It's the only way to get every single one of these and get it on your audio feeds or on YouTube or wherever you decide to consume your podcast. If you're new to the show, I'm John Corrales. Nice to meet you. I cover the Celtics for Sports Illustrated's Celtics on si. I've been doing this job version of it for about 20 years. I've been doing this podcast for 10. So I just love talking about the Boston Celtics. And today I'm talking about a win over the Phoenix Suns, which they let me hit this button. There we go. They won it by 16. They were up by 22 at 28, 28 at one point and just a a really nice kind without Jalen Brown. A nice win. Later on I'll get to that signature play that I just mentioned, which was just a fantastic play. But there's one particular element that I'll get to later that just really makes that the maybe the Signature play for the Celtics this year. I'll get into Derrick White and Sam Houser. I gotta start, though, with winning the margins, doing it with rebounding, doing with the, with defense. The Celtics got down by 11 at one point. And you know, early on I thought the Celtics came out and I almost tweeted this out, but I, I didn't want to. I didn't want. It didn't sound right. But what I wanted to say was it was the most dominant 5 point deficit I've ever seen. Or something along those lines where the Celtics were losing. But, man, they looked good. I thought they looked good. And a lot of people were saying, I was listening to Scales and some other people, they're like, oh, the Celtics weren't playing well in the first quarter. I disagree. The Celtics didn't shoot well in the first quarter. They shot, was it 9 of 28, 32%, 3 of 15 from 3 in the first quarter. And I thought they were playing actually pretty well because they had nine offensive rebounds. And when you miss a bunch of shots, those rebounds are available. And they went and they got them. They actually didn't defend all that poorly. It's just The Suns hit 4 of 9 from 3. They were 10 of 21 overall. The Celtics did the things they were supposed to do. They had more offensive rebounds. They had seven more shots at that point. It took six more three pointers. They, they had the margins in their favor. They turned the Suns over twice. They. All of those things. Like, I looked at that first quarter and I said, all they need to do is keep playing like this. Just keep playing like this. And once the shots start to fall, they don't even have to fall. They didn't have to go and, and hit like a million shots. They didn't have to go and shoot 60. They just needed to start hitting something, right. They were shooting 3 of 15. They were shooting 32 overall. It just needed to hit something. Once they did, I was, I, I knew it. And I, I did tweet out once they hit some shots, the way they're playing, they could be up double digits in a hurry. And, and they were. If you're watching me, I've got this, I got this headset that I'm using in the cords loose on me and it just keeps flipping around. So if you're listening, sorry. I'm adjusting things. I'm working with a new headset, I'm working with a new mic and just, you know, working through some of the kinks here on the fly. And then in the second quarter, what ended up happening was Derrick White starts to get going and the shots do start to fall. And the problem in the first quarter was the Suns had four offensive rebounds and they cashed in all four. So the Celtics gave up 26 points. Their first shot. Defense was good. They were giving up the offensive rebounds. They weren't they just a little too loose? No Jalen Brown. So maybe that kind of hurt. And it just. Not only were they giving up a couple of offensive, well, four offensive rebounds. The Suns were four of four. The Celtics had nine offensive rebounds. They were two of nine shooting. So they, they weren't, they weren't cashing in on their attempts, but the Suns were. And so all of a sudden the Celtics were down by five in that, in that first quarter. In the second quarter, they started to box out only one offensive rebound for Phoenix in that second quarter. Then the shots started to fall for Boston. They slide four more offensive rebounds and they got 22 shots in the second quarter compared to Phoenix's 17. Phoenix's shooting started to level off. Boston. 3 of 5 for Derrick White, 5 of 7 overall. 3 of 5 from 3 for Derrick White. He had a 13 point quarter. Nemi had an 8 point quarter plus a couple of offensive rebounds. Now the Celtics, all of a sudden, they're starting to put things together. They have seven second chance points. They're converting on their second chances. Phoenix, just one offensive rebound. Now they converted on that too. So by halftime they were 5 of 5 on second chances. But it didn't hurt them in the second quarter because it was only one put back. So now all of a sudden the Celtics went from down 11 to up 4 at halftime. And I'm feeling good. I felt good about this third quarter. The whole thing just fell apart for Phoenix. The Celtics went on a huge, huge run. They were down 40 to 31 at one point in the second quarter. They went on a 5211 run, 50 to 11 run. And they ultimately went up in the third quarter by 28 points. Then Sam Houser, that's Sam Houser's quarter, three of seven from three. He had 13 in the third quarter. He had 13. Phoenix had 11 in the third quarter. So Sam Houser alone outscored Phoenix by two. Then you throw in everybody else and it was 30 to 11 in the third quarter. That's those middle quarters. The middle of the second quarter when the Celtics started to turn things around and decided to clear away rebounds, clear away, you know, end the defensive stops and get out and get good looks. That's where everything kind of turned for the Celtics. So the defense, I thought the defense was good throughout. They just once they started boxing out, they didn't give up a ton. Like third quarter was only one offensive rebound for Phoenix. They had a few in the fourth quarter. They made a run. They had a 14, 0 run in the beginning of the fourth quarter. Nice answer for the Celtics there. You know, you know, the team, the, the team that's down by a lot, they're generally going to have one last desperation, you know, last gasp. And Phoenix did. And the Celtics just turned right around and answered it and went right back up by 22 at one point. And then whatever it settled at, where it settled at final, final score was, you know, a 16 point margin. But the rebounding, we talked about it yesterday in the podcast, you can have all the great defense that you want. If you're not finishing off with a rebound, you're not going to get out. You're not completing the defensive possession. The Celtics have done a great job recently. They're the number one defensive rebounding team in the NBA in February and they were, they were able to kind of get back to that in this one. Individually, I thought there were a few great performances. Derrick White, Sam Houser, obviously, Namish K, all a, a plus performances. We'll get to those guys when I come back.

It's all@lockdownceltics.supercast.com lockdownceltics.supercast.Com I'll put that link in the show notes for you as well. By the way, I want to apologize for people. We're having problems on our Spotify feed. So if you're normally a Spotify listener and you're like, I haven't seen a podcast in a while and you've come here to ask the question or wonder aloud. They're we're having a. It's, it's everywhere else right now. Spotify's had an issue. So maybe it's come up and you're, you're listening and you missed a couple. I'm sorry about that. It's out of our control. It's. It's a glitch that's happening with Spotify. So I'm sorry about that. So okay, individually, I thought there were a couple of really nice performances here. The we talk about rebounding and defense. That starts with starts with Namishkada who was just really good. Again, the defense was off the charts. A couple of block shots, but it feels like he altered a few more. He had one where he just comes flying in out of nowhere to block a shot he just changes things so much for them defensively and then offensively he was 5 of 10. I do think he needs to finish a couple of those shots. So obviously room for improvement, but also the passing, he had three assists. They're really starting to run plays for him where they get him at the top. They're cutting. It's almost like they're coming up to get the ball. Like Sam Houser came up like he was going to come and get the ball and then boom, he cuts back door and Nene hits him with that pass from the top. It was beautiful pass. He just continues to get just better and better and better, you know, again, you know, Nene is a guy that, you know, I still obviously think he has, you know, he's not a superstar player or anything like that, but he's, he just continues to get better as, like each game, like game to game, week to week, month to month, he's just adding little bits to his game. And the, the thing that I really am most impressed with is the things that I have said like, okay, he needs to work on this. Then he does it. You're like, oh, okay, he's working on it. He's doing it. So last season it was keep the ball, you know, keep the ball high when you catch it. Don't, don't bring it down to your knees to try to jump up and dunk everything. Just. He's not an explosive leaper. He can gather and jump. Like when he comes in flying for the, the, the block shots, he's gathering and doing all that stuff and that gets him to explode upwards. But he's not a quick leaper, right? He's not going to just catch it and like, like an Aaron Gordon going to catch it, stay up on his toes, jump right back up and dunk it. Like, that's not neemi. So for him to jump, he's got, he has to gather. So keep the ball high. I said this last year and he, by, by the end of last year he started doing it. Haven't seen it once this year. You know what I mean? So that, that's a big improvement. And then this year I've asked him, I was like, hey, you know, we, we need to see you operate better on the baseline. We need to see you in the dunker spot and, and maneuver in the dunker spot, figure out how to finish in the, in that spot when you get it down low, how to use your body and get position and all that. He just keeps doing it. And so I, listen, I, I believed what I believed about me. And you know, I, I feel like at the time I was correct in my assessment because we hadn't seen it yet. And as the season has gone on, he is proven to have fixed all of the things that I've been saying and he's become a really, really good player. So shout out to Nimiuskeda really has progressed incredibly well and we'll see what happens. You know him, I talk about him and Vuch and starting and combinations and stuff like that. I still think that there are certain combinations that I would. I want Neemi with. But you know, at this point, from what I've seen, you know, him and Vuch, like Vuchovic had a, you know, decent game here, nothing special. He also made a couple of nice passes. They also went to him in the post a bunch and not a bunch, but a few times. He, he can punish, punish mismatches, whatever that works out to be. I still think it'll end up being Vuchevic starting, but maybe it won't, maybe it won't and that'll also be okay. So we'll just leave it at that. So Cata was cater was really, really good. Derrick White A plus game. Nimish K to A plus. When I give my player grades on Celtics on Si, I gave them both A pluses. A couple of like a little struggle, a little bit of cold shooting for Derek out of the gate. But he, he was, you know, four of nine from three in the first half. He was three of five in the second quarter. 22 points, eight rebounds, eight assists, three blocks. If this was the NFL, you'd get two and a half blocks for Derrick White and two and a half for Namishkad because they, they got to one. I think they gave the third, that one to, to Derek. But either way, Derek's, you know, the shot making there. There's one three pointer that he made. It was a tough kind of fading away 1. And when that fell, I was like, okay, he's on. He's back. When he hits that kind of like fade away contested three, I knew right away that he was going to start hitting two, three in a row. So that was, that's great. Like Derek hitting shots and getting to a floater and all that stuff. That, that's great. I expect that to happen. I also have ex come to expect the, the, you know, the, the one, the one play. It was second quarter where he gets screened a little bit of an illegal screen. Okay. Gets over the top. I think it's Grayson Allen pulls up for a three. He comes around the corner. Derek comes around, you know, around the pick. It looks like he's out of the play. He's not. He blocks the shot. You're like, Derek is never out of the play. Wherever, whenever you're on the floor and Derrick White is around, you're on the perimeter. Just expect Derek to show up. He's going to be there, he's going to get in your face, he's going to do something, he's going to make a play. If he's not a first team all defense guy this year, then I, I don't know. Then just, I, I want to have a definitive statement. I don't know what the statement is. There, there's a finish to that sentence. If he's not first team, all NBA, then, and I don't know how to finish that sentence, but then something, then something, darn it, I'm gonna, I'm angry if he's not. Whatever, whatever. I don't know what I'll do, but he better be there. So Derek was, was great. Sam Houser solid again, you know, 16 points. He got hot in the third quarter. Make, you know, the great cut. He's just, you know. Again, best, best, most solid basketball season for Sam Houser. Baylor Scheireman. Gotta shout out Baylor Shireman a double double. He has three double doubles this season, all in February. Rebounding monster. He's. His defensive rebounding percentage this month is up around 21%. He's been great. He was working his butt off. He was defending, he was, he was doing everything except hitting shots. He was one of six overall from three. I'm starting to think, and again, this can change. I've said this, you know, I have this tendency to make these statements and then guys end up improving. So I'm just going to put it out there. I'll just say it this way. Maybe, maybe Baylor isn't a three point shooter. Maybe he's just not a three point shooter in the NBA. Now he's only in his second year and so I don't know where, where this will go, but I know he was a shooter. I know he sees himself as a shooter. He's not been one here in the NBA. In fact, let me just call up the overall stats for him because they're not great. Okay, 38 this year, that he's recovered nicely, I suppose. 31, 31.7 last year. So I don't know. I, I guess I've seen too many of these. One for six, you know, Kind of nights and the shooting is so sporadic. He either needs to find some consistency in how his shot looks or he needs to step in and just become a mid range guy. Regardless, he's done incredibly well as a defender, rebounder, all of that stuff. I never ever thought like. Let me just backtrack for a second. The Celtics started Derrick White, Ron Harper, Sam Houser and Baylor Shireman. If I had told you that was going to be a starting lineup for the Celtics this year, you'd think, oh, okay, so they're tanking gap year, right? That's. Something happened. What happened to Jalen? You know what, what's going on? Things. Things have gone wrong. If this is. You're starting Ron Harper Jr. Okay, you're starting Baylor Shireman. All right, well, let's see. Let's. Maybe. Maybe they're going after Boozer after all. Dancer or one of these guys. Maybe they're just. No, no. This is, this lineup started and blew out the Phoenix Suns. Baylor, you know, a big time plus, all of the starters, big time pluses. I'm super impressed with Baylor. He's been, he's been great rebounding, great defending. And so all of these guys. Ron Harper Jr. Made the play of the night. He. It looks like he might have hurt his hamstring. He didn't shoot well, but he was a plus 25 in this game. Let me finish up the individual performances and I'll get to that play, that signature play that Ron Harper and Baylor Shireman and Ugo Gonzalez. Those three dudes have the signature play of the season. Yeah, I think so. That's next. Today's show is brought to you by indeed. Workplace can be chaotic deadlines.

Jobs thank you for making Lockdown Celtics your first listen Every day go check out Lockdown NBA and Lockdown NBA game night. Normally I'd be on game night tonight, but because the Celtics played, I just submitted a quick minute and a half synopsis of the game. A lot of us do that and that's how you get in depth knowledge of how the night went. Listen to the show, listen to what all the local experts said and it's seven days a week. You'll get a full kind of update. You'll know everything that happened in the league. It's the only way to stay up to date. It's Locked on NBA Game Night. It's on the same feed as Locked on NBA, which covers the big stories in the afternoons. All right, just cleaning up the rest of the box score here before we get to the signature Play. Peyton Pritchard struggled 2 of 13:05. Normally he plays well with Jalen out. Just didn't and I thought he got decent shots. He was still a plus 11. He got six rebounds. He had four assists. But just a tough shooting night. Just it happens. Not a big deal. I really do think he generated decent looks, but he really did have to work hard to get the shot. Like he was really, really dribbling a lot. I don't know. I don't know what the overall dribble numbers were. I'm willing to bet he dribbled a little bit more in this game than than normal. He just had some trouble kind of getting to his spots. I think once he got there, the looks were clean. He might have been a little tired by the time he got to those spots. So just a tough one for for Peyton. Not a big deal. Like I said, Vuch was was decent. Jordan Walsh played 9 minutes and 20 seconds and was good in the 9 minutes and 20 seconds. Why only 9:20? I think it's because he was desperate for the Celtics to challenge a play and it was in the second quarter and the Celtics were making their run, but he fouled. I forget who it was. It might have been. Might have been Grayson Allen or I forget who. I forget who it was. But he, he touched the arm. It was a three shot foul and he was like adamant, adamant. I did not touch him. I did not touch him. I did not touch him. And then you cut to the bench and you see Matt Reynolds looking at his iPad and they're looking to see if he's going to challenge. And Jordan is adamant, I did not touch him. So Joe calls the timeout in challenges as Matt Reynolds is saying, I wouldn't do it. And as usual, Matt Reynolds is right. And I think because Joe lost the challenge, Jordan sat. He did not play in the second half. And that's. Listen, I think that's hilarious. I think it's incredible. If you're going to be that sure, you better be sure. And I think that's why he got benched in the second half, because I thought he was good in the first half. And then obviously in the third quarter, Sam Houser and the rest of the Celtics made it easy for Joe to stick to those guns. But I think that's what happened. All right, let's get to the play of the game, the absolute play of the season. One of the plays of the season. So third quarter, this is in the midst of the 50 to 11 run. Suns get out into transition. So right away, like, there are two reasons why this is a signature play of the season. Maybe the signature play of the season. Number one, it was an awesome play. Baylor Scheireman gets back. I forget who had the ball, but because Baylor got back, he forced the player to kind of adjust. And then in comes Ron Harper Jr. Just trucking in. Flies in looking like Dr. J in the 70s. Man had the hair flowing. He just had the big, just extension. He was kind of like bent backwards. He looked very Dr. J ish and just swatted it off the backboard. It goes out to Ugo Gonzalez as Hugo's getting the ball. Baylor's like, oh my God. And he has to slap five and celebrate with Ron Harper as Ugo's going the other way. Ugo takes it. Euro steps, finish ball. Bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce. Falls in. Timeout. What a play. What a moment. An awesome play. Awesome elements. It was fun. It was awesome. So that's a signature play. But it really is in a lot of ways the signature play. Because it was Baylor, because it was Ron Harper Jr. Because it was Ugo. Normally you'd say it's something to do with, you know, Jalen and Derek and those guys and there are plenty of options with those guys for sure. But the story of the Celtics season is how Baylor has been huge. Like Baylor starting has been incredibly important for the Celtics. Ron Harper Jr. Starts two way guy getting these opportunities, getting to participate in All Star Weekend. But coming in and, and just again this starting lineup. White, Harper, Keita Hauser, Sherman. And they're, they're playing this well together. Doesn't make sense. Doesn't make sense. But Baylor's great. This, you know, he's playing great. Neemi is playing off the charts. Harper stepping in. Hugo Gonzalez, no one when he got drafted. People are like, huh, who Hugo? Okay, we got a Hugo now. Well, no, it's Hugo, it's Ugo. We're going to respect the name because he plays like a pro and he, you know, has his ups and downs for sure as a rookie. But that, that those three guys, Baylor, Harper and Ugo were the guys that pulled this off. To me that makes this so indicative of what this season is. I have to make that the signature play because it just fits, it fits what this season has been. Yes, Jalen is playing at a level where people are saying he should be much higher in the MVP conversation and he should be an all first team, all NBA guy. That's absolutely true. And Derrick White is playing. He's still a plus minus monster and that's true. And Joe Missoula's coaching. All of that stuff is true. But none of this gets this far this good without all of these other guys. And they represent the Luca Garzas who's you know, not playing as much anymore but had a stretch of wow, he's the most important player they've got here. He rep. They. Those three guys represent the Jordan, Walsh, the, you know, all the guys that, you know, the Josh Minot's who came in and now he's gone but had an opportunity to win the Celtics a few games. So all of those guys are the story of the season because they're all contributing in some way somehow. So to do that, to have that play was spectacular and perfect, perfectly captures everything. Now look, the Celtics still have, they're 38 and 19. The 4020 rule is still in effect. If you don't know what 4020 is, go look it up. But basically it's championship teams win 40 games before they lose 20. And that's true except for like five exceptions. So it doesn't have to happen. But and it doesn't get because there's a lot of teams that get to 40 before 20. But if you're not a 4020 team, chances are you're not really a contender. The Celtics have two more games to go. The Denver Nuggets on the third game in four nights and on a back to back. But the way the Celtics play, the way the Celtics are, I mean I'm sitting there going like, well that's going to be a loss. You're in Denver, you're ending a road trip in altitude against against Jokic and those guys. That's a loss. But I can't assume anything with this team. They might win by 30. You know, for all I know they might win by 30. JLo might go off for 50 points and dominate and they could win. You know, they Denver has a bad night and Celtics win and you just got to go home and beat Brooklyn for 4020.
