“… And right now, it's just, it's tough. I mean, there's some just peak Matador situations. I mean, the game against the Minnesota Timberwolves with Anthony Edwards just kind of skating past him on the perimeter was really rough. Even like Keontae George. They nearly lost to the Utah Jazz the other day. Keontae George was just going to the rim left and right. They're trying to lose. And they still almost beat Denver. so i think the defense stinks and um that's tough but for me it's health is just a huge component here and i think the way that they play is different without you know the guy in the dunker …”
“… uh, even his free throws, just everything is, is down kind of dramatically from what it was pre knee injury. And that doesn't even begin to talk about like the defense, which I've always thought he was a little bit of an underrated defender. Me too. And right now, it's just, it's tough. I mean, there's some just peak Matador situations. I mean, the game against the Minnesota Timberwolves with Anthony Edwards just kind of skating past him on the perimeter was really rough. Even like Keontae George. They nearly lost to the Utah Jazz the other day. Keontae George was just going to the rim left and right. They're trying to lose. And they still almost beat Denver. so i think the defense stinks and um that's tough but for me it's health is just a huge component here and i think the way that they play is different without you know the guy in the dunker spot like gordon or peyton watson to threaten and space the floor like that um so i think when they get healthy and they get bigger like i just i love yokich i can't quit this guy he's still so phenomenal that that game he had against the celtics without jamal murray in the second half was just like, I am the best player on the planet. So that's why …”

It's time to recognize his value, as he could be the engine behind the Celtics' success this season.
“… of the highlights. And he is, so getting back to facing that team with a leader like, ooh, man, AD is just, he, and I think what stands out about Anthony Edwards right now, Is that whole confrontation with the coach. People made more of it than they should have. But there's many a times coach is going to say pass hit the open man. But to see his fire like, no, I got this. This is what I do. Yes, it is. But when you have someone open, it's that moment with Michael Jordan and Paxson when Phil Jackson says, Michael, who's open? And he says, Pax is open. Then get him the ball. And next thing you know, in …”
“… watch him in that, get in that game in Denver. I'm watching. I'm like, Rudy, why do I feel this way? Like, like, But again, it's part of the whole, it's Shaq, it's the pictures that we see, it's the things, it's the low lights that we've seen instead of the highlights. And he is, so getting back to facing that team with a leader like, ooh, man, AD is just, he, and I think what stands out about Anthony Edwards right now, Is that whole confrontation with the coach. People made more of it than they should have. But there's many a times coach is going to say pass hit the open man. But to see his fire like, no, I got this. This is what I do. Yes, it is.

And next thing you know, in LA, Michael does it once. Michael does it a couple of times. But it's what Michael created first and foremost that we understand what he's able to do before he starts getting it to the open guys. So I think this is what scary about Anthony Edwards is that what he doing as you said taking down everybody when he see LeBron James now listen to LeBron at …”
