GET UP | “This is an epic butt whooping” – Tim Legler SHOCKED Celtics DOMINATED absolutely Warriors

Let’s run the floor we had the Oklahoma City knocking off Phoenix yesterday I don’t know how much attention people are paying to the Thunder what was your biggest takeaway well I think for that say gilis Alexander is an Unstoppable offensive force in this league and I think he’s a

Guy now that’s elevated himself to primary MVP status I think he’s going to get a lot of MVP votes and you saw a team that has incredible chemistry amongst their starters and the reason a big part of it has been Health greeny they’ve only missed 10 games total

They’re five starters all season and they’re led by a true Superstar yeah speaking of Health let’s go the opposite direction Nicks beat the Cavs but Jaylen Brunson you will see it right here this is very early in the game looks like they just banged knees and they may get

Very fortunate in escape this being as bad as it looked but the injuries are piling up for the Knicks what are your thoughts yeah listen this is a situation for the Knicks where I really thought after the Acquisitions at the trading deadline that this team could really

Challenge the Boston Celtics maybe to a higher degree than anybody else in the Eastern Conference but you’ve got to get these guys on the court at some point and establish some sort of flow we are running out of time in the regular season to get all of these guys on the

Court to establish some sort of Rhythm so it is concerning right now for the Knicks how far will they fall before they’re at full strength that’s the question will it be a for seed or potentially in the playin mean time it certainly seems like the Celtics are

Going to be the one seed and they were up 50 points at one point on the Warriors well they they won the game by 50 but they were at 50 in the second quarter of this game legs how do you explain what happened yesterday in Boston well this is basically The

Perfect Storm of the number one offensive team in the league that is a buzz saw unlike any other and a team in Golden state that was at the end of a trip they were tired they were short-handed Steph Curry didn’t even know if he was going to play I’m sure he

Now regrets actually playing in that game because he only gave him a half it was it was that embarrass embarassing and I think this is just one of those nights where if you’re Steve Kerr you do exactly what he said after the game Greenie you flush this you don’t look at

The tape you don’t talk about this game your measuring stick if you’re the Warriors is not the Boston Celtics remind yourself of that it is relevance in the western conference right now it’s not the best team in the NBA yeah Steph finished with four points and playing

Only one half so I agree with you put the Warriors out of the conversation put the Celtics in the center of it I said it this morning at our meeting if not now when if they if they don’t wi they are an odds on favorite to win the east

At ESPN bet if they don’t win it this year when are they going to if it’s the Celtics of the field which way do you go you take the Celtics certainly over the field in the Eastern Conference look I’m not going to uh automatically assume the Boston Celtics would beat the Denver

Nuggets in a seven game series and right now Denver would be my pick to represent the west and their defending Champions the bottom line is this the Celtics are going to need to get it done when it matters most this is incredible what they’re doing in the regular season and

Right now they’re not even letting teams be in the game against them particularly at home their margin of Victory is the fifth highest in the history of the league so they’re just blasting teams with this Deluge that they can hit you with offensively particularly from the three-point line 25 made threes last

Night as an example but the bottom line is you g to have to do this when it matters most and that really Falls I think well Jason Tatum and Jaylen Brown they’re going to have to continue to play This Way in those big series defining moments As you move deeper into

The season but make no mistake Boston has been the best team in the NBA this season without a doubt and they are actually playing their best basketball right now as you head down this stretch run toward the postseason so it’s perfect timing for Joe moula now you got

To figure out a way to manage this huge lead you have in the East with health rest everything else maintaining Rhythm it’s going to be an interesting Road the rest of the way for the Boston Celtics who are certain to have homecourt advantage throughout the finals absolutely they look ridiculous ously

Good leg stay close by we’ll do some more Hoops with you as we continue we’ll also go back to the combine statistically unmatched this season and they’re looking to go wire to wire in their quest to capture the East just look at all the categories they lead in three-point makes Point differential

Rebounding that one Stephen A I wouldn’t have guessed we nitpick at the Celtics enough so this I’m going to flip this on its head Stephen A why will this year be the year the Celtics just exercise their playoff demons and actually get to the mountain top because I think Tatum and

Brown are going to show the world that they legitimize the superstars in this game especially Jason Tatum I think he’s aching for an opportunity to make amends for the subpar performance he put forth against the Golden State Warriors a couple of years ago where he was neither

The first nor the second best player on the court Jaylen Brown was the best Celtic for the Boston Celtics in that final Series against the Warriors obviously and Steph Curry was the best in the business we get all of that I’m proud of what I’m seeing from porzingis

Shoot 48% from three-point range let’s not forget that okay during this 10 game winning streak averaging nearly 24 game I’m looking at that and they cut down just a touch on the amount of three-point shots they were shooting about 44 a game now they’re down about

42.6 I’m looking at that and I’m looking at Missoula constantly F you know focusing on mismatches mismatches and creating mismatches I give them props where it’s due But ultimately I believe when it comes to playoff basketball there are no secrets even though there’s we’ve seen Steve Kerr and his Brilliance

Along with others it does come down to it’s me again you I know exactly what you’re going to do what the hell are you going to do about it and I think that’s what wins you championships I think Jason Tatum has the ability to pull it

Off and I think we’re going to see him do it yeah I think it’s I think that’s all I agree with all that I I don’t know if I have the same conviction level but if you ask the same way what what is going to be different or why will they

Do it I might say because of guys like Drew holiday Dereck white these guys are probably I don’t want to say drew holiday is a role player that’s not well but there was the knock that oh who’s the Celtics point guard Marcus Smart is point guard they don’t have that

Question and now holidays defense in the playoffs is just Relentless Jerick White’s one of the most underappreciated players in the NBA porzingis has been an unbelievable fit I don’t know why you’re looking at me because I think Jimmy Butler would have something to say about that Relentless comment about holiday

That’s I finish did I let him I let him you haven’t learn how this works yet no I just thought we would respect each other you know of you I give you the listen okay thank you uh here’s what’s gonna be fascinating there’s going to be moments in the playoffs in the Eastern

Conference and then hopefully if you’re a Celtics fan in the finals where we’re going to get to see can Jason Tatum do it we’re going to get to see there’s going to be a shot he has to make a play he has to make he’s going to have to do

That right to win a championship we’re going to find that out but he’s been doing that better this year I know you have him as your MVP better than any other year and he has I don’t know that he’ll ever have a better Supporting Cast than right now I think for Boston Joe

Missoula I think this is a coach now in his second year with a full offseason a full training Camp bringing out his own staff Charles Lee a future head coach in the league Sam Cassell you know one of the greatest assistants in this league he going to have his back in the locker

Room uh with their star players uh up and down their lineup I think for Boston and having Jeff Van Gundy in that building now our former colleague one of the best basketball Minds anywhere to have him as a consultant to be able to bounce things off him I think Joe

Missoula is so much more he sure in his convictions of how they need to play he’s leading that group leading that room I think it’s such a different uh coaching situation for the Celtics heading into the postseason this year than last year when he was just thrown

Into it the Celtics look I love Boston right they they will be forever my home away from home but the fans are starting to get on my damn nerves they the type of people that want to invite you to dinner and then make you pay for it not

Only make you pay for it they want to order the appetizers they want to order the full course meal dessert and they want you to sing Happy Birthday to them and guess what it’s not even their birthday what is actually Jason the reason the reason I’m saying that is

Because you know they they want the the praise right they want you to say oh Jason Tatum he should be in the MVP conversation right and you go out on the limb and you say you know what he actually should be in the MVP conversation and then when you try to

Call him out and put a little fire up under his butt to make sure that he reminds the world on national TV and certain matchups like today when Steph Curry is going into your crib you need to show the world why you should be one of the Front Runners for the MVP they

Just get on my damn nerves I love first first of all first of all that is the most nonsensical thing that’s ever been uttered out of your mouth especially coming from you ridiculous first of all let’s cover couple of things number one you talked about you holding accountable well if you have the

Right to hold him accountable Boston fans have a right to hold them accountable the Boston Celtics fans you have praised them for years a matter of fact you’ve credited them with holding y’all accountable and establishing a standard that ultimately has led to them being one of the greatest sports

Franchises in the history of the sport in the his real Sports an but now you going to sit up here and complain about them the way that you do that’s shameful it’s shameful Stephen I’m a l I know I talk slow but I’m smart as hell okay and

You cannot pull that on me I said nothing about a account ability all I was saying said get your damn nerv but the reason why is because when we talk about Jason Tatum and we talk about these matchups like today that we would like to see him demonstrate why he

Should be on why he should be and I’m simply saying Boston fans have never changed it helped you win a ring finish this I let me give you some invite don’t criticize i r enemy double kill Our base is under Attack [Applause] Defeat [Applause] WI I let I let for E For [Applause] think Got fore blood an enemy has been Defeated an ally has been defeated you have defeated an Enemy fore Foree Noer for an enemy has been defeated an enemy has been [Applause] defeated K You deated an Enemy an enemy has been defeated dest Tower spee Ultimate fore an enemy has been defeated enemy has deated I will not die the
