“Boston is the BEST team in the NBA” – ESPN on Celtics DOMINATE Wizard 130-104; Jayson Tatum 30 Pts

In just 23 minutes for Sam Hower Celtics get the win 130 to 104 Celtics postgame live Tom Gils Chris forsberg Eddie house with you and uh the Celtics really just cruising a victory obviously had that 28-point lead at the break but uh you know basically just coasting through the

Second half as well Eddie would you like most about this win here tonight well I love that Sam Hower was out there just getting money I don’t like the fact that he got injured at the end but the way he was just shooting that basketball as a

Shooter I love it I watched him in Portland and Utah it’s the same shot every time the trajectory the rotation and the fact of the matter is he had a chance to break the record that’s what I’m upset at really is that he had a chance to really break the record he had

It going guys were finding him and he was feeling himself I that that’s the biggest takeaway from this game because the Washington Wizards are who the Washington Wizards are and you know at the end of the day they they at the bottom of of the league for a reason not

A very good basketball team but we went out there took care of business and I love the fact that Sam Hower was able to go out there and and you know and let it fly it’s a total moment for Sam the one other thing I will say we’ve heard Jason

Tatum make a a whole thing about you know playing Monday nights on League Pass in Charlotte he also deserves credit for being one of the only starters out there on a Sunday night against a terrible DC team on league pass and because I love that he just

Wants to play that the team has to pretty much beg him to take days off there was a girl in the crowd they showed her early on that said I post owned my surgery to be here tonight and see Tatum like that’s why a lot of fans

Show up that’s why you hear so much green in the crowd I respect that Jason Tatum wants to be out there that he is the ultimate Hooper that he just wants to play and I I do think they will find spots for him over the finish line of

This season if nothing more than the calm everybody who fars something like what happened to Sam Hower in an injury but man give Tatum credit to go out there 18 points in the first quarter set the tone on this game not that it was really ever in question but I just

Respect that on night a lot of guys could have downshifted and decide to take the night off Tatum wanted to be out there 30 points for Jason Tatum 30 points for Sam Hower and then you had 14 a piece for three other guys including pton Pritchard who also had 13 assists

He standing by with Abby chin pton no KP no JB no D no problem what were you guys looking to work on out here tonight uh I don’t know if there was something we were trying to work on just to you know play the right type of basketball and what we’ve been

Trying to do all year obviously Sam had a unbelievable night I I truly think he probably would have broke the record tonight but uh he’ll get it another time but it was a good team win yeah what was that like being on the floor with him

How did you guys keep finding him I mean I tell people all the time in my opinion Sam is the the best shooter in the like he’s in the top shooters in the league uh so for us it’s like anytime he’s open we got to find him CU it’s almost

Automatic for sure I mean you know what that feels like you’ve been there a double double for you tonight what was your mindset coming in make make the right plays I mean you know I feel like I’m a point guard uh like my game is a point guard sometime I

Play off Ball but like when I have the ball in my hands always trying to get my guys easy shots when I can score it I’ll score it but just play efficiently and uh make the right plays you did that a career high and assist how would you

Describe that connection between you and Luke oh man that’s my dog so he’s he’s always there to like help me out if I get stuck you know just throw it by the rim he’s going to finish it so he’s took a a big step this year he’s playing

Tremendous so so has that entire reserve unit but you guys have won four straight here what do you like best about the way you’re playing uh just like we playing the right way we playing for each other you know it’s somebody’s night uh it’s a different guy’s night every night so and

That’s a beautiful basketball right there Payton congratulations appreciate it all right thanks so much Abby meanwhile take a look at some of the history of this win and some of the numbers and these numbers presented by the Massachusetts health Connector losing mass health need health insurance for any reason visit the Massachusetts

Health Connector act now and stay covered at mahealthconnector.org okay so the 30 points for Sam Hower career high uh the 10 three-pointers in 23 minutes and you heard uh of course Drew Carter mentioned this fewest minutes to make 10 threes in NBA history the 13 assists for payt Pritchard that’s

Also the most off of the bench by Celtics since 1994 the 45 points in the first quarter I me just you list them off 80 plus points Chris this one maybe is my favorite the 80 plus points in the first half the that’s the third time

That’s happened in the last month and a half it didn’t happen once for 32 years I mean you did see basketball in the ’90s for the Celtics right like I mean that is true okay that is absolutely true but the fact that it hasn’t happened since any time you know in this

In this 10e stretch here especially since 08 and so that that’s impressive all right let’s bring in uh scall and Drew right now and oh there they are my guys Drew give a nice little wave uh did you enjoy that one what we saw from the Celtics here on St

Patrick my goodness I mean everyone’s wearing green St Patrick say I went out and panic bought this thing so I could be wearing some green cuz I knew Abby chin was going to bring it didn’t realize scow wouldn’t at all um but look I mean tons of Celtics fans

In the house and they got a show today yeah I mean the way that they played with Sam Hower moving around knocking down shots like that they’re impossible to guard and it is cool when you see guys are out and other players get opportunities and they have career

Nights you just know and for me it’s always like those there’s some haters out there that don’t understand how good the Celtic bench is whether it be cornette and how much he’s improved Sam Hower pton Pritchard o o Brett I mean like across the board these guys have

Delivered all year and I just think it’s it’s really nice when they get a chance to play and they do something like what we saw today if they’re any haters out there I look at them and I say bench the Celtics can play one through 10 no

Question they got a great bench no question all right then scale who’s the who’s the guy who’s made the biggest progress like I mean Sam obviously always could knock down shots but has avoided the slumps this year you got pton being a positive every time he’s out there you got cornette looking like

A completely different player from when he first arrived here which of those bench guys is has made the biggest strides I think and this is only from my perspective I wasn’t sure about Luke cornette being a rotational player in the playoffs I’m pretty certain that he’s a rotational player in the playoffs

And if it’s not for us it’s for somebody because like cornette owns his space and that’s the most important thing can you own your space can you rebound your position can you defend your position and cornette’s doing all those things and I just feel like he’s bouncier than

He was when he started he I think he’s reading the game better I I think his improvement from what I thought he was to what he is has been the biggest jump for me I agree I just want to show some love to pton Pritcher too who goes from

Wanting out to signing a contract to becoming you know one of their better bench players and putting up his first double double of the Season today so shout out to Crypt P yeah real quick could you give me a quick smile could you smile for me real

Quick one time yeah okay yellow and blue make green yellow and blue yellow and blue make green he good right now you know hey Eddie Eddie I was really happy I was really happy I was really happy for you yesterday man seeing your son like that

Seeing you like that that was that was uh that was amazing man absolutely amazing I can only imagine what it felt like for you hey crazy I lost my voice man my voice is crazy right now but real talk it is super crazy but I’m I’m with

You on on Luke cornette like everybody was talking about our Bigs like who’s going to be that guy to step up Luke cornette can give you 12 12 to 15 playoff minutes and there’s no doubt about that that he’s be able to he’s out there and showed himself that he’s

Serviceful also pton Pritcher being able to go out there and say I could set the table for guys I don’t have to just be a scorer I could also set the table for guys so I think that this game not just this game but throughout this season we

Have showed our depth people are lacking on that because they don’t watch the Celtics night in and night out all they do is watch the highlights on the ESPN but this team is extremely deep and they’re going to have to rely on the bench players to win the

Games I couldn’t agree more and I think it I think it’s uh I think it’s really difficult for people to understand when you’re playing with six guys who are established as the Celtic guys for you to come in your role and as Eddie says I’m I’m pretty certain that Hower

Pritchard and cornette are all superstars in their role hey Giles Hey Jo real quick before we go can I do one thing you got it man we ain’t doing we ain’t doing this happy birthday we’re not doing this red velvet tomorrow Eddie tomorrow I’m going to Celtic game and I’m on
