“NBA Finals ring will belong to Boston”- ESPN praises Celtics DOMINATE Pistons 129-102; Brown 33 Pts
Jaylen Brown is the Celtics get the win 129 to 102 their 56th win of the Season some significance there we can talk about that later we got Eddie House Chris forsberg with us Drew and scow in Detroit and uh guys I’ll start with you in Detroit uh it just it feels like it
Doesn’t matter who’s out of the lineup and Drew likes to ask a question before every game who’s going to step up it someone always does someone always does Drew yeah and again Giles just like you’re stepping up in the studio with Amina not there anymore as uh pton PR
Steps up Luke cornette of course steps up man Peyton Pritchard you know he didn’t do a whole lot in the second half compared to the first half but I I think the second quarter Wednesday against Milwaukee and then the first half tonight I mean you see just how good he
Can be and again it’s it’s for a team where he’s almost a luxury I mean they’re so loaded you know what’s interesting is like sometimes you have a team and there are some guys that are playing above their heads right they’re just like man this guy’s having a career
Year I don’t know if this guy can sustain it maybe he can’t do it next year it it’s almost as we’re watching and you start to see guys out it’s actually like maybe guys are actually sacrificing and maybe we’re thinking they’re having sort of career years but
Actually they’re capable of so much more and I I kind of think that about our bench they don’t get the credit when people talk about all this bench is not it’s not good enough how they going to win in the playoffs you think about guys like Derek white or Drew holiday you
Know we we know we have our Superstar players and what they give you and maybe even you could say Jason Tatum and and Jaylen Brown could probably do more too but you know everybody on this team seems to be sacrificing and everyone is loving the opportunity to have a night
Where they get to play more shoot more or just be involved in the action a lot more who was that guy who came up to you in the elite media dining room here in Detroit and said I don’t know about your guys in the playoffs I don’t think
They’re deep enough who was that you don’t have to put them on blast but but I’m not going to do that guys that’s a common narrative and I just think it’s flat wrong I think you’re not paying attention if you think the Celtic aren’t deep I mean look at the way Luke
Cornette has improved the way pyton Pritchard has clearly improved guy was asking for trades last year and now he’s one of their most important contributors Off the Bench Sam Hower we know what he’s doing so and then Al Horford usually comes off the bench if you think
The Celtics don’t have a deep bench you’re crazy yeah Eddie what do you think of the role players the the depth guys and the way they stepped up tonight I I think about it like this let’s let’s put it all in a nutshell right when Derek white first came to the
Team everybody was like okay D white he’s a good player but you know is he that guy that’s going to help them get to the promised land right to get over the hump and it’s all about getting comfortable you know if you are a a player and you know where your minutes
Are and you know what you could bring and you got to give Brad Stevens a ton of credit for picking the right guys for knowing I’m get I’m G get winning players number one I’m going to get guys that could be selfless selfless but at the same time affect winning in many
Different ways and I think that’s what we’re seeing from our bench yeah they’re not big bigname players they’re not you know they’re not the guys that going to jump off the page when you say their names and people think like oh these guys are automatically going to help
This team be better no but if you watch the Celtics play these are the guys that are going to help them win a championship the pyton piters the Luke Cornett the Sam Howers the Derek whites the Drew holidays I know Drew holiday already won a championship but the fact
Of the matter these are all winning players that love to play the game of basketball these are all hoopers hoopers the Celtics are treating some of these backto backs like split Squad spring training games they’re sending three starters to Jupiter three starters down to to to to the Florida like it’s
Amazing to me if you think this team is in deep and you’re watching like the way they’re treating the rest of of of of the the starters on this team and making sure that everybody’s upright for the playoffs you are truly not paying attention but Drew I threw it at scale
The other night and with like with so I’ll try to phrase it differently like which of these bench guys is going to be most vital when the playoffs roll around like does Sam need to get like be the guy knocking down shots does Luke have
To give you that extra big Off the Bench which guy is most vital besides that give me give yeah no like and we’re all none of us are mentioning Xavier Tilman as well which who started tonight yeah like I think Luke I think I think Joe maou is trying to incorporate him give
Me the game give me the series give me the situation give me who’s in who’s out we have two days off or there’s a lot of variables into who’s going to be the guy or who’s going to and I think if you look at it pton Pritchard in the way
That he created energy in that Milwaukee game man if he goes out there in a playoff game instead of playing three to four minutes in a stint maybe he goes six to seven minutes in that stint so you know I think the biggest problem moving forward
After all this as we go through this whole thing would be I think everybody in the NBA and Eddie included me included like you always want to maximize your role and I think the Celtics have a really good problem the really good problem is they got a lot of
Good players that deserve to play and they’re figuring it out right now but man these guys are showing tremendous amount of success when they get their individual opportunities and what does that lead to in the future but this is not a problem for us this year as we
Head as we get closer to the playoffs I we’ll see what it looks like again tomorrow night is I would assume that you’re going to have a totally different looking starting lineup as always heyes what happened to Eddie when did Addy house become a ghost what are you
Talking about look at that look at that Zoom it looks looks so weird got the back BL out I got my background blurred man I you know what to be honest with you man I’m give you a break right now I’m I’mma give you a break Dre you
Shouldn’t have said nothing I’m going give you a break Drew because Eddie have children yeah yeah he don’t have kids no energy right now but I’mma give you a break Drew that’s all I’m say I’m give you brother he don’t he don’t know how he he
Doesn’t know how we live and die by this stuff Eddie he doesn’t know he he might I didn’t even know similar our next flight I might choke him that escalated quickly no Eddie Eddie give him a break I I’ll explain to him today on the flight just how it works when you have
You know your your your blood out there out there playing I’ll explain that just give him a give him he don’t know he don’t know I’ll let him know Drew you better find Eddie Mo St there you go I got there I got some got a play to catch
Uh let’s catch up with Abby meanwhile Jaylen what kind of Rhythm did you find here on the floor you were perfect from two the only shots you missed were from three uh just trying to be aggressive uh coming out we know we had some players out uh just try to find
Our teammates I ended up with no assist tonight I thought I made some good passes but outside of that I was just being aggressive yeah missing two starters when Jason doesn’t play You’re averaging over 32 points game how does the approach change cuz I know you’re always aggressive to start yeah just
Keep being aggressive but playing a little bit faster um and just trying to get into a rhythm um from on defense and offense and let the game kind of take care of itself here in Detroit P rabbit came out in that starting lineup what
Does it do for you guys when he is that aggressive yeah he came out on fire like in the first half I was like it’s his show U let him keep running it he was playing well making the right play so when we got our guys rolling like that
That’s important so uh we want to empower our guys to continue to play like that that and reward them so you know in the next couple games um be looking to play through with some of our guys to get them feeling good about themselves yeah pretty good start to
This season long trip how are you challenging this team on this road trip more as a a battle of focus Battle of mindset we could have came out and went through the motions allowed Detroit to get comfortable but we came out and we executed you know we didn’t play around
Even we down a couple players still came out and took care of business so that’s the most important thing jayen thank you congrats thank you all right thank you Abby 129 102 the final score Celtics getting the victory in Detroit game one of six here on the
