00:00Aren't there one in three to start the year?

00:01They had hopes of getting off to a better start than that,

00:05especially after they both got injured in the playoffs

00:08last year.

00:09Middleton's still not ready.

00:10Like, there's some issues there with that Milwaukee team.

00:13And the biggest issue they had last night

00:14was Peyton Pritchard off the bench, who just could not miss.

00:17And you heard Dame Lillard talking about it right there.

00:19He said, this is a guy we talked about.

00:21This is someone you have to game plan for.

00:23And just think about that.

00:24I mean, you can't.

00:25You have to game plan for Tatum.

00:26You have to game plan for Brown.

00:27You have to game plan for Whiten.

00:29And in Holiday, and you also have

00:31to game plan for this little pipsqueak off the bench, who

00:35any given night can hand you 30 points just bombing

00:37threes from the logo.

00:38Yeah, I just, to me, it's a little Bella chicky.

00:41And I'm going to game plan for Tatum and Brown.

00:45And I'm going to work my way down.

00:46And guess what?

00:47If Pritchard beats me, tip of the old cap.

00:50Touche, my friend.

00:51We move on to the victor goes the spoils.

00:53Like, you can't go against the Celtics

00:56with any mentality of taking Peyton Pritchard away.

00:59You just can't.

01:00And I love him.

01:01And that's why this team is so good.

01:02Yep.

01:03Because I'll continue to say, at some point,

01:05Porzingis will be back.

01:07And that pushes Pritchard down just a little bit more

01:09in the offensive hierarchy of this team.

01:12But he is a fun player that I love his cockiness.

01:17He's had that all along.

01:18He clearly, I don't know if he was born with that

01:21or he picked that up along sort of the basketball way.

01:24And I know the whole scouting report on him

01:26was he was a four-year college player.

01:28So he played a lot of basketball.

01:29And he was good.

01:30And he kind of knew who he was coming into the league.

01:32Wasn't raw, one and done kind of guy.

01:34You know how much you have to believe in yourself

01:36to make that many half-court shots at the end of a quarter,

01:38at the end of a game, at the end of a half?

01:40Because I don't really believe that there

01:42are people out there who are much better than anyone

01:44else in the NBA at making that shot.

01:46I think that some people believe they're

01:48going to make that shot more than the others.

01:49And he's one of those people.

01:50I do.
