00:34And welcome to TD Garden
00:36And welcome to the final weekend
00:37Of the regular season
00:39This is the penultimate game for the Celtics
00:41As they play the Magic on Sunday
00:42Up first the Pelicans on this Friday night
00:45Can't wait to watch it with you
00:46Alongside Brian Scalabrini and Abby Chin
00:48I'm Drew Carter and Scalvooch
00:50Ever since he came back from that injury
00:51He's looked more and more comfortable
00:53And we're going to need performances like this
00:56Throughout the playoff
00:57And I like what Joe did
00:58I felt like Vooch had it going
01:00He made winning plays two nights ago
01:02So against the Knicks
01:04Let's give him a chance
01:04He has to find his rhythm
01:06And he did
01:07Inside shots with the jump hook
01:09Outside shots with the three
01:11The Celtics are going to need that in the playoffs
01:12And I think they're leaned on Vooch
01:15During that Knick game
01:16And the other side
01:17Richard and Shireman
01:18This is an example of what you might see tonight
01:21Guys getting buckets
01:23And they shot the ball extremely well
01:25Nine three-pointers combined
01:27They had the inside, the outside
01:29And Baylor Shireman with this shot right here
01:31And he's like, Scal, put me on the video
01:33I said, thumbs up, I got you

02:37We ask you to please join us

02:52Congratulations
02:53Peyton

03:01The exclusive auto, home, and life insurance partner
03:04Of the Boston Celtics
03:06All right, Joe, you're back home
03:07For two more games in the regular season
03:09What do you want to see from these two
03:11That would be a success for you
03:12Aside from just winning, of course
03:14Yeah, I mean, just the process of getting better
03:16Take the possessions that we can get better at
03:18Last night and apply them to today
03:20Continue to execute
03:21Play with the level of toughness and execution
03:23That we've been playing with
03:24And continue to get better
03:25Nikola Vujovic came in the game
03:27With under two minutes left last night
03:29In New York
03:29You mentioned after the game
03:30That he's getting more comfortable
03:32Maybe since returning from injury
03:33What more do you want to see from him?
03:35More? No
03:35I just want to continue to get better
03:37Continue to be comfortable
03:38And you're starting to see flashes of that
03:40I think people underestimate the adjustment
03:42Of going one from a starting role
03:44To coming off to bench role
03:46And then bench role
03:47To getting hurt
03:47And then coming back to a bench role
03:49In the middle of a team
03:51Continue to go
03:51We underestimate that
03:52And I think Vujovic handled that really well
03:54Last time you played New Orleans
03:55It was the fourth game of the season
03:56They look a lot different
03:57Your team looks a lot different
03:59What's the scouting report on the Pelicans?
04:00What did they do well?
04:01Yeah, I mean
04:02Last time they played Utah
04:03They had 137 points
04:05A ton of them came on layups
04:06And in transition
04:06And so everything starts there
04:07Regardless of who you're playing against
04:09Those things that you can control
04:10Are the most important
04:10And they got guys that can get going at any time
04:13Obviously with Jordan Poole and Fears
04:15Jordan Hawkins off the bench
04:16And guys that can just make impactful plays
04:18So we got to be ready
04:18All right, good luck
04:19Thank you, Joe
04:19Thank you
04:20Well, Jordan Walsh
04:21One of those guys who's back in the rotation
04:23The last couple weeks
04:24Playing almost 20 minutes a game
04:25He and the Celtics take on the Pelicans
04:27Right after this
04:35There is Walsh with a steal on ball
04:37White to Brown
04:38Spins and scores
04:40We have more levels
04:42That we definitely can tap into
04:43You know, the teams that we played
04:44The last couple games
04:45Are fighting for seeding
04:47You know, teams are hungry
04:48They want to beat us
04:49But we've been able to match
04:51Their level of intensity
04:52And I think that's important for us
04:54Good ball movement
04:56Who's going to shoot it?
04:57Richard Will
04:59Bullseye
05:04Moments to go

06:38For the Celtics White-Brownhauser
06:40Walsh starts for the second night in a row
06:42Namesh Keita in the middle
06:43Key matchup presented by Subaru of New England
06:46Let love bloom in a brand new all-wheel drive Subaru
06:49Yeah, I got a big night for Jalen Brown
06:52I'm not sure he's gonna play on Sunday
06:54I don't know if he is or not
06:56But I got a 40-piece wing dinner
06:58And the pool party
07:00It likes to get busy down in New Orleans
07:03Got busy the other night against Utah
07:05They scored 156
07:07And a win over the Jazz
07:08Health report by South Coast Health
07:09Providing exceptional care
07:11From people who care as
07:13Kevon Looney controls the opening tip for the Pelicans
07:17We'll check that health report
07:18On the first whistle
07:20As Sean Wright is our crew chief
07:21Along with Dedrick Taylor
07:23Oh
07:23Then is he ransom
07:24Collision as Walsh and Poole got tangled up
07:26No whistle
07:27And now there is Celtics ball
07:28Man, he ran to his own guy
07:31All right, let's check that health report
07:32It is by South Coast Health
07:34Providing exceptional care from people who care
07:37Pelicans haven't played since Tuesday
07:39But they've got a couple of guys out too to rest
07:41Zion Williamson and Herb Jones
07:43And there's a laundry list of guys missing
07:45What they want to do is
07:46They want to play younger guys
07:47Give them a chance
07:48I wanted to see Zion
07:50But it is what it is
07:53Here is Walsh
07:54Tees up a triple
07:55It rattles out
07:56Oh yeah
07:57White out of nowhere for the offensive rebound
07:59Hauser inside Kato
08:01Beautiful ball movement
08:02White can't cash it in for three
08:04Ooh, I was thinking of all the sponsorships that could be right there
08:06Electric moment
08:08FW web assist
08:09Play worthy
08:10Oh yeah
08:11Checking all the boxes
08:12As Queen banks it in for the first two
08:14And Drew Carter will explain the whole
08:17Derrick Queen saga
08:18And the trade and the picks
08:20And this and that as we go
08:21But he's a good player
08:22And it was worth it
08:24He's going to be a good player
08:25You see the Pelicans
08:26Points in the paint
08:27Second in the NBA
08:28They had 90 points in the paint
08:31Tuesday against the Jazz
08:33White for Freddie right down the hatch
08:37Three
08:39Would that whole Jazz thing
08:40Never underestimate the power of tanking?
08:44That was all time
08:45It was
08:46I mean it's a joke
08:47Let's be honest
08:47Yeah, yeah
08:48At this point
08:48But good for New Orleans
08:50Doing their thing
08:51Watch this guy right here
08:52I'm looking for JB to have a big night
08:54Ooh
08:55Brown seemed it up for Hauser
08:57A perfect pass
08:58And it's a three
08:58Love the way
09:00That Sam Hauser is shooting that ball
09:02There's zero hesitation in his game
09:04And that was a bullet from Brown to Hauser on the pass
09:07As Poole gets two on this end
09:09Yeah, good strong cut by Jordan Poole
09:12White tries it again
09:15Foul against New Orleans
09:18It'll be on Poole
09:21Now a seventh year pro
09:23Won a championship with the Warriors in 2022
09:25Which Celtics fans knew all too much about
09:29Spent some time in Washington and now in New Orleans
09:37But that win over Utah Tuesday for New Orleans
09:39They scored 95 points in the second half
09:4350 in the third quarter
09:4445 in the fourth
09:46Pretty remarkable stuff from the Jazz
09:49Here is Brown
09:50Into the teeth of the defense
09:52Flings it up
09:53A jump ball is the call
09:54Jump ball
09:56They're over helping on Jalen Brown early on
10:00One punch beat on the show
10:01Comes off the first three
10:03He gets doubled
10:03Now on the dribble penetration
10:05Two guys go to him
10:09He might have to get other people going first
10:12Before he hits his cow prediction of 40
10:15You had 40p swing dinner
10:17You want to change it to 15 assists maybe
10:19You want to see if they're collapsing on
10:21Because once he starts moving it
10:23Oh
10:2920,000 people were silent when that ball was flying through the air
10:33And with the rejection
10:35And Hauser keeps it alive
10:37White just hit a logo ball
10:40Jeremiah Fears the rookie with a great play to save it
10:43And he's been playing good basketball as well
10:45There is Poole
10:46That's what he does
10:48You know an entire summer he worked out with Steph Curry
10:51So you get a little bit of that
10:54In Jordan Poole
10:57He's a highly skilled player
10:58Sometimes makes some questionable decisions
11:02Shot selection passing
11:04But he can fill it up when he gets hot
11:08White tries another
11:10Walsh overran the rebound
11:12There's Kevon Looney another former warrior
11:14To Peavy now Fears
11:15That's a goal 10 on Keita
11:18So Fears ties the game
11:21Alright up against it
11:22Low clock
11:23Derrick White
11:24Recognizes
11:25Loads and fires
11:29What do you got for a distance there Scout?
11:32Ooh
11:3440...
11:3544
11:35Ooh 44
11:37All right
11:37You love that number
11:40SPF 44
11:42That's what we're gonna get you
11:43For the summer
11:46Brown likes this matchup
11:48One on one Jordan Poole defending him
11:50But Brown too strong
11:51And here comes Queen
11:53Thirteenth pick in the draft
11:55Out of Maryland
11:56One and done with the Terps
11:58Good passer for his size
12:00Helekins gave up their pick in this upcoming draft
12:04To move up and get him
12:06Which was a widely criticized decision
12:11There is Brown
12:12Little block work
12:13Poole pulled the chair on him
12:14Brown might have gotten away with a walk
12:16But he lays it in
12:19I'm just cracking up at Jordan Poole's travel signal
12:25There you go
12:28Walsh
12:28Into the body of Poole
12:30Who drives
12:31Lost the handle
12:32Peavy picks it up
12:33Right back to Poole
12:34With five to shoot
12:41Celts need just one win or a Knicks loss
12:44To clinch the two seed in the Eastern Conference
12:47Walsh too strong
12:48Good position for Keita
12:50Up and in
12:51Good job wedging Caban Looney
12:54Underneath the basket
12:56Just love Mimi's improvement
12:58He might not win most improved
13:00Like the kill from last year to this year
13:02But I have never personally
13:04Seen a player start the season
13:07And improve as much as he did in the season
13:11He went from pretty much unknown
13:13To starting center on the second best team in the East
13:17He was deep in the rotation for the Celtics last year
13:22Brown got tripped
13:23No whistle
13:25Hauser launches
13:26And buries a three
13:28This kid Peavy is all into Jalen Brown's stuff
13:32Jalen Brown's gonna get mad
13:36Poole with the air ball
13:40He put his finger in the air maybe testing the win for the next shot
13:43All right J.B.'s gonna be aggressive
13:45Here he is on the post
13:47Jordan Poole trying to pull the chair
13:49But J.B. lays it up
13:51Look at Jordan Poole
13:52That's like a dance
13:56Dorchester
13:56Their Fieldhouse Plus project
13:59This project honoring the late
14:00Martin Richard
14:01Will bring new outdoor courts
14:03And an inclusive recreational space to the community
14:05And throughout tonight's game
14:07You can scan that QR code
14:09Or go to celtics.com slash drewrunsboston
14:11You can donate to our marathon campaign
14:14100% of your donation
14:16Will support this amazing effort
14:18And we're trying to raise a certain amount of money tonight
14:21So Brian Scalabrini has to dance on the post game show
14:24He will do the running man
14:26Because Eddie Howe says I look like the running man
14:29In that video
14:31So please scan that QR code
14:33And donate anything helps
14:36I heard it's
14:38It's likely
14:40I heard it's strong
14:42They're not there yet
14:43They're not there yet
14:44But it's
14:46Trending in that direction
14:47So you got that QR code for you guys
14:49On the injury report it would be probable
14:52And that's thanks to
14:53The generosity of our viewers
14:55So thanks so much for donating
14:57The Celtics community has been
14:59Such a special thing to be a part of
15:01The last three years
15:03And it's a great way to give back
15:04So please do
15:07Here is Derrick Queen
15:08The rookie into a crowd
15:10Picked up by Josh Oduro
15:12Former Providence Friar
15:14Now it's Fears on the step back
15:16A mid-ranger
15:17Left to choke but got the bounce
15:19He's living right
15:20He scored 40 Tuesday against Utah
15:25And they are loading up on Jalen Brown
15:29Houser
15:30Hits again
15:32It's a pure stroke
15:34Yeah it's the reason why the Celtics are 5 over 11 from 3
15:36Like Jalen Brown has seen
15:38Bodies
15:39Three guys when he tries to drive
15:42Seltzer
15:425 for 11 from deep
15:442 for 3
15:45Inside the arc
15:46Taking what the Pelicans are giving him
15:50Queen can't respond
15:51And Kata
15:52High points the rebound
15:53Way up there
15:55Odell Beckham style for Kata's fifth rebound
16:01Pritchard communicating with Kata
16:04Hooks it out
16:04Houser tries another
16:07Look at Neve
16:08An animal on the glass
16:10But Queen
16:11Emerges with it
16:12It's a nice pass to Fears
16:13Brown
16:14Great defense
16:20Walsh to a cutting Kata
16:22Who's running the floor like a gazelle
16:24And he got fouled
16:26New Orleans
16:27Yeah Jalen Brown hustling back
16:29Excellent pass
16:32By Queen
16:32I think he got a piece of that
16:34The way that
16:35The way Fears just missed that layup
16:37Did he score that as a block Dick Leip?
16:39Or no?
16:41Felt like he got a piece of that
16:43Well the Celtics under 55
16:44Bailey Shireman
16:46Number 28
16:46Ugo Gonzalez
16:48Dick Leip shakes his head in disgust
16:50Well he's looking up something
16:52Way more complicated than that
16:54I guarantee it
16:58Geez put a lot of pressure on the guy
17:01We'll get the answer in a second
17:02Celtics make a couple of changes
17:04Shireman, Vucevic
17:05Both played well
17:06Last night in New York
17:07And Ugo Gonzalez getting some run
17:10He has been
17:11In and out of the lineup
17:15Boots on the cleanup
17:19And once again
17:20Jalen Brown got the double team
17:21Makes a simple play
17:22And all those double teams lead to
17:24Good things for the Celtics
17:27Including that offensive rebound
17:28For Boots
17:30See how they guard him here
17:32Boots running to the rim
17:34Brown pulls it
17:34Hits it
17:35And a chance at 4
17:373
17:374
17:393
17:42Jalen Brown
17:43Been seeing a ton of bodies
17:44All eyes on him
17:45So he just rises up
17:46Pulls it
17:47And that's a foul
17:494 point play
17:51Time out
17:52New Orleans
17:54Time out Pelicans
17:56With 432 to play in the first
17:58As the Celtics start
17:59And I have got breaking news for you
18:00Baylor Shireman is a gamer
18:03The man
18:04Single handedly
18:05Bringing the mullet to
18:06Massachusetts
18:06Put on quite a show
18:08At Madison Square Garden
18:09Last night
18:10The Audi electric moment
18:12Is presented by Audi
18:13Visit your New England
18:14Audi dealer today
18:15A career high tying
18:1620 points
18:17Baylor was almost perfect
18:18From the floor
18:196 for 7 from 3
18:21Including a trio
18:22Of huge long balls
18:25In the fourth
18:25You see it there
18:26The confidence just oozing
18:28Off of Baylor
18:29That kept the Celtics
18:30In the game
18:31At least for part of that
18:32He was perfect
18:334 for 4
18:34In the final frame
18:35For 11 points
18:36That fire
18:38He's so fun to watch
18:39Baylor told me
18:40I've got a lot of confidence
18:41In myself
18:42I believe I belong
18:43On the court
18:43My teammates trust me
18:45When I'm open
18:46They find me
18:46And I just knock it down
18:48Broken thumb
18:49Be darned Baylor
18:50Making quite a case
18:51That he belongs
18:52In the playoff rotation
18:53You guys
18:54And not only that
18:55But he guards as well
18:56So the mullet
18:58He brought the mullet
18:59To Massachusetts
19:00Very nice
19:02I like
19:03I like Baylor Shireman a lot
19:05He's also brought back
19:06The thumbs up
19:07Which I feel like
19:08For the younger generation
19:09A thumbs up
19:10Is like a snarky
19:11Sassy
19:12Response to a text
19:14But now
19:14It's
19:15It's back to being
19:16A wholesome celebration
19:17Wait a minute
19:18Seriously?
19:19I think if your kid
19:19Sends you a thumbs up
19:20You should probably
19:21Take that as an insult
19:22Really?
19:23I think so
19:23I get those all the time
19:25From my friends
19:27No, Scal
19:27Your generation
19:28It's good
19:29Thumbs up
19:30That's how we communicate
19:31I'm talking Gen Z
19:33And what
19:33What
19:34How would that be bad?
19:37Oh, tough move
19:38Yeah, they're a queen
19:39For two
19:39Queen
19:41Well, Baylor Shireman
19:42Has brought it back
19:42It's now a
19:43It's a good thing again
19:46Just like the mullet
19:47You're gonna grow a mullet
19:48In the playoffs?
19:48We need the people who do the emoji
19:50To put a little piece of tape
19:51On that thumb
19:53Brown gets two more
19:54Up to seven
19:58If we raise
19:59Ten thousand dollars
20:01For the Fieldhouse Plus tonight
20:02Scout will have a mullet
20:03By Sunday
20:04I was thinking about
20:05For the playoffs
20:07Going mullet
20:09What do I gotta do?
20:10Just cut the sides short?
20:11That's it, right?
20:11You gotta grow out the back
20:12A little bit longer
20:13That's the party part
20:14Business in the front
20:15Party in the back
20:16Oh, yeah
20:17Forsberg could rock a mullet
20:19If he has one now
20:20He was there last night
20:26Richard matched up with Queen
20:28A step back
20:29And a downtown hit
20:30For the Rhett Auerbach Award winner
20:35Pushing tempo
20:36The Pelicans
20:36And Queen the jam
20:40Queen's a lot better
20:40I used to watch a lot of Queen
20:41In high school
20:42Cause he was on
20:43Cooper Flagg's team
20:44He's a lot better than I thought
20:45He was gonna be
20:46Ooh!
20:47Jalen Brown failing up
20:50Jalen Brown's gonna wanna let people know
20:53Oh, he switched shoes
20:55Blacks are out
20:56Purples are in
20:59Oduro the rebound
21:02Under three minutes to play
21:04In the opening quarter
21:05Celtics lead it by 15
21:09And Poole just a wild shot
21:11And Ugo
21:12Not a good foul
21:13No, not a good foul at all
21:15That's the type of foul
21:17Where you lose trust in your coach
21:20He did everything right
21:21Watch the closeout
21:23He stayed down
21:25Jordan, pull at the line
21:26You know, like
21:28You have to be able to analyze
21:30Like
21:30If being there close enough
21:32Good enough
21:37Pull at the line for three
21:39Here's a message from FanDuel
21:44Finds the open man
21:46He puts it up
21:48Scores!
21:51New customers bet five dollars
21:52And get two hundred and fifty
21:53In bonus bets if you win
22:00Pool is better than eighty seven
22:02Percent at the line this year
22:04He missed the first two
22:06Don't see a lot of
22:08Three in a row
22:14We don't see it there
22:15No
22:16Usually guys don't miss three in a row
22:20The Pelicans as mentioned before
22:22Do not own their first round pick this year
22:24They gave it up to move up ten spots
22:25And take Derek Queen
22:27Vucevic keeps it hot
22:28Ugo for Trace
22:31Good patience on that shot
22:32Three
22:33Jordan Poole was closing out
22:35But he kept his composure
22:38But basically
22:38I bring that up because the Pelicans have no reason to try to lose
22:41Like we've seen from some NBA teams this year
22:44Now they're doing like what most teams should be doing
22:47Playing young guys trying to win
22:50Pritchard walks into it
22:51Bullseye on a three
22:53But if the whole NBA wasn't taking
22:56They might have the worst record in the league
23:01The Celtics have opened it up
23:0320 point lead
23:04Another timeout Pelicans

24:25Celtics can clinch the two seed with a win tonight
24:28And they are on their way
24:29Leading the Pelicans by 20
24:3138-18
24:33Out of the timeout by James Borrego
24:36Their interim head coach
24:39See what New Orleans drew up in the huddle
24:41Trey Alexander on the kick to Hunter Dickinson
24:44Now Jordan Hawkins
24:46College basketball fans are recognizing these names
24:49Hawkins a national champion at UConn
24:52At 25 the other night against Utah
24:56Brown with 10 points on 4 of 5 shooting so far
25:00Snakes inside
25:01Rises up
25:03Came up short
25:08Now Alexander
25:11From Creighton
25:13Playing in his 8th game this season
25:18Dealing with Jalen Brown
25:20Tough assignment for him
25:22Peavy fires
25:23Not close
25:25Vucevic kept it alive for Pritchard
25:30And I think a foul is called on New Orleans
25:32Yeah on Alexander
25:34New Orleans foul is on number 23
25:36Trey Alexander his first
25:38First in the last two minutes
25:41This is a 29 to 9 extended run for the Celtics
25:45Against James Borrego's team
25:48He's still the interim head coach
25:50Took over in mid-November
25:51When they fired Willie Green
25:54Borrego long time Spurs assistant
25:56Pritchard ridiculous move
25:57And
25:59Pritchard
26:02Fairly new this year with Pritchard
26:06Eight points on four attempts for Pritchard
26:11Oduro offensive rebound
26:14Hawkins for three
26:16Jordan Hawkins for three
26:26The Celtics all business tonight shooting 60% from the floor
26:32Pritchard
26:32Pritchard banks in another
26:34He's got ten points in six minutes
26:36Attack full speed into contact
26:38Throws the defense and laid it up
26:41Alexander gets the bounce
26:43Pritchard
26:56Pritchard goes down after setting the screen they got the switch they want
27:00Alexander picks up J.B. makes his move to the left and too much contact from Alexander that'll put Brown
27:07at the line with the Celtics and the bonus
27:09This looks like like all these guys are trying to make a name for themselves guarding Jalen Brown they're trying
27:15to be ultra physical
27:17But Jalen Brown has an answer for everything
27:23And I've said that all year just watching him grow
27:26So there's there's nowhere he can't go on the floor he doesn't and he has a shot for every position
27:31on the floor
27:35Yeah plus 20 in the first quarter it's not bad
27:38Comforts of home presented by Bernie and Phil's save 30% on a second item now during Bernie and Phil's
27:44spring BOGO event
27:46This is a series the Celtics have dominated
27:50They play twice East versus West they played in October
27:53It was the Celtics fourth game of the season and their first win
27:56After an 0-3 start and now they play here in the second to last game of the season
28:01Yeah, remember all those haters out there
28:03Where they at now?
28:05What they gonna say now?
28:07Well, let's think of the thing now
28:08Oh, Uko showing a little bounce
28:11He didn't want to get yelled at by Joe
28:13Exactly
28:14He saw what happened to Kata
28:16He didn't want that smoke
28:26There is Hawkins five seconds left in the quarter
28:28Shireman moving the puppies nice move by Hawkins showing the quickness
28:34Pritchard time puts it up
28:38Off the mark but great start for the Celts with 44
28:42In the opening quarter their second highest scoring first quarter of the year behind only the 53
28:47They dropped on the heat
28:49In the second quarter I'm gonna tell you a ridiculous stat about how the Celtics have turned around from that
28:530-3 start
28:54It's remarkable
28:55That's coming up right after this
28:58Gorgeous day and a great start for the Celtics against the Pelicans
29:0244 to 25 on the scoreboard brought to you by Toyota's official website for deals
29:07Buyatoyota.com
29:08Back here inside TD Garden
29:10Drew Scal and Abby with you
29:12Let's check the stats by Jason Stone injury lawyers official injury law firm of the Boston Celtics
29:16Injured? Better phone Stone
29:18See right there the 10 for 18 they were guarding Jalen Brown about three guys
29:22Moving the ball early knocking down threes and the bench coming in making an impact like this guy right here
29:28Peyton Pritchard
29:3010 points in seven minutes for Pritchard in the opening quarter
29:34A step back from the short corner
29:35He has so much game. It's ridiculous
29:38Yeah Garza getting in this is like the first time I feel like Joe has gone with triple big
29:44With them not being hurt during the game or needing a break
29:49Maduro gets the foul on Garza
29:52Okada got the start Vucevic played five minutes in the first quarter and now Luka starting the second
30:00Do you expect to see that in the playoffs?
30:02No
30:02Three big rotation
30:03No
30:05Not at all
30:11I thought we were going to see that but I don't think that's the direction we're going to go
30:14Now here's a message from our sister station NBC 10 Boston
30:17Thanks guys temperatures are changing as we go into the weekend a cooler one in store
30:21But we got a big warm up in our sights that could bring us near 80 degrees next week
30:25I'll have the timeline over on NBC 10 Boston at 11
30:29Hey Pete, I don't like that attitude man
30:32Pete just dunked on me man
30:34He sure did
30:36Try to finish the read Pete
30:38He's tired of us yelling at him
30:39He said shut up Drew I got 80 degrees coming
30:43Oh
30:44Yeah, oh
30:45I was going to dunk that
30:49Hey Queen is a fun player huh
30:51He's got great vision
30:54Oh
30:54Dural
30:55He's been a beast on the offensive glass early and he gets an and one
30:59That corner crashed
31:01And really it's not really guards his fault
31:03Garza stepping up and trying to stop the ball he turns around
31:08There's a contest and then the rebound
31:12You know I don't know how Joe feels about that but
31:16Can't have one guy just sitting there responsible for all things
31:20Everybody needs to kind of chime in whether it's put a body or you know definitely crash
31:25Oduro playing his second NBA game made his debut Tuesday
31:31Four years of George Mason then wrapped up his career at Providence
31:37Pelicans for all their struggles are a top 10 offensive rebounding team in the league
31:41Celtics are fifth in both offensive rebound rate and defensive rebound rate
31:48Ugo driving from the corner
31:52Gonzales
31:52What a finish
31:53Amazing
31:54I thought the middle was open on that he decided to go baseline
31:57Oh that's a travel no call
32:01There's Alexander
32:03Can't finish
32:04Garza with a rebound
32:16Richard pulls it out now gets off it to white trying to set up Garza on the block with a
32:21mismatch
32:25Hauser to white in the corner for three
32:27Oh I want to see that play again
32:30Tim Hauser did something really cool and it threw off Jarrett Queen
32:42Celtics stay hot 11 of 19 from deep
32:48Another nice pass from Queen got Alexander open for three
32:52He processes really well
32:55Knows how to draw two and get rid of the ball
33:03That was Queen's first assist but he's made several good passes as Pritchard gets it out
33:08Hauser can't drop it in
33:09Hawkins had it ripped away by Garza
33:12And then Garzilla with a chance at an and one
33:16Alright let's take a look
33:18Watch Derek White
33:21Knock the ball free goes right to Garza
33:24That's why you give effort
33:26And then Ugo hard baseline drive
33:28Two hands two feet
33:30Throws it down
33:33Look at that
33:37Be a role player on this team you better be able to play out of the corners
33:42Ugo with eight minutes in this game already
33:45He had played seven total
33:47In April
33:48The Celtics have played five games as a team coming off back to back
33:52DNP CDs
34:00Celts got 53 points out of their bench last night in New York
34:04Those guys are playing well again tonight
34:10Luca lines it up
34:16Queen keeps his eyes up but he didn't see White coming from behind him
34:21Objects in the rearview mirror
34:23He kept trying to find Derek White
34:25It's like he knew he was back there just couldn't see him
34:28Garza bumps and another one goes
34:37Garza
34:37Alright they've been switching this
34:39Garza
34:39Deep post position gets the bump
34:42And he'll get a three point play opportunity
34:44Oh yeah look at Derek White
34:46Where's that guy at? I got this
34:51Oh it's so good
34:52He heard him just couldn't locate it
34:55James Borrego
34:57Here in the second quarter
34:59They've got three men deep in the front court
35:01But Nikola Vucevic was set to check in
35:04And right after Luca Garza shoots this free throw
35:06Vuce trying to get comfortable
35:08Finding a little rhythm after he missed nearly a month
35:10Due to that broken finger
35:12Here's to the doers presented by Honeydew
35:14Discover their new dirty soda with three different flavors
35:19Vuce finally making some progress
35:21Last night in the second half in New York
35:24You can see it
35:25Knocked down two big threes on his way to eight points
35:28He also made an impact on the boards
35:30And ended up a team high plus nine in those final 24 minutes
35:34And he played in crunch time
35:34Afterwards Vuce told the Globe
35:37I know I can shoot
35:38I've been playing for a long time
35:39So I just needed to see that one go in
35:41But he knows
35:42He said this is a great opportunity for me
35:44This will be the first meaningful playoff run in Nikola's career
35:48And he said I think there's areas where my skill set can really help this team
35:52It gives a different dimension as Peyton Pritchard continues to kill here in the first half
35:59But last night a step forward for Nikola
36:02The thing that's interesting to me is when we spoke with Brad Stevens
36:06President of Basketball Operations recently
36:08He said he thinks that week off while the play-in tournament is happening
36:11Will be even more impactful for Vucevic to get comfortable
36:15While the Celtics actually get some practice time in there before the playoffs start
36:19I like that
36:21Different sets they're gonna run
36:22How they're gonna guard
36:23Different people
36:25It's gonna be good
36:29Heavey's called for the foul as Vuce checks back in
36:35I'm just thinking about those dirty sodas
36:37Oh man
36:39Honeydew
36:39You sound good
36:40You were crazy when we were in Utah about dirty soda
36:42I was hoping to get one but you weren't tough enough to try it
36:46Oh shut that down
36:47Soda's not already sweet enough
36:49You gotta add
36:49A burst of cherry
36:52Dirty sodas
36:53Add some cream
36:55Creamer like you put in your coffee
36:58Maybe Keita
36:59Maybe Keita's done
37:01For the half
37:02It's a little you know like tune-up
37:04Only played seven minutes
37:06And six rebounds
37:08And a couple assists
37:21Like trying to navigate the Kavon Looney screen
37:27It's fears the rookie from Oklahoma over the top of the backboard Celtics ball
37:33Fierce has played now all 81 games for the Pelicans of his rookie season
37:38Yeah he's had a great year
37:40I would be excited about Fierce
37:43And Queen
37:45You know they're not involved in this draft but they got two young really good players
37:51His older brother Jeremy Fierce Sr. had a great season for Michigan State this year
37:57Vucevic puts it in
38:00We're gonna want to see more of that
38:05We're gonna need a guy that can knock down three
38:08Our five men to be able to knock down three
38:11Whatever that is
38:12There's gonna be a moment in time where we're gonna have to stretch the floor
38:15To open it up for Jalen Brown or Jason Tatum
38:20Pritchard tried to bank it in
38:23It just gives you a different look in the playoffs
38:26Yeah
38:28Well you saw you know like
38:31Against the Knicks
38:32You saw what the Carlton Towns and his three-point shooting did to us
38:36Yeah
38:37So you want to do you want to do the same thing to teams
38:40If you're gonna be in drop coverage and down the floor
38:43Well you pay the price
38:44Pay the price with the pick and pop three
38:50Everybody talks about the coaches and adjustment in the chess match
38:54Well it's only you can only have the chess match if you have the pieces
38:59You've got to have a guy that can do that or else you can't make certain adjustments
39:04All right tonight after postgame live catch another edition of Celtics post-up
39:08Caleb Burton and Chris Forsberg take a look at the lighter side of the Celtics in the NBA
39:12It's presented by Eastern Propane and Oil
39:14They're in your neighborhood
39:19You saw the Celtics staff of course led by Joe Mazzulla
39:23Incredible job they have done
39:26After an 0-3 start the Celtics are 54-26
39:31Here is Hauser
39:34Out to Jordan Walsh back in the game and back in the scoring column
39:37Yeah that's a nice possession
39:39Ball was driven by Jalen Brown and went all the way around the horn
39:43Over to Jordan Walsh for a wide open three
39:47No shot as Poole got the contact on Walsh
39:51One more would put the Celtics in the penalty
39:53His first goal
39:55He's doing good basketball
39:57Extra pass Hauser
39:58And then he kicks it out
40:00Jordan Walsh
40:01He's got to be able to knock down that corner three to earn his playing time
40:05He's showing Joe Mazzulla
40:06I want an opportunity to be in that playoff rotation
40:10And that was Hauser's fourth assist
40:13Moving the ball well around that three-point arc
40:16Fears for three
40:18But one more win and the Celtics will become
40:21The fourth team in NBA history to start 0-3
40:24And then win at least 55 games
40:27Brown with a nifty finish
40:30Wait say that one more time
40:31Start 0-3 and win at least 55 games
40:35There's been three teams that have done it
40:37Three teams have done it ever
40:38If you can name them
40:39I will be super impressed
40:41I'll do the running
40:42Give me the clue
40:43Oh
40:49I don't know what happened that thing even get lost
40:51You know I see the ball flying up towards the tunnel
40:57That went like 10-15 rows up at least
41:05I think there's some clues to give you
41:08These other turnaround teams
41:12Hawkins trying to get the bump and he got the basket anyway
41:18The most recent team
41:19Okay
41:20Let's see
41:2310-15 years ago they played super fast and they had a huge home court advantage
41:27Oh so it would be the Denver Nuggets
41:2910-15 years ago
41:32Not mellow
41:33Post mellow
41:34Oh
41:37Pritchard gives the foul on Fears to prevent the easy bucket
41:40I wouldn't have guessed that one
41:41Ty Lawson team in 2013
41:44By the way he got like all NBA votes
41:48Then
41:49How many years?
41:50About 20 years ago a team that had the MVP and got stunned in the first round
41:55Dallas Mavericks
41:57Who lost to the we believe Warriors in 2007
41:59They won 65 games
42:01After going 0-3
42:02After going 0-3
42:04Okay
42:04And then this is
42:05That will never happen again
42:06Okay
42:07This is pretty good company for the Celtics team
42:10Best player of all time
42:13Okay
42:14His first championship year the Bulls started 0-3 in 1990-91
42:18Sir Jordan was a real treat to be around
42:21At 0-3
42:24They probably told him
42:25Hey Mike we need you to be nice to everybody
42:28And he's like you know what man I'm not doing that nice thing
42:32And they go and turn their season around
42:35And then they all complained in the documentary about it
42:39Peavy on the flush
42:41This is interesting
42:42They are into Brown
42:44Different bodies
42:45Two bodies on him
42:46So I want to see how he handles this
42:48Like we're going to see this in the playoffs
42:56Man Peavy just is like
42:57He is out here just fouling people
43:01And I give him credit
43:02Like I don't know anything about him
43:04But it looks like he's a good defender
43:06And judging by that shot that just ricocheted and broke the backboard
43:09I'm assuming he can't shoot and he's trying to earn his way
43:13This is like his whole life is right now
43:15Right in front of us
43:16And we look at hey we're up by 24
43:19But he's guarding Jalen Brown and trying to stay in the league
43:22James Borrego compared him to Bruce Bowen
43:25Oh I can see that
43:26James Borrego was an assistant with the Spurs for a long time
43:29As Brown just that head of steam to the basket
43:31Jalen Brown scoring on three guys
43:35He is six for eight from the floor
43:39And Poole just dribbled it out of bounds
43:42All right
43:43JB goes by one
43:45Splits two
43:46And finishes over three
43:47Here's a good look from the dunking cam
43:49It's all about the dunk
43:51You can get a sense for the speed
43:53At which these guys play
43:55Under four minutes left in the second
43:57Celtics with a comfortable lead
44:00Brown in and out dribble by Queen
44:03Poole the interception
44:04For the Celtics turn over and they get it right back
44:07Tommy Point
44:08Jordan Walsh
44:10Pritchard gives it up Brown
44:14Foul on Vuc
44:15That had play worthy written all over it
44:19Look at Jordan Walsh showing you what a Tommy Point looks like
44:22That's focus
44:24And he tracks it down
44:27There you go
44:28There you go
44:29And Derrick White
44:30Stands up
44:33Let's him know
44:34D. White knows Tommy Point when he sees one
44:36Derrick White loves plays like that
44:42It'll be interesting
44:43In the playoffs because
44:45As we end the regular season here
44:47Walsh is the guy from that group of wings
44:50Who's been playing the most with you know Ugo and Ron Harper Jr.
44:55Like Shireman is locked in I think at this point
44:57But what what does it look like with Walsh Gonzalez and Harper?
45:03I don't know
45:06Even if I knew you never know Joe
45:09What do you mean?
45:11I have no idea
45:13But you know what's great about Joe?
45:16I can ask him later and he could tell me after the fact
45:24Oh
45:25There we go
45:28He's just getting his shot back
45:30See legs under him
45:32And the Celtics have scored at least 70 in the first half for the 13th time this season
45:37Still more than three minutes until half and Jalen Brown is cooking him
45:42Jalen Brown stopped dribbling slow and went back to
45:46All right
45:47You guys want to be physical?
45:48I'll just blow right by you
45:50James Borrego spending timeouts like he's got a credit card for him

46:50The answer is yes
46:51The answer is yes
46:52Yeah, he's going to be top five
46:53Oh, that's a block
46:57Derek Queen
46:58Unless he grabbed his arm
47:01I tell you what man
47:02Derek Queen processes at a high rate
47:06I hope the folks at home could hear him
47:09No, no, no
47:10Yeah
47:11Alright, let's take a look
47:15We'll get that between these free throws
47:26So here's the fast break
47:27There's the decel
47:29Oh yeah, right there easy
47:35Queen did not agree with that call
47:41How am I looking for my 40 piece wing dinner?
47:44He's got 20
47:45I think I need like
47:47I think I need like 27 by the half
47:51To feel good about my 40 piece wing dinner
47:54Probably won't play that much in the fourth quarter if at all
47:57Man, that's some separation right there
48:05Queen posting up Shireman
48:07Good touch
48:08Man, he's like Jokic
48:11Those were when his his highlights started coming out his rookie year. That's what everyone was saying
48:20You know who the best player on that high school team was it wasn't really Cooper
48:25It looked like more like McNeely
48:28Liam McNeely it looked like he kind of carried himself like the best player
48:32That's awesome. Even though we know Cooper flag was the best player
48:36Liam McNeely now playing with the Hornets
48:38Yeah, probably getting some burn tonight
48:42All 30 teams across the NBA in action tonight and Sunday
48:46Everybody's off tomorrow
48:47Check the game leaders brought to you by Arbella Insurance

48:55As Pritchard reinstates the 30 point lead
48:57He and Brown the top scorers for the Celts
49:01For the Pelicans the rookies lead in the way Queen and a Fears
49:05You know Queen has played 79 games entering tonight Fears all 80
49:08I think for Pelicans fans that's just
49:10Kind of refreshing
49:13Oh, yeah, from where they are
49:14Zion has played 56% of his possible regular season games
49:20See the big fella go to work
49:25They bring the double with Pritchard
49:28Three to shoot
49:29Poole out to Peavey
49:33They try it again
49:34And the Celtics will let him
49:39He was two for three the other night
49:41Against Utah
49:43Walsh the catch and release out to Vucevic
49:45Who buries another
49:46You don't see him in the corner very often
49:49Mostly pick and pop from the top
49:52That's the Celtics 16-3
49:54They might have some
49:57Flirtation with 30
50:02Celtics foul will put the Pelicans at the line
50:06Vucevic yet to miss
50:08Now in the double figures with 11
50:11Third foul on Pritchard
50:13Fears to the line
50:23They stay tuned for Celtics halftime live with Giles and Eddie
50:27Presented by DraftKings Sportsbook
50:30Yeah, and you guys even know the score is what it is
50:33Stay with us for the second half
50:34We got a lot of things on on deck
50:36We're seeing how much money drew Carter's raising
50:39I might be doing the running man for 10 seconds in postgame
50:42We're also going to check it scores around the league
50:45And find out kind of we have any more answers after today
50:49There's a lot of people playing and a lot of games that are important

51:01Martin Richard Foundation, Shamrock Foundation, Boys and Girls Club
51:04All collaborating on that project
51:07Walls from the corner
51:09The Celtics are 17 for 30 from downtown
51:12Plus you could see history as well
51:14If the Celtics keep teeing up these threes
51:18Hey, if they get 30 you're going to have to do the running man
51:20You got it man, I will
51:22Maybe the cabbage patch kiss
51:23I don't know what that is
51:25You can YouTube it
51:31Remember the Celtics in the opener last year made 29 against the Knicks
51:36And we're trying to break the NBA record with their 30th
51:39Maybe we see that tonight
51:41Brown again chisels inside but he's called for the offensive foul
51:46I mean if a guy is riding you
51:49Like I don't know man, look if a guy is riding you like that
51:55Oh that's tough
51:57Nah, I take it back
51:58It's a foul
52:00This kid's tough man, if I was here might be locked in the gym
52:03Working on that jumper
52:06PB can
