They being Indiana, Washington and the corporate, Uh, so I'm feeling a lot better about them.

他們是印第安納州，華盛頓州和企業，呃，所以我對他們感覺好多了。

They needed to step up, and that's exactly what they're doing.

他們需要加大力度，而這正是他們正在做的。

Remember, we never lamented them from a talent perspective.

記住，我們從來沒有從人才的角度去感嘆他們。

We know that Jalen Brown and Jason Tatum studs, and we know that even though Paul George had a big game, he didn't have a big game in the fourth quarter.

我們知道杰倫-布朗和傑森-塔圖姆種馬，我們知道即使保羅-喬治在第四節的比賽中表現出色，但他的表現並不出色。

A And be more importantly, it was primarily because of Jason Tatum and Jalen Brown and the way they defended against them, because he shot like 14 11 against them and was lights out against everybody else.

A而更重要的是，這主要是因為傑森-塔圖姆和杰倫-布朗，以及他們對他們的防守方式，因為他對他們的投籃命中率是14 11，而對其他人的投籃命中率卻很高。

So those brothers deserve a lot of credit.

But Kimball Walker's got to get most of the credit.

He had 25 what Max and I are both lamented last week was the fact that he clearly was not healthy.

他有25我和麥克斯上週都很惋惜的是，他顯然不健康。

His knee has been bothering, and we know what Kemba Walker can do when he's healthy.

他的膝蓋一直在困擾著，我們知道肯巴-沃克健康時能做什麼。

Here's the thing we pointed the finger at Brad Stevens, or at least I did and your damn it.

事情是這樣的，我們把矛頭指向了布拉德-史蒂文斯，至少我是這樣做的，你該死的。

I ain't apologizing for it because at the time he deserved it.

我不會為此道歉，因為在當時他是活該。

You gotta find the pulse of the team and peel out whatever is necessary.

你要找準團隊的脈搏，把需要的東西剝離出來。

Now, whatever has happened since he's been on the hot seat, it ain't just the players that has responded.

現在，不管他上了熱搜之後發生了什麼，不只是球員們有反應。

Problem is what he was doing up until a week ago was very unimpressive, and it looked like the team was going in the wrong direction.

問題是他在一週前所做的事情是非常不引人注目的，看起來球隊的方向是錯誤的。

And if you're going to point the finger at anybody else, why the hell should he get let off the hook?

如果你要把矛頭指向別人，為什麼要放他一馬？

But ever since that noise was percolating, particularly after they lost to Atlanta and and and Dollar, Gallinari gave them 38 For crying out loud, uh, we saw Brad Stevens be more demonstrative in this post his postgame interview than ever before, and ever since then they went in basketball games so major props to him because whatever modifications that needed to be made clearly he has made them as a coach as well.

但自從這種噪音被醞釀之後，特別是在他們輸給亞特蘭大和和和美元之後，加里納利給了他們38為了大聲喊叫，呃，我們看到布拉德-史蒂文斯在這後他的賽後採訪中比以往任何時候都更有示範性，從那時起，他們在籃球比賽中去了，所以主要支持他，因為無論需要做什麼修改，顯然他作為教練也做了這些修改。

Whatever conversations he may have had whatever motivational tactics he may have employed, whatever you want to point to, Brad Stevens has stepped up.

不管他可能有什麼對話 不管他可能採用了什麼激勵策略 不管你想指出什麼 布拉德-史蒂文斯已經站出來了。

He needed to step up based on the way they were looking and props to him for doing so thus far.

他需要根據他們的方式站出來，並支持他這樣做，到目前為止。

Now I totally disagree, and this just goes back to like, Here's some new evidence and you and I are exactly on the opposite side of it.

現在，我完全不同意，這只是回到喜歡，這裡有一些新的證據，你和我完全在它的對面。

不過，我不認為這是關於布拉德。

We both knew last week that this season, Kemba hadn't been Kemba.

我們上週都知道，這個賽季，肯巴已經不是肯巴了。

And Danny Ainge put a roster together, heavily reliant on Kemba being that playmaker in the backcourt in order to make it a real Big three on offense.

而丹尼-艾格組建的陣容，嚴重依賴肯巴成為後場的那個打手，才能在進攻中成為真正的三巨頭。

Now you can talk about defensive effort, and I can point to the fact that it's still going to get better when Marcus Smart gets back and he hasn't been there.

現在你可以談論防守努力，我可以指出，當馬庫斯-斯瑪特回來時，它仍然會變得更好，他還沒有在那裡。

But that also affected the offense because even if he's not a dynamic offensive player, he can play in the backward.

但這也影響了進攻，因為即使他不是一個有活力的進攻球員，他也可以在後衛中發揮作用。

So no Marcus smart and no real Kemba Walker and Kemba is too much of a leader to make excuses, even ask him now.

所以，沒有馬庫斯聰明，也沒有真正的肯巴-沃克，肯巴太有領袖氣質了，即使現在問他，他也不會找藉口。

Yeah, that's the reason he says he's playing better.

是的，這就是他說他打得更好的原因。

He's not gonna give you excuses is one of the things that makes him a real leader and a guy that they wanted in that locker room.

他不會給你找藉口，這也是讓他成為一個真正的領袖的原因之一，也是他們在更衣室裡想要的人。

We don't have to like it, but we know it's reality.

我們不必喜歡它，但我們知道這是現實。

And in fact, I'm sure you have mentioned this on the air in the past because everyone knows it in basketball.

而事實上，我相信你過去在直播中也提到過這一點，因為在籃球界大家都知道。

If you want a big man to play defense, what do you have to do if he runs the floor?

如果你想讓一個大個子來防守，那他要是跑動起來，你得怎麼辦？

You gotta feed him to get him to go on the other end, right?

你得喂他，讓他去另一端，對嗎？

Like people understand this, and that goes really for teams in a lot of respects, when you it shouldn't be this way, you should find the resolve to play defense.

就像大家明白這個道理，那真的是在很多方面對球隊來說，當你它不應該是這樣的時候，你應該找到防守的決心。

A good defense can lead to better offense.

好的防守可以帶來更好的進攻。

But the reality is when the offense is flat and things aren't going your way, it can take the energy out on the other end.

但事實上，當進攻平淡，事情不順心時，會讓另一端的能量流失。

Kemba Walker looks like Kemba Walker again, so now the offense is clicking again and So now the defense is being played with more intensity.

肯巴-沃克看起來又像肯巴-沃克了，所以現在的進攻又開始了，所以現在的防守也被打得更加激烈。

This was always, in my estimation, a Kemba Walker not being Kemba Walker issue and secondarily, not having Marcus Smart.

在我看來，這始終是肯巴-沃克不是肯巴-沃克的問題，其次是沒有馬庫斯-斯馬特。

Oh, and by the way, I'll say it again as I said it last week.

哦，對了，我再說一遍，因為我上週說過。

Look what happens when this dude is on the floor.

看看這傢伙趴在地上會發生什麼。

My feeling about the Celtics is exactly as it was.

我對凱爾特人的感覺就是這樣。

They need a healthy Campbell Walker period.

他們需要一個健康的坎貝爾-沃克時期。

Now it looks like, Well, first of all, let me say this.

現在看來，好吧，首先，讓我說一下。

Kemba Walker all of a sudden didn't get healthy the last three games.

肯巴-沃克最近三場比賽突然不健康了。

He's got 32 21 25 points over the last three games.

過去三場比賽他得到32 21 25分。

The reality of the situation is that you have to figure out a way, whether it was to motivate him, get him to motivate other people.

現實的情況是，你要想辦法，不管是激勵他，讓他去激勵其他人。

Whatever needed to be done was done thus far anyway.

反正到目前為止，該做的都做了。

And that's why I say I'm still not going.

I'm still not backing off of what I had to say about Brad Stevens.

我對布拉德-史蒂文斯的評價還是沒有退縮。

Nobody said that he deserved to be fired or anything like that.

沒有人說他應該被解僱或類似的事情。

What we said was, Excuse me, Brad Stevens.

我們說的是，對不起，布拉德-史蒂文斯。

This is what the expectation is for a team with this level of talent, and I don't give a damn.

這就是對一支球隊的期望，這種水準的人才，我不屑一顧。

No Kimber Walker with Jalen Brown and Jason Tatum, You have no business being a below 500 team in the National Basketball Association.

沒有金伯-沃克與杰倫-布朗和傑森-塔圖姆，你們沒有資格成為全國籃協500強以下的球隊。

With those two studs on the court for you, you just don't be a threat.

有了這兩個種馬在場上為你服務，你就是沒有威脅。

You can't be a below 500 team, which at the time was the worst team than the New York Knicks.

你不能成為一支低於500強的球隊，這在當時是比紐約尼克斯最差的球隊。

And so even though Kimball Walker's getting 30 to 21 25 over the last three games are sort of resurrecting himself, even though he's still fighting those knee injuries and we understand because we know what he can do when he's healthy, the bottom line is that still doesn't absolve Brad Stevens from what he has to do.

是以，即使金寶沃克在過去三場比賽中得到30到21 25的比賽算是復活了，即使他仍然在與那些膝傷作鬥爭，我們理解，因為我們知道當他健康時他能做什麼，底線是，仍然不能免除布拉德-史蒂文斯必須做的事情。

If you go to any coach inequality coach in the NBA, and you say, here's Jason Tatum and Jalen Brown, nobody wants to hear an excuse as to why you're below 500.

如果你去找NBA任何一個教練不平等的教練，你說，這裡有傑森-塔圖姆和杰倫-布朗，沒有人願意聽你為什麼低於500分的藉口。

That's why we were having a discussion about Brad Stevens.

這就是為什麼我們要討論布拉德-史蒂文斯的問題。

It wasn't some long term thing or anything like that.

這不是什麼長期的事情，或者類似的事情。

We were looking at the Celtics and we were like, Yo there below 500.

我們在看凱爾特人隊，我們很喜歡，喲有低於500。

你可以一直說像布拉德-史蒂文斯一樣。

Is it legitimate to say, Hey, you still got enough to be more competitive than No, It's perfect, but it to be more competitive than you are.

合法的說，嘿，你還是有足夠的競爭力，比不，它很完美，但它要比你更有競爭力。

My point is, what is the top point like, What's the reason if you have to pinpoint one?

我的觀點是，頂點是什麼樣子的，如果你非要掐一個點，那是什麼原因？

No, it's Kemba Walkers, Health and Stephen A.

不，是肯巴-步行者，健康和斯蒂芬-A。

You said, I mean, just look what happened.

你說，我是說，看看發生了什麼。

A movie is obviously moving better than he was.

And lo and behold, as you mentioned 32 25 they're starting to win.

看吧，就像你說的32 25，他們開始贏了。

And in fact, when you say that he's suddenly get healthy.

而事實上，當你說他突然變得健康。
