00:30And welcome to TD Guard and the parquet has returned after that cup game Friday a surprising one for the Celtics
00:39They've got a chance to rebound today against a red-hot Magic who have won six of their last seven
00:43Can't wait to watch it with you alongside Brian Scalabrini and Abby Chin
00:46I'm Drew Carter and we mentioned Jalen Brown had some choice words for his team after the game Friday
00:52Take a listen to this
00:53Come ready to play or don't come at all
00:56That's my whole team
00:59We got to come ready to play. We just went through the motions today. I don't understand it
01:05All right, Scal called out by the leader now trying to turn the page in this game here on a Sunday
01:10How can the Celtics do that?
01:11Well, they had an opportunity in the past they played Orlando two times in a row first time they weren't tough
01:16They weren't physical but the next night out they were wreaking havoc defensively causing turnover
01:23Scored 29 points off of those turnovers getting out running playing the passing lane
01:27The blueprint would set you know, you've got to play hard your margin for error is small guys need to
01:33To raise their level to get the win against the magic tonight
01:36Celtics basketball on NBC Sports Boston is brought to you in part by TD Bank Bank of the Boston Celtics member FDIC TD Bank NA

02:07All right, Joe Jalen Brown after the game Friday said the team went through the motions and the loss to the Nets
02:14What was your reaction to those comments?
02:17Oh, yeah, I mean obviously he's a leader of our team and you know, I agree with him
02:20There's moments of the game that we can be better and I think when we're at our best we're
02:23Consistent in our effort our discipline and our detail
02:26So that's what we're fighting for is a consistency in those three areas and we got a chance to do it tonight
02:30When you watch the film back specifically, where do you think you can be better?
02:33Yeah, I mean you can't have a 40-point second quarter
02:35I mean it's easy and you know when you cut it to two in the fourth quarter
02:38It's easy to focus on that part too, but you know
02:41I thought our issue was in the second quarter giving up 40 points, you know because of transition and individual defense and
02:45You know, I think we've done that three times this year is have a 40-point quarter
02:49And we got we got to be better defensively in those situations playing a team today coming off a back-to-back the magic
02:54We're at home yesterday. How can you try to exploit that today? Yeah, I mean listen
02:57There's always challenges regardless of what the schedule is. They're playing well. They've had a couple big wins
03:03Especially Wagner. They're doing a great job getting to the free throw line
03:06They're a great job on the glass their defense is always tough with their size and athleticism. So I was gonna be ready to go tonight
03:11And last thing we talked about this all year you guys, you know getting more steals forcing more turnovers
03:15But also fouling more at this point of the season. How do you feel about that balance? There's always situational ones
03:20I think there's you know, every foul and every turnover is looked at completely different
03:24We can't follow jump shooters can't follow in the backcourt, you know
03:28So there's always situational things that you can get better at all right. Thank you, Joe. Thank you
03:31Well, the Celtics on a Sunday back at home a chance to bounce back the green floor is gone
03:36Let's hope the winning ways return we're gonna tip it right after this
03:46The Inferno lighting up for Orlando
03:52Now Walsh on the block finds Luka Garza for the jam
03:55Oh
04:10Yes, somebody understood the reference
04:12Starting lineups are brought to you by Jordan's furniture experience the difference Jeff Christ gets all the reference
04:18Of course he does Jeff Christ you're the best
04:21Orlando Robinson is starting for the magic
04:23They are short-handed to say the least
04:25Maybe the first guy ever to have his first name on the front of his jersey and his last name on the back of his jersey
04:31Not today because the magic it's his magic on the front
04:33But Orlando Robinson has played two minutes all season
04:36He's gonna take the tap against Nami Ishkata
04:38Key matchup presented by Subaru of New England fall in love with a brand new all-wheel drive Subaru
04:44This was a big thing in the first time that we played Orlando
04:48Jalen Brown and it's not just go away from Franz Wagner set a screen get him off the body
04:54He does a great job defending Jalen Brown or attack early before their defense sets up
04:59I am really looking forward to that matchup
05:01Also, represented by the same agent
05:04Oh, interesting
05:05Yeah
05:06Health report by South Coast Health providing exceptional care
05:08Jeez
05:09From people who care the magic are missing more than 60 points and 25 rebounds combined
05:15With Paolo Bancaro and Jalen Suggs the headliners
05:18Wendell Carter also a starter
05:20Mo Wagner still out for the season
05:21Goga Bittaze a late, late scratch
05:24He's also got an ankle so the magic roll out this starting five
05:29Officiating crew Curtis Blair the crew chief along with Gediminis Petritis and Jenna Renault
05:35Magic have won six of their last seven games
05:38As Desmond Bain misses his first shot
05:44They had a great win last night against the Knicks
05:47But a lot of guys who played last night would not be playing tonight
05:50Yep, Suggs not playing on back-to-backs as he recovers
05:53From a knee issue that ended his season prematurely last year
05:56Bancaro's got the groin missing his sixth in a row
05:59Jalen Brown operating in the area
06:02Now he is Keita on the putback
06:04Off the vertical
06:05Good job by Jalen Brown keeping Wagner on his hip
06:08That really engaged Orlando Robinson
06:10Allowed Keita to get that tipped up
06:16Celtics won three straight before their loss to Brooklyn on Friday
06:20There's Tristan De Silva second year pro
06:23Offensive rebound Bain
06:24Too strong off glass
06:25Rebound down to Keita
06:28Celtics have won
06:29Six in a row against the Magic at home
06:32Since December of 2023
06:35Includes three wins in the playoffs
06:37First round last year
06:38Beat him in five games
06:39Pritchard using the body
06:41Missed the shot
06:42Anthony Black a good defender
06:45Magic as a team
06:46He saw eighth in defensive rating
06:47Fifteenth in offense
06:48They're in this six of seven streaks though
06:51They're fourth in net rating
06:52Robinson might have gotten away with a travel
06:54And he's got the first two
06:55I think Orlando's offense sputtered at the beginning of the year
06:59So I don't think we can take them
07:00For what their rating is now
07:02I think it will continue to climb
07:04Yeah working in Desmond Bain
07:06Who they traded the farm for in the offseason
07:08To get him from Memphis
07:10Pritchard around that handoff from Keita
07:13Tried to skip it to Walsh
07:16And De Silva got a hand on it
07:20Alright so watch Jalen Brown on this play
07:22I love how he keeps Wagner on his hip
07:24See engages Robinson
07:26He has to play two
07:27Keita gets that free run right at the rim
07:29That's a good look from the dunking cam
07:31It's all about the dunk
07:32Shot clock gets low
07:34Off the inbound
07:35Pritchard turns the corner
07:36Stops
07:37Scores
07:38Oh you don't see a lot of that from Pritchard
07:39Just off the core
07:40You need to step back
07:41A little body contact
07:43Nice play
07:44Wagner says
07:45I'll do it myself
07:46He is so good at attacking the rim
07:48And finishing
07:50Playing with that Batman mask
07:51After he broke his nose
07:53A couple weeks ago
07:54Jalen Brown right back at you
07:56Jalen Brown
07:57So strong
07:58All those drives
08:00Well you mentioned what the Magic did
08:01Last night
08:02It was a 5 o'clock start yesterday
08:04And a 6 o'clock start today
08:06Had to fly from Orlando
08:08Got to the hotel around 1 o'clock in the morning
08:11Walsh
08:13Walsh puts his head down
08:14Free throw is coming for Jordan Walsh
08:17It's a great attack
08:19There's really nothing there
08:21He just made it happen
08:22A little bit of a Pinoy step with the lifting of the ball right there
08:26Getting contact
08:27Going up
08:28Going up
08:32The Pinoy step popularized by players from the Philippines right?
08:36Yeah
08:38One of the guys on our radio show
08:40His name is Ronaman
08:42I knew it was called the Pinoy step
08:44I had no idea what that meant
08:46So he informed me
08:47It's kind of like a nickname
08:49Right?
08:50I think it's the people of the Philippines
08:51Yeah
08:52And when you go
08:53Everyone plays basketball there
08:54So when you watch them play
08:55They're always on the corner
08:56Everywhere you go
08:57They're playing basketball
08:58It's
08:59They love playing basketball
09:00Yeah
09:01And that's the move
09:02And the NBA just kind of adapted to it
09:03Take that
09:04Combine it with the decel step
09:05You got the new age finishing in the league
09:07No more Euro step
09:09Nope
09:10Is fouled on his trip to the road
09:12They moved to Southeast Asia
09:13Yeah
09:15This is a play this doesn't have to get better at
09:17It's a triple handoff
09:18Where now Bain is going downhill
09:22That's a little bit different than what we saw in that Brooklyn game
09:27But it was a hand back to Michael Porter Jr.
09:29We did not guard that very well
09:31And that's a different formation of the play with a different guy
09:35But it's the same kind of color of action
09:37Bain missed the first free throw
09:39As you look at Joe Missoula
09:41His team
09:42Right at 500
09:43Tenth place in the east
09:44But only two and a half games out of third
09:46Cleveland
09:47Tightly bunched
09:49After Detroit
09:50Who the Celtics will face Wednesday
09:53Here we're gonna find a lot about this team this week
09:56You know this is a week where you have
09:58Three
09:59I mean
10:00Orlando's on a
10:01Back to back
10:02And they're not playing a lot of guys
10:03So you might take this one with a grain of salt
10:05But the next two games should be
10:07Highly physical
10:11Going to Minnesota
10:12And Cleveland on the weekend
10:14Richard the feed
10:16And Ross the pogo stick
10:19Turnwall should keep getting better
10:21Learning how to play that role
10:23Bain attacks the closeout
10:25Inside Da Silva
10:27Orlando pushing the ball getting this on her heels right from the start
10:34It's amazing how different they look from last year when they were the slowest paced team in the league
10:38And not a great offense
10:40Made it to the playoffs based on their defense
10:42Right now the Celtics rocking the rim
10:45Another dunk for Kata
10:46He literally rocked the rim
10:48That thing is still swaying
10:50Yeah so going back to Orlando's pace
10:52I think they'll play faster
10:53The stats show that they play faster
10:55With Jalen Suggs
10:57He's not playing tonight
10:59But that's gonna speed him up
11:02And then you add more bodies
11:04They're just gonna play a lot quicker
11:06That's a good call
11:07Suggs is the head of the snake for this team
11:09No doubt
11:10No doubt
11:11He didn't get enough credit
11:12He's really good
11:13He's their best on off player by a mile
11:16Pritchard to catch
11:20Suggs is a net plus 17.2 on
11:23Minus 4 off
11:25That's net rating points per 100 possessions
11:30Wagner blocked by Brown but he got the foul
11:32He is so tough
11:35Alright look look at the Celtics moving the ball here
11:37A kick ahead
11:38Walsh on the dive
11:40Nice play
11:42And then Pritchard
11:44You see that's Bane action
11:46Kata going right to the basket
11:47I see Kata improving daily
11:49Offensively
11:51Hitting screens
11:52Getting out of screens
11:53He was very sluggish at the beginning of the year
11:55We're
11:56What are we
11:5715 games in
11:58And he was so much safer
12:00Comforts of home is presented by Bernie and Phils
12:02Choose from their two best offers
12:04During the best of the best event
12:06So with Wagner at the line
12:08Figured we'd show you this
12:09The Magic lead the league
12:10In free throws attempted
12:12And made
12:13And the Celtics
12:14Last in both categories
12:16Also been fouling a lot
12:18Sees have the worst free throw differential in the NBA
12:20By a pretty significant margin
12:22So that's something to watch today
12:24Yeah those aren't
12:25Those aren't good numbers
12:26They're way worse than you think
12:28Brown trying to get the whistle
12:32Almost put it in over the backboard
12:33Burst
12:34Now Walsh throws it
12:36To the fans court side
12:38They'll be asking for a foul
12:40Very interesting you know with Jalen Brown calling out the team a little bit in the postgame presser
12:54Oh they're gonna call that?
12:56He's got two hands on them on the other side
12:58They're gonna call that?
13:00But the team has to respond
13:02They have to play a lot harder today
13:04And JV said
13:06They went through the motions
13:08Friday and the loss to Brooklyn
13:09Where Joe Pizzoula's team
13:10Was favored by 14 and a half points
13:12And lost
13:14Trailed by 15 entering the fourth quarter
13:16Made a bit of a comeback in the fourth
13:17But too much Michael Porter Jr.
13:19At 16 in the fourth
13:20Orlando Robinson for three
13:22Showing off his skill set
13:24He's getting his opportunities
13:26Orlando Robinson for three
13:28Here's Brown
13:30Wagner behind him
13:32Sidestep Kata
13:33That's awesome
13:34That's awesome
13:35This is something I haven't seen Jalen Brown do a lot
13:38We gotta feature that
13:40Like he's just keeping Wagner on his hip
13:42Which puts a ton of pressure
13:44On Orlando Robinson
13:46Good start for Kata
13:48Game high six
13:52Bain
13:53Trying to get it back
13:54Again
13:55Walsh challenging him
13:57Forced him to go inside
13:58And scores
13:59Bain is so hard to stop
14:00Because
14:01He can pass it
14:02Get it back
14:03Move
14:04Relocate
14:05Those teams are that hard to guard
14:06Tyrese Maxey style
14:08Yeah
14:09Ground again
14:10Operating
14:11Kata
14:12Sprays it out
14:13Walsh
14:14Left alone
14:15Gives it back
14:16Mimi finds the open man
14:17D. White just six points on Friday
14:22Black
14:23Woo
14:24Woo
14:25Foul
14:26And
14:27Kata
14:28Hobbling a little bit
14:30As we go to our first media timeout
14:32We'll check in on Mimi
14:33When we come back
14:34Six game and bring the hometown energy to TD Garden
14:40Visit Celtics dot com slash ticks to find tickets
14:44So concern for Namesh Kata
14:46Watch the replay here
14:47Yeah left ankle right there
14:49Right before he elevates
14:51Yeah he landed odd
14:54On the left knee
14:55But it looks like it was just the ankle
14:57If you could see it
14:58His left ankle twisted right there
15:00As he went up
15:04But he's
15:05Out of the game
15:06Yeah he does have two fouls
15:07So he probably would have left anyway
15:09But he goes to the locker room here
15:10And limping a lot
15:11Yeah
15:12Surrounded by Australians
15:13He's got Phil and Steve with him
15:15They're gonna go take a look
15:17At Kata's ankle
15:18We will keep you posted
15:19What a season
15:20Kata's putting together
15:21We figured he'd be in the starting lineup
15:24And man he's improved so much
15:26So they go to Chris Boucher
15:28Been a while since we've seen him
15:31And it'll be a small five for the C's
15:35Yeah
15:36Freddie Simons also in there
15:38So things change a lot
15:41Boucher pops
15:42And so does Garza
15:43So there should be a ton of space
15:46Because Celtics just gotta make sure
15:48They are as you would say puncturing the paint
15:51Yeah
15:52When you don't have guys diving to the paint
15:55You gotta have guys driving to the paint
15:57Those two points for Anthony Black tonight
16:10Sam Hauser
16:11Also in there off the bench
16:12Is Pritchard and Brown
16:14The starters who stay on the floor
16:22Da Silva defends Simons
16:23Who went radioactive
16:25Against Orlando
16:26In his hometown
16:29Brown off the heel
16:30Pritchard
16:31The offensive rebound
16:32Out to Hauser
16:33Creates some space
16:34Cashes out
16:35Great sign
16:36For Sam Hauser
16:41I think the next one is the most important
16:42You get that first one fine
16:44But two could turn to five
16:46But for Sam
16:47He's gotta go
16:48Bad pass by Jonathan Isaac
16:49Pritchard the steal
16:50Going all the way
16:51Isaac
16:52The block
16:53No travel
16:54Hauser again
16:55Oh yeah
16:56He might be back
16:57He's heating up
16:59It's like a picture with a no-hitter
17:01I'm not saying anything
17:02The Sam's Packers beat the Vikings today
17:10Oh so he's pumped up
17:11Got a close game
17:12But yeah he's feeling good
17:15Shot clock into single digits
17:16Wagner tried to force it up there
17:18Boucher the rebound
17:19Gotta find 30 right
17:20Brown on the drive
17:21Instead it goes to Simons
17:22Who's open
17:23That's good
17:24Jamal Mosley needs a timeout
17:27Sunday evening
17:28Threes are falling
17:31Mr. Scalzi's gonna like that
17:34Good job Drew
17:37Welcome back inside TD Garden
17:39Celtics up 7
17:40Here's to the doers
17:41Presented by Honeydew
17:42Where the coffee
17:43Is the ultimate game changer
17:45The ultimate doer
17:46For this Celtics team this season
17:48Jalen Brown
17:49Of course
17:50Over the last couple games
17:51Boston nearly 28 points better
17:53When he's on the court
17:54His usage rate
17:55I mean as you'd expect
17:56A career high
17:57Second only to Giannis
17:58Anacumbo
17:59In the NBA
18:00And oh by the way
18:01He has not missed a game
18:03Those numbers are big
18:04But they don't even begin to describe
18:06What Jalen does for this team
18:08Off the floor as well
18:09And his leadership
18:10The guys talked about
18:11His post game comments
18:12The other night
18:13Holding his teammates accountable
18:15But to me
18:16What stands out
18:17Is just the standard
18:18That Jalen is holding himself to
18:20And as Joe Missoula
18:21Told me pregame tonight
18:22Jalen is giving us
18:23Everything we need
18:25No doubt about it
18:26I mean he's there
18:27He brings it every day
18:28He has to guard
18:29He does it
18:30He has to carry the team
18:32And I feel like today
18:35He's making people
18:36Around him better
18:37Picking up Franz Wagner here
18:38Hauser with a double
18:39Out of bounds
18:40Stace here
18:41With 6 to shoot
18:42And you mentioned
18:43Abby Jalen Brown
18:44Playing every game
18:45Gives some love to
18:46Drew Moore
18:48Celtics head athletic trainer
18:49Who made his return
18:50On Friday
18:51He had a knee injury
18:52He suffered playing
18:53Pick up hoops
18:54In the off season
18:55Wait he's back?
18:56He's been around the team
18:57But has been on the bench
18:58Until Friday
18:59He works closely with JB
19:00Keeping him healthy
19:01So shout out to Drew
19:02And the entire Celtics
19:03Sports Science staff
19:05As Tyus Jones
19:06But when you say
19:07He made his return
19:08He ain't playing pick up yet
19:09He's not playing pick up yet
19:10No he's not playing pick up
19:11But he's back on the bench
19:12Alright
19:14And you know the Celtics
19:17We talk about the Australians
19:18All the time
19:19It's not just them of course
19:20It's a whole team effort
19:21To keep guys fresh
19:22And ready to go
19:23Here is Jalen Brown
19:25Now defended by Wagner
19:27Two more for JB
19:28On that scissor kick jumper
19:30Whoa
19:31Getting work in that mini
19:32Tyus Jones will try it again
19:36Not having a good year shooting
19:38The three ball
19:39For the Minnesota native
19:41Tyus Jones
19:42Always among the league
19:43League leaders
19:44In assisted turnover
19:45Jalen that was a long one
19:47I don't know
19:48Scoring the ball
19:53A bright smile from
19:54Joe Missoula
19:55I mean Jalen Brown
19:57Can't get any shot
19:58He wants
19:59Any time he wants
20:00I mean that's low clock
20:02Or you're playing two for one
20:03Or whatever
20:04But at this point
20:05That's not a good load
20:11Howser trying to chase Black around
20:13Contested the shot
20:15Forced the miss
20:16Stays out of the basket
20:17And Jalen with the rebound
20:19Brown pushing tempo
20:21They've got numbers
20:22JB takes that himself
20:23It's gotta be a foul
20:24Basket doesn't count by Boucher
20:26As Brown was fouled
20:28He'll shoot free throws
20:29Man I didn't think they
20:30I thought they weren't gonna call this
20:32Watch Jalen Brown just go right through the space
20:34Right through the space of Franz Wagner
20:36Making his own lane to the basket
20:40Good job by Boucher being right there
20:42That's a different dynamic with Boucher versus
20:44Akeda
20:46He can run the floor
20:47He can put pressure on the rim
20:52To the numbers for JB
20:54Who was in foul trouble Friday against the Nets
20:56And still put up big numbers
20:58Yet again
20:59Yeah he got a bad whistle
21:01I'm usually not like that
21:02He got a bad whistle
21:03He got a bad whistle
21:04Here's a message from FanDuel
21:06I got some ideas
21:07Okay
21:08Time out?
21:09No, no, no, no, no
21:10Time in
21:11I feel like mascots should affect the over-under
21:12Ooh, ooh
21:13Betting in space?
21:16New customers bet $5 and get $1.50 in bonus bets if you win
21:24JB picked up his fifth foul mid-third quarter
21:27Friday against the Nets
21:28Only played fewer than 13 minutes in the second half
21:33And there was some frustration
21:34Yeah, that fifth foul was not a good call
21:38But if we challenged the play and we lost the challenge
21:41I just didn't agree with it
21:43Wagner picked up the dribble
21:44Isaac tried to get it back to him
21:45Stolen by Boucher
21:48Chris Boucher playing some big minutes here on the first
21:50Just after a dictated injury
21:52JB again to the basket
21:54If you look at what Orlando is doing
21:56They're holding out on the shooter
21:57So there's opportunities to go to the rim
22:01Jones hit one from that spot earlier
22:04Wagner grabs it and scores it
22:07Got to secure that board
22:09Wow, this is Wagner
22:13Yeah, Cata's out of the game
22:14That's going to be a big factor
22:15To the Celtics' defensive rebound
22:17Richard again flying top of the key
22:20Tough shot
22:21Jalen the offensive rebound
22:23Remember, Orlando's taking away the three
22:25So look at the paint right now
22:26It's so wide open
22:31Brown off the mark
22:34Magic have Anthony Black and Tyce Jones out there
22:37Two point guard
22:39And Jalen Brown just fouled Franz Wagner
22:42That'll be two on Brown
22:43That's his second team limit
22:49Let's take a look
22:50Wagner running the floor
22:51Getting the early seal
22:52Brown using that off arm
22:54John Wagner at the line
22:56Physical but unfortunate
23:06Celtics need to have
23:08Guys on the
23:10On the key before the free throw
23:11And a technical foul
23:13Has been assessed to Jalen Brown
23:18Joe Missoula is going to call timeout
23:19And challenge
23:21The personal foul call
23:25I don't know if you can
23:27Didn't he shoot the free throw already?
23:30I don't think this could be a green light special
23:33Let's see
23:39Boston will be challenging this foul call on Brown
23:44Celtics have called timeout for a coaches challenge on the last call on the court
23:49The last call on the court
24:19The coaches challenge is presented by Sprite the fouls on Brown as he tussles with Wagner here
24:22I don't think they're going to win that one
24:23I don't think they're going to win that one
24:24Unless it's uncatchable
24:26I mean they're looking at it
24:28I mean they're looking at it for a long time
24:30I thought right away it was a foul
24:31Well Jalen saying he grabbed me
24:32Never gonna make you cry, never gonna say goodbye, never gonna tell the lie.
24:42The coach's challenge is presented by Sprite.
24:44The foul's on Brown as he tussles with Wagner here.
24:48I don't think they're gonna win that one.
24:50Unless it's uncatchable.
24:52I mean, they're looking at it for a long time.
24:54I thought right away it was a foul.
24:55Well, Jalen's saying he grabbed me.
24:57So maybe if they see that first from a different angle.
24:59All right, let's look from a different angle.
25:00Because that, from that angle, it did not look good.
25:06And Joe's usually pretty good about that.
25:09This is really early.
25:11It was their timeout anyways.
25:16No, no, that's a real timeout.
25:20Well, you just don't want that guy to get in foul trouble again.
25:25Dealt with it last time out, Friday against Brooklyn.
25:28And it was his second foul.
25:31Jalen also got hit with a technical foul, his third of the season, arguing the call.
25:40All right, let's see if there's...
25:42Oh, here we go.
25:43So watch Wagner.
25:44Does he grab Jalen Brown?
25:48Ooh, he does have a fistful of jersey there.
25:51His left hand.
25:52That's not a lot, though.
25:53But they're looking at it for a long time.
25:59And I don't know if...
26:01I thought he got a bad whistle on that fifth foul in the Nets game.
26:06So I don't know if they know that.
26:08Is there going to be a make-up call two days later?
26:12I don't know.
26:13I'm just throwing stuff out there.
26:16It was a bad call.
26:17I don't usually go down that road, but it was a bad call.
26:20No, you don't.
26:21You're usually pretty fair with the officiating.
26:24Watch.
26:24See if Wagner grabbed Brown first.
26:28Can't really see it from there.
26:29But his left hand, he was grabbing Brown's jersey.
26:32So it has to be enough to overturn it.
26:44It can't just be, oh, yeah, he did that.
26:48It has to be, you know, who was guarding him?
26:51Was it Drake Powell?
26:53Who was guarding him?
26:54On the fifth foul Friday?
26:55I think it was Drake Powell.
26:57To me, it ain't like he tackled him.
26:58And it was like, nah, that's marginal.
27:01Right.
27:01Good call.
27:02Because that was the first contact.
27:04And then Brown got hit with the offensive foul.
27:07Now, while they're looking at this, let me just get on my soapbox here.
27:10If they overturned this call, they better rescind that tack.
27:15I don't know.
27:15After the game.
27:16Yeah, I don't know how that works.
27:17Because he's arguing a call that would be wrong.
27:20I don't think it works like that.
27:20I don't think it works like that.
27:22You think James Jones is in his office listening, saying, that's not right, Drew.
27:26No, that isn't the right logic.
27:27No, no, no, no.
27:29All right, here's the call from Curtis Blair.
27:30Come on, this is a big call.
27:35This is a big call.
27:42After the video review, it is an unsuccessful challenge.
27:45After the review, Brown makes contact on a hook for Wagner.
27:58Therefore, it will be an unsuccessful challenge.
28:01We also have a technical foul on Brown.
28:02We'll be shooting one, then two shots for the penalty.
28:04So two fouls on J.B.
28:11And the technical free throw will be shot by Wagner.
28:16A technical foul is also called on the Celtics.
28:19Yeah, I think Wagner will shoot two because we're in the penalty.
28:22Not only did this whole sequence bring this game to a grinding halt,
28:28but could flip the momentum as well.
28:31Here's Jalen Brown arguing with Curtis Blair.
28:34And boom, there's a technical foul.
28:35It's third of the year.
28:36John Wagner on the line with two shots.
28:47Wagner on the season, 84%.
28:49Let's check in with Abby for an update on Namesh Kaden.
28:56Guys, you were right in what we saw in the film.
28:59The team says it is a left ankle sprain.
29:01He is questionable to return.
29:03However, he's not yet back out here on the bench.
29:07All right.
29:08Thanks, Abby.
29:08We'll keep our eyes peeled for pick number 88.
29:13Minot's in the game.
29:15You see Xavier Tillman over there.
29:16Haven't seen Luka Garza yet.
29:21Minot Boucher in the front court with Hauser.
29:23And Simons and White in the backcourt.
29:28Two minutes left in the first.
29:33Got to go.
29:34You haven't even gotten inside the three-point line yet.
29:36Simons in the mix over Wagner.
29:39Oh, that's tough.
29:41Cook it.
29:45Sizzling.
29:48That's what Anfrey Simons can do for you.
29:50Break glass in case of emergency.
29:52Here's Isaac.
29:53Missed a three.
29:54White the rebound.
29:58Simon's a streaky shooter as well.
30:00So you can get it back to him.
30:02How about White instead?
30:03Missed the shot.
30:04Isaac the rebound.
30:07Uh-oh.
30:08It's Wagner on the attack.
30:10He just...
30:10You got to treat him like LeBron James.
30:12He goes where he wants.
30:13Hey, you got to go over.
30:15But first, let's see.
30:16Simon's cooking.
30:18I mean, what do you want to call that?
30:20Between cross, step back, snap.
30:22What you call it is a...
30:24He likes playing Orlando.
30:31Yes.
30:31But, you know, you won't hear...
30:33Let's see how long it takes the national media to pick up.
30:36When Wagner has the ball, you better build a wall.
30:39You better build a wall.
30:40Not shooting it well from the line, though, today.
30:42Hey, Monday at 6.
30:42Let's catch another edition of The Breakdown.
30:45Phil Perry and Ted Johnson talk about the key plays from the Patriots-Bangles game.
30:49The Breakdown is presented by John Sewer and Drain Cleaning.
30:51The name to know when drains don't flow.
30:54Another win today for the Pats.
30:56Nine straight.
30:57But, some injury concerns, and they'll have you updated there, Phil and Ted, on the Breakdown.
31:05Wagner is 4 for 7 from the line in the first quarter.
31:09And you see the free throw numbers for the teams.
31:12It's kind of what we laid out earlier.
31:13Magic get there a lot.
31:14Celtics don't do a good job of preventing free throws.
31:18Not this year, at least.
31:19They've been a lead at it the last two.
31:20A little clock malfunction, but Simons right now, this is what the Celtics need.
31:35They need sparks.
31:37And Simons, like, the one guy that can get downhill off the bench and create a shot.
31:44Imagine he likes playing against the Magic.
31:46He's an Orlando native.
31:47I'm with you, 25 points in the first half against the Magic a couple weekends ago.
31:52It was like in 13 minutes.
31:53It was unreal.
31:5414 minutes, but the points all came in like, felt like an 8-minute spin.
31:57Oh, it was unreal.
31:59Celtics record for points off the bench in the first half.
32:0125 from Simons.
32:03Bench tonight, 5 for 5 from the floor.
32:06This is Jamal Kane.
32:07Gets two on the baseline.
32:10Another clock issue, yeah.
32:13Not stopping when it goes through.
32:17Magic will try to prevent the Celtics from a two-for-one here.
32:30Simon sees the clocks.
32:34There's a thing college teams are doing called the two-for-one kill.
32:38Have you seen this?
32:39No.
32:39Where the clock keeps running on a made basket, so they don't inbound the ball until the game clock goes under 30 seconds.
32:47It's a 30-second shot clock in NCAA.
32:50So Alabama, coached by my guy Nate Oates, my favorite college basketball coach, decided to start using timeouts to prevent teams from letting the clock wind.
32:59Hmm.
33:00To save the possession.
33:01Yeah.
33:02That's worth a timeout.
33:03It was like a thousand timeouts in college.
33:04Yeah.
33:06Too many.
33:13Walsh back in there, replacing Boucher.
33:15Magic took Franz Wagner out.
33:17Jace Richardson, the rookie, is in the game.
33:20Here's Bain.
33:22Can't roll it in, but caught the whistle.
33:24And more free throws coming for Orlando.
33:27Man, this is one of those games we've got to stop fouling.
33:31Tickets downhill, you go up.
33:33Ooh, that was close.
33:36Maybe I spoke too soon on that one.
33:40Yeah, seven fouls against the Celtics, just two on the Magic in the first quarter.
33:45Desmond Bain has started to settle in with Orlando.
33:51Remember, when we went there two weeks ago, he was still struggling.
33:54Sort of broke out in those two games against the Celtics.
33:58But the very next game, he hit a game winner.
34:00Yeah.
34:00And it's been all good since.
34:03Beat the Trailblazers at the last second with an off-balance three.
34:07Five seconds left in the quarter.
34:16Foul to give for the Magic.
34:19Four and a half seconds left.
34:27Hauser and Simons have both hit a couple of threes off the bench.
34:32Both out there now as Black returns.
34:34Orlando number zero, he can be locked back into the lineup.
34:39Longer number, grown for Jonathan Isaac.
34:42As does Isaac.
34:44So, getting some length back out there.
34:54Bain defends the inbound.
34:58White looking for Simons.
35:01Got it.
35:01Defended by Jen Howard.
35:03And Ferdinand Simons in the paint puts it up.
35:07Not sure if he got it away anyway, but it doesn't fall.
35:10And the Celtics will take a five-point lead to the second quarter.
35:13Shooting 50% on the nose.
35:17All the three-pointers from the bench.
35:19Simons and Hauser.
35:22Celtics against a shorthanded Magic squad.
35:24Trying to bounce back from Friday.
35:26Off to a good start.
35:27High five as we start the second quarter.
35:29Looking at the scoreboard brought to you by Toyota's official website for deals.
35:33Buyatoyota.com.
35:35Back here inside TD Garden.
35:37Let's look at the stats by Jason Stone Injury Lawyers.
35:39Official injury law firm of the Boston Celtics.
35:41Injured?
35:42Better phone stone.
35:43Off the bench.
35:43You had Hauser and Simons.
35:45Knocked down a few shots.
35:47No Garza so far, by the way.
35:49And we've got to stop fouling with Orlando already taking 13 free throws.
35:56Yeah.
35:57Is there something I don't know?
35:58Interesting note, Scout, because Garza didn't play in the first quarter, and I don't see him on the bench.
36:04Kata has already left with an ankle injury.
36:06He does have two fouls, so he might have left the game anyway.
36:10Something to monitor.
36:11White the decel.
36:12And one.
36:12And one.
36:13Love the decel step from Derrick White.
36:19We saw a lot of this in years past.
36:22Derrick White getting that dribble handoff going to the right.
36:25See him put the brakes on.
36:27Maybe that can get Derrick White going.
36:29I love that action.
36:30We run it.
36:31It feels like we get a lot of success from it, but we don't run it that often.
36:37You're just talking about Derrick White going to his right hand?
36:40Like off of him starting in the corner.
36:42Getting a screen, it's zoom action, you know, like a screen to a dribble handoff.
36:47Or it could be a dribble handoff to a screen.
36:50But now you have Derrick White turning the corner in his right hand.
36:52Should be a lot of space for him to work.
36:58D. White.
36:59His first three points.
37:00Desmond Bain has three on this side.
37:02Desmond Bain.
37:03He's tough.
37:05He's a good player.
37:06Technically drafted by the Celtics' 30th overall in 2020.
37:10And they made that pick for Memphis.
37:13Received a couple of second-rounders.
37:15Same draft as Peyton Pritchard and Aaron Neesmith.
37:20White working out the rookie.
37:21Nice move.
37:22See, when Derrick White went to the rim, everyone was just standing out.
37:30You've got to get something going.
37:32Is that guy cutting or something?
37:34You can't just be standing five out.
37:38Missed the second chance opportunity.
37:40Simons yanks down the rebound.
37:41Oh, nice Euro.
37:47And Freddie Simons for two.
37:51But he is just a gifted scorer.
37:54First player in double figures today.
38:03Paine finds Kane.
38:04Paine pushed Chris Boucher.
38:10Leads to an offensive rebound and a foul on White.
38:13No shot.
38:15All right, go back.
38:16Simons in transition.
38:18Watch Boucher right there in the middle of your screen.
38:20He dives.
38:21So it almost turns into a two-on-one.
38:25Movement to the basket.
38:27And then you have gifted offensive players that can make good decisions.
38:30You just don't want to be standing five out.
38:32You want to have something going to the rim when a guy's driving.
38:39Richardson, the drive.
38:42Kane missed the three.
38:43White the rebound.
38:45Three boards for Derrick White.
38:47The only starter on the floor right now.
38:50By the way, look at Garza's return to the Celtics bench.
38:53Yet to play in the game, though.
38:56Off of Hauser's first miss.
38:58Made his first two.
39:00And Roman Dahl is going to bring you a check-in.
39:02And Jed Howard gets the layoff.
39:04Yeah, can't have that.
39:05Just got top of the key.
39:06There's no help defense in the NBA when you get busted off the dribble from the top of the key.
39:18White carrying a lot of offensive load right now.
39:22Simons helping him out.
39:23Four on the 24.
39:24Five-point lead for the Celtics.
39:34And Jones.
39:35One more for Howard.
39:37His three balls off the mark.
39:38White almost batted it into his own basket.
39:41Simons hits it ahead.
39:42Shireman.
39:43A chance on the run.
39:44Boucher missed it.
39:46He was fouled.
39:47Yep.
39:48Hit on the arm.
39:52That was a late whistle.
39:54That was a late, late, late whistle.
39:57Think about this.
39:58He was fouled right there.
40:00And they didn't blow the whistle until now.
40:03Yeah.
40:04Oh, man.
40:09Think about where the foul was and where I was at.
40:12Think about where the foul was and where I was at.
40:14So, Boucher was a DNP in seven of the Celtics' last eight games.
40:20Yeah.
40:21And then today, with the K-2 foul trouble slash injury, played in the first quarter and been playing small ball five for a lot of his first half.
40:28I think this happened.
40:31You know, when you get older, you embellish.
40:33I think Kenyon Martin jumped ball and sprained his ankle.
40:38I think that night I played, like, 46 minutes.
40:41And I think I was a DNP the day before.
40:44The problem is the NBA.
40:46You never know, man.
40:47You just never know.
40:49Dick Leif is going to pull up your career game logs right now.
40:52Find out the game I played the most in.
40:54And I think I came off the bench.
40:56And I think Kenyon Martin got hurt that game.
40:59Did you buy Kenyon Martin dinner as a thank you athlete?
41:02I mean, it's like, you know, unspoken rule when a guy gets hurt, I'm not going to think, hey, man, appreciate you getting hurt.
41:08Kenyon Martin, you're going at your boy Draymond.
41:10Oh, my God.
41:11Oh, yeah.
41:12That counts.
41:14On and one for Anfernee Simons.
41:16Celtics need a spark.
41:17Anfernee Simons is delivering.
41:21This is the SGA sort of rule.
41:23Feel the contact.
41:24Lead with that ball.
41:25Get it up.
41:27That three-point play opportunity.
41:30Yeah, man.
41:30You see some of the power forwards he made on that list.
41:35That was diabolical.
41:36Man.
41:37Draymond has a podcast, so I'm sure he's going to respond.
41:40We're going to be all over this on our show tomorrow.
41:42Yeah.
41:42If you missed it, Kenyon Martin said there are like 200 power forwards.
41:48No, I think he's had 50.
41:49And he named 50.
41:51He was on that list.
41:53He did just say he just named 50 guys.
41:55I was like, oh, man, that's rough.
41:57Bain on the backdoor cuts.
42:04Nice.
42:05And Bain.
42:08You know what?
42:09I get it, man.
42:09They gave up four first routers, a right to swap.
42:12Bain plays all the time.
42:16And that's so important on a night like this for Orlando.
42:19Playing on the second night of a back-to-back.
42:21No Bain-Caro sucks.
42:22Or Carter got the foul on Shireman.
42:25Man, not a goaltend, though.
42:27Not a goaltend.
42:29A good block by Ugo.
42:31Fouls on Baylor Shireman.
42:34Yeah.
42:34You see the trip.
42:36So they're going to call that automatically.
42:38That's a good block.
42:44See, I think that the refs favor the aggressive player.
42:48And, you know, the Celtics want to play the same game.
42:52Well, yeah, fine.
42:53They're pushing the ball when it's nothing there.
42:56And it's the reason why they're living at the free throw line.
42:59Here's a message from Zenny.
43:01Basketball is all about vision.
43:05Seeing things on the court and setting your sights on something bigger.
43:12Clear vision is everything.
43:14Desmond Payne, first Magic player in double figures.
43:21He's got 11.
43:22Jalen Brown back in there for the Celtics.
43:28It's White, Simons, Brown, Gonzalez, and Minot.
43:32Brown, right into the chest, trying to get the whistle.
43:42I can't believe it.
43:43Minot soars in.
43:46Tough, tough, tough drive and finish.
43:50He hung in the air for a while.
43:51He did with a double pump.
43:52Gonzalez, navigating, defending Chase Richardson.
44:01Rebound down to Minot.
44:03Good contest.
44:10Hugo.
44:11In the lane.
44:12Foul.
44:13Free throws coming for the 19-year-old.
44:15Tell you, a lot of success going to the rim.
44:18They don't have their normal shot blockers in there.
44:21Orlando takes away the three-point line.
44:23Look at the rim.
44:24Look at the paint.
44:25It's wide open.
44:30Celtics as a team are 28th in paint points this season, averaging about 42 per game.
44:37And they've got 20 already.
44:39You know, I have a good friend who just visited Davidson, the college.
44:45And the coach was like this, like on a drive.
44:49One-on-one, get it done.
44:51Got one guy on you, one-on-one, get it done.
44:54One-on-two, not for you.
44:56One-on-three, come sit next to me.
45:00I thought that was great.
45:01I'm going to be all over that.
45:04One-on-one, get it done.
45:05Though, when we're driving, the point of my bringing that up is, when we're driving, oh, that's a foul.
45:10And you get one player on you, you've got to finish that.
45:15Rebound Simons.
45:16We've got to have Ronaman, your boy, put that to a beat.
45:18Oh, that's pretty good.
45:19There's Simons.
45:22It's Steph Curry, the Davidson GM.
45:24Co-sign that.
45:26There's Pritchard.
45:27That's his time.
45:29One-on-one, get it done.
45:32Especially when you're Peyton Pritchard.
45:33Yeah, no doubt.
45:34Been one of the best drivers of the basketball in the NBA all season.
45:42Minot moving his feet on Joe.
45:43Oh, yeah.
45:44Thanks for Minot.
45:47Simons has Gonzalez running shotgun.
45:50He'll take it himself.
45:51That's nasty.
45:53He is a flat-out scoring machine.
45:59All right, Peyton Pritchard.
46:00We need him to get going.
46:01Like I said, Drew, one-on-one, go get it done.
46:05Peyton Pritchard getting it done.
46:08Member of the Celtics family.
46:10I'm joined by her family.
46:12This is her husband, Stephen Walker.
46:14Stephen, Heather battled brain cancer with a ferocious fight.
46:19Now she is being honored annually.
46:21What does that mean for you and your family?
46:22It's just a reminder how special she was.
46:25Not just to me, but to you, everybody, all her Celtics family.
46:29It's an emotional night for sure, but seeing you guys here and just the support that we get from you is just incredible.
46:35It really is.
46:36And it's a great reminder for the girls that what Heather started in the fight, that I'm continuing with the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation.
46:44And it's just super important to them.
46:47And I'm really proud of everything that you guys do.
46:49And it means a lot.
46:51So many beautiful tributes tonight.
46:52But you mentioned your work that you were carrying on.
46:54Heather spent her last days fighting for a cure and fighting for others.
46:59To date, she's raised over $800,000.
47:01Now you're carrying that work on.
47:02Tell me about the foundation.
47:03We support families and kids who are going through this.
47:07And you know how much cancer takes, right?
47:09So if I can help these kids and families in any way with what Heather started, I'll do it.
47:16That's it, really.
47:17How can Celtics Nation help?
47:19Just get involved.
47:20Do things.
47:21Get involved.
47:21I mean, the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation is just one.
47:24Move for Heather is just one.
47:25There's so many that you can get out there and you can really help.
47:28I mean, these kids, this is so underfunded.
47:30This disease in children and adults, really, that anything that people do, it makes a difference.
47:37Steven, thank you for all your work, Sam and Taylor.
47:40So nice to see you guys here.
47:42And, yes, you can find out more information on Celtics.com slash move for Heather.
47:47Guys.
47:48All right, Abby.
47:48Great work.
47:49And thanks to the entire Walker family for giving us some time tonight.
47:54And I remember, Scal, when we were doing the audition together a couple years ago.
47:59It was against Philly.
48:00Doc Rivers, in his press conference, got emotional talking about Heather.
48:05That's right.
48:05That was right after she passed away.
48:06There's Minot for three.
48:09But a really important initiative for the series.
48:11My last interaction with her, we were doing something at West 10 Johnny's.
48:16And even now, she was talking about solving this for other people, not necessarily just for her.
48:23That's just how she was.
48:26Here's Minot.
48:27He's heating up.
48:29The Celtics have their largest lead at 12.
48:31And we're playing a little quicker, right?
48:34Getting up and down the floor a little bit faster.
48:36We just got to do a better job of defending the paint.
48:38Payton Pritchard's got seven assists.
48:42Black draws the foul.
48:44Basket counts.
48:45And we have no shot blocking in there.
48:47So right now, everyone's just flying up the floor and scoring at the rim on us.
48:52But look at Payton Pritchard.
48:54Moving defenses.
48:56Minot with the ferocious dunk.
48:58Had the three earlier.
49:00The offense is rocking and rolling right now.
49:02But Orlando is getting to the paint at will.
49:05Ready for that.
49:06Anthony Black.
49:06You see the seven dives from Payton Pritchard.
49:10Another missed free throw, but an offensive rebound.
49:15Orlando Robinson shoveled it out to Franz Wagner.
49:19He missed the shot.
49:19Robinson just threw Jalen Brown to the ground.
49:25Minot feeling it.
49:26Oh, Josh Minot.
49:28Why not?
49:29I think he looked over at Joe Bozum.
49:31Yeah, why not put me in?
49:37Why not?
49:37Four for four from the floor.
49:39Two for two from downtown.
49:42Celtics bench is really bringing it.
49:44Remember, in that win in Orlando, they had 50 points off the bench as Black answers.
49:49Yeah, man, that was a big-time Luka Garza game.
49:52His energy was infectious in the fourth quarter.
49:56You see the bench points.
49:5734 already.
50:01Brown drops it off.
50:02Josh Minot is filling it up.
50:07Because we're not playing five out.
50:09When we drive, there's a guy there.
50:11There's a guy in the low dunker or there's a guy cutting.
50:13Can't be five out.
50:15Minot has figured that out.
50:16That's why he's playing so well.
50:19Touch foul on Simons.
50:22All right, so watch this.
50:23On this drive, look at this basing.
50:26Minot is low.
50:27He got a guy in the corner.
50:28Any time someone steps up to guard Jalen Brown, you're going to have a guy at the dunker.
50:34That's what made our offense unbeatable the year we won the championship.
50:38You get all kinds of good players playing that dunker spot.
50:41So when you drove, it was easy to kick out or dump off.
50:46Simons just picked up his third foul.
50:48He takes a seat.
50:48He's got a game-high 16 points.
50:50One, two, three, three, four.
50:53Here's Wagner trying to go at Gonzalez.
50:56He stripped him.
50:57Brown hits it ahead.
50:58Pritchard all the way.
51:01Pritchard did a good job using his body to shield off Anthony Black.
51:05And another steal.
51:08White got it this time.
51:09Gonzalez.
51:10Pritchard's open.
51:12Oh, yeah!
51:12I like this high-powered offense.
51:19And Ugo Gonzalez comes in the game, and the energy is 10x better than it was.
51:28The bench has been awesome.
51:37Black with the silencer.
51:39One, two, three.
51:40We're going to keep playing quick.
51:42Getting up the floor.
51:48That three by Pritchard, by the way, was the first one by a Celtics starter.
51:51All the other ones from the bench.
51:53And Gonzalez was playing that dunker.
51:54Brown takes it himself.
51:56And one.
51:59Yeah, I like what we're doing right now.
52:02Jalen Brown moved White to the corner.
52:05Ugo went down.
52:06We've got a guy rolling.
52:07The spacing is on point, and that's why our offense is exploding right now.
52:13Time on the floor.
52:14Brown's free throw next.

52:25Electric moment is presented by Audi.
52:27You've hit the New England Audi dealer today.
52:29There's two big-time plays.
52:30Ugo's involved in both of them.
52:32The defense on a really tough cover.
52:34Franz Wagner creates a turnover, and then Pritchard gets out.
52:37All right, I really want you guys to understand, like, this is not normal from a 19-year-old, this next play.
52:42All right, as we go, good job by Derek White getting the deflection.
52:47All right, so bear with me here.
52:48When Ugo gets the ball, pause it right there.
52:50Stop.
52:51Stop.
52:51Okay.
52:52He's taking the guy this way, so Pritchard has more space that way.
52:56This is not a normal.
52:57Go ahead and run it.
52:58Go ahead and run it.
52:59That is not normal.
53:01A normal guy would just, you know, a 19-year-old just give it up to the guy who's wide open.
53:05The fact that he cut that angle to go towards the middle of the floor, got the low-man defensive player to shift,
53:12Pritchard has that much more space.
53:15Not normal.
53:16Not normal.
53:17No S normal.
53:21No S no more.
53:22Say it again?
53:23No S normal.
53:25So you're talking about just one extra dribble, right?
53:27It's all it takes?
53:28Yeah, it's like there's little things that people do that are winning basketball plays, and that is one of them.
53:34Just your angle where you're going.
53:35He was always going to pass that ball to Peyton Pritchard, but he had to make a better passing angle and give Pritchard a little bit more space.
53:42Now there's a foul in the basket by Wagner.
53:45And just as I gas him up, he gets cooked.
53:46All right, now he's back to normal.
53:52He's going out of the game.
53:55Well, Hugo, in his six and a half minutes, was a plus ten until that basket.
54:02You know what, man?
54:04There you go.
54:05I'm giving him a round of applause.
54:06I don't care.
54:07The energy went.
54:08It skyrocketed when he was in the game.
54:11But then he got scored.
54:12Looking at the game leaders brought to you by Arbella Insurance.
54:15Arbella here for New England, here for good.
54:17It's a small lineup for Jamal Mosley.
54:33Walsh on the roll.
54:34The foul is on the floor.
54:36Basket doesn't count.
54:38Third foul on Jett Howard.
54:42Again, no Wendell Carter, their starting center.
54:44No Goga Batase, their backup center.
54:46They started Orlando Robinson, who had played two minutes all year coming into this game.
54:50So now they're going small.
54:51Yeah, I thought this would be a big Jonathan Isaac game.
54:53If I'm Jonathan Isaac, and I'm not playing in this game,
54:56then I've got to figure out what's going on with my time in Orlando.
55:02Isaac is a minus nine in five minutes.
55:06What was he, fourth pick, fifth pick?
55:10Where was he at?
55:10Early.
55:11I think he was the sixth pick.
55:12Sixth pick.
55:12Yes, he was.
55:132017.
55:15Yeah, and he got some injuries and stuff like that,
55:16but I was an Isaac fan.
55:19He guards.
55:19The idea of him is really good, no doubt.
55:22No doubt.
55:236'10", long.
55:25Defensive versatility.
55:26No doubt.
55:29Inside two minutes to play in the first half.
55:31Celtics lead it by 16.
55:33Wagner, the driving kick.
55:34Jamal Kane comes up short.
55:36Rebound, Minot.
55:37What a response from the Celtics after, you know,
55:40didn't look great to start the second quarter.
55:42Hey, it's a foul.
55:43Jalen can't buy a whistle today.
55:45What is going on?
55:46Two games in a row.
55:48Oh, I mean, maybe I missed that,
55:50but it was like he grabbed it right on the arm.
55:59Now Jalen with a nice move on Kane.
56:01Over to White.
56:03It's a three, and he checks his pocket.
56:06I haven't seen Jalen Brown do that play yet.
56:08Like, going to his iso,
56:10and then come over for a dribble handoff with a brush screen.
56:13That's six assists for Brown.
56:15Seven assists for Pritchard.
56:17Celtics as a team have 18 dives on 28-man shots.
56:20Pritchard, the takeaway.
56:22Kane chases.
56:23Payton puts it up and in.
56:24He's playing for Pritchard.
56:29A 21-point lead.
56:32I think you're going to call that?
56:33Yeah, foul.
56:33What am I missing here?
56:35All right, let's go back to Jalen Brown.
56:38I'm going to see what's going on.
56:40Here's Jalen Brown on the attack.
56:41Did I see it right?
56:43I didn't see it right.
56:44I'll take it back.
56:45I take it back.
56:46He got ball first.
56:48I take it back.
56:50If you get ball and you follow through and you get armed,
56:53that's a clean strip.
56:58See, Scal, that's nice.
57:00You admit when you were wrong.
57:01That's easy.
57:02I have no problem with that.
57:04Because it happens so often.
57:07I mean, yeah.
57:07I'm just messing with you.
57:11I thought it was a foul, too, in real time.
57:13Yeah, I mean, because you saw the arm at the end,
57:15but what we didn't see is when he first got ball.
57:17So, no, that's the right call.
57:20Celtics in the second quarter,
57:21shooting 16 for 20 overall.
57:2480%.
57:2576 points is a season high for the first half.
57:36Brown on the fadeaway.
57:37E. Wayne Brown.
57:41You got to love what we're doing offensively.
57:43A lot of dribbling here for Wagner.
57:58Bain got Minot to fly by.
58:00Missed the three.
58:03Minot the rebound.
58:04Final shot of the half.
58:05Celtics can hit 80.
58:08Pritchard got it to go.
58:1180 points in the first half for the Celtics.
58:20How's that for a bounce back?
58:22Yeah, it all started when they started driving the ball.
