I've been covering this team for about 20 years now and I've been doing this podcast for 10. I've written a couple of books about the team as well. Later on, we'll get to the potential for a big run ahead and why it's so important for them to take advantage of this. Now I'll get to the Missoula ball. Vindication coming up in a little bit. First, let's just get right to it. Let's get right to what happened in this game. For a second there I thought it was. Here we go again. Another just weird game where the worst three point shooting team in the league is going to go out there and kill the Celtics. They 6 of 6 to start the game. 7 of 12 in the first quarter. At least they didn't wait until the third quarter to start getting cold. They still ended up shooting 41% from the field, 18 from the 3, 18 for 44, which is good. But they were shooting 100% for a short time. But the second quarter was where things changed. So you get through the first quarter. The Celtics did a good job hanging in there. There was a good stretch early for Nami Escada who that. That was his kind of like best stretch of the game. They just had to hang around. They put up 28 points which is fine. They gave up 39, which is not. But just had to get through that hot shooting. Then in the second quarter things started to pick up. Not only was it from 3 where the Celtics shot 6 of 12, but it was also from 2. The second quarter was mostly to me about the mid range shots. You had Jason. I mean, I'm sorry, Jason. Jalen Brown and Derek White. Peyton Pritchard. Wow. It was Jalen Brown and Peyton Pritchard who did the damage in the second quarter where the Celtics really kind of poured it on from mid range. They were six of nine in the paint. Non restricted area. That's where Pritchard lived. He was 3 of 4 from there. They were 3 of 3 from the long 2 mid range. That was. That was a little bit of both of these guys. It's really fun to see the Celtics kind of get these shots from anywhere on the floor. The. The Pritchard non, non restricted paint shots. The. It's becoming like a signature where he. It's a drive. They. Because he's so good at finishing at the rim. It's a drive. They try to cut him off, he stops. The defender keeps going and then he turns around and he hits a little just turnaround jump shot. He's almost always wide open. It's a very easy shot to make and he makes it at a 65% clip. That's better than Nicola Jokic. That's better than Shay Gilgis Alexander. He's one of the best in the league at finishing in that spot. Outside of the restricted area in that spot between the restricted area and the free throw line, he just, it's the drive, spin, little fade away. That shot is money because he has such a good ball handler and such a good shooter, right? So he gets the ball at the three point line. You got to run him off the three. So you gotta, you gotta be running towards him, right? If you're not running towards him, he's just going to take the three and make a lot of those. Then he drives and you say, okay, well he's going to try to get to the rim because he's crafty, he'll do the little, little bump. He got called for a couple of offensive fouls. He did extend the arm a little too much on a couple of those. Okay, fine, it happens. But he's generally really good at using the shoulder and not extending the arm all the way out, but keeping the arm bent and just kind of giving that little shove, that allowable shove, just enough to get the defender momentum going the other way so he can finish at the rim. So defenders are afraid of that too. So you, you now you've put yourself at a disadvantage running at him. Then you've put yourself at a disadvantage kind of waiting for that, that drive and in thinking that he's going to drive and then at some point he stops and turns. Now at that point the reaction is either the, the defender is going to be way out of the way or if you try to react the other way, he can just spin and step through and do that little step through move, or he just gives it up and goes to get it back. There are so many options there, but he's so open on those, it's incredible. And then Jalen's doing Jalen things where he's just creating space 10, 15, 17ft away and hitting tough, tough shots. I wonder, and this is probably a discussion for another day, I wonder if this magic is going to continue throughout the season. He's shooting almost 50%. In fact, the numbers I saw were just below 50%. I don't think that they took into account his mid range shooting from this game. So he might be closer to 50, maybe even over it by the time the stats update in the morning. He's just hitting at a, at a rate in the mid range that is the acceptable, efficient mid range shot. And teams are running him off the line from three. He's muscling his way to spots where he's getting that fade away down and that that entire second quarter was just a crusher from those Spots and the Celtics went off for 47 points. They won the quarter by 25. They went from down 11 to up 14, and it was just never really a game after that. Third quarter was a barrage from Sam Houser. He was four or five from three in the, in the third quarter. He went for 14 points, Jalen, 10 points in the third quarter, five of six, zero three point attempts. Jalen didn't take a three point attempt until he needed to at the end of the fourth quarter while he was still in the game. And he needed, I think six points to get to 30. And he hit a couple of three pointers, got himself to 30 before there was a dead ball and he got subbed out. And so I thought that was funny. He wanted that 30 piece. If he gets a 30 piece in Portland on Sunday, he will tie Larry Bird for eight in a row. The team record, which is nice and just a testament to Jalen. You get the, you get the keys to the car and you drive it perfectly. And now he's the one putting the, his name next to Larry Bird in the record books. It's just kind of wild and a topic definitely down the road. I really wonder how much different this Celtics offense is going to be when you get fully realized Jaylen Brown, fully realized Jason Tatum and put them together. What, what kind of options does that provide? Where does, where does this offense go? But that's a whole other podcast, a discussion, probably an offseason discussion, but it's just because that what Jaylen is doing is so good, historic potentially, that it opens up these kinds of discussions. So the third quarter was just Sam Houser going off. Fourth quarter didn't even really matter. There was a little dust up at the end of the third quarter between TJ McCollum McConnell and Jordan Walsh, which was really a whole lot of nothing. But TJ McCollum McConnell made it something and there was a little burst, was like a tiny moment there where it was like, are, are the Pacers going to do something stupid here and make life difficult for the Celtics? Thank you, Derrick White, for kind of stepping up there in the fourth quarter, hitting a couple of shots. Peyton Pritchard stepping up again in the fourth quarter, hitting a couple of shots just to kind of quell that little uprising from the Pacers. So other than that, the fourth quarter didn't really matter. Other guys that I think had like, I gotta mention Baylor Shireman, who was underrated, but he was a plus 18. He was the second highest. No, he was third highest behind Luca Garza. Plus 26. Gotta mention Luca Garza. Right? So let me start with Charman, who was underrated, five rebounds. I thought he just did a nice job getting in there on the boards. Luca Garza stepped in again. It's kind of like this fun revival for Luca Garza, who came in, just did a little bit of, you know, everything. The, the rebounding, the positioning, the, the screen setting, freeing guys up. Couple of nice plays there where, you know, you see him set, set a screen, set a screen, set a screen. Get in there, get in position for a rebound. Just doing all of those hustle plays. Anthony Simons gets a shout out for, you know, getting hot a little bit there. That's about it. As far as the individual stuff. Not much from the game other than like slow start. Pacers were super hot. Second quarter domination, third quarter, you know, let Sam Houser go and then that was basically it. But this was a vindication in absolute top to bottom. This is perfectly what Missoula Ball was supposed to be. This game to me was Missoula Ball in an absolute nutshell. I will explain that next.

This game to me was the biggest vindication of Missoula ball because the thing that, that I think drove Joe Missoula crazy was that this insistence that Missoula ball was just three pointers. And I think because, and I get how people get there, right? The, the teams that Joe Missoula had are, you know, the Tatum Brown Jrue Holiday, Derrick White, you know, the Kristaps Porzingis starting lineups were just a bunch of three point shooters. You bring Pritchard Hauser and Al Horford off the bench a bunch of three point shooters. And Joe kept saying all along, I'm not telling these Guys to go shoot threes. We are creating advantages, and those are the shots that we get. Those, those are the shots that we want. And people are just like, well, Joe Missoula loves threes. He loves threes. They're shooting 50 threes a game. And yeah. Did it go overboard in a couple of games? Sure, absolutely. Like, they. There are times when they didn't feel like doing some things and they just felt like they could shoot, shoot their way past certain teams. That's fine. I understand that. But why this game was the ultimate Missoula ball vindication to me is the fact that it involved everything. The Celtics hit 23 pointers. They were 20 of 39 and really 20 of 39. You got a heat check from. From Sam Houser in there. You get three three pointers from Jaylen, but he had not taken a three pointer the whole night. And all of a sudden he was like, oh, I need two threes to get to 30. Let me just start blasting a few of these up. So at least four of those were outside of the purview of the offense, which is to say the general offense. The, the strategy is, as Joe Mazzulla will explain it, create two on ones, create advantages, create, you know, get two defenders on the ball, then get it to the open guy. Where is that open guy? Is he in the corner? Is he somewhere else? Is, is that two on one somewhere else? And you have the advantage wherever it is. That's where you got to go. And the Celtics create. In the past, the Celtics have created these advantages and they've always just become three pointers because the players on the team were a bunch of decent three point shooters. Decent to good to great three point shooters. Some older guys who didn't want to drive a whole lot and all of that stuff. In this game, those advantages were individual. Peyton Pritchard, like I said before, Jalen Brown, like I said before, those advantages were all over the floor. So Peyton Pritchard creates the advantages. What does he get? 2 point shots in the paint, non restricted area. Jalen Brown creates advantages. Where do, where do those shots come from? Mid range, 15 footers or so. Sam Houser gets the advantage. They create advantages. And find Sam Houser, he goes seven of eight, seven of seven. Really? And then that eighth was just a little bit like he was leaning. That was. That was a I am shooting this thing no matter what shot. That was an absolute, like, definition of a heat check. So the vindication is the Celtics ran their offense, the Celtics created their advantages, and then they found the Spots where they had the best shots. And the, the process didn't change. The thought, the, the coaching didn't change. Joe Missoula didn't sit there and say, you know what, we take too many threes, we got to take more twos. No, no, he didn't say that. He said the same thing that he said last year, that you got to go create your advantages. And this is the whole thing about Joe and what they're trying to do. And you heard if you were watching the game on tv, Brian Scalabrini was talking about how much different the game was from what he played to when to what they're doing now. And if you, I'm sure like Cedric Maxwell would go like two generations deeper and be like, you know, this is a, this is almost like a foreign concept of what's, what they're doing now is just so free flowing that the memorization part is, it's just there's. We think of basketball as you're, these are the plays. And I can draw up plays on a whiteboard and say xxxxx and this guy goes here and this guy goes there. When you know, and have the structure and yeah, the Celtics have a structure of a play. And then once that first pass is made, the whole thing just depends on what the defense is doing and everything is just a reaction. These guys are learning how to pick apart what's happening in front of them and then just say okay, okay, this, then this, this, then this, this than this. It's not go here, set a pick, go here, set a pick, you know, roll, go to this spot. You know, we all, if you played any level of basketball, that's you just, we ran plays and blah blah, blah. These guys are reading, reacting, just almost exclusively reading and reacting on the floor. And that's Missoula ball. That's what Missoula is teaching. He's not teaching memorization skills, he's teaching how to read and react. And these guys are learning and growing their IQs. As this is going on and as it's all happening, whatever the best shot is available next season, who knows what that's going to be? We won't know what the shot profile is going to be until we see what the players are, what their skills are and then kind of have a sense of what the NBA defenses are trying to do and then we can get a little sense of what the shot profile is going to be. That's the thing about Missoula ball. It's not just shoot threes. It's also not Just shoot twos. It's not shoot, just layups. The one thing Joe Missoula hates more than anything probably is a missed layup. Contested layups are the worst because they almost always lead to something damaging on the other end. On layup A3, you're always at a disadvantage. So it's about the right shot at the right time. They got in the first quarter, they got decent shots. They didn't make a ton of them. They. In the second quarter, it was a mix. Like I said, 6 of 12 from 3, but also 10 of 13 from 2. Third quarter happened to be more three pointers because of Sam Houser. 6 of 8 from, from 3, but also 7 of 10 from 2. They hit a lot of these shots. They hit a ton of shots. But where they got those shots were the product of Missoula ball and it didn't matter. Two or three or whatever. That's the beauty of this game. That's, that's why this is the vindication of that style. And I hope for the people who are just sitting there going like, nah, Joe just loves three pointers. This, this is the game I want you to look at. Because that second quarter was as much getting into that, that mid range that, that middle of the paint, that was as much that as it was anything else. I would contend the two pointers are what changed this game. So now the Celtics have won four in a row and their road trip continues. I've talked a little bit about this, but this is super important. This run here is incredibly important for this season. I'll explain that when I come back. Today's show is brought to you by game time. During the basketball season, there's nothing like being in the building. The energy, the crowd, that first big run that gets everybody on their feet.

Inspires thank you for making Lockdown Celtics your first listen Every day. Make your second listen. Lockdown NBA and Lockdown NBA game night. Game night, seven days a week covering the whole league, the whole association, top to bottom. And then Lockdown BA is Monday through Friday in the afternoons covering the big stories of the league. So everything you want in the NBA on that one feed, two podcasts, One feed. Right, right here you get the Celtics, you get two podcasts, you get three. Two feeds, three podcasts, whole thing covered. It's beautiful. Okay, so the Celtics have a stretch coming up that I think is really important. They are 19 and 11. They are third. I'm going to pull up the standings here real quick. Third in the east by two games. Okay, it's okay. So we're past Christmas. You can start looking at the standings a little bit now. We're about a third, a little more than a third away through the season. So it's starting to, starting to feel like, okay, let's kind of see where, where the horses are in this race. Yeah, look at the Celtics. They're in the third spot. Well, the Celtics, some people don't like when I say they haven't had, they, they haven't had bad injury luck. I understand that Jason Tatum's hurt. I hope people understand that. I, I clearly don't mean Jason Tatum. Like this team, minus Jason Tatum, the team that's taken the floor this year, Celtics have not had bad injury luck. So far, so good. Knock on wood. Right? So you've got a stretch here of games where they're playing the Blazers on Sunday is basically an every other day thing. Blazers, Jazz, Kings, clippers, they've won four in a row. You got four games against four teams below.500. They're eight and three against teams below.500. Their 11 games are the fewest in the east. Against. They've played 11. The Knicks have played 11. Oh no, the Magic have played 10. So the second fewest in the East. The Nets have also played 10 against teams below.500. But 19 of the Celtics games have come against teams above.500. They're 11 and eight in those. So eight and three against teams below.500. And you got four games coming up against those, those teams. So 80, 70 something percent of those wins. Can the Celtics get three out of the four in those? That would be great. I mean, four in a row, four more in a row. So that would be eight in a row. Can they do that? Well, I'm never going to say you expecting an eight game winning streak is, is crazy to me. But if they can win three of the next four, then they have a, they have some potential. I think the Clippers are going to check the Clipper score because I think the Clippers have been. Yeah, they beat the, they beat the Blazers. They're on a little bit of a roll. Not that they're anything great, but they're in a little bit of a role, I think so that, you know, that's been. They've won three in a row. So the Jazz are 11 and 19. They're not great, but you know, they're not terrible. The blazers are 12 and 19. Not great, but they're not terrible. The Kings are terrible. So say three out of four. Okay. Anyway, regardless, this is incredibly important. If they can do that and get to 22 wins, 23 wins, 20, what would that be? 22 and 12. That would be incredible. That would probably keep them in third. Who knows, Maybe gets them to second. These are the stretches where you've got to build up your pad. It's almost like saving money. Because you know, for anybody who does like freelance work or something like that, and you get like an opportunity to get four or five jobs in a row. Think of it that way. You get four or five jobs in a row, you're getting paid pretty decent money. You gotta save up that money. Cause you don't know when those jobs are gonna go away. And you're like, I hope I still keep getting that freelance work. But if I have a couple of weeks where I don't get as much work, that money that I built up is going to have to carry me through. Same idea for the Celtics where build up these wins, get yourselves up to, you know, 23 and 12 or whatever, and kind of keep that pad. And hey, if the jobs keep on coming, if the winds keep on coming, great, you're going to be at the top of the East. You're going to be a top three team, which is just a magical season already, a surprising season. And congratulations, however it goes, it goes. It's all gravy to me, but at some point here, you just expect somebody. Somehow, the Celtics are going to have a little bit of a skid. It happens in every season. I'm not saying. I'm not like saying they're going to suck or anything like that, but every team goes through a stretch in the season where it's like, ah, they've lost a couple here, like the Celtics again at 19 and 11. This is a time to be happy about this team, celebrate them. I'm not trying to bring you down, but I'm also realistic here. The Celtics still have almost no margin for error. They're playing great, but if they stop playing great, we've seen it. They lost a couple of games in a row before, and you're like, oh, a couple of things weren't working out and they lose. They lose those games. So that could easily happen again to the Celtics. I mean, a loss to Milwaukee, the lot loss of Detroit, but I still think Detroit was a winnable game. But those opportunities are there for Boston to pile up the wins just in case. Hey, maybe, you know, you got a stretch coming up against the. What is it you get Chicago when you come home, and then it's Denver, Toronto, the Spurs. Look, that's not the easiest stretch there. Chicago is, you know, not great, but Denver, Toronto should be a win, but who knows? The spurs is going to be tough. You, the two best teams in the west, two of the three best teams in the west, and then another road trip that includes, you know, Atlanta, Detroit, like, there's Atlanta is not good, but still tough places to play. And you just never know when you're going to hit a little bit of a skid. I just think it's important when you see these wins, these winnable games, this winnable stretch in front of you, take it. Because if Jalen sprains an ankle or if Jalen's hamstring acts up and there's a week or two where it's like, ugh, this is not going to go well. You have these wins banked just in case, and if nothing ever happens, then great. But I just know that this team, it's always a tenuous grasp on its success. And when everybody's playing well, which most of the team like I think only Hugo Gonzalez against the Pacers I could look at and be like that was not a good game. That's the only guy who didn't have a good game. And Larry, okay, 19 year old kid, I've been a very high on Google Gonzalez, I'll say it like when he didn't play well, did not play well in this game. But you're going to have nights where the shooting isn't there or something else isn't there. A couple of things aren't there. And the cell is going to lose those games. If you have a bad stretch or a long cold streak or just somebody steps on a foot, lands on a foot, something like that, you just got to be if the Celtics are going to stay here in the top six and succeed, then they need to bank these wins. That makes these trips to me. It makes these, these games on this trip a little bit more important. So it's a great start to the road trip. Take advantage of these winnable games that are in front of you. Blazers, Utah, Sacramento, Clippers come home Chicago, Denver, tough day off. Back to back, three games and four nights there. Toronto, San Antonio, San Antonio on the fourth game, a third game of a three and four. Oof. That feels uncomfortable. But whatever, we'll get there when we get there. Step one Sunday night Portland.
