FIRST THINGS FIRST | Nick reacts to Joel Embiid Trolls Bucks For ‘Giving’ Celtics the NBA Title

in the let's go back to the game angle watch LCA on this okay all right we're watch watch L one more time let's see how Luca does if he fills in here okay Luca is right now he's supposed to be guarding the screener okay what I don't know what that is is that are they switching I they don't know either they ended up with a huge dunk I'm sure L did everything right again wonderful back to Kansas City but this time it's for the Yankees oh my God d the Yankees like hitting home runs in Kansas City I don't know if you want to change your ballpark call a Yankees they like hitting hitting in adult size ballpark not 314 to right field where you feel that you know what that's not ethical home run hitting is it Yankees win 11 to5 games going on right now weird uhoh Kyrie you know Kyrie has gotten so many guys lost on offense this that's a tough one bro yeah I mean look he he did play well off off I I don't yeah I mean I'll give him that he needed his 35 he got his 35 uh 612 Tom Brady day in Foxboro big ceremony but this is what I went with Tom Brady signing uh an autograph of a small goat some people would say baby goat our Patriots retire number 12 later in the day Jay-Z plays a miniature concert in the daytime a little tricky wow daytime concerts uh weird Rangers up two on the Dodgers in the ninth Hayward to the Gap one run scores so they're going to try to score another one and the third base Go's like stop please stop you see his hand he's like no man I'm going to be the hero and actually you're not you're going to end the game out game over and finally back to mini camp you know when Lamar Jackson had Hollywood Brown he was mediocre but now that Mahomes has him watch out he'll be mediocre you think so oh oh you you think you think BR I think it'll be solid t-shirt mediocre solid t-shirt bet that's a weird waterfall from the national P Drew holiday has been spectacularly solid last night 94 and five great defense has yet to turn the ball over this series and on the verge of earning his second ring Joel embiid weighing in on uh Twitter last night saying hold on did the Bucks give them the Celtics the championship BR your reaction look I like Joel first of all I think I need Joel to be healthy for a playoff series before he weighs in he's not allowed to he took a shot he took a shot all right that's all that's not an observation of course he can make OB he took a shot at he took a shot at can I say that can I just say something real quick you know who had that exact take six hours ago Deon on the what's right podcast so breu and Deon locked in on the I'm dollar I'm laying out on the beach you know thinking of Rhymes and all that putting something together yes right and then I see Joel take a shot okay look Drew is perfect obviously I I'm not going to sit here and say without him because obviously said they still might have got porzingis and Derek white they couldn't be here especially with everybody else Hur in the conference but he remember when they had Marcus Smart who was a great defender himself obviously defensive player of the year one year he was not a point guard though not a true point guard so at the end of games Brown and Tatum would have the ball in their hands and they made a lot of turnovers now Drew is a true point guard so that's for everybody's talking about the defense which is great but that is key he can settle them down when they need to be it doesn't have to be in the two Wing players hands all the time so that's huge and he was he's he's selfless all right he's averaged 19 points a game total for like the last six years and he's averaged 12 this year all right what I will say though is this Milwaukee which is probably being crushed right now for you know they gave up Drew Drew didn't play well last year when they lost in the first round to Miami yeah Jimmy Butler demolished him just made mint meet out of him on defense and then Drew shot 40% from the floor 28% from three last three games he shot 33% Drew Str offensively the whole time and they needed offense right so they were like Yannis we can't go to him at the end of the game necessarily Middleton's hurt a lot let's go get a closer and a great score Dame so yeah now we can look back at hindsight but it was a good move at the time so that listen the day Milwaukee traded for Dame we all loved it yeah everyone loved it so that I that I think can't be revision revised you know we can't do revision history on that you're clearly not the question is this would Milwaukee have made that trade if they knew Drew was going to get rerouted to Boston oh that's a good question and I think the answer is probably no I think they they felt for what we need Dame has you know is better for us than Drew would be but it's not because they thought Drew stunk it's not because they didn't think Drew was a useful player and they did it because one of the teams they needed to make sure they get pass was Boston and they didn't think Drew was going right they sent him West they didn't this is where Brad Stevens deserves a ton of credit is for immediately seizing on that and getting Drew holiday so I you know that we said this after game one when Drew or game two whatever game Drew had that great game I showed you on my notes where I had written down the Bucks do the Bucks deserve a ring for the Celtics winning a championship if they do I just don't think the Bucks would have done it if they knew hey in a week he ends up with Boston so that to me I I think embiid's take is a good take and I don't think his knee issues or playoff failure should mean he can't give Sports takes Joel he better be in the wait room on this right uh Nick are you ready to admit that you Andrew underestimated the Celtics you can answer for yourself yes and I have been blown away by their defensive execution and the fact that their best most decorated player even last night is still struggling yeah and the idea that it's not like oh he knows he's struggling so he's deferring he's taking 15 more shots than anyone on the team he's gunning and it's not you know he's not scoring and the fact that they have I I talked about questioning their depth past Horford how every minute Howser's given them has been a good one and damn Tilman comes in Off the Bench and plays good defensively and does that right and so I absolutely underestimated that the I I was wrong that the Celtics wouldn't be ready for the degree liftting competition I did Slough off to a degree their gudy regular season record because I don't think they have the guy the way that every other great team has the guy or historically great team and defensively in my opinion this is a Tor to force team defense performance so yes like I that that is not a straw man that is fair I I missed it on them and it's not for lack of watching it it's because I'm like yeah but in a series I think Tatum might look like this I and he did and it doesn't matter which speaks to the depth of the overall team and Missoula who I've been a huge critic of has done a hell of a job like that's where I come out obviously I underestimated them as well and have been all year and Joe Missoula I have put him on the hot seat a few times Hot Seat several times but Joe Missoula deserves a contract extension he's only got three years $14 million left on this deal JJ reck's probably gonna get more than that give this man a raise all right I like Joe I like Joe now I like the press conferences I like your demeanor all of it Joe I did underestimate them also like you said they don't have a Luca a Giannis a embiid if he's ever healthy a joker like and typically those are the teams that do win championships this would I mean we've talked about now are they more like the 04 Pistons that was the last team the 04 that was 20 years ago not have superar CS because no I mean I I don't think any of these I mean look we'll see in time but Garnett Pierce and Ray and at that point they were far more veteran than these guys are so I would say that but I I did think the three-point Reliance would would bite them at some point it hasn't because of the defense they're only shooting 34% from three but their defense is so Stout that they're getting it done so credit to the Boston Celtics uh this team is playing phenomenal so I just want to you know I definitely underestimate it all right so they're 79 and 20 15-2 in the postseason they haven't lost since May 9th if they go 80 and 20 I think I have this right the last team to go 80 and 20 was the 86 887 Lakers like Prime Showtime Lakers so on paper well 80 is that what about the the 72 win Bulls no so that's I know they didn't go 80 and but you're talking about exactly 80 and 20 me exactly exactly he's not saying nobody's done it he's saying the last team to put up that exact number yes so are you are so is that fair because on paper it is so here's what I think and I know we're going to talk more about if they're historically great or not later I I will use the 04 Pistons as an example again which I brew I think Brew was the first one to say but but the the 04 Pistons are considered as a great story that had a massive upset but a bit of a oneoff the next year they were in game seven of the finals obviously I think it was was it game six or game seven that that she didn't they could have won that Series right if they had won and then after that they went to three straight conference finals but they didn't break through again if they had won that next year we would think more highly of the 04 team absolutely and so I I the I will use the Nuggets of last year as an example the Nuggets of last year have won alltime great player but not an overwhelming supporting cat if they had won the title again this year we would think about them oh that might have been that's an all-time team you know what I mean like it one star but build all of it I I don't think when you actually make the list of the all-time teams that I'm comfortable yet putting and when we're talking all time you're talking about like top 25 champions of all time sure maybe but if we're talking top 10 the top 10 teams no and I I know they have the record of like Fringe top 10 but to me no the answer to that is no and and look a part of why I underestimated him to was we've seen them fail so much and it not just they're getting but they can't break through I'm not just talking about 22 finals when they lost to Golden State I'm talking about going out in the first round to uh uh teams I'm talking about losing to Miami time and time again you view this te like maybe Drew is like the line but the core was Tatum and brown and so that played into my thinking too like they just haven't been able to get over the and that's what brown said by the way after the game was like we've been all year hearing about the last eight years but that we're a different team and they are like they are they deserve credit Lakers coaching search next on FS1 Fox Sports you on series SE am oh this is actually looks cool to be honest with you he looks strong there I'm very strong obviously
