Better Starting 5: Denver Nuggets or Boston Celtics? | NBA Today

You ready sure I don’t have a choice well we’re going to start with the best duo Jamal Marin Nicola yic Jason Tatum and Jaylen Brown Zach come on now these guys just won the championship and they are a tailor they’re an actual Duo a pick and roll combination that works

Together these guys are sometimes a Duo but sometimes Jason Tatum’s partner is somebody else has to be these guys I’m I’m with Zach on there it’s not just pick and roll it’s the two man game overall they have mastered it they have set the tone but with a big and a guard

Or Wing should look like why are you grimacing Austin I hate to play Devil’s Advocate but I got to go with this these two right here I think from an aesthetic standpoint oh no I’m over here baby I’m with Boston is sending you a message I know I

Know I know I’m sorry I’m sorry listen I play with these two they’re great they they work better they’re more complimentary no doubt this might not be as pretty a lot of iso but these guys have gone to the finals they’ve gone to the Conference finals every year we say

If it’s not finals it’s a bad year for them because these two are the baddest Duo that we’ve seen for the past how long couple years 3 four years they’ve been most consistent all right let go a little bit bigger then the best starting five perk who you got swinging over here

Can I just can I just walk over Swang to the Chris Cross yeah go ahead over I’m going with the Boston Celtics I mean look at this right here you have Jason Tatum a guy that’s in the MVP conversation a front runner in my eyes jayen brown arguably the best two in the

Game on both sides of the ball and then you have this man right here Derek white right the most underrated player in the league some is face list some is calling for him to actually make the allstar game and then Drew holiday the best defender in the league on the perimeter

And then you got Kristoff pink I’m guessing you came over here for a reason Austin come on man we’re going with the Champs I’m going with the Nuggets they are the best put together starting lineup all of them have a purpose all of them have a role and they all complement

Each other well best passing big ever in basketball we got his Dynamic duel that y’all just chose over those two right yeah you chose great complimentary piece Aaron Gordon who looks like he was made to play with Nola yeah great defensive 3 and D guy and then you got one of the

Best knockdown Shooters who spaces the floor so these guys can do their pick and roll I’m going with Denver what’s the difference for me Zach so I haven’t seen Chan this week Chan we love you in honor of you and your waffling I am going to waffle and call it a tie

Between the two best lineups in the NBA this lineup is been better this season it’s the most exciting lineup in the NBA but this it’s grandfathered in cuz these guys want championship and this is couldn’t this is like a magical chemistry stop yelling at me I told you

I love you today and I called you I roller Coter um all right home court advantage right it’s certainly going to play a factor especially when we when we start talking about the playoffs the the Nuggets they have the altitude as it stands today the Celtics are 20 and 0

Which is wild at home Austin who’s got the advantage well the Celtics I I know they got the elevation and that can be a lot to deal with in terms of breathing but perk you you you you know better than anybody there’s something about that Boston fan base when they get going

In there I think they have the best crowd in basketball well it’s been that way for the for since the beginning of the time and it’s not even close put my name over here by me this is why I’m standing at look when this crowd gets

Into it it’s a reason that they 20 and0 you get chills you get goosebumps when you play in there you can feel it in your veins and your soul when you playing that can also feel the altitude in your soul but you know so none of all

Veins and souls and lungs and all that stuff none of that helped the Celtics in the playoffs last year when they were horrible at home for a good team and these guys couldn’t be beat at home in the altitude and rolled everybody in the playoffs what are you thinking they got

A 20 and 0’s cute in a regular season the answer is the Denver Nuggets all right we got two for Denver or one for Denver two for Boston but I just I can’t wait for tonight’s game it’s Friday so that means let’s have some fun it’s our

Favorite game who said that we are going to take some quotes look at them the ones that caught our attention and ask our esteemed contestants who said that Austin you’re new to this game so take a look here are the current standings so you know the competition that you were

Going up against Kendrick Perkins leads the way Zack low in second place so I think that means Zach we’re going to give you a chance kick it off for us first up which player said this about playing their former team quote it was good to come

Back and kick their who said that was it Dylan Brook was it Malik monk or was it Deon Murray Deon Murray I’m going de Murray I literally have no idea but I’m going Deon Murray was it Deon Murray no I would have got that wrong too take a

Listen I don’t think I had one yet so that was good to um to to come back and kick their ass yes like we do sorry Zach try again next time I mean we’re bragging about being the Hornets well I mean it was personal for Malik M

Yeah sometimes you need something to I missed that one get your get your spirits up this week this week might we we’ve stepped our game up this week all right perk are you ready this is next up after a recent blowout loss this coach was asked how

They kept the game even close uh and the answer was quote what are you on drugs was it Greg papovich was it rick Carlile or was it will hardy you know what this is a battle of the oldheads right here damn it you know what Rick Klo he been saying some crazy

Stuff lately I’m going with Rick Zach get to move up the standings was it rick Carlile sorry perk that’s pop that’s pop you on drugs even one second come on oh nothing like pop nothing like Greg papic sorry perk they kicked our ass oh there is nothing like Greg

Papovich all right sorry San Antonio Spurs Austin do you have the hang of the game I think I do all right next up which GM when asked whether if they could be less emotionally attached to players and colder when making trades said quote colder than I am now I mean
