Jayson Tatum playing/not playing tonight against Milwaukee?? Good decision to rest? 'Schedule Merchant'? What can Paul George do without JT?
Is Jayson Tatum playing better than expected thus far? 3's an issue?
Transcript
00:00And I believe Peyton Pritchard dealing with some sort of shoulder thing.
00:05However, Wiggy, this Milwaukee team, I believe,
00:09has one single win so far in the season.
00:12So good night for Jason Tatum to rest the Achilles.
00:17And for Paul George, who had a night off, to show us what he's made of.
00:23Yeah, I mean, I think the Celtics get Jason the rest when he needs it.
00:28I know he played a couple.
00:28He played, what was it, a couple back-to-backs.
00:33And, you know, they didn't have a great shooting night against Houston.
00:36Get him some rest.
00:38And that, to me, is the most important thing with the Celtics team.
00:43In the Twitch chat, somebody is calling Jason Tatum a schedule merchant.
00:50Like, I'm sorry.
00:53Maybe he wants to pad the stats.
00:55I have no idea.
00:56But if he wanted to pad the stats, he would play.
00:59Well, that's what they're saying.
01:00They can't believe that he doesn't want to pad his stats tonight.
01:03I think he's more concerned about his health and being right for us.
01:07He's been pretty good so far.
01:08He's, you know, when it comes to the three, he's not necessarily, I think, where he would like to be.
01:14But he ain't forcing it.
01:15That's what I love about it.
01:16He's not forcing a lot of three-pointers.
01:18I think he's shot in the Houston game.
01:20I want to say, I think he might have only shot five of them, right?
01:22So, like, all right, if it's not falling and your three-point shot is not there, don't – at least
01:27you're not forcing eight, nine, ten of them.
01:29Hey, if you only shoot five for a game, I'm cool with that.
01:32Yeah.
01:32And get to the free throw line, which he's been trying to do more of.
01:35Shoot more of the mid-range stuff.
01:37Some people are second-guessing Brad when it comes to Mitchell Robinson and he hasn't done much for you and
01:46whether that was a mistake on Brad Stevens' part, I don't know that you can determine that yet.
01:51You knew what you were getting from Mitchell Robinson, though.
01:53Like, if anybody who thought they were getting, like, some offensive player from Mitchell Robinson clearly didn't watch him play
02:01at all when he's with the Knicks.
02:03He's a rebounder on both ends of the floor.
02:06Or he's going to play, you know, good defense, he's a good rim protector, and he's going to be a
02:10pick-and-lob guy.
02:11That's what Mitchell Robinson is, and he can't shoot free throws.
02:14But don't expect him to be an offensive player.
02:18Like, don't expect him to be, like, somebody that you're saying, all right, we're going to utilize him in our
02:23offense with the pick-and-rolls and that.
02:25That's just not who he is.
02:26He's not going to stretch the floor.
02:27I mean, that's the only area where I'm a little bit concerned is because –
02:31Is the big.
02:32Other than Luka Gaza, none of them could stretch the floor.
02:36But Luka Gaza, like, really offensively is limited.
02:40So your offensive big's position is very limited.
02:45Cade is still a work in progress.
02:47He's a pick-and-lob guy.
02:49Mitchell Robinson's a pick-and-lob guy.
02:51Luka Gaza's more of, like, you know, spot-up three-point shooter when, you know, the ball moves and you
02:57find to get him open.
02:59But that's the one area where I'm going to be like, all right, they're not going to get much from
03:04their bigs on the offensive end.
03:07You know, and when you've seen their bigs in the past, whether it was with Porzingis or even Al Horford,
03:13you at least go, all right, you're going to get a little something on the offensive end, but you're not
03:17getting much.
03:18And a texter says the number is actually – Tatum was one for seven from three against the Rockets.
03:24All right, I'll take one for seven.
03:25So that's a work in progress.
03:27Yeah, but I'll take one for seven.
03:28It's a difference between –
03:29Oh, from Jason Tatum?
03:31Yeah.
03:32Yeah, when he's normally shooting eight, nine, ten, three-pointers a game, I'd take seven rather than ten.
03:40Okay.
03:41So you wouldn't take seven over ten?
03:42Yeah, I would rather, you know, if you're one for five, I think you'd call it a day.
03:48Yeah, I mean, I get it, but it's like – I mean, his average –
03:52Wiggy just wants him to keep firing him up there.
03:55My lead was is that the fact that if you look at his average, he's below his average when it
03:59comes to shooting three-pointers.
04:00So I'm all for that.
04:03I think that you can say fairly that Tatum's game has improved compared to what we saw when it's related
04:10to the three-point shot.
04:11He's taken more –
04:12Yes.
04:12He's turned down more threes, shot more mid-range through the first seven games of the season.
04:17And that's what I'm happy with.
04:18We're not sitting here going, oh, he's launching up another one.
04:21So, all right, seven is basically, what, one and a half a quarter?
04:26I can live with that.
04:28Yeah, I mean, I think for those who think this team is basically Tatum and a whole bunch of others
04:35–
04:35Which it is.
04:36– then tonight without Tatum is a good test for those others.
04:41Yeah.
04:41Well, I –
04:42It's a big test.
04:42The Bucs are a bunch of no ones.
04:44Yeah, exactly.
04:45You should beat them.
04:46Yeah, but still, I still think that you see who else kind of takes control when Jason Tatum's not out
04:51there.
04:51I think that that's an important night for a lot of these guys.
04:53If I were the Celtics, I would start a harp.
04:56I guess it's probably like Paul George, Derek White.
04:58Dude, they should do that, like, coming back from when they play the Sixers.
05:02Yes.
05:02Next week, they should have, like, a harpist.
05:06Well, I guess it's down there, so it'd have to be Jalen Brown.
05:08On the beds, just have a harp.
05:12But so, like, tonight is a night where I don't, like, I don't really look at what are some of
05:18these other guys going to do.
05:19I think when you start to look at this team –
05:21Oh, hold on.
05:22Can you just hold that thought for a second?
05:26One of my favorite features of my home here is my harp.
05:32This is an 18th century harp that was reimagined.
05:36The gilding is 24 karat gold.
05:38I think this is probably one of my most expensive pieces here.
05:42A lot of times when I was looking for stuff, I just wasn't looking at the price.
05:46I was just looking at stuff that kind of fit me, but it's been a pleasure to have Lyshawn here,
05:51who's been an amazing therapist.
05:56Lyshawn is, I'm assuming, the harpist.
05:58Yes.
05:59She's in the video, yes.
06:00All right.
06:01And is she there at all times?
06:03I think just for sunsets.
06:04Well, what if he wakes up in the night, Jalen Brown, feeling a little stressed and requires some harp therapy?
06:12Is she available or has she gone home?
06:15I'm sure she's on retainer.
06:16Okay.
06:17She's on retainer.
06:17So he just sends her, like gets on the beeper and goes 911 and she's there immediately with the harp.
06:24Well, he likes a harpist.
06:26Yeah.
06:27I would too.
06:28Now, wasn't Santo a musician growing up?
06:32Well, he was in acapella.
06:34Yeah, he was in the Do Re Migos.
06:42Do you ever ask Santo to just break out into song if you are feeling stressed or requiring therapy?
06:49No, my husband breaks out into song quite frequently.
06:52Oh, he does?
06:52Yeah.
06:53All right.
06:53All right.
06:54Excellent.
06:54Yeah.
06:55So he was like a...
06:56He was like a falsetto.
06:57Curtis, what's the dude named from the office?
07:00Oh, Andy Bernard.
07:01So he was like one of those guys in one of those groups.
07:03What was the name of the group he was in?
07:04He was in the Do Re Migos.
07:05That's why I said he was in Brown.
07:07Oh, Broccoli Rob?
07:08Yeah.
07:08Let me just...
07:09Also, let me clear it up because I'm getting some text messages on the Subaru of New England
07:14text line.
07:15I'm not implying this.
07:17Like somebody says, are you implying harpist with benefits?
07:19And no, I am not.
07:21Of course not.
07:22Why would you...
07:23I would...
07:24I would...
07:24I mean, I never even knew what a harpist was until Jalen Brown.
07:28Yeah.
07:29And I'm corrected, Wiggs.
07:30It was Here Comes Treble.
07:31Oh, okay.
07:32Thank you to the...
07:33I was a fan of the treble makers from Pitch Press.
07:35Perfect.
07:35The Mandalorian and the Twitch.
07:37He does got a nice crib.
07:38I ain't gonna knock him for that.
07:39Very nice.
07:39Oh, it's very nice.
07:41Piano's different.
07:41Ray Charles.
07:42Grand piano.
07:43All right.
07:44You know, you want to have a little something cool.
07:46But what you're doing here is you're bringing something that...
07:51I would say a lot of people, I'd be like, man, what the hell is a harp?
07:55You know what's better than having roses on your piano?
07:59What's that?
08:00Tulips on your organ.
08:02If you have an organ.
08:05If you have an organ in your house, which many do.
08:09All right.
08:09You're 60 now.
08:10Let's reel it in.
08:11No, 60 is when you get to the dad joke.
08:14I am stereotyping.
08:15You are.
08:16I am.
08:16You're stereotyping him.
08:17That's when you get there.
08:18Guy's got a grill and a harp.
08:20But Wiggy, would you feel different if he didn't have this shown off?
08:24Let's reel it in.
