 Derek what came over you in the fourth hit four threes helped to put this thing away I'm just getting great looks. I'll see a lot of attention everybody else in Got wide-open looks like I knock them down That starting unit had 29 assists in this game. How fun is it when the ball is moving like that? Yeah, it's a lot of fun. We've got so many weapons I mean obviously Drew is out tonight, but Al stepped up huge made so many winning plays for us And it's a lot of fun playing that way This is in the Atlanta Hawks one of the better offenses in the league. How are you guys able to hold them off? Just enough Yeah, I mean still 117s a lot and they're a great offense. I see trade does a lot for them and That's up to slow down, but Sure Joe's gonna get honest a lot in the locker room about it and we gotta learn from it get better from it That being said how much you enjoy? How much did you enjoy the spry Al Horford get him some time off? He looks so fresh out there tonight. I was amazing I thought you could really say about Al He does so many things for us on the court off the court that just help us win games and he's amazing there. Thank you Congratulations. Appreciate it Garden also a big fourth quarter for Derrick white scowl joining us live right now court side and scowl Derrick white with four May threes in the fourth quarter Just what levels does Derrick white go to when the game is on the line? It was crazy the shot he made in front of the Atlanta Hawk pinch It was almost as if he was fading out of bounds kind of like that Sean Elliott back in the day Probably you weren't even born with that happen me to Smith, but he had his tip toes on and he was letting it fly I just thought that shot right there got him going and it's almost at this And I'm tell me if I'm wrong with you guys when it's the fourth quarter and Derrick white gets an open three I'll be shocked if he misses any of those so Derrick white kind of opened this game up for us Gave us that cushion I talked about this a lot with the Celtic team. We got a lot of ways to win We got a big margin of error in the first half We didn't shoot the ball well from three, but we got inside second half It was all about the three and sport quarter definitely about the three and Derrick whites play and what way though Also did Derrick white step up in the absence of Drew holiday tonight? So That's a great question. I mean if there was a point where you know Drew holiday likes to work that low dunker I know a lot of people don't know that spot. That's like underneath the basket Well, it switches things up so you don't have to play five out a lot of guys don't want to make that sacrifice Derrick white has no problem He stretches the floor and then there are times in possessions where he's going down and working that dunker Your spacing is so much better guys like porzingas get a wide open look Brown and Tatum have more driving lanes So he takes the sacrifice of offensively of like, you know what? I'll sacrifice some of my stuff and go down here and work it and remember that Al Horford play when he drove to the middle and Derrick white relocated on the baseline. Well, that's a usual Drew holidays box and defensively He was great like Derrick white never stopped pursuing the ball He was relentless at trying to get to screens on Trey young you took that challenge And if you kind of look at it Trey young was asked to be an all-star today And it looked like Derrick white took that personal to add the commissioner Adam Silver ended up picking Trey young and now Derrick white kind of made it known like even though You got Trey young and the fan boat. I'm the real all-star here in this game And also you mentioned Al Horford 14 points eight rebounds eight assists also four blocks in tonight's game Scout it looked like Al Horford turned back the hands of time the knees still work The body looks good. The days of rest have done him. Well, what was his impact in this game? I think you called it if you look at the You know the grueling month of January where those games are coming at you rapid fire and you know You're trying to get your footing on you and I thought Al Horford had you know a decent January But you could tell so you had two days off a game two days off And now you're playing Atlanta and that made a big difference like the Celtics just look completely different out there They look fresh and Al Horford in particular just he was reacting really well. The shot was coming off his hands Really well, I mean besides I think at one point he was four for six from three misses last three But I mean come on when Al Horford is playing like that and stretching before he's making defensive plays And we weren't great as a team defensively Al Horford was great defensively for us We talked about Derrick white and how much he means to the Celtics team 21.6 rebounds and seven assists And of course, he's got a steal and a block as well Eddie. I'll start with you Just how was Derrick white able to impact this game? In all the ways you just named, you know, whether it be scoring whether it be rebounding the basketball Helping on the defensive end doing the things he needs to do getting strips getting steals Getting block shots. He's always a guy that he just does the right things. He makes all the winning plays He does it all the time and some nights It's not gonna be on the scoring end of where you look at the box scoring you like man, you know He filled the box core up with this that and the other sometimes it's just being a disruptor You know and the threat of being a guy that can knock down shots and I think scowl said it You know, he played around where true holiday plays around a lot in that dunker spot with that short corner area To where you know, it's you're not playing five out all the time and he's able to cut and his basketball IQ was so high He's able to just go out there and play his game to me. He did take just a little bit personal You know understanding that he had opportunity to possibly make the all-star game knowing trade Trey young was called in to be one of the Feelings, you know the reserves a guy that came in because somebody wasn't there So I think Derrick white is a soft-spoken guy number one You don't really know he doesn't wear his emotions on his sleeve So you don't know what he's thinking a lot But his actions on the court let you know exactly what he's thinking when he goes out there and plays I'll just say a minute. Do you think Derrick white is patty? Oh Honestly, like I look at Derrick white and what he did tonight. I'm like, this is typical Derrick white to me So I can't tell if he's doing it because you know put on the all-star as an injured replacement As opposed to him, but I feel like this is just a typical night for Derrick white All I know the Celtics two best players on the floor tonight were Derrick white and Chris stops for the biggest two players who probably had A little bit of motivation after what Adam Silver came out and announced yesterday And I do think they don't worry about like who's on the other side or the circumstance around that They just want to go out there and be great on a night-to-night basis But I do think there's something in the back of every athlete's mind That's just a little reminder when you look across and they're like they put that guy in there That guy who plays for a team that is scraping to get in the play-in that guy who was eight for 25 tonight And Derrick's white, you know what? I'm just gonna go out there and take over the fourth quarter do what I do Like I don't want to disrespect. I don't want to do the it because like, you know I that was the it's thing king in the fourth But derrick has been really good in fourth quarters this year He needs to be more in there and he needs some sort of like my time right now Now you made the case where now I feel like derrick white and chris dad's Pozing is they were trying to stick it to the mba for not being named all stars. I like being petty, so That's probably what it is. Chris had Pozing is with 31.3 rebounds and it assists as well
