Tatum Vs Brown Became A CIVIL WAR...

Tatum vs Brown turned into a civil war. Here's Brown against Tatum, Tatum nearly got the strip, Brown lost the basketball, out Fly. Take a drive. Take a drive. Paul George went nuclear from downtown. And And Dame time took us back to his glory days. But we gotta start in Philly for the most anticipated matchup of the season thus far, the Battle of the Jays. And the drama started way before tip-off with this epic pre-game intro on NBC. It's not no f***ing boxing match, like, there's no animosity, there's no beef. There's no beef, but, you know, it might be a little lamb chops and some gravy. As for the questions of the emotions this night will bring? Uh, we gonna find out. They got some really good players over there. I'm sure this got all NBA fans hyped up, let's go! Everyone was eager to see how Tatum and Brown would meet at center court, and things got super awkward when… Kudos to JT, he tried his best but Brown wasn't having it. He looked laser focused to start his revenge game. And he had the entire arena behind him. Just listen to the boos on Tatum's first touch of the basketball. That's 1-0 for JB and on the very next possession they went mano y mano. Brown stumbles and loses the ball then starts complaining to the refs. And Tatum continued with his great defense, this time on Joel Embiid. 20 seconds later, Walsh sets an off-ball screen to free up Jason, who has all this space for him and finishes the easy deuce. On the other hand, after Embiid's miss, Jalen kept his awareness high to steal the pass by White and... Derek White draws the charge which happened to be Brown's second personal after 5 minutes of action. This leads us to an electric sequence on both ends of the court. Tatum drills the 3 over Maxi moving with surgical precision on one end. But then Brown responds with a vicious slam through the heart of the Celtics defense. Give me 40 more minutes of this please. Unfortunately, we didn't see much of them till the second half as Brown was benched due to foul trouble while Tatum went cold shooting the ball. Just 1 of 5 in the second quarter. But we saw plenty of this guy. To LeBron. From George, long stride for two. Four the other way, George for three, yes sir! And ready to go, now for the slow start, Brown is now up to 8 points, two rebounds, two assists. That one's short, George follows his miss, and that's going to be the third foul on the P.G. got busy in the second period, reminding people that he's still an elite player. And more importantly, he sent Brown back to the bench because of his third foul. It had to be painful for J.B. to watch helplessly how the Celtics are taking over the show. Working on Wade, seven to shoot, tier prizes. Philly needed it, just three for 15 from the outside. George lit up the net on 7 of 11 shooting from the field in the first half, building a double-digit lead against his former team. And for things to get worse for Philly, Joel Embiid took not one, but two scary falls late in the second period. Claps by James. What an outlet for Embiid. He missed it. Embiid falls hard and he's down. Look out for Edgerton. He'll be safe on the way down as Embiid just finally gets up. That's one way to dunk on your teammate, but Embiid hobbling back the other way is for the former MVP, Joel Embiid, keeled over after falling and what looked like hurting something in that ankle foot area. Remember he's been dealing with a foot injury, plantar fasciitis has been what he's been playing through over the last two weeks or so, and we'll see if he can walk it off and try to get some treatment during the half. Embiid got hit multiple times which left this VJ dunk over him go unappreciated. Luckily for Sixers fans, Joel looked fine at the start of the second half. Jojo finally breaks his infamous streak of missing 22 straight threes hitting that one from the top of the key. But Tatum answered that right away. Is conditioning a big reason for some early success this season down 10 pounds from last A minute later, Brown got a chance to keep the shootout flaring, but instead… Jalen didn't have quite the performance he was hoping for. On the contrary, Jason came up with the play of the game when… Oh my goodness! Tatum posterizes LeBron James just like he did 8 years ago in his rookie season. And when I put both dunks side by side, I realized that the score was identical. What? This is ridiculous coincidence right there. Anyway, V.J.'s finish on the other end was just as ridiculous. Embiid right back to Maxi, so quick with the ball, bounce it, and it's come! The challenge counted! Wow, that was an insane athletic play, he was able to put it from behind the backboard. The Sixers got into a groove finally and started chewing off the deficit little by little. Damn, that was deep. Maxi was up to his standards as usual, putting up 24 points on 67% efficiency as he tied the game late in the third. But what followed was a three-point avalanche by the Celtics. Man, he is good. He's only getting better. Pritchard again. Shooter's touch, P-Rabbit, tight defense, from Wade, Tatum, shimmy shake, Hauser, that's a lot of space, and he buries another one. Boston finished the quarter on a 12-3 run, heading into the final period up by 9 points. But the crazy part is that they took their 3-point shooting to a whole nother level when... George has 22 in his return to Philly. Open look, Pritchard again, and again he sticks it. That's it. That's it. P.G. and Pritchard kept throwing bombs in Philly, putting them up by 18 points and triggering the panic button for Nick Nurse. But once a scorer like George gets that deep into his bag, there's nothing you can do about it. Philly's going to have one final run in them. For another 10-plus point comeback. And George throws the contact and converts. The hoop in harm. And PG-13 has turned rated R. But George also did mention, he said, you know, I think I got them a piece for the future. Right now, he is the present for the Celtics. He is cooking. Swing at George. Open look. Can dump it inside, Tatum back outside, George shooting practice, and this is not right, Paul George has found nothing but nylon through this second half Paul motherfucking George explodes for 14 straight points in a span of 4 minutes to blow the lead completely out of proportion. While everyone was focused on the battle of the Jays, it was PG-13 who stole the show in his forgotten comeback to Philly. And to put an artistic stamp on his vintage 36-point performance, during a timeout in the fourth he did this to a particular courtside fan and gave us a scoop of why he did it. Yeah, there was a fan being an asshole, ball rolls, he looked me dead in my eyes, dropped the ball on the ground as if I'm a dog to go fetch or go get it, instead of passing the ball to me like a normal fan would do. Yeah, it was a night to forget for the entire Sixers organization as we clearly see who is the winner here. Regardless, Brown carried that same indifferent attitude into the post game interview. Everything else was just, to be honest, I wasn't paying attention. But, you know, credit to Jason. He played well tonight. Credit to the Celtics. They executed. They shot the hell out of the ball. And they were the better team tonight. While Tatum was just happy it's finally over. My follow-up to that is, well, why do some wins feel different than others? I'm going to say they all count as one, right? No game is bigger than the other, definitely, in the regular season. You know, it's one game. You know, the hoopla is over, and now we get on ready for tomorrow. Moving on to Portland, where Isaiah Hartenstein put Donovan Clingan in his little pocket. Get another three to go. Clingan. The force rejected at the rim, Hartenstein. How about that? Up top, hard to stop. From the front row, he grabbed that. Hartenstein owned the paint against Clingan, coming up with a couple of spectacular plays. But it was the Blazers who owned the second half, because... Portland executed a ginormous 27-9 stretch to finish the third quarter and Dame saved the best for last. Even with Caruso chasing him and the Spanish giant in front of him, Lillard drains the logo three to beat the clock and put his team up by 17 with his 25th point of the night. He reminded everyone of his glory days on that one. And he had the luxury to stay on the bench in the fourth quarter because the others had the game under control. Then he's going to work. Step back, mid-range, stop. Again? Abdi and Sissoko added 24 and 17 points respectively in the dominant win at the end, and Giannis and the Heat were hoping for a similar scenario going up against the wounded Utah Jazz. And they were on the right path, building a 20-point lead heading into the final period. But then, Isaiah Collier happened. Well, Collier with eight fourth-quarter points, Pella surrounded, lost the ball, and here comes Utah. Collier steps into the three. We'll be right back. Way too much time for Isaiah Collier to load up, and another takeaway. It's an 11-point lead, it's a three again. Isaiah Collier erupted. What is going on? Collier erupts for 15 of his 17 points in the fourth quarter on a perfect 4 for 4 from downtown and cuts the lead to 8. Incredible. However, the Greek Freak simply couldn't afford to have another let down. So… We need a score to stabilize the game. In the Giannis, a throwdown. Oh, really well done by Damian. And his ninth of the year. Backing in, putting it in. That's what the Heat need to do, go right to Giannis. Giannis put his team on his back, bumping the lead back to 12 points with less than 4 minutes left to play. And when the Jazz tried to have one last push, the Heat kept them at distance with their defense. Rejected by Klay Thompson. Potential game-saving defensive play. 26 seconds left. Collier. Blocked by Ben Clay and Bam came up with back to back huge blocks to finally fend off the Jazz and improve their record to 5-6 at the moment. Giannis finished the game with 30 points and 10 boards on 57% from the field. Moving on to MSG now where my Knicks didn't have any problems handling the dead last Bucks. Kolek to Anunoby. You know, sneaker squealin'. Step back, corner three-pointer. In and out, and in again. OG Anunoby for his first three-pointer of the night. Kolek has played his way in off the bench now. Green blocked by Kolek. Kolek drives in, good defense, turns to easy offense. The Knicks put on a basketball clinic against Milwaukee, winning the game by a season record 32 points. So yeah, this was an all out civil war, everyone against everybody, but just yesterday it was Wemby against Humanity unveiling some moves that we thought were impossible. You gotta check out exactly what happened right here in this video. Talk to you in the next one, peace out. Are you kidding me, bro? Are you kidding me with that?
