| 0:00.0 | I think that feels like a nice package there. |
| 0:03.1 | Yeah. |
| 0:03.7 | Wow. |
| 0:04.2 | Look at those phones light up. It's Elgin Maz. On the 8th, the Sports Hub. Peyton Pritchard had two pretty good looks. I mean, you don't like those at all. Not the baseline one at all. 1.6th. It has to be the ball. The ball has to go to a guy that can elevate himself out of trouble. that's nothing wrong with Pete Pritchard. |
| 0:22.7 | But like when you're six foot one, The ball has to go to a guy that can elevate himself out of trouble. |
| 0:22.3 | There's nothing wrong with Peyton Pritchard. |
| 0:28.2 | But like when you're 6'1 and you can't elevate, like Jaylen Brown can get the... Let's go back to the Indiana conference finals two years ago. |
| 0:32.7 | He had no business making that shot, but he's a freak of nature. |
| 0:36.3 | So that ball has to find him. The best players in the world get the ball with under two. And I'm all in on Peyton Pritchard. Don't get me wrong. But that ball is like a secondary piece to Pritchard. That ball has to get his Jaylon Brown's hand. Is that a factor of they just haven't been in this position where they have to, like, Anthony |
| 0:54.7 | Simons is in ball. Hasn't been here. I don't know about all that. Like, you know, it's Jaylon. Jaylon Brown has to get the ball. 1.6. They had a play. It was the slash play. Jalen Brown has to tell people, listen, I want the ball in this area right here. |
| 1:07.9 | You cut through, you go there. |
| 1:09.6 | I'm going to catch the ball right there. |
| 1:11.1 | I'm going to go to work. |
| 1:12.1 | And that's what being special is we'll get back to it i'll just go to the phones a lot of you've been waiting for a couple hours so thanks for hanging on instead of us resetting i'll just take your calls and we'll reset as we go that was scowl last night on obviously those last couple possessions last three possessions frankly where no one touched the ball other than Peyton Pritchard, there were no passes. Not no assists, no passes. And on the final two, Jalen Brown nor Derek White touched the ball. Scal says the ball has to find Jalen Brown on one of those two possessions. He goes on to put some of the blame on Jalen Brown for not working harder for the ball, |
| 1:45.6 | but he's among many who second-guess of Celtics late in that situation. |
| 1:49.3 | So there's a little reset for you. |
| 1:51.7 | How about right back to your phones, and thank you again for hanging on, Dean and Shrewsbury. |
| 1:55.1 | Go ahead. |
| 1:56.5 | How did you guys not talk about Edgecombe setting the record for a rookie's debut since 1972 for most points? |
| 2:07.4 | Like, we're really missing Drew Holiday already, and the guy, they made the guy look like the second coming of Michael Jordan. |
| 2:16.3 | Also, the Celtics have the best clutch record in the NBA last year and also over the last three years. Okay. I'm glad you brought up that last part. Their defense sucked. Part of it's on coaching. You let two guys beat you. Two guys only. You never really adjusted. One of the two, Maxie had his fifth foul with 11 minutes left in the game and you didn't file him out. That's partly on the coaching. That's definitely on the coaching. Dundaro, the stats say the Celtics are a good clutch team. Your thoughts? Numbers lie. Stats are for losers. Doesn't work that way. I don't care what they say. You have to look with your eyes. And we've seen it since 20, 23. I mean, it's just been so often, so frequent, we can call it when we see it in real time. They're not good in those spots. And it just continues to be a problem. Tatum, no Tatum, Missoula, even dating back before Missoula, but he hasn't fixed it. They're not good in those spots. |
| 3:07.9 | I don't care what the stats say. I keep getting that on Twitter. Stop sending it to me. It's a loser thing to do. They're not good. If you watch the games, we can see it unfolding. They lose only three out of four, four to five. They're going to lose that game. They're not good. They tighten up and Joe Mazzula doesn't do enough |
