So everyone's deploying AI agents now, right? They're automating tasks, handling workflows, and making decisions. But here's the thing. Sometimes they mess up. They delete the wrong files, make changes you didn't authorize or just go off script. And when that happens, you're stuck trying to figure out what went wrong and how to fix it. Unless you're using Rubrik Agent Cloud. Rubrik Agent Cloud is the only platform that allows you to monitor, govern and rewind AI agents. One platform to help you unleash more agents faster without the risk it's running in the background the whole time, watching what's happening, making sure things stay on track. You get full visibility. You can set guardrails so agents don't go rogue. And if something breaks, you just roll it back, like Undo, but for AI. And the rewind happens fast. We're talking minutes, not hours or days. Rubrik Agent Cloud gives you that safety net when you're experimenting with AI, so one mistake doesn't tank your whole operation. Companies like hospitals and banks are using Rubrik Agent Cloud because they can't afford to have AI agents making mistakes with sensitive data.

Jaylen Brown goes off for 30. The Celtics win easy. It didn't look great, but it's not as bad as the numbers might show. It's right now in the Lockdown Celtics podcast.

A great place to visit and a great place to do a podcast. After the Boston Celtics beat the Indiana Pacers later on, we're going to get into the just individual performances, how this was kind of like an everybody chipped in kind of game. You know, the Pacers did their part in missing every shot. We'll talk about that. Jalen Brown, great quote on free throws coming up in the second segment. We're going to start though with Jalen Brown and Sam Houser. Let's just go with Jalen Brown's 30 point game, which is a great night for Jalen. He started off slow, two of eight at one point and was not really finishing at the rim. Was not really, you know, it looked like it was going to be one of those kind of tough, inefficient nights for Jalen, but he got it together. He ended up shooting pretty decent. Well, he ended up shooting 50% overall, so that's really good. 50% from 3 as well, which was just what, 1 of 2. So a nice 20, you know, 20 shots from 2 point land, 10 of 20 from 2. He kind of figured it out at the rim a little bit. He was, like I said early on he was struggling. But then he got to where was the 8 of 14 shooting inside the paints. Still would like to be a little bit better when you get in the paint, but overall just a really great night for Jalen and just that constant attack, right? It was just keep going, keep pushing, keep pushing. And like I said, we'll get to the free throws later on. But Jalen got to the line nine times on top of everything. So it wasn't just the 22 shot attempts. It was getting to the line really just a really big part. Carrying the offense on a night where I don't think the offense was overly, I think, you know, fluid. They, they did a decent job attacking when, when things were moving well. They got the ball inside. A lot of great dump offs to Namish Kaeda. A lot of great dump offs to Luca Garza. Some of them were a little funky, but Jalen attacking was a huge reason why the Celtics were able to get this and build this easy win. It was 1818. Early on it looked like it was going to be a little bit of a back and forth game, just feeling things out and, and not a criticism of the Celtics because this, this essentially was a Road game at home, right? They, they just gone out on the road. They'd spent, what was it, eight, nine days away from home. They come back, you drop your stuff off, you pack new stuff, you get to sleep in your own bed for two nights and then off you go back to back on Friday and Saturday in Brooklyn and Chicago. So this, this really was a sort of a road game where guys could drive to and is how it, it really measures out. And that makes it understandable for maybe some guys not to be shooting entirely great or the, the feeling out of the game to take a little bit longer. So I really wasn't like worried that the Celtics were kind of struggling early on with the shooting. But they eventually figured it out. They figured it out enough. And the guy who figured it out the most is Sam Houser, who had 17 points on 5 of 7 shooting from 3, 6 of 8 overall. The one two pointer that he hit was fantastic. What it's funny because I press row like Gary Washburn turned to turn to me and J. King, he's like, that might be the best move I've ever seen Sam Houser make. Guy closing out on him in the corner, up, fake, spin move, dribble. Stepping into a mid range shot. That really was a spectacular move from Sam Houser. And I'm going to channel Joe Maula a little bit here and say Sam was not defined by just his scoring in this one, his passing, his defense, like he had the whole thing going. He had six rebounds, three assists in this game. Was a really nice game from, from Hauser. But it's obviously with him it's all about the shooting, right? Six, five, five of seven. Hold on and get my box score here. Five of seven from three. This was his fourth game this month. Fourth game this month of five, three pointers or more. He has eight all year long. So October, end of October is just basically a week. November, December, he had four games of five or more three pointers this month. And this is recording technically on January 22nd. So there's still another week plus of the month left. He's already had four. So Hauser is, is he. First of all, he's shooting almost 50% from 3 this month. When he starts the season cold, it, you know that this is coming. And look, I know that the three point shot is inherently a high variance kind of shot where the ball comes off your finger just an eighth of an inch the wrong way and it's a miss, right? So you do everything right. It feels good and it just maybe you, maybe you had a little extra. Maybe the, the momentum carries you a little bit forward more than whatever. So I know that that's going to be a shot that is prone to streakiness. I still would like to see Sam Houser be just a little bit more consistent. You know, maybe, maybe instead of 48% in January we'll just dial it down to 46, 45 and tack on that 3% somewhere where you are shooting 30 something percent. Can we do that? Is that possible? But either way it, every three point shooter is going to go through slumps and I'm certainly not going to be overly critical of that. But I do think Sam just goes a little too, the pendulum goes a little too much one way and a little too much the other way. Otherwise you know, at the end he's going to be a 40% three point shooter. He's always been a 40% three point shooter. He's almost certainly going to be one for however long he stays in the NBA. Whenever he's not might be when it's like oh okay, maybe it's time to like hang it up. But he was, I think, I think he's been really, really good for the Celtics doing more than just shooting. And it's funny, you know, Joe Missoula will always praise Sams and Anthony Simon's defense no matter what the question, no matter who asks it. If you're asking a post game question or pregame, if you're asking Joe just in a scrum situation, a podium situation, hey Sam Houser, what a wow. What shooting or Anthony Simons, man, that dude just dropped whatever in a quarter. Joe will not allow those guys to be simply defined by their offense, their shooting or whatever. He has to throw in the other stuff, he has to throw in their defense. And I believe that's calculated. It's obvious he wants these guys to, to be sure not to get caught up in that stuff. He wants them to hear all the other praise for the defense and the other stuff. And I think that is a great approach for, for Joe in, in the media. Sam, I think has, has grown as a player. He's really grown as a guy who can do more. Jalen Brown was talking about it after the game. A guy who can, you know, obviously you're going to be afraid of the shot and then you know, you can deck it, you can attack the clothes out. He had one really nice pass I think to Namishkada as one of the assists. Just when Sam has all those little other elements of the game going. The Celtics are going to be tough to beat because it's just one more guy. You know, you can count on the other guys. And to have Sam be one of the guys that you're like, man, he's beating us off the dribble too. That's, that's a big factor. Turnovers, the numbers are worse look worse than they actually are. I actually thought the Celtics, despite the numbers looking bad. I thought they protected the ball well. At least they did for long enough. I'll explain that when I come back.

Thank you for making Lockdown Celtics your first listen every day. Thank you for making it the number one Celtics podcast in the world. On the number one sports podcast Network in the world. It's because you're an everydayer who's with me every Monday through Friday, who's with me on bonus podcasts. And I do appreciate that. I appreciate you sharing with your friends. That's really the most important thing. If you like what I've said, if you like a point that I've made, or if you want to argue with a point, hey, listen, I had the thing the other day about Jason Tatum and the need to kind of like, step aside and Jaylen Brown, like, dude, let Jaylen Brown cook a little bit more. There are a lot of people who really don't like that take. And I've been arguing with people on Twitter all day. Fine. It's. I'm not. This is not the time or space to relitigate that. But if you want to argue with me, argue with me, share with your friends, call me a moron, whatever you want to do, go ahead and do that. Just share the podcast and have fun. Want to spark a conversation sometimes? And hey, I'm not always right. Maybe I'm right about that. Maybe I'm wrong. Turnovers and free throws. Jaylen Brown, after the game, was asked about the free throws. Since his fine, he has taken 7, 12, 10, and tonight, 9 free throws. So since taking zero against the San Antonio spurs, that's what he's gotten. And he said, yeah, maybe it was the fine. And, you know, maybe it was maybe sometimes. Listen, it happens all the time, right? We, we've. You go back to like, Phil Jackson days, and he would just completely blast the refs in a post game and get, you know, all of a sudden, next to the next day, like, Michael Jordan got a, you know, 20 free throws or whatever it is. Like there's, it's, there's like a history of that happening. So maybe Jalen's right. Maybe it was the fine. But the Celtics got to the line a lot, and that was a big reason why they were able to build the lead. I think when I look at the numbers here, the final numbers look like. Like, if you look at the final box score only and you listen to what I'm saying, you're gonna be like, john, what are you talking about? Free throws. They. They took. You only took two more free throws than they did. And okay, the Celtics were a plus five. So. So what? Okay, well, look, first of all, 15 point win. Celtics were plus five. They were equal in three pointers even though the Celtics took 14 fewer. The Pacers. And I'll get to this in a second. Didn't shoot well, but they were even in three pointers. The Celtics made five more two pointers, 10 points, five more free throws. There's your 15 points. But when they were building the lead early in the game, this is where I think the numbers really stand out. In the first half, The Celtics were 16 of 16 from the line, while the Pacers were 5 of 7. So the Celtics went into halftime up 20, and that's where they built this lead. The Pacers did a nice enough job at the end of the third quarter. You can say some of it was the Pacers making shots. Some of it was them getting to the free throw line themselves. Some of it was them turning the Celtics over finally to cut into the lead and getting it down to. I think it down to nine at one point. But the Celtics pushed back and got it back up to not quite. I think it was 18 and it settled at 15. So easy win for the Celtics. But you got to rewind all the way to the beginning where the Celtics went into halftime up 20. And you go, oh, well, this is. This is where the free throws were really noticeable. 16 of 16, 5 of 7 for the Pacers, plus 11 from the free throw line. That's how the Celtics built a big lead. The turnovers. Now again, if you just look at the box score at the end and then you say, John, what are you talking about? The Celtics protected the ball. They had 16 turnovers for 19 Pacers points. The Pacers had 14 points, 14 turnovers for 16 points. They had fewer turnovers. They had more points off turnovers. John, you. No, it's the first half when the Celtics built their 20 point lead and took complete control of this game. First quarter, one turnover for the Celtics for three points while the Pacers had five for seven points. In the second quarter, it was. Was that the. In the second quarter, the Celtics had one turnover for three point. I'm sorry. So the first quarter they had four for zero points. In the second one, they had one for three points. So at halftime, let me just say it this way, five turnovers at halftime for three Pacers points. They were plus nine. The Pacers had eight turnovers for 12 points. The Celtics were plus nine at halftime when they had a 20 point lead. The lead got up to 23. And then the Celtics started to turn the ball over, and then the Pacers started to get to the free throw line. So at the beginning, five turnovers to three points. That was. That was the Celtics doing what they do best, protecting the ball. You know, that that's supposed to be a 10 turnover pace. So that's what I'm talking about when I say the numbers don't look as. The numbers weren't as bad as they look at the end. Totally get it. Yes. 19 points of they got sloppy and that's how the Pacers made their run. It's when the Celtics stopped turning the ball over, stopped fouling, started rebounding, started getting back out and were able to put together a 22:12 run in the middle of the fourth quarter. A nice sustained long run to take control back. You know, there's a stretch where I was like, okay. And Jaylen Brown had just checked out the. The offense kind of started to get really stagnant. They looked bad. That's when the turnover started to pile up. So I'm not so worried about that necessarily. It was. I think the Celtics maybe relax a little. I think without Jaylen Brown, they got a little discombobulated. He was really the best player by a mile in this game. And in the end, the final box score looks worse than it really was. This was a true, I think full kind of team win to support Jalen. It was Jalen at the top, very top heavy, but that's only 30 points. The Celtics got up to 119. I'll get to all of that. Derrick White and Peyton Pritchard kind of having another aberra like the type of games that they had scoring wise typically hurts the Celtics. They didn't this game. And then we'll get the Pacers perspective as they were ice cold. It's all coming up next. Today's show is brought to you by Quo. It's a new year.

They shot less than 30% from from 3.26.7 to be exact. Each team made 12 three pointers. It took the Celtics 31. Nice. You know, 31. All of this, you know talk. All. The Celtics take so many three pointers. They've got a ton of 30 or so three point games. They're able to put up 119 on 88 shots. Really nice free throws obviously 23 of 25. That does a great job there. Pacers took 45 three pointers only made 12. Life is a little bit different when Jay Huff is over 3 from 3 versus I don't know, felt like 20 of 21 at one point in that last win. Obviously Jalen Brown didn't play in the loss to the Pacers but Jay Huff held in check. That's nice. Pascal Siakam was not held in check, but his damage didn't hurt the Celtics. Hey, let's get the Pacers take from Tony East.
- [23:41]
E
104 Celtics 119. Pacers crushed once again by Boston. They're 1 and 3 again against them this season wasn't thanks to Pascal Siakam. He was awesome. 32 points, 10 rebounds, 4 assists for him in this game. He continues to be a metronome for the Pacers every single game. You can expect high points from him. He gets a lot of defensive attention, makes things happen for the Pacers. Nobody else stepping up and doing anything for them. Jerus Walker with 19 as their second leading score. Johnny Furfy with 10. That's it for the Pacers in double figures in this game. Their offense never really flowed outside of one little pocket maybe of the third quarter. And they couldn't stop Jaylen Brown and the Celtics attack. Sam Houser continues to be hot from deep Pacers just a little disconnected right now. After winning four out of five, they head out on the road. They, they had a game with a bunch of rest in Detroit and haven't really been able to get that flow back. Another blowout, this time at the hands of the Celtics. They're 10 and 35. Will have much more on this game and Siakam's brilliant season unlocked on Pacers.
- [24:32]
A
Yeah, check out lockdown Pacers. It's always good to see the other person's perspective there. That's 100, right? Obviously the, the. That little pocket in the third is what got the, the Pacers going. That's when they started to actually make a few three pointers. So. But the Celtics were able to kind of keep that in check. This was an interesting night for Peyton Pritchard and Derek White who shot 4, 4 of 12 for Pritchard, 4 of 10 for White combined for 23 points. They did manage to get into double digits in the fourth quarter, but for a lot of this game, the Celtics were putting up big points. Early in the third quarter, I was looking at it like The Celtics had 77 points with seven minutes to go. And Pritchard and White were just non existent offensively as far as scoring anyway. And you know, I was talking to some of the guys on press row and we're like, this is the type of game where the Celtics, they normally kind of suck when these two guys are putting up these kinds of numbers. And the Celtics were kind of persevering through that and Putting up. Like I said, they put up 119 points. It's kind of right up where they are their offensive ratings. So this is, this is the offense doing its job and they were a part of it. They were the two biggest plus minus guys. Pritchard was a plus 26 in a 15 point win, White was a plus 18 and Pritchard. There was an interesting lineup. It was Pritchard, Sherman, Walsh, Garza and Simons. And that lineup did all right. They had played 11 possessions together the entire season and all of a sudden there they are at the beginning of the second quarter. Interesting lineup. But there they were kind of helping push the pace and Pritchard was a big part of that. He did have eight assists in this game. So you can be a positive. Like White at the end was a big positive. Getting to the free throw line, getting the rebounds, five assists for him. He just defensively always a menace even though he didn't have a block or steal. Just the, the overall performance from these two guys. They play well even when they don't shoot well some nights. So they, they were important parts of especially in the later quarters in the second quarter helping the Celtics kind of build that 20 point lead in the fourth quarter. Rebuilding that lead back up to 18. So even though the scoring numbers weren't there for Payton or for Derek, the rest was Nish K5 block shots was incredible defensively. Again a lot of dump offs there to him just being in the right place. Celtics are, have done such a good job of when the offense is flowing well and the, the defense is worried about the ball handler, Derrick White, Peyton, Pritchard, whoever like Jalen Brown, they are able to find Keda in spots where he can score or he can make a pass and get the ball out into somebody's hands and you know, either it's a hockey assist or whatever. He, he's able to impact the game. Either he, you know his space that he creates with the role. There are a lot of times where he just him rolling to the basket gets somebody going oh crap, I gotta go account for this guy. And the, the, the defense kind of forgets like oh well there's I'm, I've left an important player see because this guy is getting to the rim and if they throw him the ball he's going to dunk it. And now this other guy is getting wide open looks. So Kate's impact is, is important and noticeable and he did a great job. The five blocks were huge. Some of them were monster blocks. And then you Know you get everybody off. The only person who played in this game and didn't score was Amari Williams who only played like less than four minutes. And so okay, no points in four minutes. Not, not a big deal. Everyone else came in and, and scored. Simons. Quiet night, but you know, decent. Garza, eight points but a plus 13. Got to the free throw line, got fouled a bunch, had three offensive rebounds. Positive impact there. Nice finishing around the rim. Shireman two of four, one of two from three. The one three that he made was a no dip in the corner. He's really got that no dip three pointer down. Jordan Walsh, he had one block shot and that was a monster block in the, in the corner on a three point shot. But Jordan doing his defensive thing. I just like the way this team, you can just go to anybody here. Ugo Gonzalez comes in, had a great play, fighting for a loose ball, kicking it out to Jalen, then relocating to the right around the break on the left side for a three. That was just a really nice effort play. That's what, that's what Ugo does. You know, the effort plays. He's not playing as much as he used to. I think some of it, you know, he's a rookie and he does have pro experience in Spain obviously, but he's still a rookie. And this is a grind of every other game. Like the one thing the pro experience has done wonders I think for him in terms of maturity and the ability to, you know, understand the, the game at a high level for a 19 year old and to not be afraid of a moment because NBA atmospheres kind of don't even compare to some of the atmospheres that he's been in already in his career. But the one kind of drawback to the European pro is the schedule is very college. Like you're playing a couple of games a week maybe and to go every other night and three games in four nights and yeah, you know, back to backs, it's, it can be a grind. And as, as young and, you know, energetic as he is, it can be tiring. So I think Ugo's feeling some of that as well. So overall, just, it wasn't like the prettiest game. It wasn't, but it was a solid game. It was a solid game. A really great performance from Jalen Brown. Sam Houser continues his role. Everybody's kind of doing their job really well. Maybe you don't shoot as great as you'd like, but you come in, you do the other things solid. Celtics win and they now go out to Brooklyn, who just got demolished by the New York Knicks 50 plus point loss, which probably says as much like the Knicks needed that win in that way in such it was so important to them. So I don't know how they're going to react. The Nets are going to react, but the Celtics have to go out there. This is a tough stretch like this. The schedule is not kind to the Celtics to come home, turn around and go back out and play another game on the basically on the road. This is basically like a road game at home. Like I said at the top to go back out. This is a 3 and 4 situation to play, Brooklyn to place. This is not an easy stretch at all. They're going to be dying for the All Star break in a few weeks, so we'll see how it goes. Obviously I got one more podcast this week before those games. Bonus podcast after the Brooklyn game Bonus podcast after the Chicago game so make sure you're subscribed.
