Skip Bayless and Paul Pierce take shots at each other during the discussion of the Celtic’s humiliating loss to the Hawks. Boston Celtics despite having the lead lost 122-123 to Hawks in the OT. Dejounte Murray played a crucial role for the Hawks in the absence of players like Tray Young. He scored 44 points including a late winner.
Skip Bayless expressed his worries about the Hawks’ ability as the Celtics prepared for their second loss to them in as many days. Using Murray’s performance as a point of comparison, the sports pundit publicly questioned the title contender’s tactics and mentality.
Skip Bayless made a suggestion about how the Celtics’ inadequacies were exposed when they allowed the Hawks’ shooting guard to try 44 shots. It kept the home team in the contest as the 2022 All-Star, who finished with 44 points, 7 rebounds, and 7 assists, made the game-winning three-pointer to seal the victory, according to ESPN.
“Can’t wait to hear how Paul Pierce tries to defend his Celtics on tomorrow’s Undisputed. They were 16-point favorites tonight after blowing a 30-point lead earlier this week in Atlanta.” Skip Bayless tweeted.

Paul Pierce did not show concern following the Boston Celtics’ 118-120 loss to the Hawks. He stated unequivocally that the close defeat did not bother him, claiming the Celtics were “just bored” with the regular season and eager for the postseason. He could go into more detail while analyzing the game in the upcoming episode.
Even in the middle of the wrath, there was enough truth in those comments. After all, the team was the underdog going into the last two games but gave in to pressure from a patchy Hawks roster. Their momentum was impacted, and their eight-game winning streak came to an end.
