UNDISPUTED | “Celtics are clearly the best team in league” – Paul Pierce tells Skip on Boston: 53-14

UNDISPUTED | “Celtics are clearly the best team in league” – Paul Pierce tells Skip on Boston: 53-14

You ain’t going never that now okay Paul you were just up in Boston for sun Celtics your Celtics now have by far the best record in the NBA 53 and 14 that’s n and a half games better than a bucks in the East that’s six better than the

Best team in the west right now the Thunder but are the Celtics clearly by far the best team in the NBA uh you can’t say clearly because they lost to Denver twice and Denver is the defending champs they have the best chance against Denver in a seven game series I don’t

See nobody out west beating Denver I don’t see nobody out east beating the Celtics in the seven game series record wise yes they’re the only team I think you got these teams are on the head on collision for the finals and I got the Celtics winning in seven okay so you

Don’t think Milwaukee with a healthy Giannis and Dame and Middleton and Lopez and Bobby Porter and Company I like Milwaukee a lot and they got they got the ingredients of a championship team but that’s a that’s a bad but that’s a bad matchup the Celtics are a bad match

Up for Milwaukee because when you got athletic Wings against Milwaukee they don’t have the the athletes to compete on the wing you got Middleton who’s been in and out of the lineup dealing with injuries I’m not sure he can keep up with Jaylen brown or Tatum we saw what

Jimmy Butler did to them last year and they just it’s just not a good match up Drew holiday can match up with Lillard you got white who can match up with Lillard we got two of the best defensive guards in the leag and then if we need

To put length on them you can put J Brown over this is a bad match up no I understand but what you say about the history of them shrinking when it come big time shrs I’m talk come on man who shrinks Boston Jaylen I’m talking about the team Tatum I’m just talking about

The team in general I ain’t pointing individuals they’ve been to the Conference Finals four or five times they’ve been to a finals you got to understand their Stars key they’re 26 years old yeah they’re 26 years old you know what I’m saying so they’ve been through they played like eight years you

Know like yeah but they’re going through their Growing Pains this is how the traditional NBA teams who started dynasties develop into Boston get ready to start a dynasty I think they’re on the way to a dynasty this is every Dynasty that we seen develop went through their growing planes only one

Who didn’t was San Antonio because once Duncan got there they they got Ro we seen Chicago go through their growing pains with Jordan we’ve seen Golden State take their lumps when they’re young and they got over the top if they win the championship this year the Celtics I believe they’re going to win

In the next five years three Championship so you taking Missoula over Doc is what you telling me this year we just takings over the box but I’m but you got to factor in the coaching yeah you got to factor that in you got to factor in adjustment has had

A year under his belt now and I think he’s turned into a great leader for them they respect him uh uh you see what he’s done uh throughout the course of the year now because you got to understand key you jumped right into the head

Coaching spot like out of the blue no I understand I get out of the BL you get thrown in woke up with was like Hey man take this he didn’t have no no time to implement what you like what he like you know he had to run what what the Old

Coach like so you know now that he has a training camp under his belt more familiarity with the players as a head coach not an assistant cuz there’s a different attitude toward assistant than it is ahead then you add Sam Cassel to the mix which was big I think that was

One of the not adding porzingis and Drew was was big but when you added Sam Cassel I believe he was the final piece to getting this team Paul I got one big issue with your Boston Celtics they do all time live and die by the three they

Take by far the most threes in the entire NBA they’re they’re taking 43 a game and if last night if if Sam Hower can jump into your starting lineup and make 10 out of 13 you’re going to win the championship right okay and every

Night I look up you take 50 and if you make 25 you got me but there are nights when the Two Jays when Jason jayen they they just go cold because it happens there are humans okay and it’s it’s a liver die shot and when your two biggest

Guns just go ice cold I look at the body language of your team and they’re looking around like now what do we do because that’s it that’s what you you you were a three-point J or not you know you you you better make them or because

Now you got to go through round after round of the playoffs and if you have too many of those cold nights somebody’s going to get you but see now you got guys like porzingis to take the pressure off he’s one of the best low post players in the league yeah now you got

Drew holiday Derek white to take Drew holiday listen he is the guts and conscience of your squad man CU he is a winner of the highest caliber I give you that and you got a guy in Drew who could be like hey guys let’s let’s take the

Ball to the back okay you know we’re settling for he is that guy and so I think just adding those two guys having a Sam Cassel over there to say those things too a guy who’s respected on the sideline I think that’s going to factor

Into this run to where yeah they done it during the season where there’s one or two games you say that but they not going to do that skip for like seven games they’re not going to have four games where they’re ice cold in a seven game

Series man I don’t I don’t think so yeah well at least you’re giving Denver some respect you got to respect them I mean in the Champs they beat him twice once in Boston once in dver in both games they could have went either way yeah you know

And that’s just showing me these are two championship caliber teams and and that’s that’s what the people want to see we don’t want to see the Lakers no more you going stop you know we done seeing the Lakers you going to stop though Kean five years ago the Lakers

Won’t make the playoffs if they wasn’t a play in yeah that’s a fact but if hey let’s just say the Lakers get to the finals against the Celtics all the Lakers have to do is not play LeBron and AD and you you’ll be in big trouble

Right yeah we might be in big trouble Rees Reeves Larry B re come out you quietly I think quietly you want to be a Lakers when in high school I did tell me what happen in college I did before you went to Washington before you played for the wizard you want to be

L we was like we want that PA we want wheelchair next speaking of an LA team the Clippers got blown out by the Hawks now can the Lakers avoid embarrassment against this same Atlanta Hawks team backto back no sir
