 All right, 33 points right there for Jaylen Brown as the Celtics get to win 129 to 102. They're 56th win of the season. Some significance there. We can talk about that later. We got Eddie house, Chris Forsberg with us, Drew and Skal in Detroit. And guys, we'll start with you in Detroit. It just, it feels like it doesn't matter who's out of the lineup. And Drew likes to ask the question before every game. Lee, who's going to step up? Someone always does. Someone always does, Drew. Yeah. And again, Giles, just like you're stepping up in the studio with Amina not there anymore as Peyton Pritchard steps up, Luke Hornet, of course, steps up. And Peyton Pritchard, you know, he didn't do a whole lot in the second half compared to the first half, but I think the second quarter Wednesday against Milwaukee and then the first half tonight. I mean, you see just how good he can be. And again, it's, it's for a team where he's almost a luxury. I mean, they're so loaded. You know, what's interesting is like, sometimes you have a team and there are some guys that are playing above their heads, right? They're just like, man, this guy's having a career year. I don't know if this guy can sustain it. Maybe he can't do it next year. It's almost as we're watching and you start to see guys out. It's actually like maybe guys are actually sacrificing and maybe we're thinking they're having sort of career years, but actually they're capable of so much more. And I, I kind of think that about our bench. They don't get to credit when people talk about all this bench is not, it's not good enough. How they're going to win in the playoffs. You think about guys like Derek White or Drew Holiday. You know, we, we know we have our superstar players and what they give you. And maybe even you could say Jason Tatum and Jalen Brown could probably do more too. But you know, everybody on this team seems to be sacrificing and everyone is loving the opportunity to have a night where they get to play more, shoot more, or just be involved in the action a lot more. Who is that guy who came up to you in the elite media dining room here in Detroit and said, I don't know about your guys in the playoffs. I don't think they're deep enough. Who was that? You don't have to put them on blast. But I'm not going to do that. Guys, that's a common narrative. And I just think it's flat wrong. I think you're not paying attention if you think the Celtics aren't deep. I mean, look at the way Luke Cornette has improved, the way Peyton Pritchard has clearly improved guy was asking for trades last year. And now he's one of their most important contributors off the bench. Sam Hauser, we know what he's doing. So and then Al Horford usually comes off the bench. If you think the Celtics don't have a deep bench, you're crazy. Yeah. Eddie, what did you think of the role players, the depth guys and the way they stepped up tonight? I think about it like this. Let's put it all in a nutshell, right? When Derek White first came to the team, everybody was like, okay, D White, he's a good player. But you know, is he that guy that's going to help them get to the promised land, right? To get over the hump. And it's all about getting comfortable. You know, if you are a player and you know where your minutes are, and you know what you could bring and you got to give Brad Stevens a ton of credit for picking the right guys, for knowing, I'm going to get winning players, number one. I'm going to get guys that could be selfless, selfless, but at the same time affect winning in many different ways. And I think that's what we're seeing from our bench. Yeah, they're not big, big name players. They're not, you know, they're not the guys that you're going to jump off the page when you say their names and people think like, oh, these guys are automatically going to help this team be better. No, but if you watch the Celtics play, these are the guys that are going to help them win a championship. The Peyton Pritchard, the Luke Cornets, the Sam Housers, the Derrick White, the Drew Holidays. I know Drew Holiday already won a championship, but the fact of the matter, these are all winning players that love to play the game of basketball. These are all Hoopers Hoopers. The Celtics are treating some of these back to backs like splits, squad, spring training games, they're sending three starters to Jupiter, three starters down to the floor. Like it's amazing to me. If you think this team is in deep and you're watching like the way they're treating the rest of the starters on this team and making sure that everybody's upright for the playoffs, you are truly not paying attention. But Drew, I threw it at Scali the other night. So I'll try to phrase it differently. Like which of these bench guys is going to be most vital when the playoffs roll around? Like does Sam need to get like be the guy knocking down shots? Does Luke have to give you that extra big off the bench? Which guy is most vital? Besides that, give me, yeah, no, like, and we're all none of us are mentioning David Tillman as well who started tonight. Yeah, like I think Luke, I think everything Joe was trying to incorporate him. Give me the game. Give me the series. Give me the situation. Give me who's in who's out. We have two days off her. There's a lot of variables into who's going to be the guy or who's gonna. And I think if you look at a Peyton Pritchard in the way that he created energy in that Milwaukee game, man, if he goes out there in a playoff game, instead of playing three to four minutes in a stint, maybe he goes six to seven minutes in that stint. So, you know, I think the biggest problem moving forward after all of this as we go through this whole thing would be, I think everybody in the NBA and Eddie included me included, like you always want to maximize your role. And I think the Celtics have a really good problem. The really good problem is they got a lot of good players that deserve to play and they're figuring it out right now. But man, these guys are showing a tremendous amount of success when they get their individual opportunities. And what does that lead to in the future? But this is not a problem for us this year as we heading or as we get closer to the playoffs. I will see what it looks like again tomorrow night is I would assume that you're going to have a totally different looking starting lineup as always. Let's get up with Abby. Meanwhile, Jalen, what kind of rhythm did you find here on the floor? You were perfect from two. The only shots you missed were from three. Just trying to be aggressive coming out. We know we have some players out just trying to find our teammates. I ended up with no assistant. I thought I made some good passes, but outside of that, I was just being aggressive. Yeah, missing two starters. When Jason doesn't play, you're averaging over 32 points a game. How does the approach change? Because I know you're always aggressive to start. Yeah, just keep being aggressive with playing a little bit faster and just trying to get into a rhythm from on defense and offense and let the game kind of take care of itself. Here in Detroit, P rabbit came out in that starting lineup. What does it do for you guys when he is that aggressive? Yeah, he came out on fire like in the first half. I was like, it's his show. Let him keep running. He was playing well, making the right play. So when we got our guys rolling like that, that's important. So we want to empower our guys to continue to play like that and reward them. So, you know, in the next couple of games, be looking to play through with some of our guys to get them feeling good about themselves. Yeah, pretty good start to this season long trip. How are you challenging this team on this road trip? More as a battle of focus, battle of mindset. We kind of came out and went through the motions, allowed Detroit to get comfortable. But we came out and we executed. No, we didn't play around. Even we're down a couple of players still came out into the career business. So that's the most important thing. Jaylin, thank you. Congrats. Thank you. All right. Thank you. Abby 129 102. The final score. Celtics getting the victory in Detroit. Game one of six here on the road. We're going to take a quick break. More Celtics post game live comes your way after this.
