Austin Rivers DOES have concerns with the Boston Celtics? 👀 | Get Up

In Cleveland Celtics came in having won 11 straight Kelsey brothers are there it’s their bobble head night Jason Tatum having fun this bucket puts them up 22 in the fourth quarter yeah I mean this is what we see from Boston on the time just ha him being aggressive getting to

The basket getting to the line uh The Duel was what I see is the best du in the NBA Jason tatman but then it was vintage dwade and by that I mean D Dean Wade someone someone named Dean Wade went crazy last night for Cleveland I me vintage Cavs that that one caught

It to three with four minutes left remember it was a 22-point lead then how about George Nang in the corner the Cavs are in it can’t leave him open shooter they call him the minivan knocks it down it’s a 25-6 run that ties the game now final 23 seconds

Cavs down oh it’s dwade again Cavs Take the Lead they’re up by one now here’s your ball game Jason Tatum working working probing remember they’re down by one where get get the whistle but wait there’s more they’d look at it again was it or was it not a foul Austin I’m going

Foul you believe he should have gotten the foul I know he kicked out but people got to understand a fade away that is a natural motion of a shooter is to kick out your legs a little bit he also got him on the chest but I don’t mind the no

Call you can’t give up a 20-point lead man that that that can’t happen so let’s explain exactly what happened the Celtics blow the lead of 22 points in the fourth quarter our analytics say they had a 99.9% chance to win the Celtics as an organization had won

364 consecutive games when leading by 20 at any point in the fourth quarter but in case it wasn’t clear as we went through it there they actually blew the whistle on the play with Tatum reviewed it and decided to resend the foul no foul game ends there so once again

Austin do you believe that should have stood as a foul this is a 50/50 call man this is really close close uh I think sometimes when you’re at home this is one of those calls that go your way uh especially when you come back down from

20 you had the whole crowd the momentum like y’all said it was Travis Kelce the Kelsey were in the house everything was going for the Cavs you know sometimes you got to give the crowd what they want I mean you look at you look at the Cleveland Cavaliers right you have the

Ma stru uh fourth quarter where he goes for 15 and you win the game on the half court side and now Dean Wade has an excellent game and you finish against the Boston Celtics the only thing to me is if you call the foul the the foul

Should stand I think once I think once you review it now you’re starting to critique it and look at it in a different way if live in that moment that seems like a file to you you heard Austin say that’s the natural motion of a fade away and it’s also sort of the

Finish through by Darius garland that causes that foul I think it should have stood but if you’re the Boston Celtics that’s not what Joe moula is talking about when they getting me no absolutely first of all Tatum pushes off clearly with the elbow at the beginning of the

Play but that’s not what they review they called the foul on Garland and then overturned it they decided there was indisputable Visual Evidence that it wasn’t a foul that’s a very very puzzling decision that’s made in the final moment there we’ll have much more Hoops as we go let’s run the floor lot

Of interesting moments in the NBA last night let’s start with KD he had 35 Suns beat the Nuggets in overtime is Phoenix a team we should be paying attention to they’re dangerous they got talent um when you got a guy like that Kevin Durant who’s capable of scoring on

Anywhere of the floor obviously they’re missing Devon Booker as well with those two when you have Kevin and Devin surrounded by the role play that they have Eric Gordon Grayson Allen is having a career year Royce O’Neal has been a good pickup for them nurk uh they’re talented we haven’t seen it consistently

And that’s a worry so that’s what we got to look out for I I I think the suns are a team to pay close attention to down the stretch meanwhile what are the right things to say about Victor wanyama right now oh well listen he got 45 drops on

Him last night so I don’t want to give too much praise for him last night but seven Blocks he’s been you know marvelous all season I think the Spurs really are under pressure this summer to surround him with a decent point guard uh he’s played this well without one you

Only imagine if you put someone next to him that could tee him up to get some easy points how good he can be sometimes I watch him with the ball it looks like he is a decent point guard yeah he can do it all man frightening I mean we open

The show with the Cavaliers coming back again in case you didn’t see this Cavs led by that guy dwade and and by that I mean dean Wade came from 22 down in the fourth quarter to beat a Boston team that hadn’t lost in over a month so I

Don’t want to overstate this one loss for the Celtics it happens right I mean you just took your foot off the gas in the fourth quarter they got a questionable call at the end and it happens but I want to hear your take on something I talked about with legler

Yesterday okay I’m watching your dad’s team right now in Nook I’m watching them knock off the clippers the other night without Giannis and Dame starting to cook a little bit Y and I feel like the momentum is starting to move in the right Direction and I don’t know maybe

I’ve been burned too many times by believing in this group of Celtics I know they’ve added a piece or two I really believe the Bucks are not they’re not just the biggest threat to the Celtics which I think is an easy thing to say yeah I think they are a

Legitimate threat I think it is a two horse race not a one horse race in the East I agree with you um I think this was hard to see and say you know a month ago obviously when uh doc first got there you know the Daman Yannis thing

Hadn’t really worked worked they had a lot of turmoil a lot of stuff happened during the season obviously Dame for Drew is a big big big transaction and you know Dame’s a totally different player than Drew so that was going to take some time but you’re starting to

See this team now play with a little chip on their shoulder they added Pat Beverly who’s been marvelous for them he’s added uh a little bit of just toughness to their perimeter defense they still I think need more perimeter defense but I mean listen man this

Team’s rolling right now and if we talk about who could contend and who can compete against Boston Milwaukee is absolutely right there with a healthy New York Knicks right behind him people keep talking about the Knicks if they get healthy first of all I mean it’s such a shame what has happened because

As one who’s lived here pretty much all my life I mean they’ve finally become a fun team for the fans to root for now they’re just decimated by injury but at the end of the day with all I mean Jaylen Brunson has had a magnificent season balling but if if you’re going to

Get in a seven game series with those Celtics I will take Giannis and I will take Dame and I will take my chances you know the the biggest thing for me is now Giannis has a closer you know Dame has been one of the best clutch players that

We’ve seen in the past 10 years he now has a guy that can help him close games Giannis is a lot of things but he’s one guy that can’t really shoot so when the playoffs happen and that game shrinks and he can’t really get to the basket

You need a guy like this so now that they have that Middleton’s getting healthy uh again Beasley’s having a career year poris is starting to find his rhythm you’re starting to see this team fall into place and be what we thought they could be when DNE first got

There and that is a contending team absolutely I’m planting my flag on this the buck the Bucks and the the Celtics if they meet in the NB in the Eastern Conference Finals which I think is where this ultimately is all I give Milwaukee an ex Much More Than Just A Punch’s

Chance I don’t believe you can then overturn it if this was something that you let Darius Garland do in live action and you don’t call the file then I think everybody goes home and it’s not one of those situations to where you’re questioning the official after calling

The file then resending it not it doesn’t make it well you were a very physical player back in your eighth grade days so you have a different idea what should and shouldn’t be say she was the noted goon she was the Charles Oakley of her basketball team but now let me just let

Me just say let me just underline again what RC just said I’m not sure how you make that call on the court and overturn it the problem based on what we just saw that is a very very questionable what hard to believe about me being a goo

Decision that is made now don’t get me sidetracked here I got Jason tat in the meantime they had a 99.9% chance to win this game with a 22-point lead in the fourth quarter they had had won 364 straight games when leading by 20 in the fourth so that is a wild well I

Think that’s the problem and that’s also why you’re trying to plant your stake for the Milwaukee Bucks because when you when you give up a 20-point lead to a Cleveland Cavalier team that doesn’t have Donovan Mitchell on the court and then because of that sort of stress

Because of giving up that lead now I’m one of the best players in the entire NBA Jason Tatum makes a mental mistake which he mens after the game saying I shouldn’t have allowed the clock to run down those are the things that scare you about Joe Missoula and the Boston

Celtics especially with a guy like Dame that can close the Celtics had a 22-point lead in the fourth quarter of this game in Cleveland last night so many things happened we showed you the Highlight off the top they were as a team outscored by Dean Wade himself in

The fourth quarter he had 20 points he was seven of seven from the floor he had a career night as we’ve been calling it all morning long vintage dwade just not the one that you expect here’s Austin Rivers so we’ talked about that game I’m

Going to try and let me see if I can recruit you to my side because I I walked out of the building with JJ reck yesterday you know you’re a Duke guy and and I brought this up and he kind of made fun of me I I don’t I still don’t

Trust the Celtics I I’ve sat there and watched it with my own eyes each of the last two years I was in the building doing the NBA games and I’m watching them losing games they should win and I get that they’re better now I get that

They’ve added more pieces but I look at what’s going on in Milwaukee I look at they’re getting hot at the right time Giannis who I trust Lillard who I trust I I feel like we need to tiptoe towards saying I like the Bucks to win the East

Not the Celtics as good as they’ve been it’s not far-fetched um I mean listen Boston’s been the best team All Season uh they’re the best team in the East I still believe right now I think Milwaukee’s just now getting into their groove you know when you look at a

Roster that Boston has put together particularly the starting lineup they’re probably the best balanced starting lineup in basketball the only other team that’s even in that conversation would be Milwaukee or I’m sorry Denver right um but there are concerns with Boston especially when we talk about playoffs

The collapse of last year to Miami uh them closing games last night up 20 you know Dean Wade credit to him he had a great game but that’s a guy that even after his 10th point should have been cut off um their lack of making adjustments talk about Tatum’s crunch

Time percentage I think it’s like 33% the lowest of any guy that’s shot over 40 45 shots in time these are concerns you know him and brown have to prove that this Duo can win games particularly in the playoffs so we’ll see yeah look I’m not trying to Short change their

Regular season they lose a game like once a month so I’m not trying to make a big deal out of last night all I’m saying is when it comes down to it I I love the guy on the left that I’m the biggest Drew holay what to me put over

Thep scares me makes me nervous that’s why I want you to come with me because I’ll feel better there’s safety in numbers when you make outlandish picks like that let me go to the West the other one cuz the world is basically ready penel in Boston on one side Denver

On the other y I watched Phoenix last night I watched KD go crazy I watch the Suns beat the Nuggets in overtime last night you put these two guys I don’t know what they’re going to get out of be but if these two guys are right when

They get into a I give them a real shot in a seven game series against Denver Deon and Kevin are scary this this team to me is one of those teams that you know look they’re a game and a half in almost in the playin uh this is a team

That you do not want to play first round the Firepower that they have and then you talk about the accommodating assets that they have around them Grayson Allen shooter having a career year Eric Gordon Ros Royce O’Neal was a big pickup along with nage they have good role players

There uh and then obviously you have Devin and Kevin holding it down we’re talking about a supreme team that can go into the playoffs that might not have the regular season success they’re like 12 in offensive rating which is kind of odd but you they’re always they’ve been

They’ve been hurt most of the season and it hasn’t really exactly but you put them in a seven game series with that much Firepower these three guys behind us it’s not a team I’d want to play that’s what I mean both these teams Milwaukee on one side and Phoenix on the

Other they just have to get right at the right time yep that’s all it is there still time left for them to put together a run these are the two teams to Watch
