FULL REACTION to the Celtics’ 28-point win over Mavericks, 10W streak | NBA Countdown

Welcome inside our Los Angeles Studio alongside Zack low Brian wior Kendrick Perkins I’m Malika Andrew the Boston Celtics they keep on rolling 10 consecutive wins for Boston now this is pretty impressive right that three-point shooting that they have is just devastating you have to hope that they

Have an off night shooting to even have a chance in the game and they’ve got so much redundancy so many different things that they can go to Dallas was right in this game in the third quarter they had the there was a ball in the air where

They could have gone ahead and within minutes they were down 10 timeout they never smelled the lead again it’s the best team in the NBA doesn’t mean they’re going to win the title necessarily but they’re my pick they’re the best team in the NBA and what I

Loved and perk you’re going to love this too when things got a little tight in the third quarter Jason Tatum put his head down and started going to the rim and he didn’t make shots every time but two of them he missed porzingis put one back Horford put one back that’s another

Thing that happens when you go to the rim offensive rebounds Tatum got to the line and then he made one you and I have been talking all year there going to be nights where it ain’t pretty where you don’t make 21 threes or whatever they made tonight that’s what they’re going

To need in some of those ugly Mucky playoff games Tatum made Luca call Stanley Steamer cleaners and get that and pay for the mud that he tracked up in the first half that’s all I was asking for out of Jason Tatum was the fight back and you know what happened

When he started to come out in that second half and be aggressive we saw separation and all of a sudden the Dallas Mavericks couldn’t recover this is how good Jason Tatum is when he wants to impose his will and be a threat at the basket and be a threat offensively

And show why he’s one of the most skilled players in the game this is this Celtic team goes to another level also I want to point out chrisal pingis right the the revenge tour he smacked the Knicks a couple uh games ago and felt proud about that and tonight he came out

He was aggressive in the first half he was protecting the rim rebounding at a high level and you just see him playing with such joy and I just think if the Celtics keep continue to have that balanc attack of using post-ups attacking the basket and knocking down

Those threes that that damn sure going have a definite chance of winning the NBA champion 25 points for brown 32 for Tatum 24 for christs porzingis I should point out that 10 consecutive wins is the longest streak by any team in the NBA this season coming into this game

Perk you picked two and a half right teams in the Western confence two a possible two in a possible half that you liked over the Boston Celtics after watching that do you care to revise that no no I mean look the Dallas Mavericks are you know are not a top four team in

The western conference right you still got the the top dogs which is the Clippers the Timberwolves and the defending champs the Denver Nuggets and look I wouldn’t be surprised if the Celtics win a championship I wouldn’t be shocked but I’m saying is is this they’re still in a weaker conference

They playing great basketball but let’s not lose the fact that they’re in a weak weaker conference so my fast math here is that the Celtics starters scored 105 points Dallas as a team scored 110 Zach okay well that doesn’t seem great for the Mavericks and look I’m not going to

Panic about this if I’m the Mavs though this is a tough team on the road Luca played great Kyrie didn’t make shots the Celtics made a million threes you did not they were nine of 34 Dallas from three but one little thing they traded a first first round pick for Daniel

Gafford played six minutes tonight he didn’t play at all in the second half this is the second time in a row he’s barely played in a game Dan Gafford is a good player he makes sense on their team another lob threat but that’s a lot of

Resources to give up for a guy who’s kind of already becoming like a luxury item for them that they don’t use fasinating thing about that is they had a deal worked out for Kyle kozma and the Wizards gave Kyle kozma the option to not accept the trade even though that

Was not contractual he doesn’t have a no trade clause he said I don’t want to go to the Mavericks I want to stay here and be a core member of this team and they pivoted and did a Daniel Gafford trade instead it was going to be two first

Round picks for Kyle kma instead they ended up with PJ Washington and Daniel Gafford and Washington did have a good game and he has been playing well but if you’re talking about what ifs especially in the playoffs especially when you see a game like this where you could have

Used another piece of Firepower Kyle kozma is here playing across the street tonight against the Clippers well I think when you look at that situation with gaford you’re looking at it as an insurance policy and also that competition inside the locker room right you want Derek livley to be

Uncomfortable in a good way to make sure that that’s fine but what he’s saying is they gave a first round pick for they gave up a lot and look time like they’re going to need Daniel aord at some point there’ll be moments where he plays 28 minutes a game it’s just resource

Allocations it’s a lot to give up for an insurance Policy he
