Celtics remain the best team in the NBA, Bucks remain a work in progress | What’s Wright?
Bucks in Celtics they played last night Dam and Tatum put on a little clinic and the Bucks were able to keep the game pretty close despite not having Giannis so uh we already know a few of your thoughts on these teams in the East but you’ve it’s it’s kind of conflicting
You’ve got the Bucks as your finals pick but you have the Celtics the top of your te of your tiers right now what’s up with that yeah so right now the Celtics deserve the respect to say they’re the best team in the league they have a top six alltime point differential that’s
Meaningful to me like that is and the other teams on that all-time Point differential list are some of the best teams ever they have a universally respected excellent starting five they’re healthy and they have seven wins more than every other team in the league they’re going to finish like 65 and 17
And no other team in the league is going to get to 60 wins so they deserve to be a top the tear so to speak I can believe that while also believing Milwaukee or Denver would beat them in a series and so to me those are
The the those two ideas are not in Conflict at least in my mind I also type of thing well it it’s a little bit of that and it’s a yeah or I guess it’s a lot of that it’s not that I don’t think the Celtics are a good play postseason team
They’ve made a finals they’ve made four Conference Finals since Tatum’s been there it’s more that I think the Bucks have been a work in progress all year but if we pause and take a moment and say what we thought of Milwaukee last year was they needed a guy just like
Dame and they added Dame now the defense took a step back but I think some of the skepticism about Milwaukee was all right if you add a guy like Dame what does it do to Giannis well Giannis offensively and he didn’t play last night obviously you could argue is having the best
Season of his career he’s averaging three beneath his career high in points he’s averaging by a full half assist his career-high in assists and he’s averaging by four percentage points his best shooting percentage ever he’s at six he’s 31 Points 11 rebounds six assists 62% from the field every single
Night and here’s the other thing that to me is noteworthy about what the Bucks have done recently including last night to bring it to last night the Bucks ability as of late to play these other good to excellent teams and to play them without Giannis and to be really good I think is
Highly impressive so they didn’t have Giannis for the Clippers game they won they didn’t have Giannis for the Suns game they won they didn’t have Giannis last night and that was a three-point game against a full strength Celtics team in Boston I actually think that and I think
Giannis missing a little bit of time here could actually be good for the bucks in this regard it allows Dame to really get in a pre postseason Rhythm which Dame’s been good but not great this year Dame has not been as good as he was last year and Dame talked about
Kind of the emotional toll that you know he got fored he had to move he feels lonely all those things are real things sidebar of the sidebar Deon did you see the DeAndre Aon quote uh who no there’s no nothing wrong no no no no so on himself so I’m going
To read it to you and then I’m I’ll tie this to the Dame stuff in a moment so I’m going to read you the story from Kurt Highland on B uh Pro basketball talk it has taken DeAndre Aton a while to adjust to Portland both on and off
The court back in November he averaged 14 and nine shooting 59% solid numbers but Aon was passive much of the time not the inside presence Blazers were counting on since the break uh eighton has averaged 24 and 14 on 64% so what changed Aon talked about that adjustment with Aaron Fess of The
Oregonian uh and this is what he wrote qu or this is what he said quote my body just wasn’t my body people forget the Humane difference of me adjusting to everything oh I did see that the mattress being sorry go ahead yes yes just being comfortable and waking up
Quote I didn’t have a bed for quite some time I was on an airor mattress just trying to figure things out so I’m now going to give you two facts Fact one DeAndre Aon is 25 years old Fact Two DeAndre Aon currently makes $32 million a year I’m
Going to add a third fact fact three DeAndre Aon makes his money with his body if you are a grown man and you are in the mid eight fig figure earnings Club you know what I’m going to lower that if you’re in the seven fig you know what I’m going to
Lower that if you’re in the mid six figure earnings Club if you’re a grown man making more than $200,000 a year and your body is how you make your money you’re not allowed sleep on an air mattress for more than one night and that has to be a really disastrous
Scenario for it to be one night that is that when he’s like when he’s like oh my goodness the Humane part of it here here’s the here’s the adult part of it I’m a super rich guy this is affecting my performance at work I need the best bed available in the Portland area

Who represents the East in the Finals: Bucks or Celtics?
I’m going with Boston
Bucks in 6
Nick Wright fails to mention that Boston was not at full strength, they were without Jrue Holiday and Sam Hauser. Be accurate in your basketball talks dude, Jesus Christ.
bahahahahahahahahahahahahaha THAT WAS HILARIUS ! NICK GODMODE FRYING!
"It's more, I just don't want to pick the Celtics"
its hate
Tell the whole truth about last night. Why leave out the details that will hurt you case. Boston wasn't fully loaded. Why Denver, Bucks can lose a 20pt lead and win by 3 to a starless team, but the Celtics can't? Hold all teams to the same standards.
Full strength celtics? They were missing Jrue Holiday which is key to the starting lineup especially defensively and the best corner 3 pointer in the league. And they were also missing Sam Houser which is our best 3 point shooter coming off the bench
The Bucks are still a work in progress and time is running out. Huge implosion is inevitable.
Last yr was dames career yr 😂 obviously he isn’t as good as last yr
People always bring up the past but forget about Jrue and KP meanwhile we hear about Dame in Milwaukee
Nick be chatting just extra selective with facts…Celtics were not full strength no holiday or hauser…the game in actuality wasn’t as close as the score Celtics were up 20 and was just coasting till they were put under pressure
Lmao nuggets sweeping the Celtics
Celtics will exploit those mismatches. Dame and Beasley are targets for sure. Celtics in 5, if Bucks can even get out of first round 😂
Sleeping on an air mattress for what reason?! You can afford a bed bro and they deliver it lol. Makes no sense
I would argue that having these good games against good teams without Giannis is not a good thing.
They are obviously a better team with Giannis, but he changes their entire dynamic. Portis doesn't go off like this in these games if Giannis is playing.
I think its the exaxt opposite. Dame needs to play more with Giannis. Dame needs to find a away to be consistent while playing wjth Giannis that is the problem.
Holiday didn't play last night, soo Celtics weren't at full strength. Also Hauser didn't play.
The Bucks are 12-11 since Doc took over, have a sub 500 record on the road, and can't play defense. I reckon they lose in the first round again.
For some reason when it comes to the bucks, moral victories is a thing. No one has more MWs than those guys🤦🏽♂️
Message to emotional Celtic fans 🙂 calm down and enjoy the rest of the season. You're not going to play well every game and almost blew that one last night. The Celtics have a lot to prove when it comes to the playoffs particularly getting to the finals and winning it. Take it easy and have a bowl of clam chowder😂
Celtics in 6
didn’t realize no jrue meant full squad for the celtics
Nick blows
Nick Wright is a celtics hater over the years.
celtics arent in full strength nick wrong holiday was missing from the line up..ofcourse he riding moral victory no matter what celtics did nick still damage controling
Wright has always hated the Celtics.
Jrue Holiday being out helped Milwaukee they actually had to gisrd everyone playing
Weakest thing on Bucks is Beasley, he'd be the only reason why they lose, they may be good enough to overcome his flaws, but the other teams players light up when he's gaurding them, pound for pound, I've only seen 1 worser player ever, but then again, Celtics got Holiday, and we saw how bad Holiday was in the 1st round last year, so that may offset it,
