A little bit of a reality check for the Boston Celtics, who I think lost the mental game as much as they missed shots. Plus a rant coming up right now on the Lockdown Celtics Podcast. Huh? Yep yep yep. Down be ever ready it's the seas. Who else could it be? What they going to say now screaming like J.T. corralis recap the madness every game, every practice prime time Depp and D White on the sideline Ren and J how it started raising ban is how we finish Locked on Celtics pod Home of the winners. Welcome back to the Lockdown Celtics Podcast right here on the Lockdown Podcast Network. Where does your team every day? Your team is the Boston Celtics and I talk about them every Monday through Friday right here for free on the number one Celtics Podcast on the number one sports Podcast network on the planet. So thank you all for being every dares and making this show what it is. If you're new to the show, I'm John Corralis, beat Writer for Boston Sports Journal. I've been covering this theme for about 20 years now, doing this podcast for 10, and I've written a couple of books about the team as well.

It's available Everywhere. It's on YouTube. Get into the comment section there and join the regular listeners. We call them every day. There's people who are with me Monday through Friday. Later on in the third segment, we'll get the Bucks take. It's something new. I want to try to get the other side's take for a minute. And so we'll hear what Camille Davis has to say from lockdown Bucks in the third, third segment, and we'll react to that. Talk about the stagnant offense and individual nights. But first, let's just get why. Why did the Celtics lose this game? Two reasons, and they're connected. Number one, make miss. This is a make miss league. Doc Rivers, I think, made that famous in Boston. But it's true. The Celtics struggled in the second half. They. They were fine going into halftime. Up 14 at one point in the second half, the Bucks made a run. Kuzma made a little bit of a run. They cut it to seven at halftime, but still plenty of opportunity. The Celtics came out, hit a couple of shots. At the beginning of the third quarter, you think, okay, they're going to be okay. Then it all fell apart. Celtics 0 for 12 from three in the third quarter, 3 for 14 from three in the fourth. The Bucks shot 7 of 12 from three in the second half. The Boston Celtics took 11 more shots overall and 14 more three pointers, but they lost the second half by 22 because they shot 26% after halftime. And that, I think, got in their heads a little bit. Also. The Milwaukee Bucks got in their heads a little bit. You had trash talk from Kyle Kuzma early on, you know, jawing at Jalen Brown, saying something about his twitch stream. I think you had Kevin Porter Jr. Kind of like not stepping over Jalen Brown, but kind of stepping into the vicinity. Derrick White kind of intervened a little bit there, and then Bobby Portis in the third quarter, hits a turnaround jumper on Jalen, gets up in his face. And I think from there, what ended up happening was the Celtics, I think they let the misses impact their defense. The defense wasn't exactly where it needed to be. And then they let the trash talking get into their heads because in the second half, the Celtics got away from everything that was working. The. The sets that they were running, the just the offense that was working. That all went away in. In the second half, and it just became a big pigeon hunt. They call it. They call it pigeon hunting when you're. You're just constantly trying to find mismatches. The Celtics put up 67 points in the first half, that is absolutely fine. They allowed 60, which is not great, but they, they put up 67, which is great. That's a hundred. And what's that? 134 points in the second half. They scored 34 points. Bad. Sorry to, Sorry to hit you with a hard hitting analysis, but 34 points and a half is bad. You want to take a second to process that hard hitting information. They, they got outscored by 22. They allowed 56. They scored 34 again. They. 3 of 26. 11 and a half percent from 3 in the second half. 26 overall in the second half. That I think got in their heads. They completely lost the mental game. And I, look, I think one of the things you're going to hear on everybody's reactions this after this game is, was the break bad for them in some way? Like, they totally needed the time off. They absolutely needed the time off. It was, it was getting to be a bit much. But at the same time, man, what an upswing. Five in a row. Eight of ten or whatever it was. You're, you're the third seed. People are talking about, oh, my God, Jason Tatum can come back. This is a team that nobody's going to want to play in the playoffs. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. It's the middle of December and everybody's like, wow, is Brad Stevens going to be a buyer and everything? And these guys have three days off. Get off your feet for a couple days and just scroll through your phone. You're like, oh, look, everybody loves us. Oh, they think we're awesome now too. Oh, look how great they think we are. Near. You start to. We used to call it reading your press clippings because there were literal clippings from the newspaper where when your name was in the paper, you literally used to cut it out and be like, oh, look, my name was in the paper. Now it's whatever you want to call it, Reading your social media, whatever. And I do think there's a little bit of, you know, Brad Stevens loves to say it, Joe Maula loves to say it. Praise can be as dangerous as the criticism. You know, you, you, you struggle and you get criticized, and that can be damaging if you pay too close attention to it. Praise, same thing. Everybody loves you. And I think there's some element of the Celtics went into Milwaukee. No, Giannis was it. Green was out. They, they, they were clearly, they were struggling. Lots of people talking about what's going on in Milwaukee and Giannis gonna get traded and all that. And I think the Celtics went in, were like, all right, let's, let's. We got this. We got it. We're good. Go up 13, relax, gets cut to six. Go up 14, relax. Gets cut to seven. Come out in the third quarter, hit a couple shots. Well, we're good. We're good. And then Milwaukee gets up in their face, starts really ramping up the trash talk, really ramping up the pressure. Their defensive pressure was much better in the second half. And the Celtics are just like, oh, oh, we don't like this. And they kind of wilted, I think, and they. They certainly wilted under the pressure of missed shots as well, because now you're going up against, you know, a team in transition. And Kuzma killed them in transition. Portis did, too. But the misses led to runouts, led to cross matches, led to opportunities, and the Bucks couldn't miss. Kuzma, yeah, sure, he has a hook shot in his bag, but spinning hook shot, like, come on, what are you talking about? No, they got hot. They got super hot. Portis finished the game. What? He finished the game. This was 7 of 9 in the second half. He shot 11 of 13, 5 of 6 from 3:27 points. Come on. Kyle Kuzma, 13 of 17, shot 76%. Come on, make miss. But they got in the Celtics heads. They got in the Celtics heads. The offense got stagnant because the Celtics lost the mental game. I'll talk about that. And I got a rant coming up here after the break. Where was Jordan Walsh when Bobby Portis was getting up in Jalen Brown's face? I got a problem with this. That's next. Today's show is brought to you by Zoc. Doc.

Or if you want to pay for the year, 50 bucks for the year. Well, let's get back to this. I. I gotta. Let's talk about the stagnant offense first because I got one stat here that tells me everything you need to know about how this offense stagnated. And that's the shots for Jordan Walsh and Josh Minot. Walsh got seven shots in the first half. Josh Minot got three. Walsh made all seven. So 10 shots between them. When the ball's moving and they're running offense, they're collapsing the defense. They're spraying out to the corners. Spray swing, you know that kick, swing action. That's where Jordan gets his shots. That's where Josh gets his shots. Second half, Jordan gets three shots in the second half, Josh gets one because the ball was not moving and they started isolating. So if you Want any stat to tell you the. The offense wasn't running the way it was supposed to run? That's it. Those guys, the overflow guys, the drive, kick, swing guys, those guys weren't getting the ball. It just became, oh, Kevin Porter wants to be. You know, he wants to say something. Let me go right at him. I'll go right at him. Jalen Brown goes right at him. Now, Jalen had a 30 point game and all that stuff. That was great. But I didn't like the way they ran the offense in the second half. So the mental game. When I say they lost the mental game, that's what I'm talking about. They tried to isolate. They tried to go one on one. It tried. They tried to go at. At Porter, they tried to go at Kuzma. They tried to do these like, they tried to go mano a mano. And that's not where the Celtics strengths are at all. At all. Like, obviously, Jalen can isolate, but the whole game can't be that. They can't. That. That trash talk can't be effective. Can't let that in your head. So that brings me to the third quarter. Bobby Portis hits turnaround jumper, gets. Starts to run back and then turns and gets right up in Jalen Brown's face. Now, I don't know if they're cool with each other. I don't know what's going on because Jalen just kind of gave, like a weak little push and they gave the tech to Bobby Portis. What I want to know is, where was Jordan Walsh in all of this? Jordan Walsh was right next to the play and running down the court. And I don't know, maybe this is a little too 80s basketball, you know, which lives deep in my soul. And I am. You know, I miss the days of a hard foul going out there, kind of policing yourselves a little bit, like, oh, you want to pull this stuff? No problem. Come into the lane again, see what happens, you know, and put a guy on his butt on the floor and let him know, you can't. You can't be pulling that, okay? You can't do that anymore. But it doesn't mean you can let this go, right? Bobby Portis turn around, hits that shot, goes up in Jordan, in, in, in, in. Jaylen Brown's face, starts woofing, yelling, turns around. They call the tech on him. He doesn't care. He goes down to the other corner, is pumping up the crowd. They're pumping him up. He is just on fire. The whole building just rises up. They Took complete control in that moment. Where's Jordan Walsh? Remember summer league? Jordan Walsh, the guy who got ejected? The guy went, you know, somebody. I don't even know who it was. You know, came back at him. He pushed him, did the whole. Whoa. That whole thing. Got up in his face. Show that intensity. Where was that guy? Where was that guy? And I know I got mad at him, but I got mad at him for getting ejected because he didn't remember that he had two texts. Where was that attitude? Where was that? In this? Your superstar was getting punked right in front of you. The game was falling out of reach. The moment was there. Bobby Portis was pumping up the crowd. Everybody could see was like. Like an anime big ball of energy. I was waiting for, like, red and blue lightning and him to, like, power up or something. Where were you? You're the guy. You're supposed to be that guy. You're the big defensive wild card. You're supposed to be the guy, the energy guy. That's part of your job. When someone is punking your star, you got to go do something. You got to go say something. You got to get in his face. You take a tech as well, let them know, this ain't happening on my watch. You can't just sit there and watch and be like, oh, wow, man, the crowd's really getting into this. No, Bobby Portis gets up in Jalen Brown's face. When he turns around, he should be staring right in the eyes of Jordan Walsh. You wanted to be that guy in summer league. Where was that tough guy? Where is that energy? Joe Missoula texted him after, I love that energy. Where was that? Just felt the whole thing. No one on that team. No one said a thing. The most we got was Kevin Porter stepping up to a Jalen Brown on the floor, and Derek kind of like walking up and just being. And I don't expect that from Derrick White. Derek was just like, okay, don't. Don't do that. Where's the fire? Where is that? That bothered me, man. That bothered me. When they come out and just smack you in the face and punk you like that and you don't do a thing. No response. Nothing says a lot in that moment to me now. It's a learning experience. It's. It's an opportunity here. But you can't. You just can't let that moment go by without saying anything with that. No. No push, no. No finger wag in the face. No Jake Crowder pooping John Wall's nose, getting up into his face. That's what made those teams, the Isaiah Thomas team, so much fun, because everybody had chips on their shoulders, right? Jay Crowder. If that happened to Isaiah Thomas, Jay Crowder would have come in with a cross body block, flying elbow, macho man, Randy Savage style. You would have done something. They would have stood up for each other. And I'm not saying this in any way to suggest they don't have each other's backs. I know they all love each other. But what I'm saying is, in that moment, it calls for a response. It calls for some fire, some energy. The Bucks took all the energy in that moment. They took the game. They took the heart. They had the entire building in the palm of their hands. Bobby Po. They. They were chanting, bobby, Bobby, Bobby. You cannot let that happen. All he did was hit a turnaround jumper and get in Jaylen Brown's face and he took a tech and Bobby, Bobby. And you let it happen. You just let it happen. Can't. You can't do that. You can't do that. All right, that's my rant. That's my rant. Welcome back. We'll talk about individual performances, and we'll get the take the buck side of things when we return.

Individual performances. As I said, Jalen Brown had a, you know, another 30 point night and and as typically you look at the numbers, you say wow, 30 points, 10 of 17 shooting two or four from three, eight of nine from the line. Like offensively just brilliant game. Three assists, three rebounds still minus 15. But that's, you know that's going to happen in games like this. My only criticism with with Jalen is too much ISO too much. Like I said, pigeon hunting too much. Getting caught up in the moment. I think he just got too caught up in like he felt like he was getting punked and he, I think he wanted to answer and they got away from moving the ball. So the three assists probably a Function of guys missing a ton of shots. So. But I still, I still wanted him to move the ball a little bit better. But still overall, another 30 point night on, on super high efficiency. So even he's so damn good now that he can have this awesome night and be like, yeah, you know, he could have done some other stuff better. That's how good he is. Jordan Walsh first half was incredible. Seven of seven. The defense off the charts, all of that stuff. Second half was kind of disappeared, but again, because the, the offense stagnated, he kind of disappeared. Josh Minot wasn't really much in this game, so. But the beginning, the beginning of the game was just Jordan doing all kinds of stuff. Like, I really like where he's going. I like, I like how this is progressing for him. Pritchard had a rough shooting night. Derek White had a rough shooting night. 5 of 20 for the two of them. 3 of 11 for Pritchard, 2 of 9 for Derrick White. Not the best shooting night for these guys. Sam Houser, an absolute disaster. Oh, for ten, zero for nine from three. Three of those misses came out of the same possession. This was the ultimate disaster possession where Sam gets a great look from three misses. Celtics. I think Katie gets an offensive rebound kata, by the way, awesome rebounding night. 10 rebounds, five offensive. Just a monster on the boards. Still needs some work when he gets the ball in the dunker spot. That's just another stage in his development. He has to figure out how to score, how to be effective in the dunker spot, especially when the passes aren't exactly where they're supposed to be or exactly on time. He still has to figure out how to finish. There are easy ways to learn that, but he's just got to learn that. So that's the next part of his development anyway. K gets an offensive rebound. Hauser gets another look at a 3. I think Walsh gets an offensive rebound ball works around Hauser. Great cut, gets the ball, goes up for a layup, biffs the layup as well. So three misses on that same possession. Just a complete disaster night for Hauser back home, back in Wisconsin. He's from Wisconsin, so I don't know too much beer, cheese soup, I guess, which is a real thing, which is an amazing just mass of a concoction. Let's, let's take beer and cheese, which we can eat separately just fine, and let's just melt them into a soup, which I've had and it's, it's not bad, but I don't know how anybody in Wisconsin lives Past the age of 40 because just so much cheese and cholesterol and all that stuff. Anyway, Hauser just disaster game. Just nobody shot well. This, this is actually, I shouldn't say that. Jordan Wall shot well. He just didn't get enough shots and Jalen Brown shot well. So those are the individual performances. Let's do that. We're doing this. I'm going to start doing this this season. Getting a little bit from the other side. It's not going to happen every game, but we're going to do it as often as we can. So here's, here's the buck side of things from Camille Davis from Lockdown Bucks.
- [27:39]
B
That's a real good win for the Milwaukee Bucks. I'm the sick and tired Camille Davis coming to you after the Bucs 15 point win over the Celtics. A much needed win for a Bucks team that's been hearing a lot of noise. It was a shooting variance gang for sure. The Celtics shot great from three in the first half, shot terribly from three in the second half. Meanwhile, you have Bobby Portis and Kyle Kuzma combining for 58 points on 80% shooting from the field. You got to try to win games when COOs and BP give you that much play. Plus they got contribution from Kevin Porter Jr. Who started the game off really slow, picked it up in the second half, finished with a triple double of his own. Also shout out to Cole Anthony and to Gary Harris. Cole Anthony has not been in the rotation since Kyle or Kevin Port Jr. Came back and with reason. He had not been playing good. So he bounced back in this game a bit for the Bucks for some impactful minutes. Plus Gary Harris, a zero in that points column. What, two rebounds for him, two assists? Something like that? Yeah, but he was a team high plus 26. Did all the little things for the Bucks, played defense, move the ball, etc. Etc. A really good win for a Bucks team that desperately needed one.
- [28:55]
A
Yeah, they desperately needed a, a win in Milwaukee and, and that added to, I think that energy and, and why they came out the way they did. You had to know going in that they were going to, they're going to have that desperation. Right? There's just a lot of, there was such a, a mess with all the Giannis talk and oh, I met with the team. No, he never met with us. And who, who knows what's going on with that? There is pride there and they don't want to be held captive by whatever Giannis is doing, whatever Giannis wants, whatever.
- [29:31]
B
The.
- [29:34]
A
Whatever'S happening over there. They just. Nobody wants to fall victim to that stuff. And so these guys are capable. Kuzma is capable. They talked about it on the broadcast that, you know, Kuzma, Kuzma will either give you 30 or he'll give you 10. And I wrote about in the preview on Boston Sports Journal who, you know, where, where I said, like, this could be a night where, you know, a less than shooter kind of gets going. And it, you know, Kuzma is not the best shooter in the world, but he got going 31 points, Portis 27 points. He's capable. This is this stuff that he's capable of doing. But combined 24 of 24 of 30. This is one of those crazy nights. You can easily just distill this down to Kuzma and Portis shots like insane numbers. And Pritchard and White and Hauser shot horribly. And that's it. Like the second half was an unmitigated disaster. Complete lids on the basket. You just say, hey, when they miss shots, they miss shots. And that's it. But the reality check is you gotta, you gotta play not perfect. But the, the margin for error is still very thin for this team. And if things, certain things don't go right, they're not gonna survive. They're just not gonna survive a bad shooting night. There's. They're very rarely gonna be able to have that kind of shooting performance and make up for it in other ways. On top of it, you can't have the mental breakdowns that they had. They did do a lot of things that you can point to and say, look, they, they won. When you talk about margins, they won the margins. 20 more three point attempts, nine more shot attempts overall, eight more made free throws, eight more offensive rebounds, two more steals, two fewer turnovers, and you still lost shooting variants, 100 shooting variants. But how do you get away from the shooting variance stuff? It's just trying to manufacture better shots and just finding a way. You just gotta find a way to start making, finding a way to get back on track. Sometimes it doesn't happen and you can easily chalk it up. I just didn't like the way the Bucks took over mentally and kind of took control of that game and rode that momentum. Playing with confidence. If you ever wonder what does it mean when they say playing with confidence, that second half from the Milwaukee Bucks is exactly what it looks like. Playing with confidence is that second half Milwaukee Bucks, that's it. And the Celtics let the, the misses pile up they. And get into their heads and the, the trash talk get into their heads and it's a recipe for disaster happens. The Celtics team told you they're going to be ups and downs. This is a down now. How quickly Joe Missoula says this all the time. How quickly can you get back to being yourself? That's the big thing. How quickly can you return to normal? You got a chance on Monday against the Detroit Pistons. Who you've played great like that. Those. That's going to be another fun game at home. So it's an opportunity to get back on track.
