‘A CLEAN SWEEP’: Perk is (finally) convinced by the Boston Celtics 🍀 | NBA Countdown

Is in a very grinch-like way no Grinch in me noin all right well since there’s no Grinch in you Stephen A Smith what did you learn about the Celtics in this Christmas day well I just think that they’re the best team in basketball I don’t care what anybody says I mean when

You look at the Denver Nuggets did the reigning defending NBA champions I would say they were very lucky they ran into the Miami Heat and the NBA Finals because Boston didn’t handle their business remember Jason Tatum got hurt you know one of the first offensive plays in that game seven uh Eastern

Conference Finals game but look at Boston right now the acquisition of Chris steps porzingis a 73 shot blocker who can step away from the basket and hit threes he had 28 and 11 this afternoon against the Los Angeles Lakers give credit what credits doe see what he

Is Jason Tatum had his 25 points no matter how great LeBron James has been he wasn’t the biggest star on the floor today even with Anthony Davis dropping 40 yep and 13 it wasn’t enough but the question is Kendrick Perkins you’ve been a skeptic you’ve been hesitant you’ve

Been waiting to fully jump in on the Celtics are you in a Christmas miracle yeah I jumped off the porch today well this weekend I mean they they came in LA and did a clean sweep in great fashion first it was the Clippers and I don’t

Give a damn that people talking about it they didn’t have Kawai they still would have smacked the Clippers and they did that to the Lakers here’s what I’m looking at I’m looking at this lineup when they start qu quot small with Pingas at the five they’re really not

Small because they got great rebounding guards Jason Tatum and Jaylen Brown is going to hit the glass Drew Holliday has seven boys tonight right and then when I think about what they do they’re going to push the pace they’re going to attack downhill and they’re going to look for

Those threes and they’re going to keep shooting them and they got guys they can actually knock them down Derek white has been unbelievable I we keep we talk about one of the most underrated players in the game today yeah like he could really be a second option on a really

Good team if we go just compare rosters I’m not going to disagree with the word you guys said about Boston and what they’ve gotten how complete they are with size and versatility and defending and three-point Obsession which you and I are a little annoyed with but it seems

To be working for the most part but I’m old school the Champs are the Champs they played a pretty hot Warriors team today uh they’re played pretty well I know Klay did not have the shooting game that we’ve been used to see three of 12 nine points right but you know what

When you have Jamal Murray playing like that with the bounce and his step that he had three four years ago they still the champ Stephen A here’s my only push back when it comes down to Denver and I said this if Denver get home court throughout the playoffs then they’re

Dangerous but if they don’t and the Celtics get the home court it’s a Problem
