Full NBA Today | Celtics top Bucks, Warriors’ “last dance” season, Harden contest Kawhi’s shot

He made a run to get back in the game he finished the mission sorry we cut you off a little bit there Kendrick you were just you were cooking it was too hot for us had to hit pause for one second because you’re right the Celtics they’re they’re dominating at a historic level

Really all of this season but that doesn’t mean there aren’t questions it feels like these are the types of games they really could stomp out any questions we have and yet they’re outscored by 15 in the fourth quarter so will the sixs carry over Austin to the

Postseason well you hope so um you know there were some with that zone last night I don’t know if peep that I did peep I did peep got a little weird out there um I surprised that I was surprised I even put that out there I

Would have I would have kept that you know in a regular season game where you don’t have Giannis it didn’t seem like that game was meaningful enough to really put that out there for me but some emotions TI today you know he back in the G that was he wanted that win he

Wanted that win for sure um yeah listen uh we talked about it yesterday there’s a gap between the two teams Boston’s a better team we talked about Boston closing better in crunch time um that’s what you want to see from Jason you want to see him be aggressive I like seeing

Him get to the free throw line and not rely on that jump shot all the time we talk about it with other players let’s talk about it with Tatum I know he’s fully capable sometimes a gift is a curse when you can shoot so well off the

Dribble you rely on it too much let’s not forget you 68 in explosive so when he gets to the basket he gets to the free throw line and he closes games him and Jaylen Brown they are that best team that we see on the regular season you

Want this to carry over in the playoffs we want to see that that matchup I would like to see this match up as at some point with the full healthy Milwaukee it was hard to take a lot out of that game without Giannis in the picture though

Yeah when we speak about Jason Tatum and we all know this as players like often times we know that great players have go-to moves y but the best players have counter moves to those moves you know what I mean and I feel like we’re waiting to find out what exactly is his

Game because he’s so good off the dribble now he’s shooting threes he’s so good at getting to the mid-range turning around it’s nice but like when the game’s on the line I think the big question for the Celtics is they don’t really know what to expect they trying

To figure it out in real time and I think it’s a little bit unfair because they win and we critique they lose and we critique but they’re still pacing the entire NBA at the end of the day this is a team to me that will come out of the

East this is a team that is built to win a championship if they are healthy and this is a team that Jason Tatum has to figure out in those big moments because as much as we want to say Jaylen Brown has done better the last five or so

Games that Chris at bingus has really been The X Factor it’s going to come down to him and I think once he solidifies when I you know we think about the great Steph’s going to get a three just find him on the arc LeBron James is going to attack the basket or

He’s going to hit you with the signature I think figuring out what his go-to move is in those dire moments will help but well let me say this the one thing that we have raised like a question about is their depth of their bench last night pton Pritchard put the world on notice

This is this was a guy that was out of the rotation last postseason and without him they don’t win that basketball game last night what he bought from a tenacity standpoint getting the crowd fired up along with getting buckets this young man been getting buckets since

He’s been in since he’s been at Oregon like this is a bright spot for the the Boston Celtics no Drew holiday all of a sudden this man come in have 19 points off the bench and and everyone has been questioning like do they have the dep outside of Al but if you’re the

Milwaukee Bucks you come in to Boston without Damen or excuse me without Giannis and tentac kmo you only lose this game by three do all of a sudden you walk out with a a little bit more confidence that at least you could give these guys some trouble in a five in a

Seven game series you’re damn right they do you know why one Chris milon looked damn good last night he’s looked good since he’s come back from injury number two I think doc found something with Bobby poris and not just in that game but his ability to stretch the floor

Brook Lopez was getting cooked last night whether it was in the pick and roll in the drop coverage him switching now all of a sudden you’re able to see this and you’re like if you’re doc you’re looking like oh we match up against the Celtics I throw Yannis at the five with Bobby

Space on the floor I got more now Dame has more room to operate and it’s a much better offense for the for um for the Milwaukee Buck so yeah you feel damn good walking out of there I think the Bucks stumbled into a beautiful Synergy because Dame down the stretch was trying

To take over the game and in some ways he did he hit some really big tough shots but then the Celtics started double teaming him and then he kicked it to Bobby and Bobby felt like he was ready for the moment so that we learned that he again is a Championship caliber

Player in the way that they sort of Miss Drew holiday Chris Middleton being on the floor as an xfactor you insert Giannis now we know that it’s not a forone conclusion that the Celtics can just win it’s going to probably be a war versus the Milwaukee when healthy yeah

And that the seven games that I am signing up absolutely that the only battle though that we had in the Eastern Conference last night another showdown in Cleveland here this one against the Miami Heat the heat had lost five of their last seven games the Cavaliers entered Wednesday one game back in the

Milwaukee Bucks for second in the Eastern Conference Jimmy Butler on fire to start the fourth quarter here off buckets that’s what he does Timmy buckets this is his time of year Chen yeah Madness right here I mean it’s crazy he just turns the switch in his

Head mentality wise and no one can guard him it just feels like he hits tough shots Darius Garland backs up hit the three Garland had 20 points nine assists in this one now it’s a one-point game all of a sudden kicks it back out to the perimeter beep beep here comes the

Minivan floater adds up to after some made free throws then under 2 minutes left to go here the heat down by four Terry Rosier tough bucket SC Terry that’s why they bought him in tie the game at 100 here under 50 seconds to go same score Jimmy Butler going to work

Briefly loses the ball elevates look I mean nothing you could do you can’t Scout that Butler at 30 points oh good pass nice Cut there Allen 25 and 20 Kendrick Perkins the game tied at 102 the final second tier Rosier step back three that’s why they brought him in he

Had 24 points the Heat win 107 104 Rosier and Butler They Carried the offense in the fourth quarter they combined for 17 of Miami’s 24 points while making six of their seven shots including a pair of Threes that we just saw from Rosier just that was an incredible um just uh thanks guys

Congrats oh interesting I can’t I can’t do that the they were high in OKC last night what’s going on with Utah we can’t do that either yet he put another Jazz forward on a they just get dunked on all the time CH had 35 SGA had 31 the

Thunder remain in first place perk is this team all bark or do they have some serious bik o do it right now they’re all B they all B right now why they have potential they all fight all right next up the Kings they stayed clear of the

Play and bracket at least for now after rolling the Raptors sa bonus he watched his League leading 24th triple double his 51th consecutive double double too shy of an NBA record Austin sabonis does he even all NBA case this year absolutely look at the stats that you

Just named and then when we consider the success he’s had versus the guys that we put ahead of him whether that’s Anthony Davis Carl Anthony towns he’s been dominant and his team’s in the playoff picture come on man Suns they stayed a half game back from Sacramento for the

Sixth seed that’s thanks to Grayson Allen hitting nine threes for the third time this season so CH will the Suns be able to crack the top six in the west it’s going to be hard especially with the remaining schedule but I would not never say no to Kevin Durant who has

Been way more aggressive with his field goal attempts this second half the season and plus I’m wearing Suns apparel between I was going to say though the orange and purple is really perfect for this go Schwarz Center president son we’re going to end in Portland the

Clippers who were able to hold on to the fourth seed with a win over the Blazers James Harden he dished out 14 dimes but look at this closed out on Kawai Leonard before eventually connect With A Mir this was just a little bit of a he said I to seen

My life I guess he was trying to lighten a move well he was asked about it to explain this decision perk to that point contest your own teammate I mean he was asked to explain that after the game take a listen to what he had to say

Because this was uh this is different got bring some excitement to this team you know what I mean I think this last few weeks has been a fog for us and I think every team goes through it so I think just me just trying to create a

Good energy create a great for this team and um May would have been better if made the shot but give something give some laugh laugh about you know some excitement you yeah I did have you ever seen anything like that Austin no I never have um but if

You know James like we both know him you played with him in Houston yes and I know you played with him in OKC that is the most James like play I’ve ever seen in my life uh first off I’ve never seen him contest that hard when he’s actually

On defense so that that was crazy James all up listen if you know James James has like this kind of excuse my language kind of has like this nature about himself but it’s a funny way like he’s he would do that up 20 vers Portland messing around he knew

That they were going to win that game regardless of which so he going out there trying to lighten the mood get the energy up people have had a lot of negativity to say about the team recently they’re 10 and 10 over the last 20 look look at this clip look at look

At this no no no no no no no no no we at the point of the season where it’s not about lightning the mood or being they’re playing Portland no it’s not about playing Portland this is a team that has been struggling this is a guy that has a resume of struggling

Especially during this period of time and going into the going into the talk about that his resume of struggling versus the trail blaz that’s what I’m saying bro having a good time only is wait I’ll get it back to you the only issue I have is kawh letter afterward

He’s like bro what what’s going on here yes I yeah from a guy that MVPs that know James is different I didn’t take it too serious it was unusual but I’m not here saying unusual is a good word for but yeah it’s not it’s not going to be like oh this can

Never happen again who El like they felt good about it did Kawai did they win I mean I don’t think anybody expected it that’s the thing I’ve had people do that to me in practice at practice yeah I know it’s not the game talk practice we are talking okay we’re talking about a

Team though if we’re we’re going to give you the benefit of Doubt here per who are seven and 8 since the break they were 28 and seven before that so I think that that’s probably from where you’re where you’re coming from this is what I’m saying it’s not about lightning the

Move winning winning the championship or trying to go compete or competing to win the championship it’s nothing easy about that and it’s supposed to be frustrating you’re supposed to walk in and be in your feelings like it’s nothing past that so at the end of the day I get what

He was trying to lighten the move but maybe the move doesn’t need to be lightened like maybe T needs so keep applying pressure cuz I know he been on the ass like back pocket so it sounds like you’re a little bit concerned about the Clippers the way they I picked them

To come out of the West and now yic that damn yic man he got me thinking otherwise Denver Nuggets yeah are you as concerned as Kendrick is uh there’s definitely concern just due to the fact that we hearing comments from Paul George talking about we haven’t found

Our identity this is a team that went 25 and 5 at one point and we didn’t hear any Whispers of anything about identity they were saying the opposite we found who we are we found our groove y y y now we’re right before the playoffs and like

We’re we’re hearing these type of things so there’s concern in that regard but this is a team you still don’t want to play early on in in the playoffs they have so much Firepower uh James is in a position Also let’s talk about it the reason he’s lighthearted is cu he’s been

A position he’s never been in before he’s not the first option or the second option he gets to be the third guy have a lot less pressure on himself it lets him there’s pressure but it’s not as much look I don’t fault him for trying to lighten the mood because sometimes

You have a teammate that’s going to do that whether it’s with their play and typically that teammate is Russell Westbrook right and they miss him and so I do think he’s trying in his own unique unusual way to lighten a mood in which how are you going to else find energy I

Mean maybe through your play cool but I didn’t mind that I I didn’t take that too serious we had the Clippers saying this is their year they do need to switch gears the way that we’ve seen other teams do that like the Denver Nuggets I still think that they can make

Some noise if they’re able to be hopefully more healthy come to playoffs but I still have the nuggets in front but this is still a team that like is capable of switching their numbers back to that we don’t see joic playing with the game like that they’re up but he plays

With energy guys like he literally ran down the hallway saying unrelenting the light yeah but that was that that was a hidden camera that wasn’t on the floor well I I understand where you’re coming from the we talked about the Clippers as being one of the top four seeds it’s

Really locked in the Denver Nuggets OKC the Timberwolves the Clippers in some way shape or form in some order and now all of a sudden the Pelicans are really knocking on that door there is a very very real chance that they fall out of that fourth seed and therefore home

Court advantage look to me their goal the Clippers was always to be ahead of the Denver Nuggets and that’s not happening and I don’t think that that helped them because as long as they were in the the mix they felt like they would play better but they have to realize the

Competition is not just the Denver Nuggets it’s the entire top six in the west the issues are happening at the wrong time for the Clippers I’m not sure whether or not James Harden closing out on his own teammate was going to be the thing that that broke the CES back but

At least he gave us something to to have a little chuckle about I got your back bro coming up on it the Warriors hosted the short-handed Grizzlies last night let’s check it on how that went we called this a must-win for the Golden State Warriors in the middle of a

Three-game homeand here but there were some early fireworks this is the second quarter here watch Draymond Green and Santi Alama here come on this would continue can’t grab a man’s chest like that Draymond and Desmond Bane would later get into it too benches would clear tempers would flare

Watch Grizzly’s head coach here no no no what that listen Draymond said that on his recently released podcast that Taylor Jenkins milked it I’m not here to more importantly look at how the bench reacted to Draymond it seems like they’re tired of those situations but at least the Warriors kept playing well

Draymond had 10 points 12 rebounds seven assists on the night in the second half Steph Curry really started to find his shot here perk good for Golden State not not it only impress me against a depleted Memphis good as Steph Curry beats Draymond Green throws it down here

A bright spot though for the Golden State Warriors really has been the play of Jonathan oh absolutely God throw it down with authority and in case you thought that was a fluke the point God Chris Paul One More Time come on kaminga he eight dunks

In that game he had a team High 26 points the Golden State Warriors get the win 137 116 so with the win the number 10 Warriors remain three and a half games behind the number eight Sun so golden state has minus 200 odds to miss the playoffs after the conclusion of the

Playing tournament this is all according to ESPN bet and last night on NBA Countdown we got into what missing the Playoffs could mean for the dubs what would it mean e Kendrick you said the Warriors not making the playoffs at all means nothing you said there’s no ramifications CH

Brian and I all disagreed with you you said all of that means absolutely nothing the floor is yours go ahead it it absolutely means everything I’m going tell you why right now okay you don’t not make the playoffs with a team that is based and built off a dynasty of

Winning championships with a player who’s still at the end of his prime but yet in his prime time is important to Steph Curry you don’t make the playoffs and run it back so if you aren’t running it back now you have to make decisions on change when we talk about change with

The Warriors what direction are we going in are we still building around Steph Curry that’s a different thing than building around Jonathan kaminga they have two different timelines they’ve been playing tug War all year and we’ve been seeing what the the benefits of that or not the benefits of it right so

Them not making the playoffs is a huge deal bro by the way for the market of basketball having Steph Curry in the playoffs is important man this is a guy who’s carried the league along with LeBron James in Monument memorable moments in the playoffs Steph Curry not

In the playoffs is not good for anybody you’re with all three of us contradiction at his finest is what Austin just did he just talked about how it’s everything and then you just broke down how the Warriors been playing tug of war all season long so we all have

Been witnessing and watching this team and know that they’re not good enough to actually compete we knew that before the trade deadline we knew it after the trade deadline Richard Jefferson actually said next seat that you’re sitting in looked into the camera and said they suck they’re trash hold on

That’s they suck in the Western Conference and so I’m ask y’all this question is Steph Curry ever going to get traded from the Golden State Warriors no okay so why should it mean everything that Steph is not going to ever he’s not ever going to leave the

Hold on hold on he’s not ever going to leave the organization so you going to this off seon now you have seen a lot through Jonathan kaminga you know what you could get from him You’ seen what psky is going to bring to the table now

D leevy he has to do his due diligence and make sure he put the pieces around Steph Curry but those exact decisions weren’t made at the trade deadline I know but what I’m saying is if they do make those decisions this off season Kendrick wouldn’t this be the Catalyst

The one Domino that made the Golden State Warriors move in that direction when everything you’re saying perk none of us disagree with you on that but that’s why it means everything what I’m saying it means everything because if this is the time CH that Golden State

Decides that they need to make all of these drastic changes whether that means Klay Thompson is on the roster or not huge decisions that you Kendrick Perkins have been calling for if this is the time they make it and this is the moment they decide if so facto it means

Everything yeah and you were talking about February breaking up potentially the Golden State Warriors because that’s the only way you save stuff season you’ve had that same track Rec talking about the Boston Celtics and some other teams and those teams haven’t done that and yet the Celtics are building a

Championship right now but first hold on hold on they’re not they’re not they are because my point is is that you don’t really Rush the natural course of events you don’t break up the Celtics two years ago before you see what they’re doing right now making a chance to win a

Championship you also don’t break up the Golden State Warriors in the middle of a season where things haven’t fully been evaluated also knowing that post you know everyone knew internally that they had their own tumultuous start right that’s that’s the fact of the matter but they had to have these natural course of

Events that work things out you don’t just give up someone two years ago that won a championship by Klay Thompson without just letting him see himself through this season before you say all right these natural things have happened you’re on the bench but lastly I think

This is the most important thing when it comes to Steph Curry you have to allow him to have his final chapter we’re witnessing LeBron james’ Final Chapter he’s coming after the season Steph Curry will come off of year 15 what happened to LeBron James after year 15 he joined

The Los Angeles Lakers he made a shot at another Superstar and Anthony Davis and now he has another championship Steph Curry is probably the closest in our generation of great players so give them the opportunity to evaluate and see how to build a team based off of the

Timeline that they have lined up with Steve Cur Stu by their contract okay okay was it was it rumors out there or did I make them up that the Golden State Warriors actually called Rob pink and J that’s the point for is if this is the moment that they go big game hunting

Again oh God and then we’re going to look listen I I couldn’t even get my sentence out I couldn’t even get my sentence out did they not call it the allar breaking to get LeBron James so they knew right then that they weren good enough they knew that they needed

To add pieces Draymond knew it Steph Curry knew it who was going to be included in that probably Klay Thompson probably Jonathan kaminga they didn’t do it you know why because they’re holding on with emotions they should have been into this way long time ago do you think

It was a good conversation it was an easy conversation can’t they do hold on hold on hold on hold on do you think it was a great conversation that that took place between Klay or easy conversation between Klay Thompson and Steve cerr when he decided to move Klay to the

Bench it wasn’t easy okay do you think it’s been a easy conversation when they’ve been going back and forth since the beginning of the season with Klay Thompson in his contract negotiation no the writing has been on the wall so let me ask you this if the if the Golden

State Warriors continue to go this summer big game hunting they call around to see what star as they compare with Steph Curry as they did at the trade deadline as our Ramona shelburn and Adrien Wen resc reported and they do do that they get somebody else to put next

To Steph Curry whether or not that person is still Klay Thompson whether or not they need to part with Jonathan kaminga who from everything I’ve heard that is someone that the Golden State Warriors would really like to see a future with if they do that we’re not

Going to look back at this moment when they don’t potentially make the playoffs is the Catalyst for why they did all that I won’t y’all can because I’ve been seeing the writing on the wall before the allar break so y’all could have emotions about it I said it means

Nothing to me all we’re saying is there’s a fine line between them contending and not even making the playoffs so if they’re not making the playoffs I just think it’s a clearcut more sign of what direction they kind of have to go in versus them having some

Type of success in the postseason but let me ask you this before we go to bump are they a average team or a good team they can be good at times I can’t answer that question record tells me that they’re actually a good team that’s just in a great

Comp we just saying it different ways all right perk it’s not Friday but how about how about we just we we take a deep breath by we play a little G time for our favorite game of the week it is who said that we’re going to take

A look at some of the quotes that caught our attention and ask our esteemed contestants who said that Kendrick sound good we’re keeping we’re keeping a cool everything Bo keep a cool booty all right here’s the current standings Kendrick Perkins sitting at the top but

Already I think I think this is your day all right perk you’re up ready man I’m not even on the list why you even got me in the frame give me give me off the frame give me off the frame give me out the frame who said this quote did you

Watch the movie Benjamin Button what if I’m getting more athletic in my 30s was it Jimmy Butler was it Steph Curry or was it Kyrie Irving you know what this is easy because I believe Kyrie had a dunk in his last game I’m going with Kyrie Irving was it Kyrie Irving D ding

Ding I love that watch that was good if I’m getting more athletic in my 30s like that would be a heck of a thing wouldn’t it look at him aging backwards you see it K re look Kyrie’s been balling all across the board and look you know the the thing that we don’t

Give him enough credit for what is how in shape he always is well condition true Jan you’re up next oh I feel pressure what coach took their team to task with these postgame comments quote stat stats don’t mean bleep I don’t care about your individual stats I don’t care

How many many points you score I don’t care what you post on Instagram it doesn’t matter Steve Clifford will hardy or Greg papovich shoot I’m going to go with Steve Clifford oh was it Steve Clifford see that sounds like pop no I guessed pop last time was it Steve

Clippard I picked Hardy too a slump that was a tough one though I don’t care about your individual stats I don’t care how many points you score I don’t care what you post on Instagram it doesn’t matter tell you this about Will Hardy CU they’re getting posterized that’s why

Post game quotes are gold so just keep that in mind for future man I think it’s like two misses all right Austin it’s your turn we’re going to get you on the board here who described the recent statistical uptick uptick with this quote saying that’s where I’m at I’m

More dominant people like to laugh at it but it’s the truth was it Grayson Allen we or was it D’Angelo Russell it has to be DeAndre was it DeAndre guess that that was a layup yeah hey let’s get Austin on the board here and that’s where I’m at I’m more you

Know dominant people like to laugh delusion delusion is a powerful drug yo not delusion is a powerful he has but that team is playing basketball right now that is absolutely but he makes our who said that that much more fun I appreciate you Deandre you got me a

Point well done Austin I think think you will be on the standings next time the final time starting on Saturday when the top seated Iowa Hawkeyes begin their Quest so in February Clark declared for the 2024 WNBA draft she made history of course in her collegiate career becoming

The alltime NCAA leading scorer but the Hawkeyes they did fall short of the title last season so now she has one more shot to win it all so we welcome in our Hall of Famer Holly row who will be chronicling Caitlyn’s Quest during this March Madness Holly I want to start here

What is Caitlyn’s mindset her head space as she enters this tournament for the last time well before we get to Caitlyn I just have to say happy birthday to Chan and I just wanted to show our viewers the gold I have in my phone of the cutest baby girl

Ever hello happy birthday love you hly I love you too oh my gosh you are the best I have gold in my phone about the CH auma family so I just had to share that thank you so much okay back to Caitlyn um Caitlyn has a really interesting mindset right now you

Know I’ve been along with every single record that she set this season and I think what’s blown me away is the way she’s handling this pressure there are crushing crowds so much attention a million interview requests everywhere she goes and she’s just performing at the best of her ability and I want to

Read this quote she said to me a couple of weeks ago I’ve given this place everything and I’m leaving here with no regrets I want to have the closure of knowing this is is going to be my last few times on the court with my teammates

My best friends and I’m just excited and happy for the future she has proven that she can handle this pressure this stage yeah and she seems like she’s in a great mindset that that quote really underscores how close Caitlyn is Holly with all of her Iowa teammates what does

She need from them in order to capture this Championship Caitlyn can’t do this alone if they’re going to advance it will be because of her teammates and I want to point out Kate Mar is a a woman that went to college uh she was a 5-year-old going to Iowa basketball camps and here

She is on the biggest stage Kate was four for five from three in their last game in the Big 10 Championship final she’s shooting 38% from the perimeter Kate will be crucial also Gabby Marshall their best defender she’s also got to hit threes and then Hannah stalky their

Post I think is maybe the most important piece she’s just a sophomore she had 25 points in their last game and if they can throw into the post and count on Hannah stalky that changes how defenses can Corral Caitlyn Clark and then the last piece the crowd their Regional sold

Out in 15 minutes it is going to be wild and packed in Iowa City and that energy is going to help this Hawkeye team they’ve had it all season and now they’ll have it for the first and second rounds of the NCAA tournament it all starts on Saturday the Peerless Holly

You also just has to laugh at a little fake no it’s not a little fake that’s what you call a slippery heill that’s a slippery ear I see a lot of men and then she hit this flat footed she hit that to cap off a 40 Point triple double in the

Elite eight a there you go there you go and then we have to have some top game winners this is last season this one’s against Indiana ridiculous oh man I just love it I love how intense she is when she celebrates too she’s like flexing on the crowdy re Rebecca loo she couldn’t

Believe it and then this is this year this is against the Spartans in this one that one was really tough because the shot clock was low as you guys noticed bam had 22 last night and also he passed Shaquille O’Neal to move to eighth on the all-time scoring list next up Wilt

Chamberlain over 20 800 points away but who’s counting Kevin Durant he’s averaging almost 28 a game he shows no signs of slowing down we thought it would be nice though if Kendrick Perkins you take a little break today that’s fine that’s fine I had no problem we’re

Going to give Austin a shot this is Austin’s alltime list certified bucket Getters who do you got we’re going to start at number five Austin he hey at number five we going to get right into it we going Carmelo Anthony you already know Pier score got everything on the
