Nik and Jack are back with another Boston Celtics podcast. In this one, they discuss the Celtics' 144-106 preseason win over the Philadelphia 76ers, including how elite their defense was. Let us know…
Jack SimoneHostI'm great, man.
I'm the same as you.
I'm fired up, man.
R- we're gonna get right into it.
Offense, d- defense, the process, it was ridiculous.
Like, it's v- very rare that a preseason game gets everybody so excited.
And it's not just, well, they obviously hit a, a bunch of shots, though.
But the way they were playing, man, the way they were playing.
I think the offense for, like, the first six minutes were like, "Yeah, these guys haven't played in a long time." But that was only them hitting shots.
The action was great.
They were, uh, getting two on, they were getting two on the ball, and they were, uh, creating adva- advantages.
They just couldn't hit sh- shots, uh, for, like, the first couple of minutes, and then Mitch Robinson g- got that, that, uh, put back off the blind pig.
So, but, like, [laughs] like, the defense was ridiculous, man.
... five steals in this game.
They had five steals in this game.
And we saw this a little bit in the Cleveland game, where they were recovering for each other so well.
And then when you add in, like, Tatum, Paul George, Derrick White, guys who are tremendous off-ball defenders.
And then you have Jordan Walsh running around everywhere, and you have Mitch Robinson and Cato on the back line, and then comes in Shaman, Ugo, and Dylan Mitchell and Chris.
They come in and there's no drop-off.
Like, they're athletic as shit.
They're, they're, they're, they're long.
They, like, the Se- I promise, I promise, I, I'll let you talk in, like, two secs.
