The Fellas Discuss The Lakers’ Impressive Road Win In Boston + Celtics Recent Struggles | NBA on TNT

>> OCEAN’S EIGHT. EASY. AND ENTERTAINING NIGHT OF HOOPS. >> HERE ON TNT AS WE COME TO YOU LIVE FROM STUDIO J IN ATLANTA. I GOT 1248 CHUCKSTER. KENNY WUN 15′ 1248 15′ 115. >> WHAT ABOUT 105? >> 115 THERE’S NO WAY WE’LL GET THROUGH EVERYTHING. ANYWAY, I’M ERNIE, THAT’S

SHAQ, THAT’S THE JET AND THAT’S CHUCKSTER. AND HERE WE GO. WE BEGIN TONIGHT WITH THE 300TH REGULAR SEASON MEETING BETWEEN THE LAKERS AND CELTICS. BOSTON, THE ONLY TEAM WITH A WINNING RECORD ALL TIME AGAINST LA AND THE C’S, FIGURED TO ADD TO THEIR WIN TOTAL THURSDAY NIGHT. THE LAKERS WOULD TAKE

THE PARQUET WITHOUT LEBRON JAMES AND ANTHONY DAVIS FACING A BOSTON TEAM 22 AND TWO AT HOME. BUT THINGS DON’T ALWAYS HAPPEN THE WAY YOU THINK THEY’RE GOING TO HAPPEN. >> DON’T BLOW THEM OUT BY 30. >> ANTHONY DAVIS IS AN ALL STAR RESERVE. JAYLEN BROWN, AN ALL STAR RESERVE AND

BROWN HAD A TOUGH SHOOTING NIGHT. JUST FOUR OUT OF 12 FOR EIGHT POINTS. HE SCORES THEM THERE. AND THEN THE STORY OF THE NIGHT WAS THIS CAT AUSTIN REAVES FOR THREE. >> THE $3 MILLION MAN BOY BOSTON TURNED THE BALL OVER NINE TIMES IN THE FOURTH QUARTER. >> THAT’S A TOUGH SHOT.

>> THAT’S A LOT OF TURNOVER PISTOL PETE. >> THAT’S ONE OF THEIR WEAKNESSES. ERNEST SHOT SELECTION AND TURNOVERS THROUGH HOLIDAY. >> STEPPING BACK. >> HE’S A LITTLE MORE OFFENSIVELY AGGRESSIVE TONIGHT JOE. HE HAD YEAH AGGRESSIVE BUT ONLY ONLY EIGHT POINTS SEVEN REBOUNDS SEVEN ASSISTS. >> MEANTIME THE LAKERS GOT

RIGHT FIVE AND MAKE THAT EIGHT. >> GOT A NEW NAME FOR ERNIE PISTOL REEVES THE STYLE REEVES OKAY YOU LIKE THAT ONE KENNY PISTOL REEVES. >> HEY MAN I DON’T KNOW PISTOL. MAYBE A LITTLE EARLY FOR THE PISTOL. >> A LOT OF EARLY. >> I TELL YOU WHAT.

>> HEY, YOU KNOW PEOPLE AT HOME, IF YOU DISRESPECT THE OTHER TEAM, THIS IS WHAT CAN HAPPEN. EVERYBODY’S GOT GOOD PLAYERS IN THE NBA. YOU JUST CAN’T TATUM. YOU GOT TO RESPECT THE GAME. BROTHERS GOT TO RESPECT THE GAME. >> AND TATUM AGAIN, THIS TIME WITH THE STEP BACK AND

DRAINS THE THREE. THEY WERE DOWN 16. NOW THEY’RE DOWN SIX. THEY’RE RIGHT BACK IN IT. BUT WATCH REEVES COME ON NOW THAT’S JUST LUCK RIGHT THERE. >> THAT’S PISTOL PETE MARAVICH. >> MARAVICH YEAH. >> MARAVICH CHRIS STOPS. >> PORZINGIS WITH THREE OF HIS OWN. >> PLAYED A LITTLE TOO MUCH OUTSIDE TONIGHT.

>> SHAQ RUI HACHIMURA CONNECTS FROM DEEP AND THEN SWING IT TO D’ANGELO RUSSELL FOR THREE. >> THE LAKERS. 19 OUT OF 3,653% FROM DEEP IN THIS ONE. AND THEY ARE NOW 20 AND ONE WHEN THEY TAKE A LEAD TO THE FOURTH QUARTER THEY THEY WIN AT TD GARDEN. 114 TO 105

BEHIND THE 32 FROM REEVES, 16 AND TEN FROM JACKSON. HAYES 16 AND 14 ASSISTS FROM D’ANGELO RUSSELL. YOU KNOW JARED GREENBERG WAS WAS WORKING THAT GAME. LET’S HEAR FROM HIM AUSTIN WITHOUT LEBRON JAMES ANTHONY DAVIS ON THE ROAD AGAINST THE BEST TEAM IN THE NBA. >> HOW DO YOU EXPLAIN WHAT

JUST HAPPENED TONIGHT. >> IT’S JUST A LOT OF HEART. YOU KNOW WE COME TOGETHER AS A GROUP BEFORE. AND WE WAS JUST LIKE LOOK YOU KNOW OUR TWO BEST PLAYERS AREN’T PLAYING. THE LEAST WE CAN DO IS GO COMPETE. AND THAT’S WHAT WE DID. >> WHAT DO YOU TAKE FROM

THIS THAT YOU CAN APPLY MOVING FORWARD? >> JUST PLAYING THE GAME THE RIGHT WAY AND COMPETING AT 110. YOU KNOW, WE’VE PROVEN THAT WE CAN BEAT ANYBODY. WE JUST GOT TO ELIMINATE THOSE GAMES WHERE WE GO OUT AND JUST YOU KNOW, KIND OF, YOU KNOW, GO THROUGH THE

MOTIONS. WE GOT TO GO OUT THERE AND COMPETE 110% EVERY GAME. AND GOOD THINGS WILL HAPPEN. THIS IS A BAD WEEK AT WORK. >> YOU KNOW, EVERYBODY GOT A JOB. YOU KNOW, NOBODY HAS GREAT DAYS EVERY DAY. AND YOU KNOW WE’RE NO DIFFERENT. THIS IS OUR JOB. WE WOULD

LOVE TO BE PERFECT. WE WOULD LOVE TO WIN EVERY GAME. AND MAKE EVERY SHOT. BUT IT’S JUST NOT THE CASE. DO YOU ALSO CATEGORIZE IT TO THEM AS LIKE YOU SHOULD BE EMBARRASSED BY THIS? >> DO YOU HAVE THEM SIT WITH THAT? OR LIKE HOW DO YOU APPROACH TELLING ANOTHER

HUMAN THEY SHOULD BE EMBARRASSED? >> IS A VERY DISRESPECTFUL. THERE’S ACCOUNTABILITY. WE’RE NOT PLAYING WELL AND TO ME I’M NOT. YOU CAN’T RUN FROM THAT. WE SHOULD ALL KNOW THAT WE DID NOT PLAY WELL TONIGHT. YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? LIKE THAT’S A FACT. >> YOUR REACTION TO WHAT JOE

MISSOULA JUST SAID I DID. >> WELL, YOU KNOW, WE LIVE IN DIFFERENT TIMES, BUT I DISAGREE WITH THAT BECAUSE WHEN YOU’RE BUILT FOR A CHAMPIONSHIP AND YOU’RE PLAYING LIKE YOU WANT TO WIN THE CHAMPIONSHIP EVERY THING HAS TO FALL IN PLACE. ME AND CHUCK ARGUE ABOUT THIS ALL THE TIME. CAN’T TURN THAT

SWITCH ON AND IT’S BETTER TO NOT HAVE THE SWITCH DOWN TO WHERE YOU HAVE TO COME BACK UP. ALWAYS HAVE TO SWITCH UP EVERY NOW AND THEN IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES, SWITCH AND GO DOWN. YOU CAN SWITCH IT BACK UP, BUT THEY’RE SUPPOSED TO BLOW THIS TEAM OUT.

>> YOU EVER HAD A COACH TELL YOU YOU SHOULD BE EMBARRASSED ALL THE TIME? >> UH, PHIL JACKSON AND PAT RILEY AND DALE BROWN AND COACH DAVE MADER ALL THE TIME. AND, YOU KNOW, BACK IN MY ERA THAT THAT THAT WAS USED AS, YOU KNOW, MOTIVATION. YES. IT’S VERY DISRESPECTFUL AS A HUMAN.

BUT YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES, YOU KNOW, THE TRUTH HURTS. AND, YOU KNOW, I’M GOING TO JUST BLAME IT ON ONE OF THOSE GAMES. BUT CHUCK SAID IT. YOU CAN’T DISRESPECT YOUR OPPONENT. THE LAKERS LOOK REALLY GOOD BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, MOST OF THE TIME WITH LEBRON AND AD, YOU GOT TWO

GUYS HANDLING THE BALL. THE HIGHLIGHTS YOU SHOWED, EVERYBODY WAS TOUCHING THE BALL. AND WHEN YOU’RE AN NBA PLAYER AND YOU GET THE OPPORTUNITY TO TOUCH THE BALL, YOU PLAY AT A HIGH LEVEL. SO THEY CAME OUT SMOKING. BOSTON NEVER REACTED SO THEY JUST KEPT PLAYING. YOU LET A GUY LIKE

REEVES GET INTO A RHYTHM. HE CAN KILL YOU. YEAH. >> IT GOES BACK TO BACK SEASONS HIGHS. >> BUT THE CELTICS SHOULD BE CELTICS SHOULD BE EMBARRASSED. YOU SHOULD NEVER LOSE TO THIS TEAM WITHOUT LEBRON AND A.D. YEAH. SO MAYBE IT’S SOMETHING YOU DON’T NEED TO SAY. >> BUT THAT’S SOMETHING YOU

SAY FEEL. >> NO NO YOU NEED TO SAY IT, ERNIE. YOU HAVE TO YOU HAVE TO. I TOLD YOU, I’M REALLY CONCERNED ABOUT THE CELTICS. NOT JUST TONIGHT. THIS IS THREE GAMES IN A ROW. THEY WERE 20 AND ZERO AT HOME. THEY’VE LOST THREE IN A ROW AT HOME.

>> NO, BUT THEY’RE 22 AND TWO. >> WELL THEY’VE LOST. THEY’VE LOST THREE GAMES IN A ROW. >> THREE OUT OF FIVE. >> THREE OUT OF FIVE TO THE BEST TEAM THIS TEAM IS NOT A GOOD ONE. BUT THE TEAMS THAT THEY’RE GOING TO PLAY IF THEY GET TO THE FINALS, IN

MY OPINION YOU HAVE TO BE READY FOR THOSE GAMES LIKE SHAQ AND KENNY. NO, THIS IS EVERY GAME IS NOT THE SAME GAME. YOU’RE LIKE, OH, THE DENVER NUGGETS ARE COMING TO TOWN. WE NEED TO SEND THEM A MESSAGE. DENVER CAME IN THERE AND BEAT HIM. THEN THE CLIPPERS CAME IN THERE AND

BEAT THEM. THE TWO TEAMS IN THE WEST LIKE WE HAVE TO PLAY IN THE FINALS. IT TELLS ME THAT THEY JUST PLAYING ON TALENT. THEY’RE NOT MENTALLY TOUGH ENOUGH. LIKE NO MAN THIS IS A BIG GAME. WE NEED TO BE READY ANY TIME. I PLAYED AGAINST MIKE, MAGIC, BIRD, KARL MALONE, PATRICK

EWING, IT WAS A DIFFERENT GAME BECAUSE IT’S YOU CALL IT EGO, WHATEVER YOU WANT TO CALL IT. BUT WHEN YOU’RE ON A GOOD TEAM AND YOU’RE LIKE, OKAY, WE MIGHT PLAY THESE GUYS, YOU GOT TO GET READY MENTALLY. AND TO ME, THE CELTICS ARE WINNING GAME ON TALENT. YOU KNOW WHAT THEY

REMIND ME OF MY PHILADELPHIA EAGLES. MM. LIKE THERE’S ACTUALLY SOME JUST HAVE AN NBA. EVEN THOUGH MILWAUKEE HAD THAT SECOND BEST RECORD. THEY SAID WE’RE NOT GOING TO WIN THE CHAMPIONSHIP. WE GOT TO MAKE A CHANGE FOR THE CELTICS. TO ME THEY GOT A REALLY GOOD RECORD. BUT

THEY’RE NOT GOING TO WIN THE CHAMPIONSHIP. >> OOH LET ME LET ME ASK YOU THIS. AND I’LL NEED CAMERA ONE HERE BECAUSE THIS IS ON DECEMBER FOURTH. WHAT YOU SAID AND WHAT AND WHAT WE WROTE DOWN. YOU WERE CONVINCED THE CELTICS WILL WIN THE CHAMPIONSHIP. YOU SAID THAT IN DECEMBER. AND I

KNOW EARLIER TONIGHT YOU SAID TATUM AND BROWN ARE GREAT, BUT THEY’RE TOO NICE. THEY WERE NICE GUYS WHEN YOU SAID THIS. YEAH BUT THEY AND THEY’RE STILL NICE GUYS. YEAH, BUT NOW WHY CAN’T THEY WIN? >> BECAUSE IF YOU GO, IF YOU ASK TO GO BACK AND LOOK, THEY SHOWED A STAT. THEY’RE

ALWAYS BEHIND. THEY’RE ALWAYS BEHIND. BUT YOU’RE SAYING NOW THEY’RE NOT GOING TO WIN THE CHAMPIONSHIP. I DON’T THINK THEY ERNIE I DON’T LIKE WHAT I’M SEEING. ALL RIGHT. I STILL THINK FIRST OF ALL, THERE’S NO TEAM IN THE NBA THAT’S BETTER THAN THE CELTICS. BUT YOU HAVE TO BE MENTALLY

TOUGH BECAUSE YOU LIKE YOU CAN’T TURN IT ON AND OFF. YOU BECAUSE YOU DEVELOP TOO MANY BAD HABITS. THEY’LL DEVELOP IN BAD HABITS. >> YOU HAVE BEEN PATIENTLY WAITING. OH YEAH. >> YOU KNOW, THIS SHOW HALL OF FAME, WHEREAS THESE ARE GUYS WHO’VE DONE IT AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL. THEY’VE LED

TEAMS NOT JUST BEEN PART OF TEAMS. SO I’M LISTENING. BUT THERE IS A PART OF ME THAT UNDERSTANDS THERE IS A LEVEL OF MENTAL EXHAUSTION, JUST LIKE HIS MENTAL FORTITUDE. SO THERE IS MENTAL EXHAUSTION. WHEN YOU DO HAVE THE BEST RECORD, WHICH THEY DO IN THE NBA, THERE’S NO

OTHER TEAM IN THE NBA HAS A BETTER RECORD THAN THE BOSTON CELTICS. AT TIMES. THERE WILL BE A PORTION OF THAT SEASON WHERE YOU HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF MENTAL EXHAUSTION. >> NOW, A LOT OF TIMES THAT HAPPENS TWO WEEKS BEFORE THE ALL STAR GAME 100. >> THERE YOU GO. IT HAPPENED

. BUT HOW IT STOPS. THIS IS A GAME LIKE THIS. IT’S THE WAKE UP. IT’S LIKE, YO, WAIT WAIT WAIT, WE’VE HIT THE LOW. WE’VE GOT TO LIKE WE’VE HIT IT. WE CAN’T TALK ABOUT MENTAL EXHAUSTION ANYMORE. WE’VE GOT TO TURN IT ON AND KEEP IT ON NOW. >> WELL, WHAT ABOUT BIG

GAMES, KENNY? >> BECAUSE BIG GAMES. YOU THINK ABOUT IT. THE GAME SOMETIME EVEN THOUGH THE THIS IS JUST MY OPINION EVEN THOUGH THE DENVER NUGGETS ARE THE NBA CHAMPIONS, THE BOSTON CELTICS IS A MORE FAIR, STORIED FRANCHISE. SO MEANING IT’S A BIGGER GAME SOMETIME FOR YOUR OPPONENT. SO THEY PLAY WELL. THEY’RE

COMING IN GOING WITH THE SAME MENTALITY. NO NO. >> SHAQ NUGGET CHECK WHY YOU THINK DENVER IS GOING IN THERE SAYING NO WE GOT TO GO BEAT THEM. >> NO. >> GO AHEAD CHECK. >> BECAUSE ONE THEY ARE THE FORMER CHAMPS. AND THE JOKE AIN’T NO CHUMP JOKE IS A

GREAT PLAYER. SO WHEN GREAT PLAYERS GOING AGAINST GREAT PLAYER LIKE CHUCK SAID. >> SO IT’S NOT A SHAME TO LOSE TO THEM. IT’S NOT EMBARRASSING TO LOSE TO THEM. >> BUT YOU’RE NOT SUPPOSED TO LOSE IF YOU HAVE THAT CHAMPIONSHIP MENTALITY. I DON’T CARE WHO’S COMING OUT. YOU GOT TO BEAT THEM AND

PLAY WELL. YOU KNOW THEY LOST CONVINCINGLY, LOST. BUT BUT YOU LOSE A GAME READY. >> OH I JUST FEEL I JUST MEAN I JUST FEEL THAT AT CERTAIN POINTS WHAT SHOWS ME IF YOU’RE A CHAMPION IS WHEN YOU TURN THE VOLUME OFF AND LIKE, NAH, WE’RE GOING TO KILL THIS NOISE NOW. AND

THIS IS A NOISE KILLING GAME. THAT’S WHAT THAT I WOULD SAY. THIS IS THE NOISE. NOW WE SEE WHERE THEY GO FROM HERE. >> YEAH, KUDOS TO THE LAKERS ON THIS ONE. 114 105 WINNERS OVER THE BOSTON CELTICS AS THEY SNAP THEIR TWO GAME LOSING STREAK. AND THE CELTICS HAVE THEIR TWO GAME

WINNING STREAK SNAPPED UP LOOKING LIKE A DIXIE CUP, LOOKING LIKE A DIXIE CUP THAT’S ACTUALLY KIND OF FLY. >> THAT’S YOUR MAMA. >> SHE WANTS SOME WATER. OH YEAH. >> THAT’S WHAT BACK ON THE MAMA JOKES. >> BACK ON THE MAMA. >> LET’S GO. >> WE BACK ON THE MAMA

JOKES. YOU COME AT US, WE
