Perk be preaching real talk, just saying 🤗
Perk is so insufferable.
if luka is a point guard then hes the best point guard in the league
I like this new guy 🧐
Bucks and Celtics and warriors are in the same position. If they all don’t do well in the playoffs people getting traded
KP hasn’t made a new take all Year ain’t no point of having him on tv he repeat the same take word for word
Celtics are soft but their coach is also arrogant and a GOOFBALL
Tatum & JB stat padding gone wrong LMAO
Thanks you, Douglas, Perk, and McNutt. Put some respect in the Knicks name.
If Joel Embied was on the Celtics you would not hear a word of injury prone on B.E.S.P.N.
They been beating everyone all year long and once they lose a game, "the concern level is high" 😂😂
Jrue holiday is not a dog. He’s a sweetheart.
Celtics are gonna be alright, but I was happy to see the Knicks go into Boston and beat them, they punched the bully in the mouth.
It's been championship or bust for the Celtics the last 2 to 3 years we all need to get over it right now they just good on paper come playoffs thats it
0 chance Celtics don’t make the finals. The east is weak asf
The past few weeks the media coverage has been can they even make it to the finals, then there was Media coverage about JT not being a finisher, a week ago their was talks about the Celtics inability to close out games despite the season they are having and now they are talking about if they are even tough as a team to even win. Only time will tell if the Celtics have what it takes.
Im tired of this bro..This team has gotten complacent and the last 2 games was teams more desperate..I get the trepidation because they haven't won, but lets not act like this is a big deal..Perk said it, season starts again April 20th..
Perk drives me nuts. Celtics win a game and he’s got them winning it all, Celtics lose a game and it’s over for Celtics. And yes Perk it is championship or bust but the last 2 games has NOTHING to do with the championship.
I've seen them win all season long without breaking a sweat. That is a bad omen.
This media is too much.
Give these guys a break… they have 66wins this season. A. Few games won't matter
You guys are in the comments hating on perk but he ain’t do nothing but speak facts
I wouldn’t be surprised if they went all the way and I also wouldn’t be surprised if they lost to Atlanta in the first round that’s how up n down they are
Perk so funny bro😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
This is all on Brad for giving a championship team a clueless 34yo dude to coach them. Great job.
Stop picking on kp if he is healthy he will show up big
Celtics will definitely make the Finals. The East is so weak, I don’t see how they don’t. They can’t beat the West.
With Denver. I think people always confuse the strategy needed. Jokic, he’s really tough to guard in any series for the opponent. You do not try to limit him, you have to stop ‘Murray’, which, I feel is more doable for the Celtics or most teams facing Denver.
Boston's top three are Pippina…not one killer
Idk why we going thru all this nonsense. Heat in 6 like usual.
Monica needs to go. Terrible analyst.
um not worried at all. it’s the celtics time
They look like a team just waiting for the playoffs to start. I don't think it's any deeper than that
62-17 , hasn’t been close all season but concern level "high" 😂 SO WHAT THE WEST IS TOUGH . The Celtics only has to see 1 west team if they make the Finals. EVERY team has concerns going into the playoffs
They say Tatum n Giannis is neck n neck. Well Greek has a ring already.
Celtics are not getting out of east playing selfish style of basketball
I don’t think they are going to win a championship this year either!!!
It’s the same thing over and over again for the Celtics they need another coach to teach them accountability!!!
I thought I saw Kevin Hart 😂
this analysis is so ridiculous. the Knicks win a game against the Celtics (after losing four in a row) at the end of the season when the Celtics have nothing to play for. so ridiculous. do they pay Perk to say ridiculous B.S. about the Celtics only?
The is the biggest overreaction ever. The Celtics are the 1 team in the nba that has their seed on lock. The Knicks have a legit shot at the 2 seed!! They’re fighting for a preferable spot, Boston is not. Shut up Perkins
