The Celtics got lucky
What the soundtrack in the first minute of the video?
Warriors looked like the much better team last night, Boston was extremely lucky to win.
Boston is the 'best team in the league' the same way the Suns were last season.
Curry’s not in game shape again yet. And he was still obviously the best player on the court and could get anything he wants whenever he wants it. At end of year, they’ll dominate everyone. You read it here.
Refs won last night, Celtics didn't do much and didn't look great.
I’m a Celtics fan and RJ has a good point. Until we beat them like we trounced the hornets, Jayson Tatum and his crew will still have that monkey on their back. Turnovers, poor shooting, bad shot selection,… it’s still a mental thing, but for them finding a way to win will help them
Perkins is too biased
Celtics were very lucky to win this game
The warriors play there hardest against Boston ain’t no record involved they play like it’s the finals and if they played like that every game they wouldn’t lose and if they won last night RJ would of been talking different different ctfu
Boston not doing nothing watch when they get to the playoffs & choke
I agree with Perk, Tatum needs to tap into his inner PF, instead of his inner SG. That 6’10 frame will do more for him than trying to Eurostep around <6’5 defenders in the paint. 19 boards is highly impressive, he needs to do more of that.
It’s RJ, who cares. Him and nick weight are certified Celtics haters
It's always gold when RJ and Perk get into it 😂😂😂
We already know RJ hates the Celtics nothing new
I'm not sure what we're even talking about here.. Steph is this generation's Michael Jordan, minus the praise! Man has an old hobbled team, in the middle of a rebuild, getting nothing out of their #2 pick, and has no prime max recruits.. Celts have all of the above including youth, and only won by 3 in OT! I see nothing but issues for the Celts.. no idea which game Perk was watching!
This is the reason no one brings up that 2016 "comeback" because more of the same.. Steph with a normal NBA roster, right out of the draft and a rookie head coach vs LeBron, no salary cap, 3 max Allstars, James.. they still needed a suspension AAAANNNDDD 7 games to end Steph's spectacular season! Once LeBron said, "someone needs to look into Draymond" on LIVE TV.. I knew Steph was Michael Jordan.. only Kobe, Mike and Steph are capable of that..
Just Stop… Klay hit all ball camera shows…. Ball was still in Als hand at 0…. Poole was fouled clearly hit his wrist…. Warriors robbed
The Celtics is still the same team as last year, if GS overcomes the west and we'll have a rematch… the result will be the same…
Once they start bickering and talking over each other, I have to change channels. Annoying and disrespectful.
So let me get this straight. . As long as Jason Tatum gets 19 rebounds every time they play Golden State. . They’ll be okay 😂
I really don't like this woman on this show all the people they gave a show to they gave it to this high yellow woman who despises black men had the nerve when they hired the new coach when they got rid of nodoka she had the nerve to bring up the background of of this new coach of the Celtics I don't even understand what was the point of his his past about an assault when he was younger in college what does that have to do with the job. But of all the things she could have mentioned about maybe the inexperience of this guy this that the other she brings up something this totally to me on related. And if that was something important I'm sure that Boston Celtic organization that is their need to know. If it applicable to this job she is such a hater I have nothing good to say about this woman… Steven A had to put her in her place about a comment she made when that wholem udoka story broke it's like she went on this Crusade is for women being hurt by anybody I don't want women call themselves victims of things that they also everybody needs to be responsible in the process of anything.
This is insane to me. People really are in the comment section acting like the Warriors are even likely to get out of the west. The Nuggets are a different breed this year. Aaron Gordon has stepped up, KCP is playing out of his mind, Murray is hitting his stride, Jokic might be a 3 time MVP. That home court advantage in Denver could be a serious problem this year. I understand that the Warriors have ran the west for the last decade but this is a different year. Focus on avoiding the playing tournament before focusing on beating the Celtics in the finals
Perk is the worst sports analysts ever 🤦♂️
We know Perks is certified GSW hater. What's new?
I wonder if y’all will ever stop using “HEATED” in the thumbnail …. It’s never been heated , not once lol
Perk needs to chill. As a C's fan RJ is right the celtics have always been the better team, they've just never played great basketball against the warriors. This was an ugly game but good for the celtics, tbh the warriors had this but choked hard.
😂 Did we all watch the same game?! FTs saved Tatum. He and Brown were trash most of that game. The rebounds hurt GS for sure but the players that would normally be in are hurt. Kuminga, J Green, Iggy and even Wiseman are better size for rebounding than Lamb, Donte, Draymond, and Steph. The Warriors were not locked in down the stretch and had Steph, Klay and Poole turn the ball over. Steph throws up a random shot, even for him. If the Warriors ever feel like playing 48 mins of ball, they get smacked.
Wiggins and Steph are not even in game shape yet. And they are giving Boston way too much credit for winning a 3 point game at home. Warriors blew Boston out on Christmas without Wiggins or Steph. The playoffs are a completely different animal. Everybody's record goes back to zero it doesn't matter what you did in the regular season.
Perk & RJ is like a married couple who hate each other😂
Let's clear up some things here. Boston was at home, they won in overtime, it was no blowout, it wasn't an easy victory, it could have gone either way. People forget quickly, Playoff finals last year Warriors lost the first game by a wider margin then this game and then won the second in Boston and won the series 4-2. Remember that people. Warriors can turn it on when they want to. All the Warriors haters exaggerate things so much hoping the Warriors are going to roll over and die and not make the playoffs. The only person who has enough sense, brains, real experience and guts is Stephen A. and he's not ready to count them out. The dubs are a bit too egotistical for their own good, they believe they can turn it on any time and beat anybody in a series, home advantage or not. So please get real, the fat lady hasn't even cleared her throat yet. Let's she which song she sings at the end. 'nuf said.
Don’t these guys know what causes rebound’s? When the other team is missing 3 pointers ofcourse you end up with easy rebounds don’t praise them like they were contested rebounds it’s easy to get rebounds against Holden state
Fire these 2 they’re making the show unwastchable
Alls I'm saying is 34 pts in 27 shots is not that great
You’ll notice no one mentioning that he went 30 % on his FG and had 7 turnovers,
If Wiggins wasn’t shooting like he drunk it woulda been over
I’m glad someone has the Celtics back, but I wish it wasn’t perk. He’s just too dumb. We need a real insightful conversationalist
Why is this incompetent man Perkins even employed by espn
richard "I hate boston,just look at my body language" jeffesrson
If tnt had shows every day no one would watch this trash
No one beats the warriors in a 7 game series
🤣🤣🤣 only way to settle this is a 1v1 to 7
Perk is spot on here. Jemmerson is a flip flopper.
To bad the women don’t get into it. That’s prob because who ever is sucking pipe will stay and the other female will go. When that Rachael chick got fired it made me see what
Goes on at espn and behind the scenes
