Stephen A. Smith SHOCKED on Celtics def. Warriors 140-88: Steph Curry should go home

He gets set for the Cavaliers taking on Stephen A’s New York Knicks welcome inside our Los Angeles studi Stephen A Smith Kendrick Perkins Bob Meyers I’m Malik Andrews the Celtics they absolutely thwart the Golden State Warriors they become the first team to win by 50 uh at least three games in a

Season ever in NBA history they now have a nine game lead Stephen A Smith on that one seed in the Eastern conferences let’s take a look at the standings because we are leading into the Knicks and the Cavaliers here if we could those up please producer Tony um the Celtics

It feels like I wanted to start by asking Stephen if anybody could come close to holding a candle to them in this Eastern Conference but after what we just saw I’m not so sure I’m sure I think that people can be competitive with them I think they can make it

Interesting I mean this is an aberration I will repeat to America there have been plenty of 50o losses and worse in NBA history it is rare that we see a a team down damn near 50 points in the first half that is what happened today that was the kind of annihilation that we

Witnessed that is an aberration don’t expect that in the future in a lot of situations the Celtics have everything they’ve got perimeter shooting they’ve got athleticism they’ve got Superstars they Play Def Elite defensively they have all the pieces in place and what a performance like today proved is that

There is absolutely positively no excuse for them not to win the championship that’s what this comes down to which is what perk and Bob Myers are to early in the day there are no excuses but there is a Denver there is a Milwaukee there are the Clippers and others that could

Potentially have something to say about it but to me what Boston did today was solidify why some people like myself had them for the favorit since they wanted this you did you had them favor yes I did it’s it’s night and day when it comes down to the Celtics and the rest

Of the Eastern Conference right and they’re doing a great thing right now you know what they’re great thing is they’re establishing identity at the crib and throughout the home court so many times we take that for granted having home court advantage throughout the postseason the Celtics are like you

Know what if you come into this place prepare to get a spanking and what they did was they continue to send these messages out to the world that every time you come into the city of Boston prepare to get beat by double figures every time I look at the at the box I

Mean at the lines every time I’m looking at it the favorites of wi the Cel are favored to win by double figures and it’s it’s not by mistake because they are establishing that identity at the crib yeah they they made that Holiday trade um I really think that I thought

That was a bigger deal than maybe maybe you guys did but I I thought that was a huge huge decision huge move by Brad Stevens to get him because I thought he was kind of the final piece the champion that been there before maybe a leader in

Some respects to show these young guys how to get over that finish line but they they have been separating themselves from the league not just the Eastern Conference Malika but the whole league they’re continuing to separate themselves I think in a series sure Milwaukee they haven’t shown enough yet

To make me worried if I was a Celtics fan but but this Celtics team I’m not sure what they don’t have and and by the way don’t underestimate they’ve been there before first time you go to the finals you you know this first time you

Go to the finals there’s this oh my gosh this is a big deal they’ve already been through that so they got no excuses like Stephen A said no excuses they are clearly rolling through the regular season but this is a team that is measured in the play birthday of course

De in attendance your wonderful mom Brandy in attendance is this the best birthday ever uh it’s up there it’s a great birthday got to do it I love um front of the best fans in the world get a win and uh you know enjoy the rest of

The day with my family well happy birthday and thanks for taking the time Jason Stephen A Smith Kendrick Perkins Bob Myers I’m Malika Andrews gentlemen this is a good old-fashioned spanking the Boston Celtics up 44 at the half this is the largest halftime lead the Celtics have ever held in franchise history it’s also the largest deficit at the half under Steve Kerr and the

Warriors fewest points in any half this season Bob Myers is like pretending to write notes over I have stuff to say he he is he is giving his time to use Stephen A no I’m not I’m just giving him first crack what an epic butt whipping

That’s right I’m right here not Bob this me wow this there’s language that I can’t repeat cuz we on network television I won’t do that this this is an epic butt weapon this is so bad Kendrick Perkins needs to take off that suit this is so bad that Bob Meers who’s

Going to be calling the Warriors game this Wednesday when Golden State plays shouldn’t even go back they should postpone the game and give the Warriors about a week to recover I ain’t never seen anything like this this ain’t the end of the game this is halftime the

Golden State Warriors we nearly down by 50 at halftime Jason Tatum’s doing his thing Jayla Brown is doing his thing pricky sitting up there with scoop shots going to kaminga don’t know what the hell he’s throwing up draymond’s trying it doesn’t matter Steph Curry looks like first time I’ve seen just stephh Curry

Don’t even look like he belongs out there this I none of us saw this coming we want to apologize to the American people you understand for what we just saw in this first half we ain’t seen that that that could have happened to me it might as well be me out the Olympic

Playing against against against Boston that’s how bad Golden State that would be worse that would that would be worse I’m not sure I’m just not sure I know that I’m just not sure you out there be worse SC busting my butt with a messed up ankle and everything I can’t possibly

Look worse than that I mean Lord listen listen Okay goad try no I’m not listen try to explain this okay Jaylen Brown said something interesting in the half time he said they beat us here on our home floor that tells me this game meant something a little bit more y Boston by

The way it should when a team comes back that beats you in the finals on your home floor Celtics should be up for this this means more to them the Warriors they already beat him on their home floor got the championship so Celtics need this more than Warriors it is a big

Statement Curry was questionable coming in he’s not himself right now it’s one game it happens I’m not making some big Proclamation I know you’re a Celtics uh you apologist all the time but this is just one game apologist I’m not worried about it you’re a former Celtics former

Former Celtic great no I just I just call it like it is and and what’s happening is they getting a spanking and this is what you want from the Celtics right a team that’s on the mission a team with championship aspirations a team that’s missing chrisal Pingas a guy

That is averaging 20 for them and they going out here and they making a statement on National Television can we take those Graphics down I don’t want to see that stuff I don’t to see these gra I to see and so what I’m looking at is I’m

Looking at jayen Brown who started off hot and then I was waiting on Jason Tatum to turn it up and damn it he did the Celtic team is legit tell and they’re handling leg let you finish can I just say one thing go ahead Brad Stevens is Jo he’s done a tremendous job

He has done a tremendous job know you talking why can’t I say that ladies and gentlemen we know that Brad Stevens has been excellent has been excellent we’re not going to let Bob Myers off the hook who was just starting out the segment like this because he knows this isn’t a

Lost by 50 nearly down 50 at half I do want to check in on the timber we were watching that I didn’t know those are play the timber wolves because they’re young they’re inexperience they make mental errors at times this was one of them you got to know to take the three

In that situation well they called the time out so the coaches got to let them know I’m pretty sure he didn’t draw up a play where they didn’t take good the question for this Timberwolves te they’re the best defensive team I think in the NBA who’s going to score in the

Half court in a close game is and it has to be Anthony Edwards and he just didn’t do it in this game can he do it I think he’s capable he just didn’t do it today in order to have that postseason success though it has to be him all right that’s

Going to do it for us here on ABC your local new fore fore Speee Foree Speeech speech Foree Speeech foreign fore foreign foreign speech Fore for for foree For foree spee Fore fore Fore spe fore Foree spe
