Celtics PRIDE: Reacting to Games 1 + 2 Jun 07, 2022

Show notes

The C’s are shipping up to Boston tied 1-1 with the Golden State Warriors, an ideal start to the NBA Finals… right? Mike, Josh and Adam discuss the first two games of this Finals series, taking stock of how they’re feeling after the C’s stole Game One before getting blown out in Game 2. Is the sky falling? Is everything puppies, sunshine, and lollipops? Are they somewhere in between? The Pride crew evaluates how the C’s played in each of Games 1 and 2, and look for encouraging – and troubling signs, as they note the two different versions of the C’s continuing to show up. One version moves the ball quickly and efficiently, leading to open shots and allowing their league best defense to consistently get set. The other version quickly and efficiently turns the ball over, allow the other team to get fast breaks and momentum – and to set their own elite defense. Then, Mike breaks his own code to not discuss the refs by lamenting the absurdity of some of the calls that favored Golden State – and Draymond Green in particular. Adam calls Mike out, but he’s determined to make his case. Josh challenges Mike to claim the NBA must be rigged… does Mike take the bait? At minimum, Mike asks the referees get more artful when granting favor to one team over another. “I’m bringing them up in Game 2 of the NBA Finals when Zach Zarba and Tony Brothers and crew… not only allowed Draymond Green to tackle Grant Williams, but then had the audacity to call a foul on Grant Williams for that tackle.” Mike Minkoff Then the guys look ahead to Game 3 and talk about what adjustments they think the Celtics need to make as they head home. Stick with the two big lineup or shift things around? Different offensive initatiors? More – or less – time for role players like Grant Williams and Payton Pritchard? And, finally, Josh asks Adam and Mike whether they believe – as young Josh once did – that defense wins championships. Or has this series, and their NBA fandom in recent years, shifted that perspective. Check it all out, on Celtics Pride.

Celtics PRIDE: Game 4 Instant Reaction, Ep 100 May 24, 2022

Show notes

The Celtics PRIDE Podcast is celebrating episode 100 with an instant reaction to the Celtics Game 4 win over the Miami Heat. It's a solo episode for Josh Motenko as he recounts how the Celtics won game 4, and attempts to give some big picture perspective on the series with the Miami Heat as a whole. The Heat were 0-14 from the field to start the game due to the Celtics defensive intensity and the basketball gods putting a lid on the rim the Heat players were shooting at. Meanwhile Derrick White had the first half the Celtics needed from their point guard with Marcus Smart out of the lineup, as White scored the Celtics first 7 points of the game all by himself. He added 3 steals, and sold some important foul calls against the Heat that lead to Boston shooting an astounding 26 free throws in the half (including 14 from Jayson Tatum alone). In this short episode, Coach Josh breaks down what went well for the C's, and how Jaylen Brown and Tatum responded after their less-than-desirable performances in Game 3 on Saturday. The Celtics are now 5-0 after a loss in the 2022 playoffs, and are 2-2 in the series going into game 5 in Miami Wednesday.
