Can the Celtics WIN THE TITLE? 👀 Kenny says it FALLS ON PORZINGIS ☘️ | Numbers on the Board

Can the Celtics win a championship being so jump shot happy cap or I mean the Celtics can win a championship being jump shot happy cap or No Cap uh I’m going say cap cuz it just seems tough you gota I was you got to be able to get

The easy ones like you can’t rely on tough mid-range pull-ups and tough siep threes porzingis um porzingis isn’t the guy that’s really getting into the basket they whole starting lineup doesn’t really get to the basket and it’s crazy to see talents like brown and Tatum who

We know have all the skill set in the world to get to the basket put pressure on the rim and it doesn’t happen and I think in the playoff series you can’t rely on that when a team can scheme around and defend a team like the heat

Might throw Zone at you make you think a little bit it’s going to be tough to always try to figure out how can I get this tough jump shot off against bam sometimes you got to put pressure on the rim and just force the defense to foul

You cuz sometimes the best offense is just free free throws like the other night down MIT took 17 free throws I don’t know the last time I saw Jason tum do that mhm well while y’all talk I’m looking tired to tell you when the last

Time he did that if he did it a week ago you gonna apologize you said that I just want to said yeah make sure I get the question right you said that they they can win with on jumpers or being jump uh jump shot heavy yeah that’s yeah that’s the

Question I’m gonna say I’m gonna say No Cap I think that’s kind of been like their their major flaw I’ve been saying before we kind of started the podcast that like I think porzingis is their biggest X Factor just cuz he can get the in between game even when he does take

Tough jumpers I mean he’s most of the time got like a foot on somebody or he’s shooting right over him but he does give them that inside presence sometimes especially against smaller teams but I I can’t even lie even when teams where they seem or games where they’re

Struggling to shoot the ball they still find ways to pull it out and get the W yeah I really like the you know the role players and how they play Jew holiday um Derek white and Al Horford they just like they make everything fit together

So nicely you know a lot of times when the ball seems to get stuck and you know Jason Tatum throwing it back out Al Horford Drew they all make the extra pass they always find a they usually do find a good shot so I want to say they

Can I think the defense is really like the upside and then offense they they can score with anybody you know let them get hot I just think the top teams when you talk about like free throws they’re top players that getting to the free throw line like yic Yannis

Joel um even like a guy like Dame Dame gets to the line a lot like you got to be at a like consistent you remember the game against this is back in like this is the inseason tournament but I thought the perfect example of this is like you

Remember they going against the Pacers yeah Jaylen Brown didn’t do nothing but the first half but attack the paint yes but they kind of went away from that in that second half and I think the pace is tighten up on defense a little bit more but like that’s when they went to those

Jump shots heavy and they they ended up losing that game I think they just need to consistently if they had the matchup which most nights they do just keep being aggressive and getting to the pain two two feet in the paint is like I think one of the most important things

When it comes to basketball yeah the whole defense to react why don’t you the most prized possession in the world is the ball if you get it closer to the basket everybody has to now react to it and now you generate more open shots it’s easier it just makes everything so

Much easier the most free throws Jason Tatum attempted this year is 19 which was less than a month ago is that against the don’t tell me is that a nasty televised game I don’t know if you could be able to tell that from basketball reference or something I

Can’t why do I feel like I know that game it don’t matter um it was against the Mavericks okay I did not know that I did not know that game I think they can uh it’s just so it’s just so much harder to do it without yeah because of you I

Don’t know which one of y’all Mitch porzingis porzingis is health is the most important thing he’s the most important player this season because when is healthy they are damn near unfuckwitable if he is not healthy they’re very vulnerable I mean we’re not that’s not say lie I feel like that’s

Every team he’s been on which is kind of crazy yeah and um I think they can do it because um in in the playoffs we have seen a guy like Tatum last year in the Eastern Conference Finals um where they obviously lost in seven to Miami he hurt

His ankle he hurt his ankle but they he also had like three or four games in this series where he did have double digit free throw attempts so we seen him individually put pressure on the rim but there are times when I’m watching this team play and I’m like y’all run it five

Out at the moment the guy guarding Jaylen Brown cannot with Jaylen Brown yeah mhm how are we not just saying attack attack attack because there is no real help that they can help off of and that’s that’s moua ball at the end of the day and I just went while

Y’all were talking I went to see like okay do they ramp it up in the playoffs like last year were they because last year they also did not get to the basket at all and when the playoffs came around did we see that switch at least a little

Bit to see them the percentages were exactly the same I was going to say I feel like Jason Tatum had a lot of games where he just started off slow and then it took until the second half for him to really pick it up and most of the time

It’s cuz he’s taking jump shots to start it off I just think that they they are so very talented that that’s going to be enough to carry them to potentially win a championship top six top six are so talented yeah I was looking at it too because I was thinking the same thing

With porzingis uh he missed 14 games this season so far so about a quarter which I mean he’s kind of just been like knickknack here like out here he’s out t uh this night he’s back tonight so I think he should be okay it’s just they

Need him for the playoffs yeah and I I’m okay with him missing these games if that means that when come around cuz for them they’re not a December team they’re March they be winning without him April May June they be winning without him but when he hoop yeah it’s tough it’s [Applause] tough NBA is
