FIRST TAKE | Boston exposed as frauds! – Stephen A. on NBA-leading Celtics losing to the Hawks again

Without Trey young Boston led by 30 points at one point but Atlanta stormed back to win 120 118 last night the Seas had a chance to get some Revenge but uh no dice jonte Murray had 44 points on 44 shots including all 11 of Atlanta’s points in overtime to seal the win talk

About dialed in all right perk our back-to-back losses to the Hawks a cause for concern for Boston a team that most of us have you know in the Eastern comp finals well Miley I I appreciate the tea up but I want to I want to hear what Jay

Will has to say about this first you going to come to me first sure by the way perk I was hearing a little bird or something in your house earlier like I know you have dogs but like I don’t know what’s happening we have I know you have

People that take care of your lawn I don’t know if you have people that take care of your pets but what do you have the windows open like what’s happening no no I’m just I’m saying Miley is Good Friday the birds are chirping outside they may be sing to I mean they they

Should be tripping on Sunday but I I’ll explain that later I uh I I’ll kick it off uh perk I 44 points on 44 shots even though he had 11 points in the fourth like I okay but there is something to hear around human nature and I get the way you play

Towards the end of the season maybe you can that can translate into the playoffs but I I feel as if I’ve seen almost the entire body of work to know what’s on the line for the Boston Celtics I also feel as if watching Jason Tatum and Jaylen Brown I mean look I

Came out earlier and I was wrong at the beginning of the season because I thought there was more Chemistry Between Dame and Giannis and that’s still to be determined but the proof is in the body of work with the chemistry and how Jason Tatum and Jaylen Brown have came

Together to lead this team now we still need to see the proof is in the pudding in the playoffs but there is a human nature that I understand that when you lock up the number one seed there is a part of you especially for the Celtics

That we will look at how they handled the playoffs and how they enter the playoffs more than anything else they’ve done throughout the regular season right now we can say okay they from the beginning to end they dominate the regular season so I know we can get into

The Weeds on these nuances but when you lock up the number one seed it’s human nature for this team to look ahead to what’s about to come because they know that’s go time so as I hear you on Deonte Murray dropping 44 and 44 points and hitting a game winner and them

Losing backto back to Atlanta okay to a degree but let Atlanta get in that eighth spot let them get in that eighth spot and then I want to see how all that interpretation is going to be handle when we get into playoff time and it’s really time for the Celtics to strap up

Cuz I think we’ll see a difference Celtics team I knew it was going to come a point a time on this show that I was going to have to get my feet hot with you and damn it is right now okay listen first of all it’s how this has happened over

The last couple games for the Boston Celtics being up 30 a couple nights ago okay and then all of a sudden without Trey young the Atlanta Hawks they come back and beat you okay then last night Murray I they took 40 44 shots I get all

That but the shot he did take he sent the Celtics home okay now we talk about going into the postseason you do realize Jay and you know this you never know who’s watching and why do I say that because you have NBA Scouts in the stands why are those NBA Scouts from

Other teams in the stands because all the NBA teams are gearing Up For What the post season and right now the Celtics are showing that they’re vulnerable this is a team that is championship of bus I don’t believe there’s no other team in the NBA that has more pressure than the Boston

Celtics I won’t buy that so when I think about what they have in play they need to be playing their best basketball going into the postseason I understand one loss but you get another bite at the Apple you get an opportunity with all your guys available your starting five

Who people has been saying the best start five in basketball you get a chance to go out there and showcase that hey I want to put doubt in anybody mind especially in the Eastern Conference that if you come playing playing against us we’re going to stomp you out you have

No chance and that’s a huge deal going into the postseason is making sure that your opponents have doubt right now I don’t think it’s any body in the Eastern Conference that’s fearing the Boston Celtics I really don’t I really really don’t and you think if they had beat the

Hawks last night that would have instilled fear if you don’t think anybody fears them you think if they had won one out of two that would have instilled fear cuz obviously they’re 55 and 16 it shows they can get got I think it’s that kind of thing everybody can get got they

Haven’t but they’ve been knocking at the door and they haven’t gotten it done Jay like how many times has this team gotten all the way there and then they can’t seal the deal this is what I laugh even I’m I’m going give you I saw I saw you

With Pat MC yest said great job by the way we got to pause on that how how did that happen that was hilarious Thunder I’m in my office and I’m like looking over and I was like you know what this little Union right here this is

Everything right now but I had to go so I couldn’t watch yeah I mean I mean I don’t know M you you never know when it comes down to me okay you just never know I might may may be in Indiana yeah keep them guessing baby yeah you gotta so since so

So speaking of you being on Pat M show yesterday I I you know you said the NBA takes a backseat the college basketball during this time of the year so I’m going to give you a little college basketball analogy because it’s it’s one of my pet peeves one of these things

That happened in colle Bas so we have like one seeds right and obviously the playoffs and the NCAA tournament two completely different Beast right best of seven one game series but I always laugh when somebody say well you know here’s this team they’re the number one seed

They lost one of the last five or six games looks like they’re taking their eye off of it come on man because we Lo because the Celtics have lost back-to-back games to the Hawks with Drew how and Derek white in their first game back now we’re going to say there’s

Questions to be concerned about the Celtics cuz they lost to a team by one point even though they blew a lead even though I just said it’s human nature now we’re going to make a case that we’re worried about a team who’s 55 and 16 every team has warts big every team has

Challenges there’s a lot for Boston get over but come on man that’s what we’re going to do now and you and you know what’s been a major concern for the Boston Celtics their clutch Time moments especially Jason Tatum do you do you know this Jay do you know players that

Actually qualify for clutch time shots meaning goahead baskets or time uh baskets Jason Tatum ranks 25 out of he ranks 20 25th out of 25 players that qualify so what it tells me is when it’s down to the clutch when it matters the most I don’t know if the Celtics could

Actually complete the mission that close out games now when they have a big league going into the fourth and they’re dominating and they’re at home especially we know that they’re going to handle business but we also know that in the postseason coaching matter the game

Is going to slow down and now all of a sudden you got Joe missou who I have respect for that I feel like has done an excellent job since well good job since taking over you know uh the role of the head coach you know when

E may yoka was uh uh left but at the end of the day think about the coaches that he has to go against in this Eastern Conference possibly a Doc Rivers people can say what they want about doc but Doc is proven he’s a hell of a coach Hall of

Fame coach a Tom Tibido a oser a nick a Quin Snider you have some excellent coaches that are going to have their players prepared I heard y’all talking earlier today with Coach Seth my guy and Molly jumped in bragging about her Yukon Huskies rightfully so and we talked

About coach and we talked about Coach Hurley I didn’t heard his postgame interviews and the big thing he always talk about he show major love to his assistant coaches and he talk about their preparation I believe that coach Hurley one day will be a hell of an NBA

Coach if he decides to go that route preparation and that guy that’s walking up and down that sideline directing traffic that matters so preparation has nothing to do with the team being 57 and 16 the best record in the NBA like I I understand we’re going to find fors hold

On let me ask you another question big perk since you’re so concerned about the Celtics if Atlanta finds a way to get to the AC you going to take Atlanta over to Celtics go ahead I’ll wait I Jay Jay listen I’m not say something I say something real quick don’t you feel like

He’s a little dialed in with the Boston Celtics I do I also think that he’s dialed in so much yeah that he’s going to find concern when actually he’s too close to but when he’s speaking about this I’m kind of reading between the lines that he might know a little more

Than us of things that need to happen with that team like we know the talent there but maybe there’s some things that you can control that they’re missing well of of course there’s a lot to prove they have to go prove it but I’m just I

I’m not going to say that there’s not things that have to be shown in the playoffs about Joe moula and some of the coaching techniques that he’s had I I get all that those things have to be proven I’m just not going to say that because of back-to-back losses to the

Hawks when they have the number one seed locked up I’m not going to draw a conclusion from that to say well now I’m overly concerned about the Celtics Jay Jay Jay is not what you do do is how you do it and I’m talking about the clutch BS and listen this is

Not a Sprint when it comes down to the Boston Celtics this is a marathon again remember when we started this topic I said it’s championship of bus so even if you get through even if the Celtics get through the Eastern Conference which they should they they still have to win

The NBA championship and Lord knows they don’t want to face the Denver Nuggets because when we talk about clutch moments and we talk about having to be in for 48 minutes then it’s really a level of concern for the Boston Celtics what also about how they m match up with

The joker cuz that dude is different yeah that dude is nobody’s matching that’s what I’m saying that’s yes that was good stuff guys it’s very entertained got to get take a quick commercial break still to come Dak Prescott’s on track to be a free agent after next season should he want to go
