The Inside Crew Talks Boston’s Dominant Win In MIA + Who Should Make Moves In The East | NBA on TNT

Studioj in Atlanta where we never close it is inside the NBA presented by KIA coming to you live at what I got 1246 1:00 I’m down with that 1:00 sh ladies and they can’t fire they can’t fire all three of us a very unrealistic goal you’re here for the Long Haul

Aren’t you Shaq I’m with you since 1989 my brother come K they can’t fire everybody walk out of here they fire you too we’ll have much more on Sacramento’s dramatic victory over Golden State in just a bit but we start the highlights the way yall be bullying people in the

East there Rivals weak you a right be bullly har Terry Boston and Miami in in the Eastern Conference Finals three of the last four years was this was Boston start to finish you saw J ad Here Comes Jaylen Brown connecting from deep and Chris stops poor zingis was feeling it oh

Don’t bring your wife we Le in The Green Room Chris again he’s playing great had 14 in the first quarter I think he’s at third piece to get him over the hump Scary Terry Terry roier got the start tonight it’s going to be interesting how

To 10 block go me get that put that back in for just got to give him a little time yeah yeah a little time and you got to play faster with him yes much faster yeah you don’t have to run as many STS give me that come on

Man this team is a well they’re number they’re number 29 in in the league are they that’s why that’s why they went out and got Scary Terry 29 in Pace 29 in Pace 13-point Boston lead at the half and they kep the pedal when Boston shoot like that ain’t no nobody’s going to

Beat him oh yeah night when you shoot 22 out of 40 from deep and then porzingis this just really unfortunate man he can he can never get a break man when it come to injuries rolls the ankle after scoring 19 would return to the bench but not return to the

Game good defense and Drew holiday on the other end all starters and double figures for Al Horford out of the corner and then Derek white man they keep coming at you 143 to0 is your final score Boston shoots 64% they’re 17 and one this year when

They shoot 50% or better uh and they win this one going away uh behind 26 from Tatum 19 from porzingis 18 from Jaylen Brown you know Alli leforce was working that game really yeah and has this report well the Boston Celtics came to Miami with the best record in the league

Facing a Heat team who had lost four straight they traded away Kyle Lowry for Terry Rosier hoping to give the offense a boost but it wasn’t enough for a Celtics team that shot 63% led by their recently named All-Star starter Jason Tatum you just try to get better every

Day right um no matter if you went by 30 or two it just count as one win so uh we still got a long way to go but these Celtics fans that travel you we we here let’s go Celtics um and more than half

The Arenas we go to so they give us that extra energy it’s a great way to close out the road trip and uh ready to get back home it was a humbling night that’s for sure you do have to um respect the body of work that

They’ve done you know so far uh in this season that’s the standard you know we’re going to get to work on on this and and improve it I saw Improvement uh it’s not enough and we’ll continue to work on until we get it where we need to

So I don’t know if it’s the best we’ve played but I think it’s it’s pretty the most intentional that we’ve played I think it’s just one of those games where we have to say when we’re at our best uh we impact each other on both ends of the

Floor and um we saw some moments of that tonight this East is going to be fun to watch as we head to the trade deadline as we head toward the allstar break based on some of the moves we’ve seen already and you’re just wondering what’s the next what’s the next move a team

Makes and we see Milwaukee with a coaching change what do you make of what we’re going to see down the stretch here well you know I I hate to kind of put in position of like who should be moved and what chess pieces should be placed you

Know you don’t have to do that just say who should make a move I think overall thank you Chuck I think overall you know there are four or five teams can I see the list here four or five teams attention and I I I give you the

Standings when I sit down go night so if we’re talking Eastern Conference we we we probably we’ve seen the Heat make the move you know we have to see if the the magic and Bulls uh Magic trying to move move up and add a piece the Bulls kind

Of dissembling and saying this is not our team um so that that the Bulls have the pieces that could affect the Eastern Conference or Western Conference who is who is best positioned to make a move on Boston 7 Sixers the 7 six in my opinion cuz they

Got two guys who going to be Allstars they got an I think they need to make a move personally I told you I told you what would you add here Philly I’d go out uh Caruso I love Caruso he’s just dying in Chicago uh dejonte Murray here in

Atlanta uh Bruce Brown up in Toronto you got to do something if you just look what just happened in the last week Ernie the Miami Heat says no no no we need to be relevant they made a move the Milwaukee Bucks made a move the only

Team in my opinion that’s set is the Celtics they don’t have to do anything everybody else got to get better because Milwaukee don’t scare you Philly don’t scare you the Pacers the Pac and I remember I told you last week I said yo man I would love to see the Cleveland

Cavaliers get healthy because they got a ton of talent they just never get healthy but other than the Celtics there’s nobody in the Eastern Conference scare me I mean and you give Cleveland credit because they’ve hung in there in that top four and five without Evan Mobley in there with Darius Garland out

Jared Allen and Donovan Mitchell have done a great job of keeping those guys where they are yeah but you like go ahead Jack it’s only two teams that if they make a move it’s a definite Championship all the other teams that they make moves that’ll just get them

Better we’re not talking we’re talking championships I agree with Chuck Philadelphia needs to make a move but they do have enough pieces but I think the secret weapon for them is Tobias Harris you always have to have a a other that plays great like and he sat out

Tonight like I need I need like know same thing like you know porzingis is doing porzingis is averaging 20 if I can get Tobias Harris 15 to 20 to 25 every game especially in the postseason plus embiid the way he’s playing like right now inid is Unstoppable Max is

Unstoppable they have a shot how important is a bench I mean when you’re looking toward playoff time and you’re looking at a team like Philadelphia last in the league in bench points how how important is that or are you just going to say hey look maxi beat are going to

You can’t have you can’t have two guys see I think that’s why I think Philly need to make a move to improve their bench I didn’t know they were last in the league but their three best players all start they don’t get anything out of

The bench I know they would last but you have to say to yourself okay who are we trying to beat Milwaukee needs to get more athletic they have zero athletic ability other than Giannis uh on especially on the perimeter but you have to say we going to have to beat Tatum

And brown you’re not going to beat them with slow guys I mean you you you I mean you Shaq talks about uh porzingis and I love Drew holiday your first two problems are going to be Tatum and brown I don’t think at any level Ernie high school college or Pro you could play

Five six seven guys like you have to have a a a bench if you want to win it because what happens and you have to develop your bench because if you have three best players all get 30 it’s 90 points you’re not winning an NBA game

With 90 points and so those extra 30 points are vital because because what happens is as a scattering point you can’t prepare for them so you don’t you can’t say all right let’s let’s take advant let’s make sure that this guy off the bench doesn’t do this and then the

Other guy it’s too many pug uh holes to plug and let me let me just ask this as we close out this discussion in the East with Milwaukee with Doc uh if you’re gonna fix the defense that and Milwaukee’s been porous to say the least

Is it is it a Personnel thing is it a scheme thing is it an effort thing what is it go ahead all the above but you know as a players whatever system your coach brings into you have to buy into it you know D like Chuck wasn’t a great defense

Player I wasn’t but as a system you have to buy into the def like you can’t teach effort like you as a coach I shouldn’t have to tell you when you lose the ball dribbling between your legs to run back like if you want to win you say I’m

Going to run back but you definitely have to buy into what your coach is saying like they talked about U you know the last coach you know they they didn’t like their schemes you don’t like your coaching scheme you’re definitely not going to win so whatever your coach is

Saying you have to buy into his system and you have to want to do it you know Chuck talked about it earlier defense is something that you want to have you have to take pride buckle down and say hey I got to play defense that’s why I say

Timely stops because even if you’re not a good defense defensive player for the long haul you can give me two minutes Ernie you can give me cuz you know cuz I always think about Giannis and Dame they have the talent to to to get you there

But now what’s going to get us over the hump so when I talk about timely stops I’m like two minutes all I need two minutes Bobby Porter I need two minutes just stay in front just give me effort for two minutes and that’s why I think

They can’t win and see that’s why I disagree with Shaq I don’t think you can practice bad habits all the time then when you get in against Joel mbid toas Harris Maxton says now we GNA shut down jayen Brown Tatum porzingis Drew holiday if if you don’t practice good

Habits they say something about coaching I love my NFL friends I love watching Ryan Clark and Marcus Spears talk about it uh Chris KY does a fabulous job also they says if a coaches do two things they either teaching it or they let let it happen and I said man that’s really

Really good and you are you either teaching it or you letting it happen and I I think Shaq yeah I tried to buckle down when the game was on the line but if I had worked harder on defense the first quarter and practice and things like that I could have been a better

Defender and the Milwaukee Bucks hey defense is the hardest thing to do because it sucks nobody wants to play defense and I know we got a quick second but I have to agree just a little bit but more with Shaq in terms of you got to buy in like there is a defensive

Scheme that’s what I mean no I mean like mean what Shaq says Buy in if I know I’m sending Damon L I’m guarding Damon Lillet when the pick and roll comes with blitzing which means we’re double teaming him and he doesn’t step out I have a I’m guarding you differently when

I have a belief that my guy is going to jump out because I’m I’m G get a little tighter I could be a little closer and more aggressive in it before the screen comes but if my guy is not doing the scheme that we’ve talked about what you

Said I have to buy in then it doesn’t work if Doc Rivers are there adri and grien there you got to jump out on the double screen because I believe if I’m sending you Baseline that you’re going to be there it’s all about belief because every defensive scheme starts

With belief because every coach Adrien Griffith knows the NBA he knows what guys shoot well which guys you need to double team are you coming aggressively or you playing around that’s the that’s why I said you have to you have to he’s not letting it happen you got to you got

To do it yeah no but that’s why I said the players got agent griffi fired because they’re not doing what they’re supposed to do that’s that’s why I said I disagree with Shaq saying we we’re going to make timely stop if you don’t practice this stuff like you say you

Talk about did you practice defense yeah I ain’t never practice my damn defense that explains that explains you never you practice defense you got defensive schemes that y’all went over every Scouting Report every walk through every shot come on Jack I went to yall walkthroughs at my Miami I watch him

Actually do it that wasn’t real that that just like that was real y’all did the exact scheme when y’all were playing LeBron and the man I saw it the best record in the league belongs to the team you saw the Celtics are 35 and 10 I don’t

Know what I was saying at that time but I don’t think I said decle if you if you did we we knew hey see y’all tomorrow guys 101 see there we go right there Cory 101 go you miss no you missed closing time now you got to stay we’ll be back
