hard Hat’s all about showing up to play hard doing what it takes to win if you want a cement Legacy win another more Loop eat your third Center you don’t want to help him up too much but it’s hard not to this might surprise you but this is maybe the most I’ve ever agreed with you uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh Saturday night show with the boys what’s up fellas jimmmy t a Shad Bobby m in the building um Saturday night the boys are buzzing what can we say Celtics with a with a rebound win after an ugly one against the same Chicago Bulls couple days ago they go ahead and return the favor in Chicago 12398 H 25 Point win led by none other than Jason Tatum himself with the triple double 43 16 and 10 John xanis somewhere is punching air right now he is so pissed that Tatum dropped 46 and had a triple double and all on and on and on he’s so upset he probably couldn’t how do you like him now even if he could have done the show tonight he probably would have made something up so then he would not have to come on here and talk about Jason Tatum’s triple double he would have spun it he would have he would have made it into a bad thing some way but not tonight Positive Vibes guys we’re gonna we’re gonna we’re going into the Christmas week here there’s enough stress going on everyone’s stressed out about something We’re not gonna we’re not going to bring that into the Celtics postgame show tonight we’re going to try to keep it as positive as we can of course you might mix in something here and there but overall Positive Vibes only I’m gonna throw it to you guys because um you guys are just I’ll say it in the spirit of in the spirit of Christmas I’ll say it your basketball brains might be a little bit bigger than mine just basketball just basketball we’re gonna start with sherro sherro hit me with what you know yeah we’re gonna start with sherad because because he’s the OG Bobby I like shad’s Point coming into the show hit it hit it that’s true we were talking a little bit before here but we’ll this was all about Jason Tatum uh and and and specifically not so much the fact that he was scoring pretty much how he wanted to but the fact that the Celtics as a collective unit decided we are not going to go through our three-point paloa moment we’re just going to go back to Old School bullyball we’re going to take the ball we’re going to go to the rim we’re going to finish and we’re going to do rinse recycle repeat all game long and that’s what they did I mean they they took as Bobby pointed out earlier they took 45 threes which in most worlds that’s a lot for the Celtics that’s below average and a big part of that was because they there was a clear and undeniable conscious effort to take the ball to the damn rim and this the thing about the Celtics that I think they’re starting slowly but surely to understand is that they don’t have to shoot threes to beat every single team they play sometimes they literally can play bullyball when there’s a team that doesn’t have a rim protecting presence like oh I don’t know Chicago Bulls this is what happens when you recognize a team’s clear weakness and you have the tools to exploit that you can shoot threes all day long with anyone but there are nights where you can literally play bully ball and win and win decisively and that’s exactly what they did tonight yes 60 points in the paint I believe their season high and Dam third Fest three-point attempts tied for third Fest by them in a game this year so shift and approach certainly they shot what like 52 on Thursday one of their worst shooting nights of the season I believe their second worst uh so a clear change in approach in this game and what I loved about it Jimmy is the game wasn’t going well early I didn’t like the way they were playing it at all you had a lot of down performances Pritchard included uh you can go up and down the lineup and many of the guys weren’t shooting the way they normally would Jaylen Brown struggled in this game I thought Chris porzingis even wasn’t as efficient as he normally is so Tatum had to take this game over and needed to do it by going to the basket more forcefully finishing through the mismatches that he got there and of course he was able to reain down the threes over vvi and the others late there but you got a good balance in his game and of course you know the stats monstrous here too with the triple double and I think this is only like his third right or or fourth maybe he hasn’t had many triple doubles triple doubles yeah I think it’s less than that yeah three great passes too I mean Tatum had some really really good passes you know the layup by Derek white early on in the first half was just I don’t know how he saw him uh I mean derck was wide open but Tatum showed no T this was maybe one of his better allaround offensive games because we we know he can score get guys involved but really at the the level that he was operating tonight was really really at a high level higher than usual for Jason Tatum and you needed it Jimmy you needed it there was some doubt before he got gone late in the third quarter there oh I mean and again like one game is going to change everything we know that you know there’s been some questions about the shooting from him and again that might be a topic for another day we can touch upon it but does does it have anything to do with the fact that it’s the same team and and they had and they approached it differently like is this is this kind of like a little chess match here because we talked about on the last show we love the fact that there’s a back toback with the same team they kind of wish that there was more of that because gives you a chance to look at the film and say okay what did this team specifically do well against us what did we what didn’t we do right what can we do differently because we’re going to see them again in two days Jimmy in a lot of ways Jimmy it really is like playoff prep in the regular season right uh just just like you know young teams that like Oklahoma City you know and Indiana lash when they got to the you know the NBA Cup being in that like game S Type environment which is really what those type that type of situation is the Celtics still need to as this group continues to move forward and inch closer and closer to the playoffs they’re going to need moments where they can just frankly do something at that isn’t a rinse recycle repeat type thing preparing for an opponent that you may see multiple times you don’t really get opportunities to do that much in the regular season and I I think the Celtics they did a good job of making the adjustments and this is what you’re going to have to do in the playoffs whether you win or lose if you’re playing the same team multiple times you’re go there’s going to be changes made and your ability to adapt quickly and efficiently to those changes and find ways to win that’s huge that that’s a huge thing so yeah this was a this was a good back-to-back series because if you look at where Chicago is in terms of the standings it really wouldn’t be that big a shock if the Celtics saw them in the first round so this so this again for the Celtics this was a great playoff prep type situation with these back-to-backs with the bulls yeah and I do think Tatum took it upon himself in many situations even earlier in the game to get some postl to just assert his will and strength inside there and it’s something all of us I think at different points have wanted to see more of from him because he’s so strong Jimmy he’s he’s a power forward you want to see him operating around the rim early because he’s stronger than everybody he’s longer than everybody and you get to the free throw line in droves if you’re playing around there for him too so I I think it was a necessary change of pace and what we talk about last game with the threes and that whole conversation I know Jon’s like guard the Celtics straight up you know don’t help don’t come off Shooters try to defend these guys one-onone and this is what you need Tatum to do if someone’s going to try to defend them that way and you know Indiana tried to take away the three from them last year defend them more straight up and he was able to score you know 30 upwards of 30 points in multiple games in that Series so he’s capable of that and that’s why it’s not as simple Jimmy as just defending Tatum one-on-one because when he can make you pay this is the kind of KN he’s capable of here but it was important that he didn’t settle early that he made himself a threat in Lane that clearly opened up some passing later as gerod mentioned there and then you get your chance to step back and shoot the threes and all that stuff there too early so again it was a good B he shot a ton of Threes right 15 out of 24 Shots but those moments early those tone Setters the dunks the dunk late in the third quarter too that I think got him going there all that I think just G made it a balanced game for him and that’s what we’re asking for right no one wants to see Tatum stop shooting threes he’s such a threat out there that that’s gonna you know D you open everybody else up they’re gonna fall on some nights all that but you want the balance you want the tough inside looks too and that’s I think when the Celtics teams at their best wow 43 points 43 thank you Jason Tatum very much for the Super Chat we really appreciate that wow especially at the holidays now I can buy my Christmas presents now my family gonna get a gift my is going to get a GI thank you so much Tatum um let me ask you guys this what do you like more the nine three-pointers that he hit or the way he was being you know more aggressive and and kind of sherod mentioned at the beginning of the show how the team was kind of embracing that bully ball mentality certainly he was you know triple doubl tonight so doing a little bit or a lot of bit of everything I should say whether it’s grabbing boards you know dishing out the assists the three-point and the total points are inflated a little bit just because the heat checks the heat checks hit right he misses one maybe he doesn’t take any others but why stop if you’re hitting him the way he did so again I don’t think anyone expect him to hit nine threes a game but he hasn’t been a I think it’s safe to say that his his his three-point shooting this year hasn’t been great shooting overall has been a little bit off after the hot hot start to the season what do you like to see more or is one contributing to the other here is it is it like a chicken before the egg type question or is the shot something that’s going to come around and maybe this is a sign of that or does he need to be aggressive and does he need to get himself going uh in Motion in order to sort of open things up for him a little bit from behind the arc well I mean his his shooting this season I mean is he shooting out of this world no but it’s he’s shooting about 36% on threes uh which is a little bit down but it’s not like you know crater you know it’s not a you know catastrophically bad uh but I think the the thing that I like most about this was the aggression because I just think that when Jason Tatum is aggressive when Jason Tatum is initiating and putting his imprint on the game offensively whether he’s making shots or not it’s going to open things up for the rest of his team it’s going to make everyone I think a much more challenging threat because as Bobby was talking about earlier uh when Tatum is aggressive and teams are trying to play them one-onone and they’re not really helping and all that the Celtics are unbeatable in my mind and if you’re playing them in a best of seven series and you’re playing them straight up you’re not going to win that series they they’ve got too many weapons too talented you’re going to have to mix things up and Jason I think is still evolving to in to the point where he can recognize what teams are as a I think as a mantra are trying to do defensively against him and adapt his game to that if they’re GNA play you straight up Jason you need to attack uh you don’t need to settle for threes if they’re doing if they’re blitzing if they’re doubling if they’re mixing up then you’ve got to mix up your game I think Jason sometimes doesn’t recognize what the opponent is doing doing as well as he should but because he’s so ridiculously talented even then he can get you 25 and seven mhm yeah and he’s not seeing the single coverage much that’s what drives John crazy is that teams are so aggressive trying to defend him and I think that’s what’s allowed his passing to Blossom to another level and I think it’s made him more of a pass first player so a game like this Jimmy again how many times this year has Pritchard gone off or Jaylen had a huge game or you know porz has been pretty steady since he’s returned so you have all these options you have all these guys you can pass to in this game he didn’t so he had to go out there and take this one I I’ll say it again I don’t think you win this game if he doesn’t start going off there in the third quarter this looked like Thursday night to me all over again the Bulls were getting their threes off ovich was attacking mismatches inside an even higher rate than you saw in the other game so this this to me was impressive because this wasn’t stat padding this wasn’t running it up with a game out of reach although it got to that point in the fourth but in that instrumental stretch there late in the third quarter it was what a seven-point game at Halftime Bulls were staying in like that 7even eight n you know range for most of the third quarter and then you see that dunk go down and then it’s just three after three and him just scoring it will over them and you know that’s when you start to open up your other game and he actually got the 10 assists this time I think uh Drew was saying on the broadcast there that there were two or three other games where he was one rebound or one assist short this year so he finally got there I don’t really care about that you know following one assist and one rebound short is just as good to me I don’t really need the whole triple double thing um but this was this was important because I think it’s going to get him going and he’s been a little down offensively shooting wise over the last handful of games here into this month dealing with an injury I know we talked about that this morning at shoot around during that you know five games and seven night stretch there the knee was starting bother him affect him I’m sure that played a role here and the games are just going to start to get tougher here Jimmy like you look ahead to next weekend with the Pacers and into January with that West Coast Swing it’s gonna get much harder here you’re not going to see the Bulls anymore and the Wizards and pistons and all these teams you’ve been playing it’s gonna actually be some of the Best of the West uh some you know teams like the Knicks in the February so you know this thing’s going to start going getting going for real here and you know I felt watching this game early Jimmy they’re not playing great right now like they lost three of the last eight that game on Thursday was really bad I know they had a meeting about the officiating too like they got together and talked about that so what do you mean go on about that for a second they you know Pritchard mentioned it this morning to knowah who’s out there and she’s going to join us later that you know they got together and talked about that whole officia debacle uh there at the end of the Thursday night game and we’re like we got to put that behind us and stop and I felt like you didn’t see too much of that tonight maybe part of it was because because if ref went down so there weren’t as many to complain to but yeah that this was a distraction free game again early it kind of felt like Thursday because the Bulls have really pushed you and and provide a lot of resistance but they responded well in this game and it did feel like a bit of a wakeup call game shro for them to be like all right let’s let’s start playing like ourselves again here yeah yeah and and obviously you know Tatum he he has to in many instances be the callous of that type of you know change in transition for them uh and and you know we talking a lot about what he was doing offensively but his rebounding has been really really strong I think this is like his fifth straight game where he’s had double digit rebounds uh and and this is a guy that again Bobby as you pointed out earlier he really has become a modern-day power forward a guy that has has incredible length can shoot the three can defend both on the perimeter and on the Block uh to some extent and is just able to to just amass a lot of rebounds uh Tatum is becoming a much more allaround complete player and I don’t think he getes enough credit for that I mean we we know about what he can do offensively and people talk about you know top five Tatum but it’s the little things that he’s becoming much more effective and impactful at like rebounding uh closing out uh doing things that don’t necessarily show up in the statute but if you’re going to win a championship you you need your best player to do those things and like you said Bobby Noah is at the game in Chicago and I know Joe missou is speaking right now or just spoke so we’ll have some info we might have some some video that we can toss up here uh in a little bit I’m it’s I’m it’s on the ones and twos in the back trying to get some content up but we’ll get Noah we’ll ask I’m interested about the the meeting about the officiating because that was a freaking that was I would say border like not acceptable it was so bad that even they admitted it Jimmy yeah I mean it was like you got to complain sometimes you know pick your spots well that’s what Joe said in the past right this time around you know he admitted that he and he got fined of course today as well for his whole Outburst at the end there but they all looked at it porzingis especially and was like this wasn’t our best night you missed 75 threes between the two teams you’re damn right it wasn’t your best night and behavior too to this point the behavior was and I think we kind of let Joe off the hook a little bit on the last show because it was got I mean whether it was you know walking on the court costing your team a point and you know yelling about the just something that’s as small as the as the who takes who takes the jump ball losing a point over that Jaylen getting another one tacked on and then a completely different situation Tatum getting one later but then the way Missoula acted after the game is Just again I don’t want to pile on but at the same same time it’s just it’s a it’s a bad look you know you’re you’re supposed to be kind of like leading these guys and to his credit it seems like they are taking a lot of good things that he sort of taught them about you know how to approach the game and maybe even life to an extent in order to block out certain things but you got to be able to check your emotions a little bit better than that so maybe that’s something that Jo maybe it was Joe’s idea to have the meeting and just sort of like regroup and say hey guys like maybe they watched it back and they were like this is embarrassing because it kind of was and and it was it was a bad Missoula game I think I think we kind of let him off the hook a little bit but I think he kind of cost him in that game because soon as he kind of lost it I think the team felt okay well now we we have permission to lose it what’s that he said he said it they let go of the Rope the defense collapsed and the defense was better tonight too I know we haven’t mentioned that yet but they shut down LaVine after he went wild on them the other night there too so much improved then you got by without Hower again tonight which you know they effectively just shut off that rotation spot and played double big and leaned on their starters more and those guys sometimes again as great as pritchard’s been this year and this wasn’t a Pritchard game as much as you love to have Hower out there and porzingis doing his thing and brown and Tatum scoring together this is a game Tatum just needed to go out there and take and he did that and he doesn’t have to do that often Jimmy and I you know I know we got Joe talking about him here but he is capable of this right he doesn’t have to do it often sometimes we don’t want to even see him doing it taking all the shots and trying to do it himself he doesn’t even do that much anymore but that’s something we used to complain about with him and so for him to be able to shift back into that mode when he sees that his teammates don’t have it in a game like this I think is important and it’s GNA show you know people around the League what he’s uh capable of as well here so we’ll toss up the audio right now I don’t know if it sounds great we’re we’re doing the best we can here so let’s get Joe on Tatum overall what did you think about his approach and what do you think of replicable there yeah I mean I think uh anytime you see a guy uh play like that um you know you’re just kind of fascinated by it but I thought he did it within the Flow game uh you know I don’t think he went outside of what we normally do and that’s a testament to him um uh but you know just his shot making his uh decision making um you know and then his ability to rebound uh was just great so uh I thought he kind of controlled the the entire game uh with his Poise and decision making and took what the defense gave him would even I fascinated um again I I say this about him all the time because he’s uh been doing great things for such a long time I still think he gets taken for granted I still think his greatness gets taken for granted because he’s done it for a long time and it comes relatively easy to him and you know we’re in Boston which is the expectation but there you go he’s right take that down by the way thank you Mr Nick jelo the big boss man listen to Nick guys if you guys like the show give us a like hit the Subscribe button it does help and also yes Nick thank you Merry Christmas and happy holidays everybody we got a Christmas show too we don’t we don’t want to over Christmas it we got a B Christmas show coming up but appreciate you nick uh yeah magic either back to back to Joe um are we under appreciating Tatum I find that a at least around Celtics Nation I don’t know if that’s really true but I don’t know if it’s under I don’t think that’s a problem think think is properly appreciated by these people around here I think I think it’s more he’s just kind of taken for granted uh that because he’s done this for so long and because he makes a lot of the stuff that he does look pretty easy we just kind of take it for granted that well you know Tatum he had a nice night he had 43 16 and 10 but when you think about it 43 freaking points is a lot uh and and to do it on an efficient night shooting the ball knocking down threes getting damn near 20 rebounds you got 16 10 assists and that doesn’t include the shots where guys you know obviously potential assists Beyond those and he did it in 36 minutes it’s not like this guy this guy basically did this in three quarters a play uh and and so I’ll keep going back to it sh he hasn’t done this in a while I just look he last scored 43 in February so it’s been a while since we’ve seen this from himan 19 yeah I guess the xanis is of the world could take tat for granted a little bit but I think I think he gets I mean dude if anything I think maybe Jaylen Brown might have a little bit more of a gripe than than Tatum does but under appreciated Jaylen take it for granted Tatum I think that’s okay okay I like that I like that I think what Joe’s getting at there is on a night like tonight you look at the stat line you look at the scoring and you’re like whoa like that’s crazy what he did he’s amazing and you’re not going to see that from him every night right but he’s doing all the things in between that make the machine go that get other guys involved that just allow them to stay as consistent stable and boil that all the way the down to the fact that he’s out there every night which I think is always what we discussed the least with him so you don’t need to see 40 points understand how important how great he is and uh the fact that he’s out there every night I think is probably what adds to being underappreciate because is he always going to be at his best is he always going to be scoring 30 40 no but he’s gonna be doing something that helps you there and that’s where what I’ve try to appreciate most about him is you know we all have our gripes and the shot selection questions and we hold that mvp standard right so I think that’s why we go at him a little bit here because there are a lot of things that he’s not doing that contri tribute to the fact that he’s not the best player in the league right now so you know if you want to be considered in that Echelon you’re going to get P picked AP part and you know we’re gonna analyze every single part of his performance here but the one thing I don’t think anyone overlooks Jimmy is the fact that he’s top five at this point like that’s indisputable yeah I I I agree and you know the one thing about Jason that um indisputable is a strong word it is he’s right though top five in the he’s right name five over him you talk about like right I mean I’d have to think about it but where is you can name four over them yeah so that’s why I just feel like if you’re five then it’s hard to say it’s undisputable like if you are number five then it’s probably disputable but to your point he’s in that he’s in that category well it can be a gap right because like joic is one undisputable y right now in the MVP we have an MVP race like super here so we might as well just put it up right now yic Le’s MVP straw was this why Tatum went off I don’t know maybe Jason Tatum ranked fourth in it so what is it it’s joic SGA yanis Yannis Tatum and Luca that’s the that’s the five right now yeah oh yeah so luuka would be you know the guy in that conversation for the for the fifth spot but you know Tatum just beat him in the finals there so think that’s a pretty good feather in your cap but this is fair and the interesting thing shr that Bon temp’s noted here and he does this poll every year is that a third of the voters changed their mind this week and switched their vote to Giannis after he won the cup so maybe if Tatum went have got that cup Jimmy if tat okay well let’s let’s say this if if tat if let’s say the Celtics won the cup that would obviously you’d assume that that means guys like Tatum were playing well for the stretch of those games there’s more eyes on them and sure that’s called recency bias talk to me in two months if the Bucks go on another losing streak and things kind of change direction for them we’re having another completely different conversation so it’s it’s a fun thing to talk about for a couple minutes here like you know it gives it gives people something to to debate but the MVP isn’t getting named today for a reason there’s a lot of basketball to go at the end of the day I don’t think the Cup’s gonna have much of a say I mean it’s not gonna hurt certainly it’s not gonna hurt I don’t think we’ll be remembering the cup much in February yeah exactly I think that’s kind of the whole question people have with the cup is like what is it actually that you do here did you see they Rose the banner tonight I did not but that’s no they did not it was a basic tight font gray Banner that just said Times New Roman yeah they went Times New Roman on the banner oh no let me let me see if I can find it Times New Roman font 12 oh Jimmy that is that is so college essay dude I know did they like indent like did they yeah did they did like the little paragraph indent to start the banner it was the most basic Banner you could see if you can upload us the picture that we if am’s listening let’s get a picture I got it here that buck Banner ready here we go you got it all right oh boy messing with things here oh boy there you go yeah that that is is I’m feeling like I’m Is that real Is that real are we sure that’s real feels photosho doesn’t it are we sure that wasn’t just worldwide wob just making that Bobby we’re sure about this I’m almost certain it’s real that is the blandest banner I’ve ever seen NBA Cup champions they couldn’t even put Emirates on there or they couldn’t you know put their logo in there that is so bad I feel like we’re being duped I honestly feel like we’re being duped that’s how bad that is oh Amit says it’s real he fact checked it thank you Amit for fact checking it that is I mean honestly if that doesn’t sum up the NBA cup then I really I don’t really don’t like I think I just made my I think the Bucks just made all the points needed for like why the cup is bad yeah but and there you know yeah anyways I like the cup Giannis was great and you know what he performed at a level that I think was deserving of the shift in votes regardless I know it’s a little silly shirro to say oh he won the cup I’m voting Yannis but the the increase in play and winning 12 of 15 and all that I do think warranted it yeah but the the thing Bobby about the the whole you know Yannis and MVP and yish and all that is winning I mean it’s easier to get behind a guy for MVP if he’s winning and that’s the challenge that people who love what joic is doing and how unprecedented what he’s is doing are struggling with because it’s like yeah he’s probably having the best individual season was that make him the MVP cuz this team is at best mediocre at best and are we are you you saying the best player in the league is the leader of a mediocre team well that’s I mean yic right now I mean I’m let’s just put it this way I would not be surprised if he does not get MVP who would not be surprised especi especially if Denver continues to be a 500es team I think it’s gonna it will come into play certainly it’ll come into play at the end if they if they’re if they’re a non-factor team at the end of the season and I mean if we’re talking about them Miss not even maybe making the playoffs in they I don’t know how you could make that even if they’re even if they’re in a playing game I mean how how does that look your league the best player in your league is the eighth seed typically you’re above six I think Russ that year was six I want to say yeah I I just yeah I I can’t see Denver and joic you know being I can’t see joic being MVP if Denver doesn’t finish somewhere in the playoffs not outside of the playin they have to be above the playin format it’s just hard to imagine whether it’s Giannis whether it’s Shay who I think is deserving a mention here too despite his slip up in the cup that didn’t even count I I I I just have a hard time imagining Tatum winning because I have a hard time imagining Tatum ever winning it in this incarnation of the team and we’ve talked about this before I know Noah mentioned it a week ago or so that they’re so team oriented that they’re so equal opportunity that he doesn’t get to run it up like aluca does or like some of these other guys do to the point where he’d be running away statistically with this thing and that’s the debate you’ll have with yic right because he’s 314 and 10 just unprecedented stats that blow your mind when you look at them and a lot of times that’s going to be what sways people’s mind on this thing and of course his on off numbers are ridiculous and we just watch him and know he’s probably the most impactful guy in the league right now but to shad’s point you know when you have Tatum leading all the winning in Boston that they’re doing and if they’re going to be the best team in the league this season that’s something that has to go into account as well here and again I would not vote Tatum right now I can’t see him winning it this year will he ever win in his career maybe at some point down the line to me where able to carry this team but you know a lot of times this is who’s who’s carrying their team single-handedly like we saw with tat tonight we don’t see that to often with the Celtics no we don’t and they don’t they don’t need to I mean you’re right the team is not built for it’s not really it’s too good for an MVP it’s not he Helio Centric as they say right it’s too good for an MVP and that doesn’t say that Denver hasn’t had good teams they’ve had they’ve had great teams um when they won the finals they had a great team but they’ve they’ve they didn’t like their role players were not as talented as the Celtics quote unquote role players were right I mean you have you know you they’re they they probably had what who Am I who am I I’m missing um point guard that I love on Denver who’s not doing well Mur yeah Murray Murray had a great year the year they won the the finals but it’s interesting too because Tatum does have a story this year right we’ve talked about it with the Olympics and everything so yeah I that should be and also he got he got a hot hot start where he all of a sudden he was vaulted up to the top right off the bat but again phizz a little bit the shooting hasn’t been quite as as consistent as it should be um but if he can put together again more games like tonight which is not a hot take obviously he might re-enter into the top there the Celtics continue to win games at the rate they’re winning Cleveland comes back down to earth maybe a little bit and the Celtics can pull away in that East now all of a sudden shad’s argument comes in to play a little bit more with okay I

is a true story on prize picks just like that um talking about the MVP race Bobby you you want to talk about if Tatum’s ever going to have an opportunity he better do it soon because wemy is coming Wy is coming and when he wins one guess what he ain’t gonna stop there they’re gonna they’re gonna those are those MVPs might pile up in a Jeffy so uh if you’re Jason Tatum you either don’t care about the MVP or you might need to find another team because the zelics are too good for they’re too good for MVPs they’re just too good you know what though I think that I was interested to see what was going to happen this year if the players after winning a championship if they would kind of maybe focus on personal accolades now because they already had one I haven’t seen that yet you know I haven’t seen that I see a team that’s just business Richard running away with six man yeah yeah yeah but that’s also for the betterment of the team so we’ll take that but I don’t see herob ball I don’t see guys being selfish out there I see Team Basketball for the most part I mean you know you can’t argue with the with the numbers so far so um maybe down the line if they if they go back to back I don’t know what’s what’s important to them you know being a dynasty or getting MVPs Because unless you’re Michael Jordan it’s kind of hard to do both right but he should win one I mean given his talent given his standing in the league and just the Legacy he’ll have when his career ends guys at his level win at least one he’ll get one I me at some point he’ll get one just like Charles Barkley got one just like westbr got one you know um who yeah Tatum yeah he’ll get one I don’t know he’ll get one okay he’s gonna be in the running but I I mean there’s just there’s a lot of talent in the league and there’s some young gonna have to change Jimmy something gonna have to change I mean the roster he’ll have to carry them at some point yeah and it could happen in the near future here we have a lot of questions about where this roster is going MoneyWise into the future and more and more he and I think are going to have to be the ones who do carry this team within the next year or two here and not just wean on Talent around them it didn’t they but they’re going to need to be different players than they were before then because but they’re versatile they needed they needed the help around them they everyone knows they needed the help they wouldn’t have won a championship remember 2021 Jimmy it was frustrating and they were much worse players back then but they needed to run it up scored 60 points in a game that year to come back from down 25 30 points and win an overtime so we saw this from him at another time it’s still in there but again this team’s so good the fact I still can’t believe that I don’t know if I have it 100 per right I think I do he hasn’t scored 43 points Jimmy since January he had 41 in February but the last time he had 43 plus was January again it’s just not the style to play the Celtics play it’s just not it’s not and also how many games are they up by double digits to the point where it’s like he’s on the bench either on the bench or just not needed to do not nobody’s looking for a hero in that moment right down the stretch that’s kind of it’s like there’s not enough clutch situations right but you know there have been some clearly but um I don’t know you can’t get caught up in those numbers I mean I think I think Tatum has done a better job at giving what the game needs as opposed to forcing something and when you’ve got guys on your team that have stepped up like I mean Derek white is a big reason why Jason Tatum and Jaylen Brown haven’t needed to score 40 plus points right I mean Derek White’s kind of come on the scene here over the last two seasons talking about a guy who wasn’t even considered in the top 100 last year by ESPN we knew they were wrong but gives you an idea of just how quickly Derek white has come on the seen um you’ve got Pritchard now doing a lot of work and and taking on some of those the scoring onus and those you know some of the three-point shooting and porzingis it’s like and porz 20 when he’s out there it’s 40 minute we’re 41 minutes into this show and that’s the first time we mentioned boring this is why I wanted to Circle back to the game a little bit because when you talk about the forcefulness the bully ball Rod right he’s a big part of that right now offensively and I love the fact that you’re seeing them toss it inside to him again and again yeah yeah I mean he’s he’s to me he’s a very important uh piece of this offense being effective and efficient uh and I I think he’s you know he’s a hell of a player as we know and but there’s so much more that he’s bringing to the table that isn’t necessarily showing up in the stat sheets uh just his feel for the game uh and and just understanding angles and and how to get the ball and where it needs to be when it needs to be there uh and just not being deterred when you get scored on uh you’re not going to block every shot you’re not going to contest every shot sometimes guys are just going to get Buckets on you uh and porzingis he’s again he’s done I think a really good job overall of just embracing the fact that he’s not quite himself just yet but he’s pretty damn close to being you know a healthy version of of who he is and it’s just a matter of keeping him in that bubble wrap until the damn playoffs because these games between now and then they don’t have nearly as much value as porzingis is going to be when they get to the postseason sometimes Jimmy I’m watching him and I’m like is he moving great sometimes in this game I’m like watching him go up and down and I’m like oh this is a m aome built like a guy that doesn’t look like he’s moving like he’s just not a normal built human being he’s very and I do think he’s still getting used to the speed of The Game and his conditioning and all that too I I mentioned that a handful of games ago so I think as we’re into one or two more games here because they’re about to start getting getting into game off day game off day again I think we’ll start to see him at his more efficient self and more energized self in terms of getting up and down the floor and being having the stanina that we used to seeing from him because the shooting is down a little bit I feel like the movement and activity from him isn’t Peak form right and he’s only what eight games back into the lineup and he’s been hurt a couple times already so he’s getting there and the fact that he’s already here is a great sign and I do think they need him more we’ve debated this Jimmy right do they need him clearly they didn’t last year right up until the finals where you gave them a massive bump but they didn’t need him they could get by without him I think another year deeper in Horford’s career I think given some of the rim protection problems we saw early on from them when he was out and I mean they said it on the radio when I was listening earlier Jimmy they came into this game 20th in field goal percentage can you believe that they haven’t been super efficient shooting the ball this year and sometimes just throwing it into porzingis getting that mismatch shooting it over a guy and know easiest we know why their efficiencies you know it’s the outside shooting right I mean yeah and it’s down it’s down this year we’ve talked about they’re shooting more threes that’s dropping percentage points off their three-point efficiency and a game like this I do think shows some good balance for everybody about you know just their overall shot distribution and I do Wonder shirro are they gonna have 50 plus threep pointers per game at the end of this year that’s a great question it’s a great question I think they will why wouldn’t they why would they change I mean unless let me let me change my let me let me rephrase unless teams make them change why would they change this kind of I want this is I don’t want to sound Boomer here but I’m already so annoyed with the with the three-point chatter like it’s too many threes G the game isah blah all this stuff you don’t change the rules of the game because you don’t like the way it’s being played right you change the way that you’re playing the game so if you don’t like the Celtics T taking 60 threes a game and you’re coming into town to play the Celtics watch the film figure out how to prevent them from taking all those threes and try to beat them another direct another way or if if if you’re equipped to try to fight fire with fire then try to fight fire with fire good luck to you I don’t don’t think there’s a team remotely close to Boston in terms of the amount of players that can hit a three in any given moment one through eight if Howers if how’s healthy I like my chances maybe not as much with holiday right now but generally speaking I like my chances but all this I go on Twitter I got to see people all these like cocki ideas and I can’t I can’t listen to another wack I’m done with it it it goes back to what we said in the last show if you don’t like how something’s done figure out a way to stop it from happening I don’t think we’ve asked you shro how do you feel about the conversation now do they need to change a rule do teams need to adjust like what’s gonna have come out of this whole three-point debate that’s been going on no I I I don’t think they need to do anything drastic um it’s about Evolution I mean it’s it’s not like the Celtics are this complete Oddity that they’re shooting a lot of Threes everyone is shooting a lot more threes because the numbers Greg L take I guess I have an L take I’d like to know why though why is this such an L take what do you want Greg what’s your proposal I will say if I’m and I know they’re rebuilding about to rebuild they’re going to trade some of these guys but you know if I’m a bulls fan I’m thrilled that they went from 333s to 42 or whatever they’re shooting this year they look so much better don’t they yeah they’re a tougher team to defend now because before you know you really didn’t have to worry about when the ball was swinging around and it swung to a guy in the corner behind a three-point line or a guy on the wing um you know behind a three-point line they’re not going to shoot now but it is your personnel too and you know they have personnel with the Mario rose and you’re probably shooting more mid-rangers and uh Pritchard said this morning you know again a shooter on know it was there Celtics should probably take a lot of Threes he said other teams maybe you shouldn’t take a lot of Threes it’s it’s Personnel based and I think Joe said that too Jimmy that if they had different Personnel if they didn’t have these shooters they wouldn’t be taking as many threes that wouldn’t be their approach but it’s interesting because you know when you have guys who are a little down Jimmy Howser’s been out all year he’s struggling to find himself a little bit you know you have porzingis Tatum some guys who might be more effective close to the basket more often that’s why I asked Rod that question about are you taking 53s at the end of the year I think they will be I think it’s gonna depend who’s there for them right who’s healthy who’s shooting well I mean even Drew we’ve talked about his shooting struggles and I feel like he’s going inside a little more often now is he tries to manage his offense so the more I think about it Jimmy like we can’t just talk like this is last year’s team because to this point it’s been a little different in terms of how this year’s progressed yeah they just I I think to to your point Bobby they I think they’ll what they’re starting to figure out and I touched on this earlier is that they don’t have to necessarily shoot a ton of Threes to beat teams right they can actually play bully ball from time to time or they can keep with their traditional three-point shot taking you know 50 plus per game uh or they can lean on a mid-range and and and you know utilize that real estate between a three-point line in a basket the Celtics right now are a team that has the ability to just basically beat your ass in a lot of different ways and they are not going to change between now in the playoffs in that regard the only thing that they have to I think significantly get better at is just not for they need to get better at forcing teams to make changes versus them having to make changes because you know they looked at that film of of the Chicago game first one and just realized well damn why don’t we just just go to the cup and finish let’s just attack let’s be aggressive let’s you know not settle for the three-point shot uh and L beh ho you do that you go to Chicago beat him at 25 they can still beat you by 25 and 30 points and not attack the rim by simply making threes because that’s part of their DNA so they are a team that has to figure out which blueprint to lean into to be successful because they have more than one path towards Victory regardless of who they play facts my dog um Sher I know you got to get out of here you got an early flight tomorrow we do appreciate you jump jumping on what we’re going to do is we’re going to say so long to you and then I’m going to do an ad read I think Noah’s going to jump on uh shortly hopefully I haven’t actually heard from her I don’t know if Bobby you have but she is in Chicago she’ll be coming on shirro any final thoughts on this game or the Celtics going into Christmas here you got you got a Christmas wish for the Celtics or anything like that you want to give us same one same when every year stay healthy uh and that goes for them health and happiness for the Celtics is that what you’re saying damn about that happiness Jimmy it’s about staying healthy man if you’re healthy you’re happy put it that way right Health you’re happy you get to a certain age health health is wealth baby it is all about health man it is all about health you you will know one day young butterfly you will learn one day hey um no yeah but not just go into that game and and just handle your business stay healthy get the winning and keep the train moving and then just understand that there’s you know you there’s a reason why you have a [ __ ] uh there’s a reason why you have guys with different skill sets lean into that you know and finish the season strong get those guys more confidence and then again pick up where you left off in 2025 and and just finish this thing out and win another chip that’s it that’s it that’s it and on that note shro we say Merry Christmas because Shad is not going to make it on the Christmas show he’s he’s he’s gonna be uh giving out presents I think to friends and his family I heard he’s got a lot of great gifts this year he went he went he went big for his wife this year so she’s expecting isah getting something big he’s he

all you know at least get something back for yourself you know first day of winter here in Boston actually in everywhere in America not just in Boston although it feels like winter here we got that snowstorm last night I’m here for it we got that snowstorm last night you wanna you want to just use that built earn some points and just get the F out of here go someplace warm wouldn’t even take it that talking like two hours you’re warm it’s like crazy how quickly we could just be warm and happy but instead it’s like 30 degrees right now and it’s like windy and guess what speaking of like Apartments I’m not going to say where I live but I have a big bone to pick with like the maintenance crew because it is a sheet of ice all the way down the walkway as soon as you walk out my door it’s a complete sheet of ice they didn’t shovel they didn’t shoveling yesterday Jimmy you were out there shoveling it’s a good workout though gets the cardio up gets the heart rate pump in yeah I don’t hate it be out there late at night and some music and and just come uh I’ll give you my address you can come shovel shovel us out over here if you don’t what’s built he says dude I just told you I just told you go rewind the read it was Flawless by the way speaking of getting away Noah is out there in Chicago I think she avoided the snow got out there early before it started yesterday and I don’t think there’s any snow in Chicago but I did hear on the broadcast that it’s eight degrees there the windy Windy City Bal me e you know it’s called the Windy City not because it’s windy why fun little fun fact it has to do with like a guy I think his last name was windy or something it is windy there though I know but I was stunned too it has nothing they call it the windy city but it has nothing to do with the fact that it’s windy don’t fact check me on that but I think that’s I think that’s true um what was I just saying um damn well I got a question for you well it was important what I was gonna say was very important but it’ll come back to me so go on so second game in a row I think seventh game this season no Sam Hower where you at on the Panic meter oh that’s a great question let’s you know what Bobby you can’t ask that question without giving the people what they want and what they really kind of need look at [Music] this are you in xan’s territory where he’s like on fire I don’t think I’m there yet but I’ll tell you what I’m not like in the yellow right I’m not in the green yeah I’m like floating around yellow orange right now because it’s a back and when you’re talking about a back let’s be real the back is a very complicated part of the body I don’t want to get too scientific on everybody here you go here’s another panic meter I’m in the I’m firic meter oh look at Noah yeah Noah actually definitely belongs there she’s never had a care in the world apparently um speaking of I think she might be popping on but um it’s good to get her on because if she has zero Panic about Hower then she she lacks like the nerves like in her body to feel I think so here here’s the Panic regardless of the reason here she is here’s Noah from Chicago heard you heard that you have no you have no like feelings what do you think of the new Panic meter Noah I’ve seen this Panic meter before it’s on new you like it you look good in those green goggles I’m with it I’ve earned it I’ve earned it yeah um I’m I’m not because it’s my face although shout out me I’m in the yellow right now when it comes to Hower because it’s a back it’s not like a toe or it’s not like a finger the back is a complicated thing let’s be real here I mean I’ve heard I’ve got some friends who are nurses and doctors they’ll tell you you don’t want to mess with the back and it’s still the worst quote of the Year Noah that he said when it when it first happened it’s probably just from playing basketball for a long time what’s the quote that’s what he said the back inj hates that quote the back injuri is probably just from all these years of playing basketball so it’s one of those things where they they’ve never actually said how it happened right well nothing happened I think he just over the summer started feeling back pain um and he you know this is just kind of how it goes like you’re is just how it goes like I don’t think it’s that concerning um what do you she’s in the green Jimmy no no no no I’m yellow I’m yellow we did it Bobby and I did a post game about this and I did admit I think this is much more concerning than the Tatum injury or the Drew holiday knee and the foot sprain like of all the things this is stuck out because it feels kind of recurring um that being said I don’t think that him saying that it’s from playing basketball a lot is concerning that’s kind of what they always say um so no that’s not the concerning part that’s not I’m yellow I’m yellow I’m yellow I’m not green okay good how could you not be he’s been he’s been dealing with this since the summer now um right no we are yeah and the concern I think is a two-part concern it’s concern for him and it’s a concern because there’s nobody really behind him that can take just gonna go there yeah okay so take it from take it from here what did they do tonight Noah wasn’t Walsh wasn’t Springer wasn’t Peterson then they just put Luke out there and said all right we’re double biging we we’re double big tonight right um yeah I mean we’ve talked about it they didn’t yeah they didn’t turn to any of those guys Peterson remains in Maine they’re in the g-league Showcase right now so I don’t know I guess they prioritize having him over there um but he he hasn’t been with this team since you know over a week now um but yeah Jordan Walsh Jaden Springer neither of those guys in the rotation today um yeah I think what we talked about last game stands that that’s still the kind of the biggest question if there’s a question with this roster that’s the question um and again I don’t think we have any reason to like freak out about how’s injury but certainly like it’s the only thing that really there is to worry about right now so I understand why did you see him at shooter run today he was a shoot around he didn’t do anything that I saw he was just like hanging out um so I don’t know he might have gotten shots up but not when we were there but he was here he was actually in the first group that walked in so I’m assuming he did something and uh did Joe say anything about it today no he did not say anything but you know Joe has the same line and he’s not sure you know we weren’t going to get anything out of it but um I will acknowledge thank you for the the Super Chat I I’ve never I don’t know where this came from I I actually like still have not figured out where this joke began that I I hate Jason Tatum but oh it’s a joke you hate Jason Tatum I don’t know where it started it started one show when I joined and I went back and rewatched the show and it didn’t even make any sense to me where it started but um yeah the consider it consider it acknowledged okay yeah I mean think Statum himself so he must it’s safe to say that if you did you currently don’t at least so what do you think of the game Noah obviously it’s just a Tatum game yeah you’re there you might as well we might as well talk about the game since you went all the way there to watch it for us yeah I mean I thought it was probably Tatum’s best game of the season if not best game in I don’t know it was it was it was just kind of a perfect game and so it was super impressive to to watch I thought the most impressive part was that he didn’t start on the heater he kind of just worked his way into one um and then all of a sudden you looked up and you realized the stline that he was putting together and it was really in that third quarter I mean he was seven of eight in that third quarter with four assists 18 points you know in that period and kind of turned turned the game from a back and forth to an absolute blowout um and then the rest of the way they kind of carried him through and you know finally got that triple double but I think this was really the Jason Tatum game there’s no other way to really put it I think even we were talking porzingis post came about what stood out um in this game and and what necessar you know what was different than the previous one and he kind of was like well we still didn’t shoot grade um but yeah Jason Tatum was was great so I think that was kind of the big distinction and obviously I think there’s things they did better Zack LaVine didn’t have a massive night the way he did the other night either so that helped but um but yeah it was it was just really fun to watch in person that type of performance also I had good seats but much better than I have in Boston so I had a really good angle for the show yeah um so so it was fun to watch but I think it just a reminder that you know he’s not always putting up numbers but certainly like I think when he does it highlights the his impact but everybody kind of talked postgame about this is what his impact is a lot of times and you just don’t always see it um what did Tatum talk after the game Noah sorry he he did I wasn’t in there for it but he he spoke after the game okay so we don’t know exactly what was said but probably nothing I mean let’s be honest probably nothing substantial probably put would have put you to sleep if you we talked to him this morning um and he was kind of what you would expect not he was not concerned about the other night uh was kind of saying that they were just going to go back to the drawing board he was excited that there was another a back toback I would have I would love to look at what happens when they lose the first the front end of a back-to-back um you know a double header against the team if like they always come back and win with the exception of Atlanta last year and Joe Tes miniscus in turn um but yeah I know he talked about the knee this morning do you think that impacted him to the stretch where he was slowing down a little bit there Midway through the month or earlier this month and do you think this is him starting to warm up toward a heater going forward I think so I thought that his comments this morning about his knee were really encouraging uh the fact of the matter is that he you know he said you know he’s feeling a lot better which already that’s that’s a good sign that it’s on on the decline um but also I think he said it was just tendonitis it’s something that they deal with every year I feel like you know it’s not super unusual um but he looked he looked a little bit slow he looked a little bit bothered by and um obviously today he didn’t he looked kind of great throughout the one thing I will say I think he found his rhythm um with not the three-pointers it’s kind of weird to say because he took 153 today and he made nine and obviously that’s what stood out but that actually to me like he worked his way with the dunks with the drives and so if there is a takeaway I actually think like he he and Jaylen and and porzingis they all said postgame like that it wasn’t an intentional effort to go downhill but I think it seemed that way um and it definitely seemed like when they couldn’t hit threes like they were finding their rhythm otherwise so Tatum’s at his best I think when he sees the ball go through the rim a couple times before he starts taking threes and uh you kind of saw that um it wasn’t just the Tatum show we talked about it for a little bit but um don’t want to forget porzingis since you were there to watch him in person Bobby’s a little he’s like Bobby’s a little off on the way I just don’t think we’re seeing him at 100% yet but I I’m not like I think he’s fine I asked him postgame if he feels like he’s 100% And he said no um I think so soab gets the point there but he said he feels like he’s obviously getting better but he said that we’ll know and that he’ll let us know when he’s at 100% um and then honestly like I think the biggest thing is that the stamina is not quite there still I think the rhy them has shock doesn’t feel great he was like I’m probably being really critical but I think that that is yeah I think that you know he looks to me like 85% of the way there which is pretty good considering how much time he missed but I think he’s hard on himself and he feels like he is going to yeah he’s going to you know make more progress from here on out which is a good thing because we’re already seeing a pringus that I think is is not super noticeable you know but we’re getting I mean listen 22 and eight 22 and seven tonight two blocks um the blocks are great yeah he look he’s aggressive physical out there he’s given you like 20 plus points a game for the most part right I mean it’s pretty consistent in that sense I don’t know if you’re going to get 30 and 10 from him like not no it’s l about the numbers Jimmy I think it’s more about the efficiency shooting the ball and the way he gets up and down the court even the ways they utilize him defensively now I feel like they’re just having him back at the basket right now there’s not too much switching there’s not too much scheming him off you know poor Shooters and stuff like that that we saw last year and that’s fine I think they need that I think it’s the reason at one point I looked and they were number one at protecting the rim I think like six games after he got back so I like the fact that he’s just back there protecting the rim and blocking shots but I do feel like once we start to see him used in different positions that’s when we’ll know he’s physically back to who he is um yes sorry I was just doing a little producing thing there um Noah one thing Bobby mentioned earlier in the show was that Pritchard spoke this morning and talked about fact of how they had like a team meeting is type deal that had to do with how they kind of did the ref how they reacted to the refereeing in the last game can you go into a little bit of detail about that or do you need to move and do you want to talk about it after no I’m I’m okay where I am I just don’t know if it’s too distracting for the viewers no it’s fine we like to look at the cleaning cre I feel like you’re getting a really immersive experience you really I’m on the ground here yeah um I probably could have found an empty room I was just like oh they haven’t switched the court over the green screen is working overtime behind it’s all good um so on that note yeah Pritchard said this morning that he felt like they could do a better job of kind of keeping their pool the refs are not going to be perfect um and that they know that and I think percher is one of the guys that complains the least about the refs I actually can’t really remember him complaining much at all now that I think about it like obviously I think the Stars complain more and that’s just the nature of things but he’s really yeah he’s really not it’s not his thing and he made clear that he thinks that it’s something that they could do kind of better with um Joe was asked about a pregame and he was like I I I don’t think he really wanted to go into it but I don’t think he necessarily felt like it was a huge point of emphasis um and he also was asked about it’s fine and and kind of said like you know those are the rules and that’s the way that it works well he was to blame yeah the most overt complaining yeah so yeah so I think it was a watching that I hadn’t watched the replay when he first said the Christmas line like the merry Christmas things I was like I wonder what he said and then I went back and watched the video and I realized how funny it was was this Joe’s first fine uh I can’t think of another one not that I because he’s normally really careful he’s careful with what he says to us postgame he doesn’t like he always has like the tri comments or like the quips rather than you know complaining so it’s if it was going to be something it was going to be something on the floor um and luckily you know today they didn’t it was not a factor the fact that they were you know the refereeing was not a factor I thought one time Tatum got hacked on a dunk I tweeted the video but and right after that like he immediately like did his thing with the refs and then he like kind of paused um and I don’t know if that’s looking too far into it but I felt like no I think they talked about it before the game they did talk they talk PR told us they talked about it but I didn’t know how much it resonated with people like you know talked about it could me a couple different things um but it was clear he made like a his Instinct was to complain and then he like stopped right the middle of and and just got back on defense and I was like okay I think tonight was a wake up game like they haven’t been playing their best they clearly got distracted down the stretch of that game and fell apart and this was them tightening up here and I hope they can carry it forward and and do it over an extended stretch here and I think next week’s a good week to be able to sweep through the teams that they see uh playing at a high level but it’s probably good that that happened there because you’re hitting threes you know you’re you’re basically sleepwalk through what’s been a relatively easy schedule I feel like and then all of a sudden the Bulls come out of nowhere and punch you there and you’re pissed at the refs and you know obviously all the stuff going on off the court this week too that you know I think probably shook them a little bit as well I I think that was a good night to be able to say all right you know let’s let’s come together here play the way we can and you know I I find what you said earlier interesting about getting downhill in this game though and whether that was a concerted effort I think it had to happen because you missed all those threes on Thursday this game felt like it was going in a similar Direction and this was shad’s big point after the the game they just enforced their will inside whether it was Tatum whether it was porzingis good offensive rebounding too through some stretches with the Double Bs I love the fact that they shifted inside this game and of course you know set tting him up for the shots later um

what time is it Bobby game time game time and you’ve got Celtics on Christmas you’ve got a couple Bruins games coming up next week so that’s always fun around the holidays and if you’re maybe you’re watching the show from a different part of the country and you’re a big college football fan tons of college football games to choose from great one I think there’s a lot of Celtics fans down Orlando too on Monday from what I remember being down there before sure little you know parlay hey honey what do you say we take the kids to Disney World huh I just feel like I want to go to Disney World get off the plane ditch the family go to the game you know what I mean like see you like all right I got you I got you and the kids like dinner with Mickey I’m out the door I’m going to the Celtics game just want I talk about them for a second well uh while we wait for Noah to come back oh there she is talk about what Disney I told you it was called no not Disney the magic oh the magic what do you want to talk about magic everyone’s hurt so there nothing to talk about everyone’s hurt what do you want to talk about it just bums me out because this is a game Monday’s game is a whiff we’re gonna I didn’t even remember it until I just looked I was just thinking about the Christmas game like let’s just get past monday that’s a trap well that’s what they can’t do it’s but magic are almost so where it’s like not even a trap game but I so they won tonight I think against who um I forget who they beat but they won Cole Anthony went off they beat the heat who are who are kind of falling apart here but I can’t believe this injury situation no Vagner goes down today the other Vagner fron Vagner was already hurt Suggs is hurt he missed this game with how about this I’m sorry to cut you off but magic didn’t just win tonight they tied a franchise record with a 25o comeback yeah they outscored the scored the heat in the fourth quarter 37 to8 and they won and they won by seven so that is a collapse uh that you will be reading about in Miami for sure and our old friend there call led the way Butler out with a stomach illness according to this statute that I’m looking at here so anyways go on you want to talk about the magic you have 30 seconds Noah is on mute Noah is on mute or no she’s not though that’s troubling Noah figure out your audio no but I want to say Jimmy this is a game you would have circled on your calendar and said this G this team’s given the Celtics trouble in the past one of the best defenses in the league a ton of length a bunch of players you can throw at Brown and Tatum and see how they disrupt the Celtics and I just don’t think there’s enough left on that team to take anything from this game now you’re not going to see them much this year so that’s the bummer of this game and I was reading the other day that Paulo is not even that close to returning he hasn’t even been cleared for contact yet and I think he went down at the beginning of November so he’s been out for a long time now let’s see here all right let’s go over the magic starting lineup tonight it was you might not recognize two of the guys at least Wendell Carter Tristan dilva Anthony black I don’t even like I don’t want to say this guy’s name because people are gonna like call me a casual Goa I can’t Goga batad vat thank you and then so good pronouncing names yeah he is he’s so good at that he was on your faers Jimmy you should know him I know I just I haven’t said the last name in a while so I didn’t want to just blurt it out there he’s physical how about how about how about Cole Anthony Off the Bench with them tonight though 35 points eight rebounds nine assists so he had been playing in Forever is there any chance they could strink something together no or the Celtics just might Overlook them oh yeah I mean I feel like trying to predict a Celtics loss is is difficult because we know historically it’s when the stars are out I think this would make sense as a loss like I I wouldn’t be stunned but because they lost two of three prior to this game I think they’re G to go in a little bit of a stretch here um I think they’re going to go in a little bit of a win streak so I would be surprised if they lost because of just the pretense of of them having dropped a few um but yeah magic being without Stars honestly has no impact on me as far as predicting if he can stay in the court maybe he does something for they’ve been so impressive I checked into that game earlier when you said they won I was about to correct you because they were down by so much I didn’t think it was possible but you’re about to correct me oh that would have yeah been very bad for you very bad for you if Suggs can get out there to I don’t know how seriously he’s H but uh he’s he’s a problem defensively and you mentioned Isaac Jimmy and there’s just so much say Goa is so physical yeah 18 and 13 tonight it looks like I mean listen it’s the NBA you you you you have to show up right you can’t just expect that A team’s going to roll over these guys are at the end of the day they’re in they’re the most talented basketball players in the world sure they’re underman and they’re gonna be Celtics are going to be favored to win by double digits um but you can’t just not show up to the game or else you will get run off the court that’s just that’s facts so I’m sure they know this they don’t need to be at 100% the Celtics you know they could probably you know shoot their way even if they do shoot freaking 30% theya a good example figure out a way to do it right um no I imagine you’re going to that one right that’s why no what am I talking about you’re in Chicago I’m in Chicago I’m dreaming of going to this one Jimmy but I’m not why are you dreaming you could just do it it’s 18 degrees here Orlando it’s probably gonna be like 75 in Chicago gelo’s watching jelo can we get can we get Bobby on a flight to Florida please what is the guy gonna do I’ll be in Miami before long route Noah get them both down there and you know report from the Magic Kingdom little You Gotta Wear Mouse ears Bobby on the whole time would you do it yeah Disney guy growing up yeah that I can really see I can really see you in the in the costume for for the show way too easy for you to say yes I’m not going to do the whole costume I just wait the ears you’ll just go Mouse ears yeah you’ve actually worn way worse that’s bucket hat territory though if I was down in Orlando I think it’d be a bucket hat what I mean by way worse I’ve seen it way worse um what else Noah you’re there what did Joe have to say us we got the Tatum clip did he have anything else important to say after this one or did you were you able to chat with anybody else either before it was it was a lot of Tatum honestly I think that was kind of the theme of this game um I’m trying to think if there’s anything else notable I think he felt like process-wise he really didn’t have as many issues with the Thursday game as maybe we would have thought like I think he thought that they made some mistakes but he didn’t he didn’t hate their approach uh the way that we saw maybe after the Atlanta loss uh which I thought was pretty brutal game honestly just the fourth quarter and just the way things went arai but that was his reflection after this game you know kind of comparing the two uh that he just kind of liked where they were at um and I think yeah that was honestly like we did five minutes with Joe I think maybe four and a half of it was about Tatum um and just about how he feels like because of him playing in Boston and because of the success that he achieved at a young age um and because he’s been so consistent that he kind of makes it makes it easy that he just feels he’s overlooked and he’s overlooked in the MVP conversation and he’s overlooked just kind of in general um and KP uh really affirmed that one funny thing postgame was K porzingis was saying that he thinks rebounds get stolen from him um and that they give porzingis was saying yeah that porzingis thing to say yeah I posted the clip but he he was talking about how um he thinks that he has to get 13 rebounds for the NBA to give him a double double and he’s the only player in the league in that situation and that he they give them to Tatum so I hate the rebounding thing and Tatum is in that position now and I’m not going to knock him for it because I know he’s a good rebounder but it feels like there’s one guy on every team who’s designated to get all the rebounds and it’s just but no but he’s saying that he got the rebounds they just don’t give them to him in the statute that’s his claim so we gotta go back and uh tally those up because that’s kind of a bold claim I don’t think he feels like Tatum is stealing them out of his hand that’s not what he said um he said that he had he doesn’t get recorded he was looking at a statute and he was like again this happened to me um our rebounds this is just like a just gonna throw this random thought out there are rebounds becoming less important the stat the stat itself I think the number I think the number doesn’t tell you the story like for box score Watchers and I know a lot of people this I mean this has been part of the whole ratings conversation like there’s been a big discussion around you know what people aren’t watching I think one of the biggest things that you lose when you’re just looking at the stat sheet is you can think that whoever had double digit rebounds impacted the game the most on that end and a lot of times guys like Pritchard and Drew holiday might have like five or six rebounds but they actually had the most impressive or impactful plays of the night yeah um I don’t want to diminish Tatum’s rebounding he had some contested ones but it’s always funny like I feel like the uncontested rebounds where you were just standing there should almost be in a separate column on the stat sheet because that that’s that’s counted as a rebound and so is you know battling somebody and getting an offensive rebound that is you know the offensive ones is so much more important yeah or but even really contested defensive ones where you’re crashing and if you didn’t crash and you wouldn’t your team wouldn’t have gotten The Possession so um there’s probably will be or there is stats for that that we that we’ll have to talk about soon Jo Joe has them yeah there’s like stats for everything now like we laughed about like the hockey assist stat like five years ago and now that’s like a real thing oh are you laughing yeah well we tend to laugh about pretty much everything and then it becomes like a real thing and we can’t laugh about it anymore so that’s kind of how it starts but I agree with this the tip out rebounds tip out rebounds like the guy the tip the B doesn’t get the credit usually it’s the person who just kind of caught it so well I saw one like the beginning of the game I think I think Tatum actually lost the rebound because it ended up he tipped it to like Jaylen and Jaylen ended up scoring on the on the drive so I mean it was it was a nice play but Jaylen got credit for the rebound there which wasn’t really anything like and the reason why reason why I originally asked is because also the three-pointers so you’re getting guys that are just standing around the three-point line taking threes there’s four Defenders just waiting for a rebound and then it just kind of Falls to them and okay you got the rebound congratulations but there wasn’t like it’s like you said Noah you’re gonna have to watch and see what kind of rebound it was I think yeah I think offensive rebounding is becoming a bigger deal and I’ve said it a million times I think it’s the most underrated thing about the Celtics is that they’re so aggressive in that area and you have to be you know shooting that many threes yeah you’re gonna miss 60% of your shots even on your best night so you gota be able to go get them for second chance I think they’re timely with it they don’t get a ton and I know they always want to get more but that’s an underrated part of their ESS everyone talks about the threes I think they’re at their best a great offensive rebounding team and I know that’s something Joe’s been talking about them need to get better at all year because again Noah if you’re gon to shoot 100 threes You’re Gonna Miss 60 so gotta be able to go get it I’m gonna read I’m gonna read Noah’s tweet on porzingis that she had mentioned as she said christas porzingis had a funny bit about feeling like his rebounds get stolen from the box score it looks like they quote it looks like they stole a couple of my rebounds and gave them to Tatum I’m the only player in the league that has to get 12 or 13 rebounds to so Noah are you reporting that just to be clear are you reporting there’s like a little Rift here between specifically I know how Twitter works now specifically I wrote that it was a funny bit because otherwise I know how the quot tweets go and people start to freak out it feels like there’s some an in a matter of weeks porzingis has gone at Tatum for the rebound yeah that’s literally how he is who he thought he was ex cancer room uh clubhous whatever they call it used to call well we talked about him uh saying that brown should have shot the half court shot a couple weeks ago know and then Brown has been taking them did you notied that tonight he had one that he missed um and then the other day he had I want him back in card’s hands but I’m glad he’s like taking them to like redeem himself from that incident um it was very clearly was very clearly a joke yeah it was it was very clearly a joke he also had a moment postgame where um you know it was he was someone someone asked him about how they haven’t lost consecutive games this season and is at a point of emphasis um and he said that it hasn’t been a point of emphasis it’s not something that they’re trying to do and that there’s highs and lows of a season and last year there was this one time and then he was like actually I don’t need to get into that post game and I was like what were we gonna say like it looked like he was going to tell us about some low that they experienced last season um so he’s he’s he’s pretty comfortable Jing around and I don’t think he’s as held back like that’s why he he makes the jokes but also he’s almost like about to say something that he’s not supposed to sometimes he loves doing that yeah I remember asked year I asked him uh why he stayed so healthy at the start of the year and he was like lunges and uh I’ll tell you the rest of them other time so yeah um real quick I’m glad he’s back he’s the most exciting guy to talk to on the team we yeah it feels like that it just feels like he’s got the best like I don’t want to say attitude because I’m not saying anyone has a bad attitude he’s the least held back he’s the least yeah yeah yeah maybe it’s like a cultural thing I feel like a lot of the athletes at least in America they’re they’re like they come up thinking that they should not like the media or something like that and so they just kind not say too much yeah not say anything and maybe honestly like they’re probably fair to think that way because I mean no in this era no one knows you can get your words twisted pretty quickly you know sometimes you say something off the cuff and it gets printed so you got I actually have learned that the hard way like multiple times in the last year so I can only imagine if I feel that way how would the players feel yeah um but I think there’s going to be a little bit of a swing back this is a little bit of a adjacent topic but I think a lot of stars are getting so PR trained that they’re really not exhibiting much personality and I actually think eventually they’re going to swing back a little bit more and it’s going to be encouraged to actually break out of your shell because I think guys getting penalized for it I hear this about Jaylen Brunson all the time people say like why is he not this big superar he brutal and he’s he’s tough but I listen to his podcast with Josh Harden he actually has a really good personality so he’s just not kind of showing that to the media and in turn he actually takes a hit from it um and so in Anthony Edwards somebody that says crazy things all the time like he you know he benefits from it he really does and even when it’s stuff that’s like against his teammates or things that could be taken as controversial so I think of in the next few years it’s going to be um it’s GNA be a little bit of a swing back because stars are going to realize it’s actually hurting them in the long term and I think we’re in the in the thick of that right now where everybody’s so media trained that it’s actually impacting their perceptions did you just I know you didn’t just like promote another podcast on our podcast right you didn’t just did oh yeah the roommates the roommates podcast it’s it’s a good one it’s a good I I love play podcast I always want to know what well that’s the thing is like why would a player talk to you not no offense to you but if they can just start their own podcast and say whatever they want and then edit it the way they want and not have it be twisted that’s the problem it’s it’s it’s that it’s not a problem it’s it’s just the way it is now you know players and teams teams have their own media people right they control their own narrative they put out what they want to put out and now players have a voice that they don’t have to rely on the newspaper reporter and nobody has to wait for the newspaper to come out in the morning to read what was said you know so it’s just it’s the world we live in today so I don’t know I to your point no I do think that maybe guys will start to maybe come out of their show a little bit more hopefully but we’re in a world now where athletes can and rightfully so they can control what they say and who says it and how and what platform it goes out on I mean the players tribute you go down the line on on athletes sort of taking it upon themselves to control their own narrative which is fair um but we like to think that we still have you know a good I think think you guys have good relationships with these players and can and can and do accurately tell uh their stories and and what goes on so the media they’re trying to kill the media but we’re going down swinging if we’re going down that’s for sure well I think actually jayen Brunson is a good example because he doesn’t have a great rap as far as like being a charismatic Superstar despite the fact that he utilizes his own medium to tell his story on his own podcast that’s very successful so it doesn’t quite make up for the fact that you have a very kind of stoic um you know demeanor talking to the Press I think it’s still that’s what people see postgame people turn on their postgame show on NBC and they watch the little clips and that’s ultimately what sticks um one thing on tatums to to just to go back to Tatum because we have him on the lower the here and then we’ll probably wrap it in a few minutes but sherat off the top was quick to comment or or commend the Celtics on being like physical tonight called it bully ball and I think Tatum obviously played a massive part in that did you something that you notice is that something that maybe they could have looked at the film last game and said you know what we can’t Lo if we’re we can’t you know just rely as much on you know this is what happens when we miss these many threes if we’re not going to be physical and not try to take it to the rim 100% yeah I think honestly again because I had such a better C2 I can like really see the physicality you can see the fouls not being called and everything but the fans here in Chicago were booing the entire time and complaining about how soft the Bulls were were playing and a lot of people around me were yelling like you’re just going to let them push you around like they’re bullying you guys and that was the sentiment from just being here in the building that the home fans felt like the Celtics were really kind of plowing through them and being the more physical team and I thought Jaylen actually Jaylen set the tone early when we didn’t hear from him postgame but and he didn’t put up you know a crazy stat line but in that first quarter he had nine points and he was he he wasn’t super efficient but he was taking it to the basket being really really physical and I think that helped set the tone um so I actually like I like when he starts that way I think that’s always the the best thing for the team because it it just kind of keeps the defense honest um and then it kind of opens things up for everybody else what do you think of his standing in the straw pole we talked about it earlier tatums was he fifth fourth fourth ahead of Luca and uh behind joic Yannis yeah yeah it’s tough honestly this is like one of my least favor conversations because we don’t seem to have a consensus as a country or as a media about what MVP is hey there’s a team in Canada okay as a National Basketball Association because some years you have to have one of the top seeds and if not it’s like sucks that you’re having a good year because you’re on a team that’s not winning enough in which case Giannis and yic both are not on super winning teams right now I mean I know the Bucks are turning things around but if you’re looking at those two teams records they’re still they’re not oh I mean what’s what’s what’s the nagas record at this point 14 and 13 1411 so there there are the six seed and then the Bucks are 15 and 12 so I’m surprised that you can still have that that can be W the cup though yeah geez Bobby enough enough enough don’t care I don’t want to see I don’t want to hear that anymore it’s over and I don’t the no did you see the banner I don’t even want to call it a ban no it was so ug I thought it was fake I I saw I was scrolling through Twitter and I was like there’s no way this is real we thought it was fake too honestly I I think it would have been better off for the league if it was fake but but I thought Joe actually said something postgame that kind of resonated with me is that it’s not Tatum might not be the most dominant player he’s like he’s not the most dominant player right now um but that people take for granted how he fits with his team and I think that’s what I’ve been trying to get at is that I feel like people have this this feeling of like if you put Giannis on this team instead of Tatum or if you put SG or if you put Luca on this team like the team would be better and that’s where I disagree um maybe maybe he’s not as dominant as them and if MVP is like a dominance stats award then um he’s not going to be in the running or he’s not going to be legitimately in the running um that’s an interesting way to look at it would you rather have X you know player X and you can’t take for granted that a guy in his prime is going to be willing to play the way the Tatum has played and that he’s gonna be able to be so versatile and guard one through five and kind of do everything that’s asked of him and never like KP said like a lot of guys they say they’re about winning but they’re not and so this is the thing I’m not saying I’m not pushing for Tatum MVP right now because I just don’t know that he’s done enough but a lot of times it has been the best player on the best team and I feel like with him it’s not been that um and maybe it’s because the second best player is so close and in fact has been the best player at points and so maybe that’s where he gets hurt um but if he’s gonna have to if he’s gonna have more games like tonight he’s gonna Force the conversation it’s just that these games haven’t been you know haven’t been many of them I said it earlier no he last scored 43 in January which is crazy to think about yeah but again it goes back to the fact that this this on any given night any one through what I mean there’s six guys that could lead the team in scoring pretty much on any given night it feels like so it it makes sense that those types of performances don’t happen that often because they’re just not needed um final thoughts guys we’re going to wrap it it’s it’s just about midnight here Saturday night appreciate Noah jumping on with us from the windy city which Noah by the way I don’t know if you know this but the windy the windy city is not named Boston oh sorry Boston what about it no no you finish your line and then I’ll say mine okay yeah I was gonna say well you kind of you kind of blew it it’s all good it’s no big deal I think yeah go ahead she knows she knows that it’s not because it’s the Chicago’s windy she knows that it’s that’s not why it’s called the Windy City she already knows of course I don’t know why it’s called the Windy City so feel free to enlighten me I actually I think it’s some guy named Wendy some guy named I think it’s an old mayor they named it after a mayor like something windy for real I think so but I know windy though right I know that it’s not because it’s got a lot of wind going on I just know that I was hanging out with some locals and people were trying to tell me this is the windiest city in America and that the wind here is just crazy and I said actually it’s Boston is the windiest major city so I don’t know if people know that it is yeah and then they didn’t believe me and I actually had to pull up you know pull up some internet searches and show people so it is the wind seem like a blast at parties it was yeah so um I don’t believe it look it upost it’s not the windiest city in America because that’s I’m Amaro Texas but it’s the windiest of the it’s got to be Oklahoma Texas what’s up with you Noah give us the top 10 Windy Cities or something like I was looking foret the win I I did I want to ask I’m still freezing so what’s besides the cold what have you done what have you seen I do love Chicago well I’m here with two of my best friends so we’ve been going we had a great vegan lunch so we’re keeping you you trying to go out tonight no actually I’m not um I’m still I’m recording a postgame podcast actually new new you God Boston features that I’m doing postgame show so right if we’re done here I’m gonna keep talking right in the spot so oh wow okay wow just real quick thanks omit Boston’s average wind speed is 11.5 miles per hour making it one of the windiest cities in the United States yes and I can tell you walking back from like when I was in going to college in Boston if you’re walk if you get stuck in like one of the streets downtown in the financial district area or God forbid Government Center like where the city hall is in like February on a windy night you just won’t you would just rather die it sucks it’s the worst so I the problem right outside of TD Garden is the worst that’s why I strayed my hair because otherwise it gets ruined as I’m walking into TD Garden because it’s so windy it’s like a Wind Tunnel right there got to have a hat or the hair is just toast yeah bobby gets it the hair the the Hat toasts my hair too so it’s no good option that’s true yeah um final thoughts guys we’ll start with Noah actually we’ll start with Bobby because I’m good okay cool um just good Bobby thank you I I talked for a hundred minutes you did yeah you did so did I just an alltime great Tatum performance I think reminder all time for regular season games he broke some record they were debating at postgame with PR but 40 Point triple double the first since Larry Bird um and the stat line that he put on 80% true shooting is the first time ever so NBA University hard uh they said Harden had the 40 since the Celtics in the Celtics I mean oh okay um he broke a bunch of Records on Twitter they were they I saw them all the music the music accounts were going crazy um but it was it really did feel like we need a lower third Tatum col he broke a bunch of Records that’s the type of analysis we get we saw history tonight yeah well I was in the middle of my my final thoughts and Bobby Bobby challenged my line you called it by the way she called it she called it an all time performance all time nothing nothing in no December game in Chicago is goingon to be the all time Bobby Bobby’s Mr like he Bobby would Crown it like an unbel like back in the day Bobby would Al Horford game and be like we’ll never forget the night that Al Horford had like 15 and seven and like the put back like that’s like a night you’re talking about the the Horford night Milwaukee that we still remember we actually don’t I didn’t remember it you do because you like I think you like go to sleep to the box score every night or something all right what’s your final thought Jimmy is Noah done is this a night we’ll never forget it might be I don’t know why that hit me because I’ve written that article so many times about Al Warford it’s like insane night and it’s always he had 13 points and seven assists or something like that and I’m like and just something about when Al has a good game and always feel so historic 13 and seven but well like the way he did it will go down in the books any yeah what’s your have any more thoughts I don’t have any more thoughts I will say I want to move forward from the NBA ratings thing that’s the only other thought that I had because that was a question today that was still asked and look at know you might as well say something about Tatum since we got the lower third up here do you have an idea for how to change the three-point line too no I think we should leave it I’m not reading anything more about it I’m not doing any more stand-ups about it I’m not doing any more questions I’m so sick of that stupid story wait yeah no you know who was asking about what you think you know who was talking to me they they were asking about about what you think they should do about the three-pointers who nobody absolutely nobody I didn’t I know I was just being a chair but um all right wait what did you want to talk about ratings you want no you want to talk about ratings no I I don’t want to talk about ratings we’re done I have no more thoughts you just said you want to talk about one more no I said that’s the last time that I want to talk about ratings that was that I had okay I thought you said the other thing all right all right yeah Bobby all right now we can end the show Bobby you kind of put words in her mouth there you made it seem like she no I misheard it I thought she said she really wanted to share all right we’re gonna end the show I’ll end it with Jason Tatum with an alltime performance um the triple double 43 points I don’t even know what the rest of the numbers what were but they were good they were double digits um he had a Unreal heat check level type fourth quarter there that just made everybody made Scout I think scow was like drooling by the end of the broadcast but um we got a game Monday right Monday in Orlando there you go one more one more report there does not care about the NBA ratings uh we got one in uh in Orlando Orlando on Monday that’s like that’s that’s such a such a whiff game and then it’s Christmas day um we’re going to wait we’re going to do a Christmas Day preview after the Orlando game because we’re not going to talk about that Orlando game let’s just be honest Monday night we’re not gonna talk about that game because it doesn’t matter it’s not gonna matter if they win that game because it’s against a tetin it’s all banged up this is why the ratings are bad Jimmy this is why the ratings are bad but we don’t we don’t talk about that we don’t care you’re telling me if Pritchard goes for 50 in Orlando We’re not gonna talk about it we will talk about that if that happens we will talk about that I stand know but we’re also gonna talk about the Sixers I cannot pass up an opportunity to talk about the Sixers that’s your F that’s basically your guys favorite teams outside of the Celtics you guys predicted them to win the championship I think so we’ll talk let’s see them let’s see them at full health and bead’s back and they have Maxi and George so let’s see how it goes if they can keep these guys on the court together for any amount of time let’s see how it goes let’s see how it goes all right signing off thank you Noah thank you Bobby thank you sherro who was on earlier good night sleep pray to John who uh he’s
