --> 00:05:56.220
the same as a banner that you raise for an
146
00:05:56.339 --> 00:05:57.420
NBA championship.
147
00:05:57.459 --> 00:05:59.220
There will be none of these banners in TD Party.
148
00:05:59.240 --> 00:06:01.500
The stakes do feel higher for those guys.
149
00:06:01.579 --> 00:06:02.060
It matters.
150
00:06:02.379 --> 00:06:02.779
It matters.
151
00:06:02.839 --> 00:06:04.980
And you could see it last year when the Knicks
152
00:06:05.019 --> 00:06:05.319
won it.
153
00:06:05.439 --> 00:06:08.319
I can't even remember who won it last year.
154
00:06:08.360 --> 00:06:08.639
Last year.
155
00:06:09.470 --> 00:06:12.360
It mattered to them, and it gave them a little
156
00:06:12.379 --> 00:06:14.199
bit of extra juice going through the rest of the
157
00:06:14.220 --> 00:06:16.879
regular season to get them to the
NBA Finals when
158
00:06:16.899 --> 00:06:17.439
they met again.
159
00:06:17.800 --> 00:06:20.399
Okay, guys, we have a new segment that we are
160
00:06:20.439 --> 00:06:21.459
premiering this week.
161
00:06:21.980 --> 00:06:26.189
It's called This Day in Celtics History. Let's take a look.
162
00:06:26.250 --> 00:06:27.709
This Day.
163
00:06:29.110 --> 00:06:39.389
In Celtics History.
164
00:06:41.079 --> 00:06:44.230
We are so fancy on Celtics Weekly with our intros.
165
00:06:44.529 --> 00:06:46.250
Yes, on this day in Celtics.
166
00:06:45.889 --> 00:06:49.410
History, Brad Stevens coached his first game.
167
00:06:49.430 --> 00:06:51.800
It was in Toronto. It was a loss.
168
00:06:52.579 --> 00:06:55.319
But that was 13 years ago, and Brad looks the same,
169
00:06:55.360 --> 00:06:58.819
which is truly, even though he has an over 79%
170
00:06:58.819 --> 00:07:01.879
win percentage as Celtics head coach and one of the
171
00:07:01.939 --> 00:07:04.899
longest-tenured head coaches, that's the most impressive thing to me.
172
00:07:05.519 --> 00:07:06.019
It's funny.
173
00:07:06.040 --> 00:07:08.120
We didn't talk about this. I had the same thing
174
00:07:08.160 --> 00:07:10.660
written down on my notes. The guy hasn't aged. But
175
00:07:10.699 --> 00:07:13.899
think about what Danny Ainge and Witt Grosbeck did for
176
00:07:13.920 --> 00:07:17.220
the Boston Celtics by hiring that guy. Not only did
177
00:07:17.259 --> 00:07:19.300
they get a great coach that led them to, I
178
00:07:19.319 --> 00:07:23.259
believe it was three– conference finals during his tenure, but
179
00:07:23.300 --> 00:07:25.519
they also get the guy who then got elevated to
180
00:07:25.560 --> 00:07:29.329
president and has been a home run hitter since he
181
00:07:29.370 --> 00:07:32.269
got into that role. So you get two different levels
182
00:07:32.310 --> 00:07:35.029
or two different types of greatness in one single hire.
183
00:07:35.089 --> 00:07:37.769
So just a great job by Danny Ainge to be
184
00:07:37.810 --> 00:07:39.790
able to, there's the kind of the list of things
185
00:07:39.810 --> 00:07:42.240
that he has done Since he arrived in Boston, it's
186
00:07:42.279 --> 00:07:44.519
a long list. Take a second to read it all.
187
00:07:44.540 --> 00:07:47.040
But you've got to give credit to Danny Ainge for
188
00:07:47.139 --> 00:07:48.339
targeting him when.
189
00:07:48.259 --> 00:07:50.699
He was at Butler and for Witt Grosbeck and the rest.
190
00:07:50.560 --> 00:07:52.490
Of the ownership team for getting out there and being like,
191
00:07:52.769 --> 00:07:53.730
you are our guy.
192
00:07:54.029 --> 00:07:54.970
We want you here.
193
00:07:55.449 --> 00:07:57.709
And credit to Brad Stevens and his wife, Tracy, for
194
00:07:57.750 --> 00:07:58.399
agreeing to do it.
195
00:07:58.629 --> 00:07:59.670
It's been greatness ever since.
196
00:07:59.769 --> 00:08:01.189
It's really only been success.
197
00:08:01.569 --> 00:08:02.149
Yes. Yeah.
198
00:08:02.329 --> 00:08:05.399
And we're going to talk more success after the break because.
199
00:08:05.839 --> 00:08:08.120
What do we have? We have Plays of the Week.
200
00:08:08.160 --> 00:08:10.939
What a week it was, as originally predicted by Mark D'Amico.
201
00:08:11.379 --> 00:08:13.699
And we're going to take a look at the foes,
202
00:08:13.899 --> 00:08:15.579
the future foe cast. We've got a full slate of
203
00:08:15.600 --> 00:08:16.550
games right after this.
204
00:08:17.290 --> 00:08:19.209
It's another one of those Xfinity security things.
205
00:08:19.230 --> 00:08:20.670
It's called Xfinity Shield.
206
00:08:20.689 --> 00:08:23.810
It's like an invisible dome protecting the house. Bummer.
207
00:08:23.949 --> 00:08:26.569
What if your Wi-Fi could detect threats of any kind?
208
00:08:26.829 --> 00:08:30.870
Introducing Xfinity Shield, a force field for your home and devices.
209
00:08:31.850 --> 00:08:32.289
Welcome back.
210
00:08:32.309 --> 00:08:34.590
Thanks for sticking with us, guys. We have an incredible
211
00:08:34.710 --> 00:08:37.769
piece of news to share with you. Boston Celtics ownership,
212
00:08:37.889 --> 00:08:41.500
in conjunction with the Celtics Shamrock Foundation, has made a
213
00:08:41.519 --> 00:08:47.320
donation to Boston Children's Hospital of over.
214
00:08:45.600 --> 00:08:49.019
$ 200 million. What is this gift going to provide?
215
00:08:49.360 --> 00:08:52.600
Well, it's going to support pediatric mental health research, advanced
216
00:08:52.659 --> 00:08:57.080
training for nurses, and so much more. In addition to that,
217
00:08:57.139 --> 00:08:59.960
more than 100 patients will be in the stands tonight.
218
00:09:00.080 --> 00:09:03.019
And we're told, Mark, that there's quite a surprise in
219
00:09:03.039 --> 00:09:03.480
store for them.
220
00:09:03.679 --> 00:09:05.600
Yeah, now we're not going to ruin the surprise, but
221
00:09:05.840 --> 00:09:07.620
there were also some patients that were out at the
222
00:09:07.659 --> 00:09:09.000
practice facility yesterday.
223
00:09:09.019 --> 00:09:10.399
It was just like.
224
00:09:10.279 --> 00:09:14.049
Seeing the smiles on these kids' faces is number one, amazing.
225
00:09:14.090 --> 00:09:16.690
And what's also amazing is that this ownership group is
226
00:09:16.730 --> 00:09:19.889
taking it upon themselves to really advance that, which the
227
00:09:19.929 --> 00:09:22.889
Boston Children's Hospital is amazing. My kids have been there before.
228
00:09:22.929 --> 00:09:26.309
Like the place is amazing. But this donation is huge.
229
00:09:26.370 --> 00:09:29.070
Like this is going to move that building and their
230
00:09:29.169 --> 00:09:32.070
operation forward. There's no question about that. And Meg, this
231
00:09:32.149 --> 00:09:36.690
is the single largest gift that has ever been given.
232
00:09:36.490 --> 00:09:38.529
To Boston Children's Hospital. Think about that.
233
00:09:38.620 --> 00:09:42.379
The
single largest gift ever given to Boston Children's Hospital.
234
00:09:42.419 --> 00:09:45.480
That just came from the Celtics Ownership Group in conjunction
235
00:09:45.500 --> 00:09:48.740
with the Boston Celtics Shamrock Foundation. Just amazing work done.
236
00:09:49.379 --> 00:09:51.159
I and the rest of the organization could not be
237
00:09:51.200 --> 00:09:56.389
prouder of what this ownership group is pushing to do.
238
00:09:56.590 --> 00:09:57.470
As everyone should be.
239
00:09:57.549 --> 00:10:02.559
Everybody knows that Boston Children's Hospital is a world-class destination
240
00:10:02.639 --> 00:10:06.600
taking care of the little ones, and it's just an
241
00:10:06.659 --> 00:10:08.950
incredible piece of news that we get to share with you.
242
00:10:09.289 --> 00:10:10.289
You have something to share.
243
00:10:10.309 --> 00:10:10.980
I sure do.
244
00:10:10.990 --> 00:10:12.590
From our partners at Xfinity Mobile.
245
00:10:12.610 --> 00:10:13.409
You have a message?
246
00:10:13.730 --> 00:10:13.970
I do.
247
00:10:14.460 --> 00:10:17.820
Hey Celtics fans, lock in reliable Wi-Fi at the same
248
00:10:17.879 --> 00:10:22.240
price for five years with Xfinity. No contract drama, no
249
00:10:22.379 --> 00:10:27.210
off-season speculation. Now that's the kind of certainty everyone loves
250
00:10:27.350 --> 00:10:31.070
in a fully guaranteed deal. Just reliable internet in a
251
00:10:31.110 --> 00:10:34.809
price you can count on season after season.
252
00:10:35.250 --> 00:10:36.750
Xfinity, imagine that.
253
00:10:37.009 --> 00:10:38.519
Well, you know what you can count on?
254
00:10:39.210 --> 00:10:41.980
Week after week, maybe not every week, but most weeks,
255
00:10:42.340 --> 00:10:44.870
our Plays of the Week. Let's get into our 10
256
00:10:44.870 --> 00:10:47.429
best plays from what was a winning week with the Celtics.
257
00:10:47.450 --> 00:10:48.500
Let's start with the Knicks.
258
00:10:49.190 --> 00:10:50.070
What year is it?
259
00:10:50.309 --> 00:10:52.940
Because we just got a PG-13 tomahawk dunk.
260
00:10:53.019 --> 00:10:55.360
If Paul George isn't just dunking, he's doing it a lot.
261
00:10:55.679 --> 00:11:00.120
Oh, fast forward here to Mitchell Robinson denying Cat.
262
00:10:59.879 --> 00:11:02.019
His old teammate. I mean, honestly, he could have just
263
00:11:02.080 --> 00:11:04.000
grabbed this ball, but he had to swat it out
264
00:11:04.039 --> 00:11:05.360
of bounds because, as you said.
265
00:11:05.379 --> 00:11:06.610
That's his old teammate.
266
00:11:06.690 --> 00:11:09.230
Denied again the Knicks.
267
00:11:09.629 --> 00:11:12.409
You have PG in the corner with a buzzer beater.
268
00:11:12.490 --> 00:11:14.169
Not only does he make the shot, but how about
269
00:11:14.210 --> 00:11:17.009
the ball movement before it? Pass, pass, into the corner,
270
00:11:17.289 --> 00:11:20.000
and Paul George, a career almost 40% three-point shooter.
271
00:11:20.019 --> 00:11:20.639
I'll take
those odds.
272
00:11:20.659 --> 00:11:21.940
Looks like Hoosiers out there.
273
00:11:21.960 --> 00:11:24.159
Number seven, we go to Chicago. You got Jordan Walsh
274
00:11:24.200 --> 00:11:26.419
on the perimeter, picking it off, taking it to the
275
00:11:26.460 --> 00:11:27.659
other side, holding.
276
00:11:27.419 --> 00:11:28.899
Onto it, and a one-hand slam.
277
00:11:29.120 --> 00:11:31.629
I mean, grabbing the steal first and foremost, but then
278
00:11:31.669 --> 00:11:34.669
being able to battle through two different guys to get possession,
279
00:11:35.009 --> 00:11:38.049
then throw it down, that is the definition of an
280
00:11:38.289 --> 00:11:40.009
end-to-end play.
281
00:11:40.379 --> 00:11:42.879
Number six. Guys, we're cheating here, okay?
282
00:11:42.899 --> 00:11:46.080
Because Peyton Pritchard took over the entire third quarter against
283
00:11:46.120 --> 00:11:49.250
the Bulls. He drained three after three after three.
284
00:11:49.259 --> 00:11:50.009
This is disgusting.
285
00:11:50.029 --> 00:11:51.090
We're just showing them to you.
286
00:11:51.320 --> 00:11:51.919
That's insane.
287
00:11:52.100 --> 00:11:54.259
He made more three-pointers during the third quarter.
288
00:11:54.279 --> 00:11:54.899
That's five.
289
00:11:55.320 --> 00:11:59.090
Then Chicago's entire team made during the second half.
290
00:11:59.389 --> 00:12:01.970
Peyton Pritchard, five. Chicago Bulls, four.
291
00:12:02.169 --> 00:12:04.210
When he's playing like that, he can't be stopped. Number five,
292
00:12:04.250 --> 00:12:07.570
back to the Knicks. Tatum levitating over town.
293
00:12:08.009 --> 00:12:09.879
When you're hitting this shot on a little bit of
294
00:12:09.909 --> 00:12:13.200
a step back, side step against a seven footer, yeah,
295
00:12:13.240 --> 00:12:14.980
that's got to be in the top ten. And look
296
00:12:15.019 --> 00:12:16.960
at him just celebrating with the mean mug.
297
00:12:17.559 --> 00:12:19.340
Do you want to see another New York team?
298
00:12:19.840 --> 00:12:23.080
Well, keep an eye on Derek White because he's going inside.
299
00:12:23.120 --> 00:12:26.809
He's open. Bam! Dunked with the and one. This was
300
00:12:26.850 --> 00:12:29.909
a very important play. That's something we see a ton of.
301
00:12:29.830 --> 00:12:30.450
From Derek White.
302
00:12:30.529 --> 00:12:33.149
No, this is what everyone expected. Megan and one dunk
303
00:12:33.210 --> 00:12:35.549
from Derek White in a moment where the Celtics needed it.
304
00:12:35.610 --> 00:12:37.049
It's exactly what the Celtics drew up.
305
00:12:37.450 --> 00:12:38.820
Number three against the Knicks again.
306
00:12:39.009 --> 00:12:42.100
Alley-oop. It's a big country for D. White.
307
00:12:42.159 --> 00:12:44.480
We're getting to a point where it just seems like
308
00:12:44.519 --> 00:12:46.379
the guards and wing players are like, eh, just got
309
00:12:46.399 --> 00:12:48.620
to throw it up. Mitchell Robinson will find it. And
310
00:12:48.639 --> 00:12:49.639
he did right there.
311
00:12:49.659 --> 00:12:52.399
Number two. Let's look at the young guy, Ugo. Coming
312
00:12:52.419 --> 00:12:54.809
up from behind with the block. It's going to end
313
00:12:54.850 --> 00:12:56.470
in a very pretty way that we show you in
314
00:12:56.529 --> 00:12:57.590
a minute. But look at Ugo.
315
00:12:58.009 --> 00:12:59.830
This is what Ugo does. Hustle plays.
316
00:12:59.870 --> 00:13:01.950
He comes out of nowhere, blocks the shot, and it
317
00:13:02.009 --> 00:13:04.700
leads to a layup at the other end. Ugo Gonzalez
318
00:13:04.799 --> 00:13:06.440
doing the little things for Boston.
319
00:13:06.539 --> 00:13:08.379
Hey, hey, guys, you remember this?
320
00:13:08.700 --> 00:13:09.580
This was awesome.
321
00:13:09.820 --> 00:13:11.710
This was Jason Tatum buzzer beater.
322
00:13:11.769 --> 00:13:13.370
Final seconds of overtime against the Mets.
323
00:13:13.429 --> 00:13:16.870
Wait, Jason Tatum hits buzzer beaters for go-ahead or.
324
00:13:16.809 --> 00:13:18.649
Tying shots in the final 24 seconds?
325
00:13:18.950 --> 00:13:21.029
He's the best to ever do it in the last
326
00:13:21.129 --> 00:13:22.230
two or three decades.
327
00:13:22.590 --> 00:13:26.289
Jason Tatum, as I said, this moment gave me goosebumps.
328
00:13:26.720 --> 00:13:29.360
Everyone in that building brought the juice after that ball
329
00:13:29.440 --> 00:13:32.100
fell through the net. People were sitting in my seats
330
00:13:32.139 --> 00:13:33.580
at this game, and I was like, hey, did you
331
00:13:33.620 --> 00:13:35.840
stay till the end? They're like, you bet we stayed
332
00:13:35.899 --> 00:13:39.039
till the end. That was amazing. One moment, Meg, that
333
00:13:39.080 --> 00:13:41.440
I think could launch the Celtics into the rest of
334
00:13:41.480 --> 00:13:41.740
the season.
335
00:13:42.429 --> 00:13:44.649
All right, as promised, we are going to look at
336
00:13:44.710 --> 00:13:46.470
the big slate of opponents.
337
00:13:46.529 --> 00:13:49.009
It's a very busy week coming up, and it starts
338
00:13:49.490 --> 00:13:51.549
with NBA Cup play.
339
00:13:51.730 --> 00:13:56.509
As we previously mentioned, tonight the Celtics are taking on
340
00:13:56.549 --> 00:13:59.519
the Bulls. They won by 35 points on Monday. Mark,
341
00:13:59.559 --> 00:14:01.559
what I want to see from this matchup, I want
342
00:14:01.580 --> 00:14:02.779
to see even more of the young guys.
343
00:14:02.820 --> 00:14:06.679
I'm talking Uga. I'm talking Sherman. I'm talking Jordan Walsh.
344
00:14:06.980 --> 00:14:09.600
I want to see even more of a winning margin.
345
00:14:09.620 --> 00:14:12.379
They won by 35 points in the last matchup earlier
346
00:14:12.419 --> 00:14:15.440
this week. But listen, this is NBA Cup, okay? You
347
00:14:15.460 --> 00:14:17.860
got to win by as much as you can because
348
00:14:17.879 --> 00:14:19.799
you never know how that point margin is going to
349
00:14:19.840
--> 00:14:20.759
come into play later on.
350
00:14:20.820 --> 00:14:23.340
So great job by the Celtics on Monday. Do it
351
00:14:23.360 --> 00:14:23.879
again tonight.
352
00:14:23.899 --> 00:14:25.879
I was going to call you very greedy, but that's
353
00:14:25.960 --> 00:14:27.240
actually a great point.
354
00:14:27.279 --> 00:14:28.039
Thank you.
355
00:14:28.120 --> 00:14:30.950
Great point on the points. Let's move on to the Magic.
356
00:14:30.970 --> 00:14:33.350
You're going over there. They are starting off the year.
357
00:14:34.039 --> 00:14:35.559
With a lot of injuries.
358
00:14:35.899 --> 00:14:38.480
And this is the last time they saw us. It
359
00:14:38.500 --> 00:14:41.419
was Luka Garza winning the game with his three. Listen,
360
00:14:41.740 --> 00:14:44.480
this Magic team is still very talented. I know that
361
00:14:44.500 --> 00:14:46.820
they're not going to have Paulo this weekend. They're probably
362
00:14:46.840 --> 00:14:48.860
not going to have Jalen Suggs either. Actually, he's definitely
363
00:14:48.899 --> 00:14:51.539
out for this game. But they've got a lot of talent.
364
00:14:51.590 --> 00:14:53.409
Desmond Bain, a lot of talent on this team. The
365
00:14:53.429 --> 00:14:56.049
Celtics still got to bring it on the road. Remember,
366
00:14:56.070 --> 00:14:57.769
this is one of their first long road trips.
367
00:14:57.970 --> 00:15:00.409
Yeah. What else is on that road trip? Speaking of
368
00:15:00.490 --> 00:15:04.269
talented teams, the Rockets. And this is from last year,
369
00:15:04.320 --> 00:15:06.740
but guys, this year's Rockets team has come out of
370
00:15:06.779 --> 00:15:12.230
the gate swinging. They look like contenders. They are super legit.
371
00:15:12.500 --> 00:15:17.950
Amen Thompson is out there blocking Wemby. Yeah, KD shooting 54%.
372
00:15:17.950 --> 00:15:20.950
One of the only undefeated teams in the league heading
373
00:15:20.990 --> 00:15:24.000
into the weekend, okay? This team is living up to
374
00:15:24.019 --> 00:15:27.220
the expectations people had on it last season. Coming out
375
00:15:27.240 --> 00:15:29.080
of the gates looking like a great team. It's going
376
00:15:29.100 --> 00:15:31.059
to be a real test. Maybe the first, other than
377
00:15:31.600 --> 00:15:33.080
those first two games this season, this is going to
378
00:15:33.100 --> 00:15:35.279
be the first one. that the Celtics really got to
379
00:15:35.320 --> 00:15:36.820
bring in a championship level team.
380
00:15:36.980 --> 00:15:37.399
Finally.
381
00:15:37.639 --> 00:15:38.240
Oh, hold on.
382
00:15:38.399 --> 00:15:38.700
What?
383
00:15:38.940 --> 00:15:39.779
Tyler Hero?
384
00:15:39.860 --> 00:15:40.960
Out in Milwaukee?
385
00:15:41.019 --> 00:15:42.039
Yeah, that's right.
386
00:15:42.159 --> 00:15:42.759
That's right.
387
00:15:42.779 --> 00:15:46.399
If you forgot about all those offseason moves, this is
388
00:15:46.480 --> 00:15:48.360
a Bucs team that's going to look pretty different from
389
00:15:48.379 --> 00:15:49.919
the ones that you saw in previous years.
390
00:15:49.940 --> 00:15:51.059
What are you expecting from that matchup?
391
00:15:51.080 --> 00:15:54.070
Well, I'm expecting them to be scrappy. You know Tyler
392
00:15:54.110 --> 00:15:55.730
Hero can shoot the ball. He's done it against the
393
00:15:55.769 --> 00:15:57.970
Celtics in the past. So new look Bucs team. This
394
00:15:57.990 --> 00:15:59.669
is going to be the first time the Celtics face them.
395
00:16:00.149 --> 00:16:02.590
Bring the goods. I'm not going to predict how this goes.
396
00:16:03.360 --> 00:16:04.740
But I think the Celtics go 3-1 in.
397
00:16:04.720 --> 00:16:05.120
These four games.
398
00:16:05.179 --> 00:16:07.600
I like when Mark claps for emphasis.
399
00:16:07.779 --> 00:16:10.299
That's right. The Bravo energy.
400
00:16:10.320 --> 00:16:15.259
Next time we film, the Celtics.
401
00:16:14.220 --> 00:16:15.159
Will be 6-2.
402
00:16:15.179 --> 00:16:15.230
6-2.
403
00:16:15.240 --> 00:16:15.580
All right.
404
00:16:15.720 --> 00:16:18.200
He got it right last time. Guys, thanks for joining us.
405
00:16:18.220 --> 00:16:20.639
