You know it's embarrassing to call your friends.

playoffs

haime hwz ahead of the pack there Miami putting together a little 13-3 run they uh oh after taking that you know the proverbial punch in the mouth they came back made it tight early don't leave that guy open right there there's not a lot of people that give me can you leave them open no Hower and what is the name of number 11 number 11 yes pton uh P yes, never leave them open, guys, they never go Miss, oh yes, but I will tell you how and PR, they should never be left open , you can do it now. mark it poor zingis you see him shake that hand it should have been a should have been a three and a man up Bernie ha hakz again I like him I always love him you see I like to tell you what a man Jaylen Brown 4 three this team They made them play very ok today and they still made me mad Derek White oh look this game was 91-59 in the fourth quarter why get mad because they started fucking around?

The guys should have been out of the game 5 minutes ago. They let the

heat

come back in, they cut it to 10 12 points, they should have been resting last, they should have even played the last quarter if they just came out and took care of business, still one for 20, we're good, yeah, but they had to do it. bring the starters back into the game Shaq doesn't matter we won by 20 114 to 94 what you're talking about is your final Miami 2 and 17 now and they don't score 100 and the Celtics 6 16 and 0 when they have teams under 100 and um they never Trail 10 times in the regular season, they went wire to wire in wins and they did it in the first game against the Heat.

This is what they talked about next. They really, you know, applied pressure from the beginning. You know, on both ends of the game. The court, it definitely makes things difficult for our offensive side and I don't think we played with enough strength and effort on the defensive side, especially to start the game, this is the playoffs, it's a good team, they're not supposed to will take him down, it's not supposed to be easy, um, no court is necessarily safe, uh, and you know, don't panic in a sense when they go to play their shots, just continue to play the right way, I mean, they're going to look at us and say we can't win because we don't have Jimmy and then you look at his record, whatever the case may be, at the end of the day you have to play the game that we know we're going to get into.

This is the game with people who don't believe in us, but you know, the guys in that locker room believe, so not as much as the guys in the locker room and the coaching staff believe we always have a chance, they could certainly use Jimmy Butler . use Terry roier has also been out with a neck injury Jason Tatum your American Express triple double tracker gets the first of his playoff career with 23 10 and 10 what was your biggest takeaway from that game Chuck, the Celtics are going to win the World Championship, they have been the best team in the NBA all year.

I like the way they came out and, like when you really like it for three quarters, uh, yeah, I liked it for three quarters. but because they just have to put their foot on their necks and stomp on them, but man, they're going to be hard to beat, they've got everything they need. I'll be totally shocked if they don't win the championship, you know? I look at Denver in the west, eh, they're the only team I think can compete with them, but if the Boston Celtics don't win the championship it would be a total joke. They shot the ball extremely well when shooting 44.9%.

They are almost unbeatable. Porzingis was the third guy. Mr. White was the fourth. Everyone played very well. You know, when you're a new hit, Tatum and Brown, and you don't have big numbers, everyone else contributes and everyone plays. We're playing well, listen, they shot the ball well. We know that when they shoot the ball well, they are difficult to beat, but they have moments where they don't shoot the ball well and they settle down and can be beat, and that's why I believe. they won't beat Deep Woo's 22 of 49 Champions, you say yeah, I, I, I would have to agree with Chuck, they are clearly playing, they have played the most consistent, the best and they continue to do so and what makes them difficult is the versatility. you know you could post Tatum, you could post Brown or you could, oh, you want to shoot threes, you want to play this game fast and we're going to do that too, we're going to bring how we're going to Bring Priter, we're going to have to keep Jaylen Brown and Tatum on the perimeter with Porzingis, so they play multiple ways, but the most underrated thing they do is defend and defend at a high level, but we've seen if they don't.

They don't shoot the ball well, they can be beaten, that's their only one, they have two weaknesses, they shoot too many three-pointers with things like I want you to keep shooting, they're going to go in, but if they're not going to go in, put your down and go to the basket no they do it and they are and they are kous with the ball but those are things that can be corrected by shooting two men three you can stop doing that turn the ball over you can stop correcting the last three years you have seen them correct that well they are the best that they've been and I think the addition, I think you listen, you know, I love Marus Smart, but he's not a point guard.

Drew Holiday is that guy that brings them as a point guard. It's really very important, yes, well, not versatility, but Kenny knows it, as a point guard, you have the ball in your hand 98% of the time, your job is like that of a great quarterback, you should be out, take it to him to your playmakers, you have Tatum. You've got Brown, you've got Porzingis, you've got Derek, man, he's got a lot of weapons at his disposal. Yes, the two things that a great point guard has to do. One, you will be a great decision maker about who gets them, but the hardest job is saying.

No, if you think about if you played with Shaq and Kobe in the past, you have to say no to one of them if you have basketball, and that's the hardest job and Drew Holiday is suited for that, he realized. Tatum doesn't and he could tell Brown no and they'll both say it's okay, he'll have the respect that they say it's okay and then he'll make the big decisions that you don't like, that most three-pointers make and make. nobody told you no, uh, in the NBA 22 for 49 in this, uh, in a 114-94 game, a win, uh, you would have had to see me, I could have been in Jackson 5 with that, hey, hey, Cory Mitchell, you are right.

Rest in peace Michael Jackson, the greatest of all time, boo, yeah, okay, come on, they just hate us, that was the photo, come on, ha, thanks Cory, that's why they call me brown-eyed old man, no, that's actually it. Frank, no, yes, I see the big fool James Harden was in one today Clippers without Kawai sailing
