Boston Celtics vs Portland Trail Blazers Full Highlights 1st QTR | Mar 11 | 2024 NBA Regular Season

Kids these days get breaks every week it feels like Mark Lindsay Justin vany and Musa dagger are officials tonight of the best players in the country making his first start of the Season tonight Tatum’s pass deflected Richard comes away with it what do you think first two points belong to Portland P

Could be more fitting the ball bounced right to him the ball finds energy I was told that by a coach a great coach Doc Rivers always play with energy the ball seems to find you and it found pay Trailblazers and 45 on the season there’s more of that energy as he’s all

Over Chris Murray Anthony Simons fires a deep triple he shoots as many threes is almost anybody in the league yeah and it’s tough when you’re guarding somebody that hard and you go to a quick switch but he’s four feet behind the three-point line hard to get to him

Usually the issues the Celtics are giving the opponents Horford’s Corner three goes an answer from Big L the Blazers a team that is not going to shoot or make a lot of triples outside of Simon who makes about three and a half per game on almost nine attempts as Jeremy Grant misses from

Outside of course the Celtics the top three-point shooting team in the league in terms of makes and attempts and their top five in percentage too tum matched up with Grant and again they poke it away you got to be strong with the ball I said that in the open it’s a team that

Forces a lot of turnover so got to make sure you’re strong with they can’t be knocked Al there’s DeAndre the former number one overall pick from the Suns playing in his first season with the Blazers he was dominating in their win over Toronto Saturday 128 to 118 in overtime a that 30 and

19 brown leaves a short from the elbow and Simons climbs the ladder he’s going to have the ball in his hands a lot tonight so is Aon with the rection gets it back and it good effort by Horford secondary effort but just unlucky the ball bounces

Right to Aon and and speaking about Aon he was telling me earlier before the game that the difference between here and Phoenix is he’s going to be utilized a lot more than he was in Phoenix and that’s all he was looking for that’s why people thought he was just gruntled but

He just wanted to be utilized a little bit more erk white splashes a triple and he enters the chat on the score sheet Celtics back and front just over two minutes in I feel like Aiden sort of got a bad reputation for his uh his personality and how he was in the locker

Room in Phoenix but like you said him this guy’s a former number one overall pick and he’s playing with other superstars just want some more looks right white on the kick Tatum little strong on the three our spacing is is good right now though we’re getting the looks that we

Want when we when we drive and we kick there’s wide open shots I like our space and we’re picking up from where we left off your Phoenix Celtics two for three from distance Jeremy Grant off balance attempt Grant back in the lineup after dealing with some injury issues

Averaging over 21 points per game also Dre that Pace look we got the ball up our first action first pass 18 17 seconds on the shot clock you got an opportunity to really do a lot of things offensively I would like to see the ball hop a little bit more it’s sticking and

I mean I don’t mind it’s sticking with Jason Tatum but when this ball is hopping you put this team in a situation where they’re going to be in rotation a lot and you’ll get every look that you want Blazers 21st in the league in defensive rating allowing 11 16.7 for

100 way too much space for Al Horford good start for Horford two of two from distance and two assists already for Jason Tatum Horford now ding up Aon and doing it well and cleaning the glass himself and running the floor what can’t this man do with 37 and pushing the break I

Mean come on now Horford in there for porzingis tonight Tatum Quick Pass Pritchard D white the offensive board back out to Pritchard Tatum left alone B Tatum MOA three from the floor 02 from distance white with a hot hands to poke it away from Henderson three on one it’s

Jaylen Brown a Nifty side step and a timeout Blazers it’s so clear with Portland PE guys hey Drew it takes a second for you to figure that out that you don’t buy tickets for everybody only a select few everyone else can spend for themselves like two or three years then you’re like

Hold up wait wait wait I’m spending how much there’s scoot Henderson the number three pick in the draft with his first two points tonight Jaylen Brown trying to body up Anthony Simons out to D white and prit with another offensive rebound at his size 6′ one his offensive

Rebounding Crow is so impressive he has a nose for the basketball you know being a coach’s son he just understands the game he can read the ball Up the Rim one of the best in the league at doing it got rejected by Chris Murray there there though we were talking about this before

The game Edie pton BR works so hard yes he does he’s one of those he’s the proverbial gym rat like he loves being in the gym and I was talking to one of the coaches earlier they say they get off of the they they get into a oh man

You called him somebody else Drew you got to get it together baby I I told him later though and he was like he’s co he understood get him a coffee next time him a Starbucks Anderson hits the three if he can do that he’s going to be a much

Better player yeah cuz he could get to the basket he’s super athletic and he’s not scared so he’s going to constantly attack you in put pressure on the defense scoots got five two or two from the floor that’s his first triple for the season Henderson just 31% from

Deep Portland within two Horford tries it again hits it again what a start for big Allen Portland and he’s just catching and shooting no hesitation letting it go trusting his work Aton is just a little bit too late scoot the start for scoot Henderson missed eight games with a hip

Injury’s back and back in the starting lineup came off the bench in their win Saturday against the Raptors that snapped a nine game home losing streak for the Blazers Tatum pulls it drains it a deep one for JT sometimes you just need to see it Go in get to the free throw

Line break the lid off the Rim that’s his first bucket he had a point from the free throw line Simons missed the triple Hower playing volleyball with Derek [Applause] white thewi on the catch in the drive Horford kicks it brown shoots it all right drew that play right that possession I don’t mind it I thought

That was a fantastic possession they pushed it up they played fast and they moved the ball in multiple actions just didn’t get the shot and that’s how I want to see them play offense throughout this game Aon on the follow Hower on the L got to play Fast against this team you

Got to play fast I think you can take advantage of their youth they’re not understanding how to play defense how to play this team at a high level every single possession so play Fast come on baby Orford with the block he’s reacting to what our two stars are able to

Do White’s got his eyes up finds OA brassette just checked into the game Brown after the flyby scores it late shot clock offense from Jaylen Brown Celtics by six there’s Jeremy Grant sure if that was a pass or a shot either way Aiden could not handle it and here goes Horford

Again white float game is on point playing fast I love the way that we’re playing I love the pace that we’re playing with offensively and also defensively we look connected on a defensive end that last play was indicative of that that’s why it looked

Like you didn’t know if it was a pass or a shot because the defense had them in between DWI on Simons there’s that pick and roll with Aiden they like that it’s Simon’s

  1. Jayson "Turnover" Tatum… in the first two possessions, he's trying to dribble into traffic — instead of passing the ball like all his other teammates do. (Well, except for Jaylen Brown, on occasion.) He can be a real black hole when it comes to that ball. 🏀
