00:03 As we look at the Celtics, the only team to reach the 40 win benchmark at
00:07 the All-Star break, and they've got more than 40.
00:10 43 and 12, the best record around the association.
00:14 Updated win total for the C's at the break, 63 and a half.
00:19 Year number two under Joe Mazzuola,
00:21 what is the best thing about what Boston has done throughout this NBA season?
00:25 >> I think it's just finding the ideal balance with these five players and
00:29 their starting lineup.
00:30 Now you see way less pressure on the shoulders of Jason Tatum and Jalen Brown.
00:33 Jason Tatum is only getting about 25 points per game, Jalen Brown around 21, 22.
00:38 But you see just the balance of Drew Holiday and
00:40 Kristoff Porzingis putting in their points.
00:42 Derek White putting up around 15 points per game.
00:44 And you have all these great defenders too.
00:46 All three of those guys around, Jalen Brown, Jason Tatum,
00:48 are great above average defenders.
00:50 And that's why the thing matters most in this league is,
00:52 you have these superstar offensive wings in Brown and Tatum.
00:55 But how do you surround those guys to take the pressure off on the other end
00:57 of the court?
00:58 And I think Boston's done a fantastic job with that this offseason.
01:01 I think the one big question I have for Boston now, which might not matter
01:04 the post when the rotation go down to about seven or eight players anyways,
01:07 is their depth.
01:08 I think that's the one big question for them.
01:10 They didn't really attack the buyout market at all.
01:12 They didn't really make much trades at the deadline.
01:14 But I don't think they have to.
01:15 They're a juggernaut so far this year, and they've won already 64 games.
01:19 And that's the big question for me, is gonna be, can they get to 64, 65 wins?
01:23 I think they're gonna hit that over just barely been.
01:25 And I think they're gonna, like I mentioned,
01:26 cruise to the Eastern Conference Finals, cruise to the Finals.
01:29 And I think this Boston team's gonna be a juggernaut for
01:31 the really next couple years.
