 15 points in the fourth quarter here's fourth quarter for the Celtics in general as a JB with that talk right there getting a 15 in the final frame at Celtics postgame live Tom Giles Eddie house Celtics get to win 135 to 100 Eddie and it would just seem like fourth quarter they just decided you know what we're that much better than you and despite the fact that Oklahoma City tried to play their way back in the third quarter Celtics just flexing on him in the fourth. Yeah they did defense you know it started with the defense the ball movement at 33 assists on 50 field goals they shared the wealth they shared the basketball Well Port Zingas had a hell of a game but I thought defensively is where they hunkered down and I really did like our pace we dictated the pace whether it was off a defense playing fast we played fast but execution in the half court I thought we did a really great job of doing those two things is controlling the pace and having great execution in the half court as well. 17 points in that fourth quarter for Oklahoma City as you bring up that defense Celtics also and you just get now in transition you know creating something out of nothing and they get to 60 wins now on the season and we'll get to that in just a little bit with both of you and Scow because you guys you were on the team last time the Celtics won 60 games in a season but you brought up Chris out for Zingas he had 27 points it's the most he's had since the all-star break and I do believe we have Abby standing by with Chris out for Zingas right now. All right Chris stops you guys clinch the best record in the NBA. Sounds pretty good to me. We work hard all season long and and yeah we deserve it. Some great ball movement out here tonight beautiful dimes your touch pass was one of my favorites. How prepared do you guys feel as you are inching towards the postseason. Thank you. We feel good. We feel good. I think now everybody's healthy. At the right time we have a few games left and we want to finish the season strong no matter who we're playing against and head into the postseason with the right mindset. For you specifically the line you had tonight only one of their Celtic has done that. That's Robert Parrish. It's also the 13th straight game that you've scored at least 17 points. Is this the most consistent you've played the best you've played in your career. I don't think so to be honest I don't think so. Haven't shot the ball great except for tonight. Tonight I got back on track but I looked to like have everything clicking at the right time. I'm now I'm excited for that and yeah I want to finish the season strong and head into the postseason. Finally how nice was it to get back here to TD Garden. It looked like you're having so much fun out there you're smiling all night. Yes no I mean this is the best place to play basketball in and especially after a long road trip. Of course we have our fans everywhere but there's no place like like playing at home and and I enjoy this game so much. I love how honest he is too. They're ready just talking about the number one overall. See it's like yeah we deserve it. Yeah they do. And you know clinching that top seed with a handful of games to go here in the regular season. He's the first time that they've clinched the number one overall see it across the NBA since 2008 when you guys went on to win the championship and sticking back with Portuguese though I mean it was the 27 points 11 to 14 from the field but also the five blocks and they had a couple right at the rim that kind of changed things and kind of changed the momentum in this game. Yeah and he's been doing that all season long. He's been the rim protector. He's been the back line of our defense and whenever somebody gets beat as great as we are on the perimeter on our defense. We got him on the backside and people are worried about him. And you know he's being modest. He's saying he thinks I won't say he's being modest. He's not being truthful in one thing. He said this is not the best he's been playing in this stretch. Well it's the best he's been playing in a stretch to where it's meaningful basketball to where you have an opportunity to do something special. So like relishing that moment and I'm so happy for him because I know what he's went through you know being the guy in New York to where they thought that this was going to he was going to change that franchise to the experiment in Dallas and then going and getting in Siberia in Washington and coming to you know basically basketball heaven the Boston Celtics and having the opportunity to play with the guy he's playing with and have fun doing it. I love everything that's going on for Kristoff's four zingas because it's been a lot of doubters and they say are saying things that you know is he a rebound or is he tough enough is he a rim protector. If that's not going to put them over the top. Well all season long he's been showing that he is a guy that has actually elevated everything that we do night in and night out. Yeah. Skal joining us now as well. And Skal what what are your thoughts on Kristoff's four zingas seeing him also get 27 tonight 11 of 14 from the field just as efficiently as he played and also the defense around the rim. Efficient role where he gets to switch and he just goes to work right over the guy there's nothing the defense can do about it defensively pursuing the ball getting these big time blocks. Yeah. We're doing this was awesome today. And then you add in the fact that he goes three for three from three. I mean the matchup nightmare and I was you know kind of watching this game saying I wonder why coaches haven't changed their defense against them. You know they don't want to fly around and give up the Celtics threes. I think they're OK with him shooting that shot and in the playoffs he's going to have big moments when he's doing that. So if he gets to switch because that's what teams do or blitz he's going to make guys pay. So I'm looking at it from a short term standpoint today but I'm also I think all of us are kind of looking towards the playoffs and it's going to be a real problem for a lot of people. Yeah. And speaking of the playoffs and the fact that the Celtics clinching the number one overall seed which was kind of it was inevitable. But last time it happened was 2008. You guys were both on that team. I don't know if you can remember that moment when you guys knew that you're going to be the number one overall seed across the NBA. But what does that carry Eddie. First off we knew we was I almost said the wrong word. I know you do. We understood what we was that. You know I'm saying so there was never a doubt in our mind what we were trying to accomplish and what we's going to be at. And I think this team has that same mentality though. I think they understand from you know the time that they went to the finals and lost that to last year losing in the conference fighting and coming back this year and being rebooted. I think they understand the task at hand and when you understand it it don't have to be talked about. You just go out there and handle business night in and night out and that's what this team has done. Now they have had times where you like man you know they let go of the rope. We say that but along 82 games season we weren't perfect either. But one thing we can say that night in and night out when you look at it at the record the totality everything we was out there certified as kickers. I just think it was amazing today that they were practicing some of their sets against the city thunder. So that just shows you how good they were and they won by 35. I mean that's but you know we know the Celtics are good. They can defend. I don't think the number one seed means anything like they're not going to pop you know bottles or anything like that from doing that. But I do I do think it's a heck of an accomplishment. And you know me and Eddie we love that bread. And so when you got the best record in the league you're a little bonus. You know everybody in the O8 team we love that bread. Get that extra get that extra cheese. Whatever it is man whatever it is we love it.
