Detailing Jayson Tatum’s Historic Clutch Gene & 13 Years since Brad Stevens' Debut bölümünün tam dökümü

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.

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 This has been Celtics Weekly.
