Yanis had 18 in the fourth quarter during that comeback of Wednesday night's season opener, last night's season opener against the Celtics.

A TD Garden?

Um, but the two time Most Valuable Player he's the reigning and defending consecutive M V p of the N B A, at least in the regular season, wasn't thinking about that after the game.

He was thinking about the point.

He didn't score because he hits that free throw.

They go into overtime.

By the way, I felt that he should not have been on the line.

I thought that was a goal, tend and and therefore the point should have counted.

And they should have already been in overtime, right?

But they weren't.

He had the ice, the free throws and he missed, he said after the game, because he missed the second free throw with four seconds remaining would have put him in o t.

I'm upset about it, finished with 35 13 and 36 minutes.

By the way last year, Yanis I'm rounding up and I'm doing it off top my head, but I think it was 30 13 and, like six with a block and a steal a game or something like that, by the way, in 30 minutes a game, 35 13 and 36 minutes last night, his first game since signing his five years Supermax contract with Milwaukee earlier this month.

But you can't change it, so it's done.

Hopefully, when I'm in the same position, I could make the next one.

That's the mentality you've gotta have.

I'm a winner and I want to do whatever it takes for my team to win.

But, you know, you learn from every situation the basketball puts you in.

What happened on that final sequence on the missed free throws?

You honest?

Let's hear you say the things I just said and then I told you, Just throw the ball high, Throw it, Haven't tried to go get it.

You have 0.4 seconds.

Just if you don't see if Chris now wide open, it does not wide open.

I think.

No, no, that's Pat's now wide open.

Just throw the ball high and tried to go get it.

Probably made.

The first one is the second one, you know that was it.

That was it, by the way, Tatum hit the hit, the game winning shot.

It's not like he called Glass, you know?

Stop it.

He's a nice step back.

Tatum is a dangerous offensive player, but they were a little lucky the Celtics to win that game, and they had a big lead in the Bucks came back on them.

But the story of the game was actually the Celtics.

That's the headline from the game.

And who on the Celtics was the headline Jalen Brown?

Because Jalen Brown, it turns out maybe just about as good as Jason Tatum.

And the truth is, that's been the case for a couple of years.

But we all saw in Tatum or upside we saw him or polished overall offensive game.

And so we thought, Yeah, there, there.

One A and one b.

But Tatum's gonna start to put distance between between himself and Jalen.

That has not happened as it's not, and it's not because Tatum hasn't developed.

He has.

Jalen Brown is just that good boy he is.

Perkins was talking about it on first take today, when you talk about the elite to weigh wings in the N B a Where's Jalen Brown?

Fit in.

Now you think about like the team's totally differently.

No Kemba for a while this season.

And when it comes back, who knows what you have?

No Gordon Hayward, right?

But you bring interest in Thompson.

Some size could play.

Marcus Smart is a beast when it counts, especially.

And the main thing is you have two wings who are elite, right?

If Jalen Brown keeps this up, Yeah, the Celtics air deep, Thai, Isis or tedious or Thais?

Or how are you supposed to say his name?

Pronounce all these German names?

Maxie.

Cleber is somehow Clipper, and I should know how to pronounce it better, because I speak you some Yiddish so like I should understand.

But Thais.

Okay, whatever you say.

I don't know.

It was spelled T.

I see in America I would get Thais, but it's spelled Theis, but it's called Thais.

Okay, but he's good, by the way.

The Celtics have above average minimum at every position, and they have depth and they have coaching.

They're really, really good.

They were lucky to beat the Bucks last night.

Let's be honest.

They were lucky to be the they were lucky to hit the game winner.

They were lucky.

And by the way they built built a big lead.

Yanis went nuts.

There was nothing they could do.

They got lucky on Tatum shot.

They got lucky on the non goaltender call.

That should have been a goal, tend, I guess, because they called the foul before that.

And they got lucky that Yannis missed the free throw and that they didn't get the rebound.

Right.

A lot of luck for the Celtics toe.

Barely beat the Bucks.

But the East is a beast nowadays, Period.

The Bucks, the Celtics, the Sixers.

Did you see, By the way, that was straight talk wireless.

Everything for less on Lee at Walmart.

Did you see this, dude?

Tyreese, Maxie?

How many minutes did he play last night for the Sixers?

Because he was picked in 20 something.

He should been a lottery pick, No doubt.

Didn't even play that much.

But this dude is a baller.

Ah, baller, by the way.

Bad for James Harden.

Because if I'm the Nets, I'm not sacrificing that depth for James Harden.

When I have unselfish players who can go get their own shot like den Witty or Caris Levert, but are willing to either come off the bench or not over dribble and give up the ball for the two superstars.

I'm not messing with that for James Harden, who doesn't have chemistry with Chris.

Paul doesn't have gets his own guy in there in Westbrook, his boy.

And they don't have chemistry on court, even his boy.

And now he wants out and he's 32 years old and he's a ball stopper.

I don't want that if I'm the Nets, and if I'm the Sixers, I'm not giving up Ben Simmons after the way I saw k d play, I need a defense on K D.

Who else could defend him like no one's gonna really stop him one on one.

But the best dude available is gonna be Ben Simmons.

I'm not giving that up.

If that's the team I have to face.

You see when they surrounded and beat with shooters, by the way, and played five out, or at least and beat, you know.

Ah, running kind of like point center.

Whoa, that's tough.

But this dude Maxie is a baller and shake.

Milton is showing you that last year was not a fluke.

He can actually ball six is gonna be a problem.

And by the way, yeah, Look, Seth Curry stunk.

And Danny Green's old He doesn't move on defense the way he used Thio, but Danny Green.

And if he has the worst year of his career, what's gonna shoot 35% from three and at least have a physical presence on defense and set like Seth Curry and Danny Green ain't missing all their threes all year.

Folks, that didn't happen.

And they're gonna get a lot of threes.

And they didn't hit any last night, basically, and the six were still look pretty good.
