Jaylen Brown in control, Boston Celtics win easy, Derrick White & Payton Pritchard hot
The Celtics and Pistons started sloppy but the Celtics stabilized while the Pistons did not. Luke Kornet was a bit of an unsung hero by helping that happen in the first, but Jaylen Brown was in total control in this game for most of his time on the floor. John Karalis of Boston Sports Journal breaks down the blowout win and why it might look easy, but having Boston’s mentality is actually really tough. Also, Derrick White and Payton Pritchard’s big nights and a nice game from Kristaps Porzingis.

Missed the game at work but had this gem waiting for me when I clocked out, W
Love the call out on Jaylen Brown.He seems so much more dominsting this year. When he goes into the paint he's not just athletic he's brutal too.
Good discussion about their egos, John. The Celtics can and will always win because they are not heliocentric.
Love seeing JB's maturity and unselfishness grow over the years. 🏆🏆
Bickerstaff, who is a hundred times more knowledgeable about basketball than the average person, said it best. The Celtics win because they play beautiful, unselfish basketball. It's just the haters who say that they only chuck threes while the rest of the league are awed, irritated and envious of their dominance.
You can see the furture is for sure bright for the Pistons. But that future is just not now. Because the Celtics dominated. Making it look easy. Love the bounce back win for the Cs.🙂☘️
this was a well balanced game with alot of ball movement….looks like players had a talk during the time off to address the issue of taking too many threes and lack of paint presence the way they approached the game today

Great game Payton Pritchard did very well. Also, Luke with the fresh cut. Well, those four days of rest paid off
☘️☘️👊
Game is easier when everyone sharing the ball, 34 assists! Give Tatum more nights off please.
I also admire how Jaylen Brown strives to improve as a team player. That pass to KP had me involuntarily get up out of my lazy boy chair! I had popcorn everywhere!🤣
Have a great weekend, John!!👍
When the Celtics pass and make assist they are unbeatable and a beautiful thing to watch. It’s when they are just chucking threes and not moving the ball things go bad.
Love the "culture" talk. Shots at the heat? Lol
John what a great point to bring up the egos conversation. It’s a conversation that really is paramount when talking about sports especially in the NBA. Really enjoy all you shows but this was excellent work
John… any chance we sign Al on a 1 year if he doesn't retire next season?
Jrue is what? The 6th scoring option? Lol! I would like to compare ours to everyone else’s.
I have something I have to admit…this is not always my FIRST listen, but it usually is my BEST listen! ☘️
So glad you made a point to explain just how good Jaylen was and the trajectory of his career.
So much is lost in just reading box scores, he had complete control.
John I know you felt some kind of way about horford posting up, but Tatum wasn't playing and he's usually the guy putting pressure in the post and it opens the game for other guys. Since he was out somebody needed to do it
