Nice surprise to hear this from people who aren’t C’s fans. I agree as a Celtics fan btw. Inconsistent at times but he’s capable of great stuff. Amazing handle, range shooter, can run a good pick n roll, weirdly a really good offensive rebounder - always catches teams off guard with that and great energy all around.

[seano.]

As a Celtics fan I appreciate the love for PP. He’s an absolute baller off the bench. 🙏

Who's back to this vid after watching Game 5 of the Finals?

[samsonahferom]

On ball defender and fights through those screens. I love the way he shoots the threes!

Exactly. I'm a Celtics fan and I hate when Celtics fans sleep on this guy.

In Pritchard we trust! His shot isn't falling but the dude is contributing in many ways. The dude is averaging 3.5 assists with 0.58 turnovers = BALL SECURITY!!!!. his +/- has been positive in 8/12 games, for a total of +77. Some of that is inflated from the Pacers beat down, but still.

I love the "... do you think that's a hot take? That Pritchard's good?..." look and tone from JJ.

PP has always been that guy. He was looked at as the best PG in college basketball at one point. He will find his way onto the starting roster at some point in his career

[portocalaportocalie]

U got Payton Pritchard looking like a crypto scammer out here:)))

[lankyhanky]

He also gets the team hyped any time he's on the court

[AdrianDMarti]

It's TJ he's done it everywhere plus he is vocal in the locker room.

[corprdystopia]

Payton Prichard is a loyal dog who loves his team, he can penetrate and draw guys in like nothing, he gasses out the defense and can start cooking from deep.

Second most famous man from west Lynn, Oregon.

[jarellbutler]

Payton Pritchard been a top backup guard the last 2 years.

[MuswellMunky]

“He’s an MF’er in practice” - it’s okay Zach, you can say if properly 😂

[dervinpoison]

i didnt like JJ Redick when he played in the league but hes a good commentator

[zachshannon]

I need to see 22 playoffs P again. Early days, I believe

[kntfhvn]

PP spends money to get foreign players to the US and have them play him 1 on 1. that level of dedication is insane.

[bjdadon]

He is sneaky dangerous. He can catch fire quick and moments dont faze him. I was so glad the celtics didnt give him enough minutes in the finals few years ago lol

[dekutheg]

He's actually good on the ball, he can bother you. Switchability is the only knock
