Celtics and Bucks pretty close for the first half.
Celtics run away with it in the second half, 1, 19 108 on Monday night and D and I felt like watching Celtics Bucks tonight, the disparity and depth of talent you have on the Boston side, Peyton Pritchard just going off.
He's one of the best backup point guards in the NBA.
Luke Cornett offering 10 solid minutes as one of the better backup centers in the NBA.
First of all, I have a project for Tom Haberstroh.
Uh, can he track Peyton Pritchard's like end of quarter shots?
I feel like he's shooting like two, shooting 99% or something like that.
It's out of control.
He's again tonight, greatest end of quarter for, I don't know, the, the stats off the top of my head, but I know some Celtics beat writers have tracked it before or posted.
I'll see if I can find it, but it's ridiculous numbers.
And obviously he had the moment in the finals too that everybody's always gonna remember.
But, yeah, Peyton Pritchard that do this.
I mean, he, he's a great backup point guard man.
I, I hate the Celtics.
It's so annoying.
Peyton Pritchard.
He just finished up his rookie contract, but he was a contributor for four straight years in.
So doing this.
How you, I mean, you get Cornett Sam Hauser who didn't play on Monday night, that's like up and down the line.
They've, they've nailed it with their young guys off the bench.
It is so annoying that brand Stevens turned out as good as an executive.
It's unbelievable me off so much and by the way, Jordan Walsh could end up really good as well.
So they have a lot of guys, Kevin Celtics back.
I, I love how they hate you when you're out here defending them, the fans hate you.
And I'm just, I'm honest, I'm honest, I was wrong about the Celtics last year.
I was wrong, but at least I'm always honest about how I feel about the team.
So.
