Speaker 1 (00:00):
Coming up on this edition of Celtics Weekly, We've got
all the top plays from another winning week, go behind
the scenes with Celtics City, and hear how Derek White
rediscovered his joy.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
All that and more.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
Now Welcome into Celtics Weekly. This is where we catch
you up with everything related to the world champion Celtics.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
It's a head band.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Whoa, it's a head band, show Megan A o'lini with
NBC Sports Boston's Chris Forresberth. Chris is a vibe. This
was my idea, but I feel like he's really stealing
the spotlight right now.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
I appreciate that, but we have the same rules as
Jason Tatum and Derek White. When MAKES said we're going
to do headband, I said, no, no, no option. I
must do it. And now I'm kind of obsessed with
the look and so I'm just gonna rock it for
like the foreseeable future. This the mustache, everything ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
People don't know that that's this is how your trademark
little piece of flair on your suit started. So now
we're going to keep adding accessories and I love it
for you. Headbands are no headbands. It was a huge
week for the Celtics. So let's get right into our
highlights with plays of the week. And where do we
start but number ten with the new guy, Tory Craig
(01:24):
in Billy, Tory Craig has this huge block on Daniel Roddy.
Watch the replay of this because you can see Roddy
just thinks that he has to think about Sam Hauser.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
But there Pastory type take.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Down block guy. What a way to make an impression.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Number nine, d you wipe this quick peraps four zingers
from the inbound pass.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
How do you lose the seven foot three guy? But
here he comes off the.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Grin and oh oh no, no no.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
I didn't know if you're actually going to do that,
and I love you, Corey. Let's go to number eight
so I can regain my composure. Tory Craig again on
this one loses the all. But it's okay. Don't panic
because on the other side you got Derek White pick
in his pocket and Jason Patum finds Craig.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
For the dunk.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
I want you to seek the crack of the common
theme here. So guy the headband with the steel, guy
with the headband with the outlet pass, and guy with
the headband dunk in the basta. That's how you messed
my head band officials.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Number seven, you got Jalen Brown.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
He's getting caught up here in the sixers, but he's
got eyes in the back of his head for Christops Porzingis.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
Look, you can play defense for twenty three seconds and
christof Pusinga is still going to burn you with the
quick release. Krishan YABUCHELLI never had a chances to back.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
And if you're on the other side, the worst part
is the smiles that he gives everyone after he sinks
this shot.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Look at that.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
That's work.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Number six Hay and Fritch are going full seat slams
on the brakes, hits A three. Watch the ankles breaking
on this replay.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
So I'm not sure that Peyton Fritcher made it for
customs last night. I'm not sure you can take those
ankles over the border. The boy did he take your VA?
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Number five starts with a Porzingis block on Chat, and
you got Jason Tatum finding Drew Holiday with a perfect outlet.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
So look, I don't know if Tatum borrowed Drew Holiday
Dennis because you we've had a little good vision down
the court. Bobbed it out there, perfect pass right in stride.
That's get a layout.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Number four.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
Tatum and Cornett the two man game breaking the Sixers defense.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
It's a glitch. It's a glitch in the matrix.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
So this is a new stock to the Malone. Not
sure if you're aware, but Jason Tatum and Luke Cornette
pretty much an unstoppable duo in the NBA right now
and pretty much tied the Sixers into a pretzel, leading
to a Luke Cornett.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Layout number three. Let's get more Luke Cornett.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Okay, while we have the time.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Hay and Pritchard is maneuvering through some traffic signs.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Cornet for thee.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
I love the vision here from Peyton Frichard, always on
the moves, get to the defense to collapse, and then
what you're gonna do? Boom, Luke rode it down.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Number two.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
I'm just gonna let you know we're cheating here a
little bit because it's really too high alight.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
It's Derek White with.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
The block party on Grady Dick and Peyton Pritchard's feeling
the deal on the other side in both of these plays.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
But really it's all about the blocks from Derek.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Wlay and Derek it's the best shot blocking guard in
the NBA.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
But I just love he loved meeting.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
A person at the rim and just denying them to
their faith and even better, keeps the ball in possession
for the Celtics go the other way and Peyton making.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Them Page White number one. A guy.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
We're going to talk about a lot of the show
because we already haven't. Derek Whaite comes up with the
rebound to Jason Tatum who finds Jalin Brown and you
just love that Jay and Jay chemistry.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
Right now, you're three superstars from the Celticks getting involved
in this play. Look at Derek chasing it down, make
sure he doesn't get hit in the face. And when
the Jays connect like this, who there is nothing sweeter.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Those are your top plays. Let's go now to Inside Access.
The Celtis and HBO.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Have a docu series debuting on March third, called Celtics City.
It explores in depth the eighteen time world champion Boss Celtics.
From executive producers Bill Simmons and Connor Schell. The nine
part docu series debuts at nine pm on HBO and
will be available to stream on Max, with new episodes
debuting weekly through April twenty eight, Celtic City chronicles the
(05:16):
remarkable saga of the Boston Celtics, the NBA's winningest and
most storied franchise, from its founding as one of the
league's original teams all the way to its triumphant twenty
twenty four championship. Along the way, delving into the fierce rivalries,
defining moments in societal forces that have shaped the organizations
(05:37):
enduring legacy. Featuring never before seen archival footage and over
eighty interviews with past and present Boston Celtics legends, from
Bob Coosey and Larry Bird to Jason Tatum and Jalen Brown,
the series captures the scope of the team's influence, leaving
together the personalities, battles, tragedies, and triumphs that have defied
(06:00):
I'm the franchise across more than seven decades of American history.
And who better to join us to talk about this
amazing docu series pre Mary than Jeff Twist, vice president
of Media Services with the Boston Celtics.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
Jeff and the unofficial Celtics historian, can we can Are
you fair?
Speaker 2 (06:19):
With?
Speaker 3 (06:19):
Are you okay? With that title and we had that
a very hard there we go.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Well, thank you for joining us to talk about this
because it's so exciting I think for me, aside from
the eighty different interviews, which I can't wait to hear,
I wish I could go through all the raw footage
of what those interviews are like, but to hear what's
selected for the docu.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Series, the archival footage.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Yes, what was it like to go through the archival
footage and find this never before seen video to show
to Celtics fans of the last seven decades.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
Thank you for being having me on and being a
part of the show here today. But it was it
was really surreal because not the same and I've worked
here forty plus years for the Celtic I've seen everything,
but I haven't because there's so much untapped and so
much unique footage. It was like, Wow, you see yourself,
You pinch yourself. I never knew this existed. And one
(07:15):
one I do have to share with you real quickly,
not to spoil the surprise, but Nancy and Randy auerback
Coach Hourback's daughters, they had these old tapes of Coach
from the State Department trip across behind the iron curtain,
Oh my god, and family videos like them at the
beach or a summerhouse.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
It's forty plus years. Number, fifty plus years now, like
how much is it to put to get this all
on film and the show? Like the legacy and what
people haven't seen about this organization?
Speaker 4 (07:42):
Right, It was a task to try to break it
down into the nine parts that you will see. And
it kind of not necessarily goes by error or decade,
but it does. It has to start from day one
in forty six when the team is built. And thank
thank Heaven's Bob Coosey is still with us and very
sharp to recall a lot of memories and dates because
he would say a date on film on the interview
(08:04):
and I go back and look it up, not to
check his facts. Now he's right, he's spot on. How
do you remember that from fifty sixty seven years ago?
But he does. And we're very fortunate have Bob Whiles,
Tom sat Sanders. You know, two real people I admire
and really are icons in our business.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
I bet you think about this a lot. But as
you're going through all this archival footage and thinking about
the different areas of Championship basketball in Boston. Are there
any enduring themes that you find when you're going back
to the fifties, the sixties, the eighties into where we
are now with this iteration of Boston basketball tightness.
Speaker 4 (08:42):
I don't know if you want to call it brotherhood, teamwork, bonding, unity.
There's a word there that you can see in each
Celtic and it's Celtic's family and it's pride, and those
do words come through. But they've done a job together
from day one, which training camp starts. But when they
coozy or whoever throws the ball up and they're hugging
(09:03):
their son or whatever each year, it's that bonding. Is
that it's that glue that kind of keeps all of
them together and the desire not only to be the
best in the world or the NBA, but to be
the best amongst their peers and amongst themselves.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Jeff Toys, thank you so much for teeing the time
to sit down and talk with us about this is
such a tremendous project, So congratulations on it and again.
Celtic City debuts March third on HBO runs through the
end of April, so you want to catch every one
of those nine episodes.
Speaker 5 (09:38):
The twenty twenty four pops at Celtics are one of
the greatest teams in the NBA and his time we did.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
It is eighteen.
Speaker 5 (09:50):
I'll come to work out of respect for what people
have laid here before. The Red Arbeck used to say
it best.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Celtic pride, the greatest of the game. The first game
in Boston, player walks up to me, Sit, don't look
company all these retired numbers, championship banners.
Speaker 6 (10:10):
I just thought this was normal, and then you go
to other arenas you quickly realize that's not the same.
Speaker 5 (10:17):
They look at that little lepricn and sometimes I just
want to spit in his face.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
The Boston Celtics bring out the worst and everybody else.
We've got to be lay here in the car.
Speaker 4 (10:32):
That was the classic, just a classic.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
Larry Bird carried the city on his back and for
a lot of people he was going to be the
savior one way or the other.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Thirty teams in the league, but how many got things
that last forever.
Speaker 5 (10:46):
The Boston Celtics have to be central to the city
of Boston and the players who played for the Celtics
captive field like Celtics.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
In Boston's a rough place.
Speaker 6 (10:55):
The bottom line is, isn't all ice cream and cherries?
Speaker 4 (10:57):
You know?
Speaker 5 (10:59):
Yeah, let's tell the whole story. Have you teen that
hung a banner that's going through something.
Speaker 4 (11:09):
This letter was sent to the garden and it was
a threat against Bill's life and the kids.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Went biased with this world in front of him gone.
Speaker 4 (11:18):
Reggie Lewis and he said his career may be over.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
He's thinking not again. Hole Peers gets stabbed multiple times,
almost dies.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
A lot of things happening outside they're in it that
are difficult.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
But the time I spent in the locker room on
the floor of my teammates.
Speaker 4 (11:34):
Was like Heaven.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
Larry Bird's not walking through that door, fans, Kevin Mchal's
not walking through that door, and Robert Parrish is not
walking through that door.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
This kind of bonding duplicate your greatest thing you could
accomplish his friendship.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
Oh thank you, Boston, I love you.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
They all know each other's story because it's all part
of their story.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
The Celtics are a way of life, life and not
just to take the team there the Celtics.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Let's go now to social snapshot. We're over at the
Big Born with Melissa Valdez, our host and special correspondent.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Melissa, you've been.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
All over the web, the talking to fans, trying to
collects some good stuff.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
What do you have for us in sad starts talking.
Speaker 6 (12:29):
It's a great time.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
Let's check it out.
Speaker 6 (12:31):
Social snapshot time. First post. Alhofer is an official Hall
of Fame, are you guys? This was a post from
his high school in Michigan, the Grand Ledge High School.
Congrats to the class of twenty twenty four g LHS
Athletic Hall of Fame inductee Alhrford. His jersey was officially
retired tonight. He's joined by his family there accepting his
(12:54):
jersey being raised. There's a banner here that talks about
the NBA World Champion. He's always going to be a legend.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
Our eyes.
Speaker 6 (13:00):
Congratulations to Al Horford and something to also know. He's
the second Celtics player in two weeks that has been
who jersey has been retired. We know that De White
recently in Colorado, so congrats to them. And I also
want to point out Jason Tatum giving him some props
and some fire emojis out.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
I love this because it's only a matter of time
before Al Horford's number is in the Basketball Hall of Tame.
So go for the high school to get on this
and get this up there. I think I read it
was the first time they've retired in Jersey since twenty ten,
So big moment for glad they found a break.
Speaker 4 (13:32):
In the schedule.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
And remember they're playing the Pistons tonight, so maybe some
Michigan love. A little Michigan feels some good Vidge for us.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
I love it, and I also love the dedication to
the number, yes' forty two going all the way back
to high school.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
What else have you got?
Speaker 1 (13:45):
All right?
Speaker 6 (13:46):
Next up from Celtic's GRD says the anomaly is not
officially listed on Jason Tatum's basketball reference page as a nickname.
And we know he has plenty of nicknames, but he's
a versatile, skilled player. He has a unique name, so
it feels fitting, you know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (14:02):
How are we feeling about this?
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Mag I don't like it. It's just it's not It's
not the kind of.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Word that, at least I say in everyday conversation, So
it's a mouthful, and a nickname is supposed to be easier.
It's supposed to have snapped jumped right off the tongue
instead of saying Jason Tatum, the eno does not roll
off the tongue.
Speaker 6 (14:21):
Well, you can always know him Jay or Taco J.
You know, big dude, plenty of options.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
The one that should have stuck was that when Lebron
said he was a problem, he could have been the
problem and the truth and the problem. I will continue
to scream Taco J is fine, but Jason Tatum is
a problem.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
T Shir is in a good way.
Speaker 6 (14:39):
Last one is from Abostonian to see we love her post.
They're always so much fun. This looks like a Renaissance painting.
And you got Tory Craig and look Cortnett. They have
been turned into a work of art.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
Check this out. Look at the dub by the basketball
We missus. I like the bird over there. This is
a trend on social media, on Twitter in particular. I
know there's an account that art as sports. Sports is
art and.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
It does look like because you see the grace that
the guys play with like, it does look like something
that would be on the ceiling the Steine Chapel.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
Can we just be honest that anything involving Luke Cornett.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
Looks like a work of absolutely yah.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
In a museum, So it's it's not surprising that you
just like throw a little filter on there and Luke
looks awesome, so grateful.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
Absolutely all right, Well, thank you, Melissa, don't go anywhere,
because on the other side, who else could we talk
about this week? But Derek White, We're going to hear
from him.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
And how he found his joy playing basketball again. Welcome back.
(16:07):
We're going out to small bites.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
It's a snack size segment that packs the punch of
a main course. And last week I practice, Derek White
talked to us about how he felt that he needed
to find his joy playing basketball again.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Well, coach Joe Mizzula, he spoke.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
On that right after the tremendous Nix win that the
Celtics had, and here's how he weighed in.
Speaker 5 (16:31):
Derek White was talking about how he was kind of
lacking joy a little bit during that tougher stretch and
that he's been able to kind of rediscover that.
Speaker 4 (16:37):
Do you see like a change in his demeanor and just.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
Like how how is that? How does that translate to
the court and then kind of to the best.
Speaker 5 (16:42):
Yeah, just playing with a freedom right. I think as
you as you become a better player, which he's done
since he's gotten here, and with the success that he's had,
the expectations rise. And when the expectations rise, it's easy
for the joy to be, you know, robbed from uh
And that's just kind of the natural ebbs and flows
of her career. And I think there are moments where
you have to fight for that. And so when he's
at his best, he plays care free, he makes big
(17:05):
shots like he did tonight, and then he just defends
at a super high level and you know, but you
have to go through those. I'm glad he went through
it. It was important for his growth. It was important for
us to see him struggle because it shows how much
we need him, and it was important for him to
fight for that confidence because you know, he's one of
the best point guards in the league, and when he
plays like that, we're a different team.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
I love that perspective from Joe Mizzoula because it goes
back to things that I think anyone who's played sports
have heard since they were in early high school, which
is just just go out and play, play loose, play
care free, and it actually can be a real process
that you have to go through to get there, and
so to hear Derek White be able to recognize that
(17:45):
and then rediscover that and play at the level that
he's playing at now, it's just a It's a testament
to who he is and who he continues to grow
into as an NBA player.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
What's crazy to me is I can't even imagine a
world where Derek White isn't happy right, like he just
enjoyed personified out there, is just normally smiling, having fun,
mixing it up with Tatum, and yet we get it
right like he's struggling that wears on you, and he
was in as long of a slump as we've seen
in his time with the Celtics. But as Derek goes,
so goes to the Celtics. I don't think it's any
coincidence that as Derek refound that joy, as he's gotten
(18:18):
back to being super impactful on the court, Celtics launch
into this stretch where they've ripped off ten wins in
eleven games, and they just got to find a way
make sure the most important thing moving forward, make sure
Derek keeps his joy absolutely so that there will be
joy in June with one of those.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
Absolutely, Hey, what a perfect time then to turn to
player spotlight and shine our spotlight on Derek White because
of whom he's been since he rediscovered that joy. It's
bringing all of us a lot of joy, to be honest,
because in February, White shooting is almost at forty seven percent.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
That's ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
He has thirteen or more points in twelve straight games,
and he's averaging sixteen point three points per game.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Which is a career high. So yeah, i'd be that too.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
I don't know if they've had to get him bigger
shorts because every time he's checking, there's threes in his pockets,
like and they're just overflowing.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
So got to let those cargo shorts go in bring.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
Back the nineties look like just overflowing with three pointers
like look I go back to But he's just so
good out there beginning of fourth quarters, especially when Tatum
isn't on the floor, Derek just goes up another level.
We saw it in Toronto the other night. It's just
Derek makes good things happen. And when he's playing this
sort of way like good luck, I don't know how
you beat this.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
Team, absolutely, and I do think about it this time
of year, because we're post trade deadline now and this
is a guy that they picked up at the trade
deadline from San Antonio a couple of years ago.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
And everybody goes up. It seems like a nice piece.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
Nobody expected him to be this impactful years later.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
Brad Stevens might be in jail right now because that
was such a heist and able to trade and get
Derek White at that time of year, and he's only
gotten better and better and better, and look, there might
be even another level to get to. Everything's going Derek's way.
He's still got to get that All Star birth, which
got robbed of this year. Comes that mini slump, but
I have a feeling that All Star is coming sooner
than later.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
All Right, Well, Derek White has a lot.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
Of opportunities coming up to continue to show out and
continue to post those terrific stats. So hopefully we'll get
to continue to talk about him. But let's get into
our weekly predictions, because oh my gosh, it's not just
this week. The next couple of weeks at Taty Gartage
are going.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
To be unreal. And we're starting with the.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
Conversation about Jason Tatum always just coming up a little
bit short of triple doubles. Recently after he had one
last week, does he get another one this week?
Speaker 3 (20:34):
I gotta say yes, because the assist numbers have been
out of control. It's seventeen potential assists against the Knicks.
Probably should have got the triple double if guys were
knocking down shots. We saw it in Toronto. Nine first
half assist. That number is going to get there. The
rebounding has been there for most of the season, and
especially considering the way the Celtics have had to play
small at times, I can see that number going up.
I think Tatum absolutely gets a triple double. Maybe it's
(20:56):
not Jokic game, just because you know how much he
loves the triple double.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Agree.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
All right, Well, you said the name Jokic, and so
we got to talk about some of the guys who
are gonna be seeing the Celtics, and that includes Kid Cunningham, Mitchell,
and of course Nikola Jokic. Who are they most likely
to hold to under thirty points? Of those three stars?
Speaker 3 (21:14):
All right, here's my reasoning. I'm thinking through that. I'm
gonna talk this through Kid Cunningham. That's gonna be a
tough one. They've got their unrest. Jalen Brown was limping
off the court the other night in Toronto. I think
that's gonna be tough to keep him. Donovan Mitchell just
every time you play this dude, he seems to go off.
And I know, I do think the Celtics antenna is
gonna be up, but sometimes he just makes amazing things happen,
So I don't know, maybe it's a surprise. I'm gonna
(21:35):
go Jokic. I feel like he's still gonna have his impact.
He's still gonna get put up the big numbers, he's
gonna get the rebounds, the assist. But if you can
keep him just low enough to take advantage of that,
I think the Celtics find a way to not only
hold him under thirty, but find a way to win
that game.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
I'm going with Yogic too.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
Everybody knows that he's a walking triple double. But the
other two names on their Kate Cunningham and Donovan Mitchell,
I mean those are thirty point guys. Of course Jokic
is two. But you see what, for example, the Pacers
the Lakers were able to do with him keeping him
under twenty last week maybe you can follow some of
that blueprint if you're at the Celtics. But carrying on,
we have one more big point here because Boston now
(22:11):
has a six game streak of winning by thirteen or more.
Interesting because that's also that little Derek White number that
we just referenced to player spotlight. How many double digit
wins do they pull off this coming week?
Speaker 3 (22:23):
Like, I feel like all these games should be pretty
close because of the talent on the floor, but the
Celtics when they win, they tend to win by double digit.
So I'm going to keep it low though I'm going
one in here. You're going to find one way that
they go to. I think they might sneak and go
three and zero, but I do think that only one
of them will be a blowout win, and I'm not
sure which one I want to pick. But they've been
(22:44):
so good beggars campu choose.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
I agree.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
The talent that they're going to see over the next
couple of weeks is just a different level, which I
think is the perfect time for them. But they have
not had a double digit point differential in either direction
against Calves and they haven't seen Yokic with den so
there's a lot of unknowns here. Detroit is a team
that's up and coming as well, especially after who they
were last year. So I would go with one maybe
(23:09):
one double dishitwe but that's not.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
Too don't speak to it. I still think they can
be super successful. They just got to go out there.
All that matters is the W and sometimes winning those
close games and getting ready for the postseason and how
difficult those games are going to be not the worst
thing at all.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
And let me just say as we close out here
on Celtics Weekly, guys, don't be afraid to break out
the headbands.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
If you need a.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
Little extra something, don't be afraid to break out the
head bands. Don't be afraid to weigh in because we
love hearing from you, our viewers, and the comments all
over social media for social Snapchat, and we'll catch you
on Celtics Weekly next Wednesday.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
I'd be on the headbands.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
It looks so good.
Coming up on this edition of Celtics Weekly, We've got
all the top plays from another winning week, go behind
the scenes with Celtics City, and hear how Derek White
rediscovered his joy.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
All that and more.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
Now Welcome into Celtics Weekly. This is where we catch
you up with everything related to the world champion Celtics.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
It's a head band.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Whoa, it's a head band, show Megan A o'lini with
NBC Sports Boston's Chris Forresberth. Chris is a vibe. This
was my idea, but I feel like he's really stealing
the spotlight right now.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
I appreciate that, but we have the same rules as
Jason Tatum and Derek White. When MAKES said we're going
to do headband, I said, no, no, no option. I
must do it. And now I'm kind of obsessed with
the look and so I'm just gonna rock it for
like the foreseeable future. This the mustache, everything ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
People don't know that that's this is how your trademark
little piece of flair on your suit started. So now
we're going to keep adding accessories and I love it
for you. Headbands are no headbands. It was a huge
week for the Celtics. So let's get right into our
highlights with plays of the week. And where do we
start but number ten with the new guy, Tory Craig
(01:24):
in Billy, Tory Craig has this huge block on Daniel Roddy.
Watch the replay of this because you can see Roddy
just thinks that he has to think about Sam Hauser.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
But there Pastory type take.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Down block guy. What a way to make an impression.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Number nine, d you wipe this quick peraps four zingers
from the inbound pass.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
How do you lose the seven foot three guy? But
here he comes off the.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Grin and oh oh no, no no.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
I didn't know if you're actually going to do that,
and I love you, Corey. Let's go to number eight
so I can regain my composure. Tory Craig again on
this one loses the all. But it's okay. Don't panic
because on the other side you got Derek White pick
in his pocket and Jason Patum finds Craig.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
For the dunk.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
I want you to seek the crack of the common
theme here. So guy the headband with the steel, guy
with the headband with the outlet pass, and guy with
the headband dunk in the basta. That's how you messed
my head band officials.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Number seven, you got Jalen Brown.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
He's getting caught up here in the sixers, but he's
got eyes in the back of his head for Christops Porzingis.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
Look, you can play defense for twenty three seconds and
christof Pusinga is still going to burn you with the
quick release. Krishan YABUCHELLI never had a chances to back.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
And if you're on the other side, the worst part
is the smiles that he gives everyone after he sinks
this shot.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Look at that.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
That's work.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Number six Hay and Fritch are going full seat slams
on the brakes, hits A three. Watch the ankles breaking
on this replay.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
So I'm not sure that Peyton Fritcher made it for
customs last night. I'm not sure you can take those
ankles over the border. The boy did he take your VA?
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Number five starts with a Porzingis block on Chat, and
you got Jason Tatum finding Drew Holiday with a perfect outlet.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
So look, I don't know if Tatum borrowed Drew Holiday
Dennis because you we've had a little good vision down
the court. Bobbed it out there, perfect pass right in stride.
That's get a layout.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Number four.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
Tatum and Cornett the two man game breaking the Sixers defense.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
It's a glitch. It's a glitch in the matrix.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
So this is a new stock to the Malone. Not
sure if you're aware, but Jason Tatum and Luke Cornette
pretty much an unstoppable duo in the NBA right now
and pretty much tied the Sixers into a pretzel, leading
to a Luke Cornett.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Layout number three. Let's get more Luke Cornett.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Okay, while we have the time.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Hay and Pritchard is maneuvering through some traffic signs.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Cornet for thee.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
I love the vision here from Peyton Frichard, always on
the moves, get to the defense to collapse, and then
what you're gonna do? Boom, Luke rode it down.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Number two.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
I'm just gonna let you know we're cheating here a
little bit because it's really too high alight.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
It's Derek White with.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
The block party on Grady Dick and Peyton Pritchard's feeling
the deal on the other side in both of these plays.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
But really it's all about the blocks from Derek.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Wlay and Derek it's the best shot blocking guard in
the NBA.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
But I just love he loved meeting.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
A person at the rim and just denying them to
their faith and even better, keeps the ball in possession
for the Celtics go the other way and Peyton making.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Them Page White number one. A guy.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
We're going to talk about a lot of the show
because we already haven't. Derek Whaite comes up with the
rebound to Jason Tatum who finds Jalin Brown and you
just love that Jay and Jay chemistry.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
Right now, you're three superstars from the Celticks getting involved
in this play. Look at Derek chasing it down, make
sure he doesn't get hit in the face. And when
the Jays connect like this, who there is nothing sweeter.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Those are your top plays. Let's go now to Inside Access.
The Celtis and HBO.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Have a docu series debuting on March third, called Celtics City.
It explores in depth the eighteen time world champion Boss Celtics.
From executive producers Bill Simmons and Connor Schell. The nine
part docu series debuts at nine pm on HBO and
will be available to stream on Max, with new episodes
debuting weekly through April twenty eight, Celtic City chronicles the
(05:16):
remarkable saga of the Boston Celtics, the NBA's winningest and
most storied franchise, from its founding as one of the
league's original teams all the way to its triumphant twenty
twenty four championship. Along the way, delving into the fierce rivalries,
defining moments in societal forces that have shaped the organizations
(05:37):
enduring legacy. Featuring never before seen archival footage and over
eighty interviews with past and present Boston Celtics legends, from
Bob Coosey and Larry Bird to Jason Tatum and Jalen Brown,
the series captures the scope of the team's influence, leaving
together the personalities, battles, tragedies, and triumphs that have defied
(06:00):
I'm the franchise across more than seven decades of American history.
And who better to join us to talk about this
amazing docu series pre Mary than Jeff Twist, vice president
of Media Services with the Boston Celtics.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
Jeff and the unofficial Celtics historian, can we can Are
you fair?
Speaker 2 (06:19):
With?
Speaker 3 (06:19):
Are you okay? With that title and we had that
a very hard there we go.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Well, thank you for joining us to talk about this
because it's so exciting I think for me, aside from
the eighty different interviews, which I can't wait to hear,
I wish I could go through all the raw footage
of what those interviews are like, but to hear what's
selected for the docu.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Series, the archival footage.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Yes, what was it like to go through the archival
footage and find this never before seen video to show
to Celtics fans of the last seven decades.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
Thank you for being having me on and being a
part of the show here today. But it was it
was really surreal because not the same and I've worked
here forty plus years for the Celtic I've seen everything,
but I haven't because there's so much untapped and so
much unique footage. It was like, Wow, you see yourself,
You pinch yourself. I never knew this existed. And one
(07:15):
one I do have to share with you real quickly,
not to spoil the surprise, but Nancy and Randy auerback
Coach Hourback's daughters, they had these old tapes of Coach
from the State Department trip across behind the iron curtain,
Oh my god, and family videos like them at the
beach or a summerhouse.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
It's forty plus years. Number, fifty plus years now, like
how much is it to put to get this all
on film and the show? Like the legacy and what
people haven't seen about this organization?
Speaker 4 (07:42):
Right, It was a task to try to break it
down into the nine parts that you will see. And
it kind of not necessarily goes by error or decade,
but it does. It has to start from day one
in forty six when the team is built. And thank
thank Heaven's Bob Coosey is still with us and very
sharp to recall a lot of memories and dates because
he would say a date on film on the interview
(08:04):
and I go back and look it up, not to
check his facts. Now he's right, he's spot on. How
do you remember that from fifty sixty seven years ago?
But he does. And we're very fortunate have Bob Whiles,
Tom sat Sanders. You know, two real people I admire
and really are icons in our business.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
I bet you think about this a lot. But as
you're going through all this archival footage and thinking about
the different areas of Championship basketball in Boston. Are there
any enduring themes that you find when you're going back
to the fifties, the sixties, the eighties into where we
are now with this iteration of Boston basketball tightness.
Speaker 4 (08:42):
I don't know if you want to call it brotherhood, teamwork, bonding, unity.
There's a word there that you can see in each
Celtic and it's Celtic's family and it's pride, and those
do words come through. But they've done a job together
from day one, which training camp starts. But when they
coozy or whoever throws the ball up and they're hugging
(09:03):
their son or whatever each year, it's that bonding. Is
that it's that glue that kind of keeps all of
them together and the desire not only to be the
best in the world or the NBA, but to be
the best amongst their peers and amongst themselves.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Jeff Toys, thank you so much for teeing the time
to sit down and talk with us about this is
such a tremendous project, So congratulations on it and again.
Celtic City debuts March third on HBO runs through the
end of April, so you want to catch every one
of those nine episodes.
Speaker 5 (09:38):
The twenty twenty four pops at Celtics are one of
the greatest teams in the NBA and his time we did.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
It is eighteen.
Speaker 5 (09:50):
I'll come to work out of respect for what people
have laid here before. The Red Arbeck used to say
it best.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Celtic pride, the greatest of the game. The first game
in Boston, player walks up to me, Sit, don't look
company all these retired numbers, championship banners.
Speaker 6 (10:10):
I just thought this was normal, and then you go
to other arenas you quickly realize that's not the same.
Speaker 5 (10:17):
They look at that little lepricn and sometimes I just
want to spit in his face.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
The Boston Celtics bring out the worst and everybody else.
We've got to be lay here in the car.
Speaker 4 (10:32):
That was the classic, just a classic.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
Larry Bird carried the city on his back and for
a lot of people he was going to be the
savior one way or the other.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Thirty teams in the league, but how many got things
that last forever.
Speaker 5 (10:46):
The Boston Celtics have to be central to the city
of Boston and the players who played for the Celtics
captive field like Celtics.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
In Boston's a rough place.
Speaker 6 (10:55):
The bottom line is, isn't all ice cream and cherries?
Speaker 4 (10:57):
You know?
Speaker 5 (10:59):
Yeah, let's tell the whole story. Have you teen that
hung a banner that's going through something.
Speaker 4 (11:09):
This letter was sent to the garden and it was
a threat against Bill's life and the kids.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Went biased with this world in front of him gone.
Speaker 4 (11:18):
Reggie Lewis and he said his career may be over.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
He's thinking not again. Hole Peers gets stabbed multiple times,
almost dies.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
A lot of things happening outside they're in it that
are difficult.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
But the time I spent in the locker room on
the floor of my teammates.
Speaker 4 (11:34):
Was like Heaven.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
Larry Bird's not walking through that door, fans, Kevin Mchal's
not walking through that door, and Robert Parrish is not
walking through that door.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
This kind of bonding duplicate your greatest thing you could
accomplish his friendship.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
Oh thank you, Boston, I love you.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
They all know each other's story because it's all part
of their story.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
The Celtics are a way of life, life and not
just to take the team there the Celtics.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Let's go now to social snapshot. We're over at the
Big Born with Melissa Valdez, our host and special correspondent.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Melissa, you've been.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
All over the web, the talking to fans, trying to
collects some good stuff.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
What do you have for us in sad starts talking.
Speaker 6 (12:29):
It's a great time.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
Let's check it out.
Speaker 6 (12:31):
Social snapshot time. First post. Alhofer is an official Hall
of Fame, are you guys? This was a post from
his high school in Michigan, the Grand Ledge High School.
Congrats to the class of twenty twenty four g LHS
Athletic Hall of Fame inductee Alhrford. His jersey was officially
retired tonight. He's joined by his family there accepting his
(12:54):
jersey being raised. There's a banner here that talks about
the NBA World Champion. He's always going to be a legend.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
Our eyes.
Speaker 6 (13:00):
Congratulations to Al Horford and something to also know. He's
the second Celtics player in two weeks that has been
who jersey has been retired. We know that De White
recently in Colorado, so congrats to them. And I also
want to point out Jason Tatum giving him some props
and some fire emojis out.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
I love this because it's only a matter of time
before Al Horford's number is in the Basketball Hall of Tame.
So go for the high school to get on this
and get this up there. I think I read it
was the first time they've retired in Jersey since twenty ten,
So big moment for glad they found a break.
Speaker 4 (13:32):
In the schedule.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
And remember they're playing the Pistons tonight, so maybe some
Michigan love. A little Michigan feels some good Vidge for us.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
I love it, and I also love the dedication to
the number, yes' forty two going all the way back
to high school.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
What else have you got?
Speaker 1 (13:45):
All right?
Speaker 6 (13:46):
Next up from Celtic's GRD says the anomaly is not
officially listed on Jason Tatum's basketball reference page as a nickname.
And we know he has plenty of nicknames, but he's
a versatile, skilled player. He has a unique name, so
it feels fitting, you know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (14:02):
How are we feeling about this?
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Mag I don't like it. It's just it's not It's
not the kind of.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Word that, at least I say in everyday conversation, So
it's a mouthful, and a nickname is supposed to be easier.
It's supposed to have snapped jumped right off the tongue
instead of saying Jason Tatum, the eno does not roll
off the tongue.
Speaker 6 (14:21):
Well, you can always know him Jay or Taco J.
You know, big dude, plenty of options.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
The one that should have stuck was that when Lebron
said he was a problem, he could have been the
problem and the truth and the problem. I will continue
to scream Taco J is fine, but Jason Tatum is
a problem.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
T Shir is in a good way.
Speaker 6 (14:39):
Last one is from Abostonian to see we love her post.
They're always so much fun. This looks like a Renaissance painting.
And you got Tory Craig and look Cortnett. They have
been turned into a work of art.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
Check this out. Look at the dub by the basketball
We missus. I like the bird over there. This is
a trend on social media, on Twitter in particular. I
know there's an account that art as sports. Sports is
art and.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
It does look like because you see the grace that
the guys play with like, it does look like something
that would be on the ceiling the Steine Chapel.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
Can we just be honest that anything involving Luke Cornett.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
Looks like a work of absolutely yah.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
In a museum, So it's it's not surprising that you
just like throw a little filter on there and Luke
looks awesome, so grateful.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
Absolutely all right, Well, thank you, Melissa, don't go anywhere,
because on the other side, who else could we talk
about this week? But Derek White, We're going to hear
from him.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
And how he found his joy playing basketball again. Welcome back.
(16:07):
We're going out to small bites.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
It's a snack size segment that packs the punch of
a main course. And last week I practice, Derek White
talked to us about how he felt that he needed
to find his joy playing basketball again.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Well, coach Joe Mizzula, he spoke.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
On that right after the tremendous Nix win that the
Celtics had, and here's how he weighed in.
Speaker 5 (16:31):
Derek White was talking about how he was kind of
lacking joy a little bit during that tougher stretch and
that he's been able to kind of rediscover that.
Speaker 4 (16:37):
Do you see like a change in his demeanor and just.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
Like how how is that? How does that translate to
the court and then kind of to the best.
Speaker 5 (16:42):
Yeah, just playing with a freedom right. I think as
you as you become a better player, which he's done
since he's gotten here, and with the success that he's had,
the expectations rise. And when the expectations rise, it's easy
for the joy to be, you know, robbed from uh
And that's just kind of the natural ebbs and flows
of her career. And I think there are moments where
you have to fight for that. And so when he's
at his best, he plays care free, he makes big
(17:05):
shots like he did tonight, and then he just defends
at a super high level and you know, but you
have to go through those. I'm glad he went through
it. It was important for his growth. It was important for
us to see him struggle because it shows how much
we need him, and it was important for him to
fight for that confidence because you know, he's one of
the best point guards in the league, and when he
plays like that, we're a different team.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
I love that perspective from Joe Mizzoula because it goes
back to things that I think anyone who's played sports
have heard since they were in early high school, which
is just just go out and play, play loose, play
care free, and it actually can be a real process
that you have to go through to get there, and
so to hear Derek White be able to recognize that
(17:45):
and then rediscover that and play at the level that
he's playing at now, it's just a It's a testament
to who he is and who he continues to grow
into as an NBA player.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
What's crazy to me is I can't even imagine a
world where Derek White isn't happy right, like he just
enjoyed personified out there, is just normally smiling, having fun,
mixing it up with Tatum, and yet we get it
right like he's struggling that wears on you, and he
was in as long of a slump as we've seen
in his time with the Celtics. But as Derek goes,
so goes to the Celtics. I don't think it's any
coincidence that as Derek refound that joy, as he's gotten
(18:18):
back to being super impactful on the court, Celtics launch
into this stretch where they've ripped off ten wins in
eleven games, and they just got to find a way
make sure the most important thing moving forward, make sure
Derek keeps his joy absolutely so that there will be
joy in June with one of those.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
Absolutely, Hey, what a perfect time then to turn to
player spotlight and shine our spotlight on Derek White because
of whom he's been since he rediscovered that joy. It's
bringing all of us a lot of joy, to be honest,
because in February, White shooting is almost at forty seven percent.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
That's ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
He has thirteen or more points in twelve straight games,
and he's averaging sixteen point three points per game.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Which is a career high. So yeah, i'd be that too.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
I don't know if they've had to get him bigger
shorts because every time he's checking, there's threes in his pockets,
like and they're just overflowing.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
So got to let those cargo shorts go in bring.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
Back the nineties look like just overflowing with three pointers
like look I go back to But he's just so
good out there beginning of fourth quarters, especially when Tatum
isn't on the floor, Derek just goes up another level.
We saw it in Toronto the other night. It's just
Derek makes good things happen. And when he's playing this
sort of way like good luck, I don't know how
you beat this.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
Team, absolutely, and I do think about it this time
of year, because we're post trade deadline now and this
is a guy that they picked up at the trade
deadline from San Antonio a couple of years ago.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
And everybody goes up. It seems like a nice piece.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
Nobody expected him to be this impactful years later.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
Brad Stevens might be in jail right now because that
was such a heist and able to trade and get
Derek White at that time of year, and he's only
gotten better and better and better, and look, there might
be even another level to get to. Everything's going Derek's way.
He's still got to get that All Star birth, which
got robbed of this year. Comes that mini slump, but
I have a feeling that All Star is coming sooner
than later.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
All Right, Well, Derek White has a lot.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
Of opportunities coming up to continue to show out and
continue to post those terrific stats. So hopefully we'll get
to continue to talk about him. But let's get into
our weekly predictions, because oh my gosh, it's not just
this week. The next couple of weeks at Taty Gartage
are going.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
To be unreal. And we're starting with the.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
Conversation about Jason Tatum always just coming up a little
bit short of triple doubles. Recently after he had one
last week, does he get another one this week?
Speaker 3 (20:34):
I gotta say yes, because the assist numbers have been
out of control. It's seventeen potential assists against the Knicks.
Probably should have got the triple double if guys were
knocking down shots. We saw it in Toronto. Nine first
half assist. That number is going to get there. The
rebounding has been there for most of the season, and
especially considering the way the Celtics have had to play
small at times, I can see that number going up.
I think Tatum absolutely gets a triple double. Maybe it's
(20:56):
not Jokic game, just because you know how much he
loves the triple double.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Agree.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
All right, Well, you said the name Jokic, and so
we got to talk about some of the guys who
are gonna be seeing the Celtics, and that includes Kid Cunningham, Mitchell,
and of course Nikola Jokic. Who are they most likely
to hold to under thirty points? Of those three stars?
Speaker 3 (21:14):
All right, here's my reasoning. I'm thinking through that. I'm
gonna talk this through Kid Cunningham. That's gonna be a
tough one. They've got their unrest. Jalen Brown was limping
off the court the other night in Toronto. I think
that's gonna be tough to keep him. Donovan Mitchell just
every time you play this dude, he seems to go off.
And I know, I do think the Celtics antenna is
gonna be up, but sometimes he just makes amazing things happen,
So I don't know, maybe it's a surprise. I'm gonna
(21:35):
go Jokic. I feel like he's still gonna have his impact.
He's still gonna get put up the big numbers, he's
gonna get the rebounds, the assist. But if you can
keep him just low enough to take advantage of that,
I think the Celtics find a way to not only
hold him under thirty, but find a way to win
that game.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
I'm going with Yogic too.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
Everybody knows that he's a walking triple double. But the
other two names on their Kate Cunningham and Donovan Mitchell,
I mean those are thirty point guys. Of course Jokic
is two. But you see what, for example, the Pacers
the Lakers were able to do with him keeping him
under twenty last week maybe you can follow some of
that blueprint if you're at the Celtics. But carrying on,
we have one more big point here because Boston now
(22:11):
has a six game streak of winning by thirteen or more.
Interesting because that's also that little Derek White number that
we just referenced to player spotlight. How many double digit
wins do they pull off this coming week?
Speaker 3 (22:23):
Like, I feel like all these games should be pretty
close because of the talent on the floor, but the
Celtics when they win, they tend to win by double digit.
So I'm going to keep it low though I'm going
one in here. You're going to find one way that
they go to. I think they might sneak and go
three and zero, but I do think that only one
of them will be a blowout win, and I'm not
sure which one I want to pick. But they've been
(22:44):
so good beggars campu choose.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
I agree.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
The talent that they're going to see over the next
couple of weeks is just a different level, which I
think is the perfect time for them. But they have
not had a double digit point differential in either direction
against Calves and they haven't seen Yokic with den so
there's a lot of unknowns here. Detroit is a team
that's up and coming as well, especially after who they
were last year. So I would go with one maybe
(23:09):
one double dishitwe but that's not.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
Too don't speak to it. I still think they can
be super successful. They just got to go out there.
All that matters is the W and sometimes winning those
close games and getting ready for the postseason and how
difficult those games are going to be not the worst
thing at all.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
And let me just say as we close out here
on Celtics Weekly, guys, don't be afraid to break out
the headbands.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
If you need a.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
Little extra something, don't be afraid to break out the
head bands. Don't be afraid to weigh in because we
love hearing from you, our viewers, and the comments all
over social media for social Snapchat, and we'll catch you
on Celtics Weekly next Wednesday.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
I'd be on the headbands.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
It looks so good.
