THE HERD | The Celtics are really best team in NBA – Colin on Porzingis, Celtics beat Lakers 126-115

Celtics looked incredible porzingis man porzingis looks good he had an awesome dunk back late in the game that was just holy hell uh my guy Jason Tatum who’s a top five player in the league I will hear nothing otherwise uh porzingis and Tatum 53 points combined Lakers have now

Lost six of eight since winning the inseason tournament ad was pretty good 40 and 13 LeBron nearly a triple double there’s a KP putback that was just Boston doesn’t have a ton of bench help either does Denver but Denver and Boston I do not remember a year

Where I I felt before the trade deadline in December I felt like we have two teams that are now I do worry about Boston they have these weird moments with Tatum Jaylen Brown Leighton games but when I watch Boston play and I watch Denver play their only vulnerability to

Me is the bench and I do worry about situationally the Celtics coach but it’s a really good team they’re they’re starting five no no this is It’s the awesome the Nugget Celtic starting fives are easily the best in the league and this this is the only vulnerability

Boston I worry about the coach in close games I think that’s a real thing neither one has a great bench but that’s overstated because Denver’s bench last year was 15th in the league and the best bench last year was the Pacers um NBA had kind of a quiet Christmas day cuz

The NFL was hogging a lot and NFL had upset Galore um it’s weird we’ll get to the Suns later on but I don’t know Lakers have lost six of eight Colin I I know it’s Christmas time we don’t want to talk about firing anybody or getting uh getting people shipped out of town

But it starting to feel like something’s probably going to go down with this team here in January this cannot keep up LeBron will not stand everybody loved all the DLo and Jared Vanderbilt and ruie hashimura and they were nice Band-Aids after the Westbrook thing didn’t work but they’re just Band-Aids

And Band-Aids eventually got to peel them off like the the those were nice additives to get them through they made a Westbrook deal it didn’t work work right so they they add these players and they add some size and Team guys and it it felt like hey this this is better it

Was better but it didn’t make him great ruie and Jared Vanderbilt they’re not going to make you great they made a bad situation last year better I when I watched the lake and I try to watch a bit of every Laker game they they more than any team maybe except Indiana took

The playing tournament seriously they really cared but most of the most of the teams in the league didn’t spend that much energy on it so the Lakers win that hang the banner and feel great but this is a team that because of clever moves last year solved a mess with Westbrook that

Thing just didn’t work Westbrook and LeBron now don’t even talk like that thing was a mess and they solved it with a Band-Aid but Band-Aids come off it’s time to make another move and get more athletic get better defensively on the wing they’re not a championship roster

It’s the mentality for this team last year in the playoffs was we’re lock locked in we’re going to the Conference Finals the ncas tournament we’re locked in let’s win this bad boy now it’s just like December games they come out they’re down 15 like in a heartbeat yeah

It’s it’s tough for these guys to get motivated when they know we could just turn it on and the whole flip the switch idea I don’t know Colin starting to get a little nervous for LeBron’s Lakers JM with the news well that’s the news and than for stopping by the her news Well

Pro Sports is a live television show so you see the arguments on TV you see the flaws and thees on TV and that’s what you’re seeing with the 9 and6 Kansas City Chiefs conflict disagreements coaches mad at the tight end Kansas City is just a company many of you work at

Those that’s working through its flaws live on television an aging tight end a two young receiver group an o line struggling at tackle higher expectations Super Bowl or bust it’s all live every Sunday it’s hard to be very very good in this league consistently when you’re bad

At a certain position group and the Chiefs are bad at wide receiver but Colin Joe burrow got to a Super Bowl with a bad old line yes he did do you remember that season they were 10 and seven in the regular season they beat the Raiders with an interim coach in the

Playoffs in the Wild Card round barely and they beat Ryan tanah Hill in the playoffs barely remember that year they had one great game they got better and better and beat Kansas City and deserved love but they were 10 and seven this team feels like they’re going

To end up 10- seven with a lot of warts a flawed team but they’re bad at wide receiver so last year Travis Kelce was a Band-Aid for some of their limitations at was wide receiver and this year he has not had a touchdown since week 11 he’s aging perhaps a bit distracted but

He can’t pull them out of this thing it’s a live television show I don’t love them but I still like them but they’re really bad at wide receiver lot of drops I don’t even understand what that trick play was looks like sometimes the young guys just are are just not ready to play

In big spots but this is what they have it’s too late they’re past the trade deadline they’re a good team they’re not a great team you can’t be that bad at wide receiver and be a great team that Bengals team was a good team wasn’t a

Great team the Rams were a much better team so I I’m not selling all my stock but a Patrick momes with an aging tight end and offensive tackles as Greg coell pointed out a couple weeks ago that he just doesn’t trust he does not look comfortable everybody is saying I’m

Watching these analysts say he doesn’t see down the field that’s never been a problem what he doesn’t is trust his tackles and Trust his young receivers and it’s a live television show and we’re all seeing it you and your company can go to a cubicle you can have a

Meeting you can go to lunch you can have a company Retreat you can’t do that in Pro Sports it’s all live every Sunday on TV and Kansas City’s a good team working through some stuff and here’s Patrick Mahomes after you see glimpses of us moving the football you see glimpses of us scoring

In the Red Zone um it’s just we haven’t consistently done it enough um game in and game out um at this end of the season we kind of had one good game one bad game one good game one bad game um but uh we have to be more consistent

Because when you get to the playoffs you have to string some together I mean I still believe that we can we can go do what we want to do it’s just uh how can we correct it as quickly as possible that’s it they feel like a 10 and seven

Team they feel like that Bengals team where they’re really really bad in one spot and that team got to the Super Bowl and I can argue the AFC was better then D B was still I believe in Buffalo with Josh Allen Kansas City was had all their weapons and and Cincinnati still worked

Its way through so you know every weekend this is a situational League I’ve been saying this all year except for the ners it’s a situational league and then yesterday we found out it’s a situational league for the ners too you just have to watch the games anger

Ticked off flaws warts I think they’ll figure it out and have a good shot to get to the AFC champ ion ship but but if you’re waiting for them to solve receiver it’s not going to be good the Bengals couldn’t solve that online it wasn’t that good if you’re waiting for

The Chiefs to solve their offensive tackle issues they’re not going to solve them they try to bandaid them and be as good as you can possibly be but you’re going to give up sacks and you’re going to drop passes and going to make mistakes and that’s what Kansas City is
