Celtics blow out Warriors, What’s the key to Bucks winning streak? | NBA | THE HERD

Chris manx has been in Milwaukee he knows these Celtics he did not like my take which I didn’t even think it was a negative the Buffalo Bills for big chunks of my life have been unbelievably talented Star Quarterback um really well run and uh no trophies and it’s like now

Boston obviously has a history but if you go back to Boston 35 years they’ve had a lot of good teams this arguably is is as I mean it’s it’s not quite kg Paul Pierce real but it’s good but my criticism is I’ve seen this team blow people out for three years we love

The Drew holiday move but he’s going to be 33 34 pretty soon and he’s played those a lot of miles he defends he’s on the floor that those are Tony Allen years like these he’s not a guy out there hitting Jays he’s gonna age I think this team I think this year is

Really really important okay that’s the only thing out of your mouth I agree with at this moment because in the pantheon of wild takes that’s that’s a pretty wild one comparing them to the Buffalo Bills doesn’t make sense because the bills in those early 90s they were a

Team that from the first Super Bowl to the fourth Super Bowl were a complete team they were they were peing around those years this Celtics team was not peing two years ago when they were still a pretty young team uh last year you have the head coach of your team go out

In a sex scandal days before the start of train training camp and you’re trying to fix things on the Fly not to excuse losing to Miami in the Conference Finals they was a kid I mean he’s a young mulu and that’s another one another beef I have with you there you said earlier

That a Celtics Denver series give one to Malone one because of Michael Malone now I like Michael Malone as a head coach but you are looking at Joe Missoula like he’s the coach from last season the coach that had a deer in the headlights look for a long time who came from the

Back of the bench to take over over a championship level team and had to learn how to be a head coach with a bunch of assistant some of them that probably didn’t like him very much because they probably thought they deserve to get the job this year he has a full training

Camp a full off season he was able to bring in the assistant coach he wanted he’s got Charles Lee who’s gonna be a head coach someday Sam Cassell who’s GNA be a head coach someday and he has shown incredible growth this year as a head coach how many times Colin have you

Talked about the Joe Missoula G from last season the not calling timeouts in key moments the too much three-point shooting yeah the Celtics shoot a lot of Threes but they win a lot of games because they’re top five in the NBA in three point this team this team is I I

Would say this sometimes Marcus Smart I thought had a greater opinion of his offense than was I think Drew holiday could score more doesn’t need to you want the number one offensive team in the league you want him to score more no I think I think Drew holiday fits

Because Drew holiday has I always felt Marcus Smart wanted to prove I can take games over and my take was don’t do that right holiday could but doesn’t feel a need to do it he’s a more seamless third score he can score but it’s not his

Thing I don’t know if he could I mean part of the reason the bucks made that trade is they needed a guy who could take over who could provide offense that Giannis couldn’t and that was Damen Lillard think about how good the Celtics are offensively you have the Golden

State Warriors who have as much brain power on that bench as any team in the NBA Steve cerry Kenny ainson that entire Bunch Championship players on that roster and their best strategy to play the Celtics was to leave an all-nba forward who CHS 36% from three career-wise wide open the entire game

That was their strategy coming in we’re going to leave Jaylen Brown open and and we’re going to try to win that way didn’t work for him the Celtics have so many offensive options that all Drew holiday has to do is shoot a decent percentage from the floor and play the

Kind of Defense he’s known for but the big butt is that the East is pretty weak um I mean listen Randall Brunson Nicks need another score they didn’t do the trade deadline I appreciate their patience they’ve been impatient my entire adult life I appreciate it Milwaukee’s not there yet

We’ll get to them in a second embiid’s out forget it or Cleveland’s good Mitchell’s gone next year maybe at the trade deadline I feel like they’re a little hot and cold for me you think Mitchell’s going to the Knicks I don’t quite by that I think Trey young Lakers

I think Trey young feels like LA and LeBron tends to with players he respects and I know he knows Trey because I went to an event this year and they were both at it clutch Sports guy so and I don’t think I don’t think Trey young works with Jaylen Brunson he’s too loose

Donovan Mitchell shoots a lot but I think he fits better anyway my so too small oh so here’s the other thing about let’s just talk it titles OKC’s too young to win one more year watch out Denver’s in their Prime got to get past them I don’t trust Minnesota but I do

Like their coach and they’ve got size Lakers I thought needed to make a move this year 80s finally healthy but my takeaway is you can’t take the East where the Celtics are 33 and six I don’t care they’re going to fly through the East the West is a whole different ball

Game I agree um I while I think Denver is the clear favorite to win the West they’re not as clear favorite to win that conference as the Celtics are to win the Eastern Conference because they’re going to have some beasts to go through along the way um the teams you

Mentioned put the Clippers in that mix who when they’re fully healthy they’re as good as any team I think in the Western Conference so I think Denver is going to be banged up a little bit on their way to the NBA finals now that may not matter because what Denver’s showing

Right now is that the first part of the regular season that didn’t really matter to them all that much there was still some Championship hang over they were trying to work in some new guys it was tough for some of the Stars to get motivated what we’ve seen over the last

10 games where Michael Porter Jr’s offense has taken off Nicole jic is playing great the defense has locked down Payton Watson Christian Brown fitting right into the rols vacated by Bruce Brown and Jeff Green they are starting to rev that engine up a little bit and when they do

They’re going to be really tough to beat all right we we’ll Circle back to the to the Celtics because I still I’ve been saying this for years with him is that people and maybe I’m guilty I think Tatum’s the best domestic player in his prime in the NBA now I think Steph on

Good nights is better and I think he’s about the eighth best player in the league that’s what I think he’s around there I still do have and this is not a criticism but I think initially he trained with Kobe and there was this feeling that he was going to keep moving

Up and then that the exclamation point would be he is the go-to guy and my takeaway is I don’t think he has that personality I think he’s an All-Star he’s a first team or best player on the second team Allstar I mean MVP considerate but I do think with Tatum my

Take is we’re annointing him to a position it’s not really his personality he’s a willing passer he doesn’t have to take the final shot I mean there were times in Kobe’s career Shacks like I can’t play with them nobody ever says that with Tatum there were Michael Jordan wore people out before Pippen

Phil Jackson talk Tatum’s not this next this is what he is and what he is is I think joic is better there other guys in the league I trust with the ball with a minute left I think you’re right about his personality it’s not what Kobe

Michael some of those guys not who he is not who he is that doesn’t mean he can’t be a closer on a championship team I think what Jason Tatum has done this year has contributed mightily to why the Celtics are in the position that they’re in his willingness to take a step back

To make it a priority to involve Chris abs porzingis and make him the 20 point very St the 20 point per game score that he is yes it is a very Steph Curry type of move but in the fourth quarter of games there aren’t many players that can

Go to the bag that Jason Tatum can go to he can score off the dribble he gets to the free throw line now his three-point shot is legit he is one of the more efficient post players in the NBA this year he has become that guy this year

Both in terms of a passer and a shot maker so when you have that entire bag that you can go to down the stretch last three or four minutes probably aren’t more than a handful guys I’d want with the ball in their hands more than Jason

Tatum all right you know I come across like a hater I’m really not okay I Sacramento Kings line was a bit you hurtful those I love those kings team I like those kings teams way more than this team you guys all want me to light the beam I’m over it the beam’s been

Extinguished I watched that last year the Old Kings teams I loved okay you spent time with the bucks when I first watched them it’s like creating a new show you got to give it a year Dame your turn Giannis your turn Giannis has been a bit West ized he’s getting less

Patient got a coach run out probably shouldn’t what do you make of Milwaukee you spent a week and a half with him yeah spent him uh about a week right before the allstar break with them at home and then went on the road with them to Memphis um I think they’re trending

In the right direction and I think that the decision to fire Adrien Griffin and replace him with Doc Rivers was the right one doc has taken a beating over the last couple of weeks for some of the things that he said and as blunt as he’s been but his Phil philosophies make

Sense one of the things he did immediately when he came in was say we’re trying to do too much defensively let’s get back to who we are the bread and butter defenses that made us great over the last five games where the Bucks are Five-0 they are the number one

Defense in the NBA during that stretch that is an impressive Mark for the Milwaukee Bucks and since doc has taken over they have progressively climbed the defensive rating standings in the NBA is Doc Doc was a good defensive player is he known as somebody that he he had good

Defensive teams right it all depends in part on the Personnel but I’m telling you what he did was take away a lot of the gimmicky stuff that Milwaukee was doing and got them back to being kind of the pure tough defensive team you hunt over that screen good yeah you use your

Length you you bank on Brook Lopez and Giannis in the pain he’s gotten them back to that and really if you’re Milwaukee you don’t need to be the top five defensive team you’ve been in years past to be successful in the playoffs because you’ve got Firepower now you’ve

Got Damen Lillard in that rotation and he’s going to be a threat in the postseason if they can just be a top 10 top 12 defensive team they are the biggest threat to Boston the Eastern Conference I want to talk um so I said Saturday night it was interesting the I

Watched the Lakers Nuggets I watched them play several times they played 11 times in two years and the games come down to four four and a half points which is the Clippers don’t match up with them uh Phoenix doesn’t match up with Denver a lot of people don’t match

Up with Denver uh Nicks strangely do Lakers do because of their size and LeBron can kind of control the tempo and you know at the end of games joic and Jamal Murray just get more good shots they got four players in their Prime Lakers have kind of one Elite player

Which is AD and he’s an old 30 because of injuries but my takeaway of watching the game was which has been my take all year is Lakers match up great with Denver the difference is um they don’t have as many good players in their Prime and I don’t

Trust D’Angelo Russell Reeves will give me 18 AD will you know give me 17 to 23 LeBron will be spectacular and DLo could give me eight points 24 three assists N I think the Lakers I when I watch them now I’m like damn they should have made

A move at the trade deadline yeah but what move there wasn’t one out there like would you give up the one first round pick you can deal to get Bruce Brown does that move the needle enough against D nuggets I understand what the Lakers were thinking in doing nothing I

Feel like they need another shot maker absolutely but you couldn’t get that at the trade deadline not with the assets the Lakers have you get to June and you’ve got three first round picks to deal you’ve got and you know contracts that are one year less that you could

Potentially trade in the case of D’Angelo Russell so you think they’ll make a big move I think they’ll make a big move this offseason now okay let me throw so that’s interesting so I’ve got the picks and and and and uh expiring contracts so a big move is what you’re

Going to need yeah picks and two expiring contracts to get Trey young I think Trey young feels like I don’t think Trey young works with everybody he’s he’s a handful LeBron makes LeBron is the he just smooth lose the edges off all players that can and Shooters tend to play well opposite

LeBron James that’s right I mean uh you know before he got to Cleveland people forget this about Kyrie the knock was can’t stay healthy Diva people didn’t like him an hour later we’re like best idex ambidextrous player in the league best finisher for a small guy in league history that happened really fast

I think Trey young works for the Lakers Donovan Mitchell goes to the Knicks they need a second guy a lot of people push back on Trey young you can’t play with him do you buy that I buy that um you don’t love him I I I think he’s the best

Player that I can think of that’s going to be available this off season the two best players that might be available via trade are both in Atlanta I mean Trey young and dejonte Murray are going to be sought after Commodities this off season Trey young makes sense because the

Lakers offense stinks right there’re 17th in offensive efficiency they’re 13th from three-point range and this is not an aberration this is who the lers have been even their championship year they were not a great offensive team last year in the postseason when they made a run they did it backed by defense

Great defense it wasn’t great offense the Lakers need a great offensive player I think Trey young makes a lot of sense you can deal three first round picks you can deal some swaps you can deal expiring contracts you can make a move that would probably entice Atlanta to make that

Deal J Mack I always said you should like him he’s got your game not much attention to defense and uh difficult to play with but I will say there are players that um you know just certain guys were by the way Kyrie now playing well with Luca so that’s kind of working

Don’t think it does anything in the postseason um Let me throw this at you when you heard LeBron say this everybody when I came into the league wanted to see me fail that was kind of projecting as a psychologist I don’t remember anybody rooting against him I’m sure LeBron look athletes interpret things

Differently right I’m sure there were people that wanted to see LeBron fail and I’m sure he heard some of those voices sure and Amplified some of those voices but the vast majority of people were excited to see LeBron succeed this was a time in the NBA where they were

Searching for a face Kobe had kind of taken that mantle uh Michael was at the back end of those Wizards years they were looking for that next great generational star Here Comes LeBron and I remember watching that very first game against Sacramento when he had 20 something points six assist kind of

Flirted with a triple double in that game thinking wow this guy is as good as advertised so back in 2003 a vast majority of the people wanted to see LeBron James succeed now fast forward to 2010 and yes everybody wanted to see him fail in Miami when you

Go to Miami and you leave Cleveland behind and you do it in the way that he did with the decision it it turned everybody against him completely but from the very beginning I don’t know where that demographic was the one the people that were rooting understand Boston didn’t

Love him because you guys had kg Paul P like it was your time yeah but he was a young guy on team that was rebuilding he wasn’t really a threat until 2007 and they went to the finals and the Rivalry with Boston didn’t really pick up until

2009 2010 all right let’s Circle back to the Celtics so Mr this guy literally is on the Reddit boards Jason Tatum fan guy all week if the Celtics you know po Zing across your fingers on his health so let’s say the Celtics get to the finals

And they just don’t match up with Denver it just doesn’t look good and now poor Zinga she cross your fingers on health um and all of a sudden Drew holiday is now 34 do you think and I’m projecting but boy Boston’s an overwhelming favorite to get I I would be shocked in

Fact I would be surprised if they don’t sweep a series and and maybe maybe too yeah like I think there’s that much bet they just it’s the best starting five hands down at least in the west there are other comparable starting fives there are dangerous KC’s too young but

They can score can’t rebound but they can score and they get extinguished by Denver and it doesn’t look highly competitive do they make a move then so if my take is so zany then that should mean if they go and lose again in the finals the feeling is we are we are

Reluctant to change I feel like if they don’t win now we start looking at Tatum going bro come on now Steph took you to the cleaners Wiggins felt bigger yic Murray I think if they lose this year your take is less zany than it is right now because this year every there’s no

Lingering issues there’s no we’re too young there’s no our coach is inexperienced there’s no there’s a finals team that we could play that’s more experienced than we are all those things are completely off the table and yeah if they get beat Bad by a team like

Denver in the finals I could see them making some changes because Brad Stevens has been proactive from day one on this job like he didn’t need to make changes last year they were one win away from going to the finals Marcus Smart is a beloved figure in this in the city of

Boston yet he goes out makes that deal Drew holiday in porzingis in both of those have worked both those worked so if they fail this season and like failure can look like a few different things right I think failure is getting beat in five games by Denver in the

Finals if they go to seven and lose the Nuggets I don’t that’s necessarily but if they either lose in the Conference playoffs or lose bad in the NBA Finals then we can have start talking this Wackadoo take of yours about the Sacramento Kings and the Buffalo Bills

Because they are just not there yet col they are legit this year and they’re going to be a problem for whoever they play in the finals hey light the beam Nick Wright was on ran into the LA that team wasn’t even that bad they ran into

The LA Lakers year after year the South LS don’t have an LA Lakers out there in their conference waiting East is weaker than I thought I thought I like it but you know embiid’s injury ID injury although the Celtics have owned the Sixers the last few years that I’m not

Sure that would have changed the result of that you know I remember last year Watching Boston play Milwaukee and my take was man Milwaukee looks slow and old Boston looks so much more athletic and I still I still have qu I mean Dame’s not a Defender so he not it’s and

It’s not like they got younger no and they’re an older team in Milwaukee I they’re the oldest team in the league yeah and that that that affects their athleticism that yeah they’ve got some problems all that in but by the way your your Donovan Mitchell to the Knicks take

Is you gota they got to get a second it’s not Donovan Mitchell it can’t be Donovan Mitchell it can’t be you can’t win with MIT no you you two small guards you can’t win with that’s the problem Cleveland’s run into the last couple of years with Mitchell and Darius garlett

Right like they they’re too small in that back court to succeed at the highest l the Knicks go I mean they will keep hunting the biggest of big names they will keep hunting Giannis if things go south in Milwaukee so that so that’s been my take Ryan do we have this taped

I said if if Giannis doesn’t win a second one with Dame he’s been westernized yeah he got coaches fired like he’s now wants to he understands the game European players come over they play nice and then all of a sudden they see how aggressive our media is yeah and

We’re like yeah you won a title you got to get to two and three Michael got six bill got 11 like I think he kind of feels like now it’s almost like Calipari Kentucky there’s a huge gap between one title and two one there’s a million guys

With a title and I think Giannis if if they regress in the playoffs I think he’s going to go to the front office and and to be clear he signed that contract this past year which was as much about the machinations of the salary cap to enable him over the next two contracts

To get the maximum possible dollar yes it was viewed as a commitment to Milwaukee but it was really about making sure he got Max dollar I’m with you on this one if they get beat in the second round of the playoffs there could be a

Problem I I don’t know that for for sure but there there could be a problem with Giannis Milwaukee that’s why teams like the Knicks have been keeping their powder dry as best they can because there are still teams looking to gear up and make a run at Giannis in the off

Season Chris manx good stuff pushing back love it see that combative stuff yeah but his stuff makes sense I had to talk him off the ledge he had five little kids on his team the other team you know some kid got the chickenpox or something they only had

Four he didn’t take a player off the team he’s like full court press let’s douse him wow that’s very aggressive with children that’s very aggressive coaching you got Bobby Knight over here the these guys I admire the Press I would have done that but Rick patino full court press on the division three
