00:00Right off the bat this morning here is David. Hello, David.
00:04Hi. Good morning, guys. So, one of the things about the Celtics that's impressive,
00:10and I was very happy with the game last night, is that you have a group of guys.
00:14They get to play once in a while, a few minutes here or there, but they don't get the shine.
00:18They don't get the core time that they need to be able to show what they're able to do.
00:24And this is talking about stepping up to the plate. You know, you have key players that are out.
00:28And those are the starters. They play all the time. So, you know, it is nice to see that you have that.
00:34And I think sometimes it gets overlooked by fans because we're so focused on the main players
00:40that we overlook that these guys are NBA players for a reason.
00:44They didn't make it there just because they needed a fill-in. They can play. They just need the time.
00:49Well, and I think the biggest thing about this, and like people always say, Celtics, Celtics,
00:53I think what this shows, and they've both been consistent all year long, P. Pritch and Derek White,
00:58when it comes to being able to step up and being, you know, sometimes the leading scorer on the team.
01:04Jalen Brown played last night. At the beginning, he didn't really have a great night.
01:08They were able to pick it up, and I think that's what's going to make, and that's why I say
01:12I can't see anybody beating the Celtics in a seven-game series because even if Tatum has an off night,
01:18you still have guys like a guy like P. Pritch. Think about how far down the scoring, like, kind of...
01:27Ladder? Tree? Is it a scoring tree?
01:30I would say, you know... Is it a rope ladder?
01:35Like chain of command or something like that, you know? Think about how far down he is.
01:40And so when you look at this Celtics team, if your superstars are having an off night,
01:45you have so many guys that can pick up the slack like that, and I don't think...
01:50Not that I don't think... I don't know... There's not another team out there that can do that,
01:54that you're going to play against.
01:56Yeah. I mean, Peyton Pritchard is a legit candidate when it comes to the six-man award.
02:01I mean, I think it's him.
02:02You think it's him?
02:03Yeah, I mean, I think he's... Like, if you look statistically, I think his numbers are better than everybody in the league,
02:08and, you know, he's on, obviously...
02:10He's a minus 250 favorite on the sportsbook.
02:12Yeah, so I don't think there's even anybody close.
