3:40
like it. So here we are not all total
3:42
else on earth. Auto lava to you as much
3:45
as possible. So.
3:48
This, this isn't even a hey. later on
3:50
we'll talk about. this was when the whole
3:52
season's Ah, the whole podcast. Looking back into
3:54
regular season this is not. Ah, you know.
3:57
People. thinking. Oh the. I
4:00
would. Are you gonna eat our hang a banner for
4:02
the regular? No. No, that's not what
4:04
we do around here. were so like
4:06
it's it's. It's. Not exactly championship
4:09
or bus like. we're not going to
4:11
be like crazy about that. I think
4:13
it's okay. To. Take.
4:16
A second here. And. Just look at
4:18
what they've done. And so you know what?
4:21
This. Has been pretty damn good. Or
4:23
else is there with this. And maybe this
4:25
is an old man yells at cloud kind of
4:27
situation. I I'm just. I.
4:29
Cannot fathom. People.
4:32
Not. Enjoying.
4:34
A regular season just because they they can.
4:37
I had trouble and didn't didn't finish the
4:39
job in the pass or case they did
4:41
what they did against Miami Lesser. They didn't
4:43
get past the Golden State Warriors to two
4:45
years ago. No one is sitting there saying
4:47
like I said, notes in the sinks raise
4:49
a regular season banner, No one sitting there
4:51
saying they've accomplished what they need to accomplish
4:54
anything with that. But when I am saying
4:56
is. You. Know what? This. Has
4:58
been a lot of fun and if you can't
5:00
bring yourself to say. You. Know what? This
5:02
has been a lot of fun! It also. I.
5:04
Would be very upset if he didn't win
5:07
a championship. You can have both things. You
5:09
can be both things and I think it's
5:11
a social media saying. I think people feel
5:13
it be want to impress, impress their like
5:15
you know you're You're a fan of failure
5:17
in mass you like, oh I'm going to
5:19
be just like them and angry and like
5:21
that. They're. Putting on a show you're You're
5:23
just gonna like doing whatever like so I know. I
5:26
feel like it's like a lot of press room for
5:28
both. Gathered. The Ss. That's
5:30
right, Yeah,
5:32
not unit. You know who else thinks there's
5:35
room for both? Joe Missoula who suffered after
5:37
the game? yeah, like obviously. zero point, right?
5:39
Dramas all over them, hang in a banner.
5:42
Who was all? was like going in there

5:48
military law professor. Mission accomplished. Accomplished

6:13
It might have been Missoula, might have been,
6:15
but I'm in jail and it was somebody
6:17
last night in the post game said you
6:20
are You just don't know if this is
6:22
gonna happen again that there's no guarantee right?
6:24
That. You're going to have the best record in the
6:26
and Ba ever. Again, There's no guarantee that you're going
6:28
to be on a sixty When team. Sixty.
6:31
Wins Doesn't just your scripts stumble
6:33
and fall into sixty When that
6:35
is very difficult to do. you
6:37
can. you can get a number
6:39
one seed you know, a couple
6:41
times and never hit sixty. Wince
6:43
like this is. This. Is
6:45
pretty special regular season and I think.
6:48
You. Know if you're selfish one appreciate the
6:50
wins because there's been a lot of
6:52
on a number to appreciate the way
6:55
The same place like this is a
6:57
good. Basketball. Have this is
6:59
good hoops and like the role as I'd like
7:01
adding. more so than in previous seasons for sure
7:03
right? Like in the A More so than the
7:05
seasons were guys might have gotten you know like
7:08
like ton of puckered up a little bit. you
7:10
know if if a game was line away from
7:12
them a little better on you know guys might
7:14
a like to play down to their competition or
7:16
looked ahead too much like we talked about on
7:19
the last episode. This. Like
7:21
that's not what's happened this year.
7:23
This year has been a really,
7:26
really good basketball team. Playing good
7:28
basketball on basketball. I'm. Want.
7:30
Fun little storyline to be how phone or
7:32
most of these guys watch The come on
7:34
is Derek White. Race
7:37
is a beautiful hoops and like If you like
7:39
if you like the game and you like to
7:41
be and be a new like the celtics this
7:43
is a season to appreciate. For that reason nothing.
7:46
So it's funny. So. I
7:48
don't like to share personal conversations I had behind the
7:50
scenes, but I don't think he's going to mind. Here
7:53
are to. I bumped into Sam Presti. Cm.
7:56
Of the Oklahoma City Thunder Emerson basketball
7:58
guy Simon and some basketball guy. I've
8:00
known Sam since he was in college. Ah so
8:02
it's the it's a big it's always a big
8:04
Emerson basketball reunion when okay see comes to towns
8:06
or bunch of us were there and all that
8:08
stuff and I saw him after the game and
8:10
you know in just were just talking and I
8:12
said oh it's great to see a man you
8:14
got a hell of a teen you know? Yeah,
8:16
despite what happened here tonight and you just is
8:19
the reason for your discuss his reaction was f
8:21
one of eighty two. He's. Like literally
8:23
in it's There's no reason to say it
8:25
to me as a member the media. this
8:27
the guy that I used to practice against
8:29
him right before he was anything in the
8:31
and be a he was a dude that
8:33
would you know would try to check me
8:35
in a practice and you know that that's.
8:37
That's. The relationship that we have and easily as
8:40
someone would have any to. And
8:42
I bring that up to be like. This.
8:44
That's that's the N B A attitude. Towards.
8:47
A lot of the things that happened:
8:49
the celtics, all of the. Comments
8:51
in the youths Who Pays in the things that
8:53
I read them: Boston Sports So. And
8:56
I'm not trying to like crap all over
8:58
people who are who are just in a
9:00
different mindset, but like what I'm trying to
9:02
do is due to understand that. The.
9:05
Losses to the or the the Atlanta
9:07
Hawks. Okay toss the out What? it's
9:09
not your not the best. But.
9:12
Also. One. Of Eighty
9:14
Two, Each one of those, one of Eighty Two to of
9:16
Eighty Two. right? The Celtics
9:18
have sixteen. Losses.
9:21
They don't play down. Always.
9:23
Play Down. To the competition
9:26
Legal Do that. If
9:28
they did, they wouldn't have
9:30
only lost sixteen times. right?
9:32
they? They don't. Blow.
9:35
Every twenty point lead they just
9:37
did. They get some down to
9:39
ten some down to just live
9:41
in this season. We see
9:43
more twenty point lead bleeds. Go.
9:46
Away this season in the
9:48
Mph than ever before. So.
9:50
It's not just the Boston Celtics that
9:52
lose twenty point lead and guess what
9:54
the subjects of also recovered and held
9:57
on and one knows games. Because.
10:00
They want sixty and only
10:02
last sixteen. Next behind them
10:04
is Minnesota in Denver who
10:06
have lost twenty three games.
10:08
The Celtics are seven games
10:10
ahead of those teams. That
10:12
is amazing to me and
10:14
like This is why I'm
10:16
saying would take a second.
10:18
To. Think
10:21
about in appreciate. Only.
10:24
seen other. Celtics
10:27
scenes. Have reached
10:29
sixty wins Another when the show with a
10:31
picture of all the banners behind me. Not
10:33
all those teams have one sixty games right?
10:36
So now you have to add to that.
10:38
Now you have to do the next step.
10:40
And. Say sixty wins plus the been around
10:43
people may be like yo because their
10:45
teams that did sixty games have been
10:47
were didn't raise one of these said.
10:51
It, it is in and of
10:53
itself at this moment. Something.
10:56
Special. That.
10:58
Hasn't happened very often. Whenever something
11:00
special have a happen very often
11:02
there's an appropriate level of here.
11:04
We are on a Friday. April
11:07
was the April fifth, so. What's.
11:09
Take a second in April Fifth, when there
11:11
are six regular season games that word, we're
11:13
going to get whatever would take this moment
11:15
now. To say
11:17
hey Boston Celtics. Good.
11:20
Freaking job this season man.
11:22
you guys deserve a second.
11:25
To. Kind. Of. Bask.
11:27
In the glory ambulance or react to that
11:30
are in just the several get back. There
11:32
is some stats that kind of show some
11:34
it's It's interesting things tom so that we.
11:37
Haven't a once your particular. We didn't do
11:39
the season. That. I think
11:41
is gonna is worth celebrating as well.
11:43
There are that next. Thank. You

12:10
Seven on you Tube or the free Fire
12:12
Amazon Fire Tv channels that part a lock
12:14
on Pa just Network. It's routine. Every
12:17
day. Let's continue appreciating the
12:19
hell out of these Boston Celtics. So
12:21
basically what I've been saying is. Sometimes.
12:24
Tom, you know we are. You want to get back
12:26
in shape? You want to hit the gym? Maybe you
12:28
hit the gym for two three weeks straight? You pop
12:30
into the miri, go. For. You know
12:32
what? Is a little. Definition
12:36
in their yoyo little pet. Coming in
12:38
here get little. An ulcer.
12:40
Ah, I. I.
12:43
I I appreciate my progress. Makes me want to
12:45
go do more. Yeah I'm just gonna leave me
12:47
or be like in a what. Oh.
12:51
Absolutely. I think I mean look I and
12:53
I think you'd you can imagine this before
12:55
the brakes. Like this is the perfect
12:57
time to do it because when the season is over,
12:59
when the regular season wraps up another he'll be like
13:02
a little time and will probably do some similar stuff
13:04
you know at that point Zero. like just yell touch
13:06
on some of the summer solstice. Guess. That's
13:08
good. That's the. Point is pods but
13:10
this is but like at that boy right?
13:13
A lot of that can be page turning
13:15
to the that opposes and you know like
13:17
yeah, season gets to an end you gotta
13:19
You know you gotta go through the pays
13:21
a little bit but like. Yes,
13:24
I mean this is the I think one of
13:26
the things that really struck me as I saw
13:28
on out on Twitter today on Harrison Fagan from
13:30
the from Sb Nation that is A is A
13:32
is a Lakers reporter and he he noted is
13:35
like have one of the things that really strikes
13:37
me about the Celtics team is just the way
13:39
that's who you know they're just find a way
13:41
to get motivated. Every single Taylor's like. You.
13:43
Know if you've caught the attention
13:45
of Lakers guy fsf yourself exceed all
13:48
on you've got adults up with
13:50
hear. The Lakers
13:52
guy. Is. Saying wow these
13:54
Silva's get motivated all the time and Celtic
13:56
fans are said to be like de ticked
13:59
up for these. The aim. That
14:02
should tell you. Anything
14:04
that should tell you something is one do
14:06
in the you tube. Comments through the
14:08
just showed up recently. One of his comments
14:10
was just reading championship like twelve times and
14:13
I think that's all we care about.
14:15
First of all like okay am I not
14:17
supposed to shows until we win a
14:19
championship? I'm. Gonna. Fly
14:21
for Faisal of your team every day.
14:23
But like the it is once you
14:26
hundred words a have been superb. Twenty
14:28
nine minutes and then. I'll
14:30
order the growing importance. Perfect fit
14:32
Ff Ff. Ten minutes of just
14:34
tried to give him his attempts
14:37
zip.to. Suddenly.
14:40
You're. You're you're saying? No.
14:42
as as I think that's that speaks to
14:44
you know out how presidency was bed right
14:47
Like like it. it's it. This isn't something
14:49
that is like. I think
14:51
other teams take a look at the celtics to
14:53
and kind of be like hand they are. I
14:56
it all like. They're. Really good and and
14:58
I think it's gonna be interesting to see how
15:00
kind of like the predictions break down before the
15:02
post season just as in i'm a i think
15:05
a lot of people and and.of understandably sour taste
15:07
like a great your the great regular season you
15:09
out of the great regular seasons prove it to
15:11
me in the post season and like. There.
15:14
Was some some fairness to that? Ah, but that's
15:16
not really what we're talking about. you know, like,
15:18
what? what we're talking about As like, dang, who?
15:21
Has been football uniform young has been good
15:23
hoops, The starting
15:25
size. Has only played.
15:28
Thirty five games together. That's
15:31
something if if you're doing a podcast
15:34
and one of the topics is the
15:36
starting five. Has played thirty five games
15:38
together. I would say
15:40
that's something you do when. You're.
15:43
The Phoenix Suns and you're sitting there
15:45
in the, you know? Okay, you climb
15:47
into the succeed your forty five and
15:50
thirty one. Good. Season Winning
15:52
season. Not quite what you wanted
15:54
to be and you're like, well,
15:56
forty five games humid One Fifty
15:58
games if the sorry. It didn't
16:00
just play thirty five games together.
16:02
Ah, but the Celtics have one.
16:05
Sixty games. With.
16:07
The starting five only playing thirty five
16:09
games ago. And as
16:11
did Wilde. That's right, an Aids is
16:14
funny because I think we've learned luggage
16:16
for everybody. But. I'm not going
16:18
on would mean I'm risking my dog
16:20
going crazy thinking that me there's somebody
16:22
of the door I'm. Like. I
16:25
have. I've heard a lot seen a lot like Allow.
16:27
The Celtics have been really healthy this year. They've had
16:29
a lot of really good health like this year and
16:32
like to an extent. that's true, right? Like be nobody's
16:34
gotten you know, any kind of significant injury but. That.
16:37
That mean. It's it's honestly it's
16:39
more just that they have so many good
16:41
players they'll fight. Guys can rest is like
16:44
reserves for the just sits out a couple
16:46
games and you're like with her it would
16:48
get the rest up. A guy who issue
16:50
for you gotta get our for the right
16:52
corner can fill in for a lot like
16:54
that and the and that's and I mean
16:56
there are quite sat out some games this
16:59
year doesn't usually do that. Tatum the sat
17:01
out the games this year like this like
17:03
they're been opportunities for guys to. Get.
17:05
To the end of year healthy
17:07
arm in part because. Like it's
17:10
not that you don't notice that they're gone but
17:12
it's just but like you kind of don't notice
17:14
that the current there's just no idea where that
17:16
is like our at this going anywhere. You
17:19
can sit. Jaylen. Brown,
17:21
Christopher Pausing is and Derek
17:23
Whites. And you're starting
17:25
lineup, has draw at a decent
17:27
Edelman Al Horford and you know
17:29
you're and you're at like Peyton
17:31
Pritchard who's been. I've right. When
17:33
I was fixed. So that's right.
17:36
So what I'm saying is most
17:38
seems don't have the luxury of
17:40
even starting are starting lineup of
17:42
Holiday, Tatum and Horford. that would
17:44
be a team. Distances.
17:47
That starting I just takes was
17:49
pretend it's a video game and
17:51
you have to separate. Celtic seems
17:53
one is Zealand poor zynga s
17:55
and whites in the rest of
17:58
the guys and the other. One
18:00
is. Kate. I'm Horford
18:02
and. Holiday in the rest of
18:04
the guys, right? so they don't exist on each other's
18:06
teams. Those are both in the
18:09
east that that's your for five metre. right?
18:11
Ladies. To. A Tatum Horford
18:14
holiday would be like a trio that
18:16
like would spark arguments over whether or
18:18
not the Celtics have a big three
18:20
and that's just like three. Best friend,
18:23
That's right, that's right, right? So and
18:25
like you have whites, Ah,
18:28
Jail. And aim for this year like that's
18:30
what greatness A When a point guard in
18:33
a big would to take mix you have
18:35
their like that's all works it is the
18:37
same thing with both bosom of what's a
18:39
Now you put a both together and it's
18:41
like you know your peanut butter go into
18:43
my chocolate know you're talking got to my
18:46
feet of Iraq Now this is a recent
18:48
peanut butter cup and it's amazing. And
18:50
that's the thing, right? it? It turned
18:52
into a Peter Buttercup, not something. I
18:55
don't have a good analogy of the
18:58
now my need analogy. Made a step
19:00
in here as because like you look
19:02
at the twenty two nineteen team right?
19:04
That team had. Equivalent
19:06
New not equivalent but comparable talent on
19:08
it right? That's one thing I see.
19:11
the was stacked and they never turned
19:13
into a peanut butter. got. the thirteen
19:15
was yeah Worthy was rotten milk from
19:17
the schwab that as like a Us.
19:20
Let that that's another thing Again, you know
19:23
we talk about things to appreciate about this
19:25
team is that like the those those six
19:27
players you know plus the bad guys like
19:29
everybody says. Jilt. Perfectly
19:32
come together really well. I'm A doesn't always
19:34
happen and and don't Celtic Spades of you
19:36
have? If you have any kind of memory
19:38
you hundred you should be aware of the
19:40
fact that. That. Melds doesn't
19:42
always happen. With.
19:44
Fuck about like guys. Things that are
19:47
surprised us. Will. Do
19:49
that when we come back. But. This is
19:51
this is where I want to introduce the show that we
19:53
haven't done this year. Which. Is. A
19:56
season ten, I'm playing too many minutes. Once.
20:00
Have we had that conversation? Not. What
20:02
does that come up now wants is
20:04
a question but s not once have
20:06
we gone into the you six seasons
20:08
playing like way too much know it
20:10
on his of hold to him. That's.
20:12
Right? Because this seems so deep in so
20:15
many guys that Joe has it had to
20:17
like be like oh we can win it
20:19
all causes can be Tatum at all costs.
20:21
These guys are playing great big. They're winning
20:24
ninety minutes. Like a fourth
20:26
quarter against the Are The Thunder that
20:28
was. That was Tatum city of a
20:30
bitch. He got to sit the whole
20:32
fourth quarter so. That. Brings.
20:35
Me to my surprise which is Jill
20:37
Missoula and will talk about that. When.
20:39
We come back. Thanks. Rigging like on
20:41
celtics Your first lesson everyday. Go to got locked on and
20:43
be a. Discovering. The
20:45
whole league I got the someone's is would take
20:47
Madison go check it out. Where would you podcast
20:49
watches on you to get into the comments section?
20:51
Their. What's. The whole league. It's
20:54
fun. It's a fun so. Members.
20:58
Or it's home. So any surprises here I
21:01
started would still Missoula and my my one
21:03
of my biggest surprises here is just that.
21:06
See. Took as biggest step forward.
21:08
As he did i i i
21:11
saw I thought last season I
21:13
saw promise in him. Ah,
21:15
I was definitely not one of the people who was
21:17
like oh yeah, he's gotta go. But
21:20
sit for hims a comeback. Put
21:22
this staff together. And. To
21:25
have this mindset? Is
21:27
that there was funny after that game against
21:29
The Thunder posing as as like Joe? Ah
21:32
has a way of like. Getting.
21:34
To Earth unlocking something with us when he wants
21:36
to go to another go. What is it is
21:38
like ah don't know. Bob level us. as
21:41
he walked out for like the cameras a record as
21:43
robber might. Don't. Know or don't want
21:45
to say he's like. Ah yet.
21:47
Although it yeah there's something that shows
21:50
got air is got the room, he's
21:52
got their attention. And.
21:55
Yoko. Sixteen sixteen without having
21:57
the room. Though. Credit
22:00
to Joe Will I people were all we
22:02
didn't call a timeout to stop this particular
22:04
run against the Hawks. Like okay, But.
22:07
He's his his his coaching. Has
22:10
been I think very good all season.
22:12
And. An even better than I thought it
22:14
would. Be. I agree with that and
22:16
I think a big part of it and I could be
22:19
wrong by like and I'm just guessing here. Glad you goods
22:21
But we were out. Where are we were not in those.
22:23
Discussions. One of them the the zero point
22:25
by that. We. Have no idea
22:27
I'm I think the. Is
22:30
he not perfect? You know nobody's perfect. Know
22:32
coaches gonna be perfect. But like the one
22:34
thing that you never question with Missoula like
22:36
is I guess there's two things never question
22:38
one. He's always going to
22:41
be as prepared as he can possibly
22:43
be and the reason that he's always
22:45
you'd be prepared as he could positively
22:47
is because number two that me in
22:50
tears so much about this team. His
22:52
players. This game right like
22:54
winning basketball games like he just
22:56
cares he like a edited it
22:58
comes through in Ayodhya that really
23:00
slick it's shows in a way
23:02
that he said. Know. Is
23:05
he doesn't just citizens a study the game.
23:07
He thinks about the game. He doesn't just
23:09
kind of take what other people are doing
23:11
and try to implement it. He like he
23:13
does like okay but why are they do
23:16
that They like yeah you know a hum
23:18
it I eat. I think that speaks volumes
23:20
of. His. Intelligent. like his
23:22
intelligence as a coach, but also just like
23:24
if you're a player. I'm A. oh.
23:27
That's the. Kind. Of guy you want to
23:29
play for That does a guy who cares about
23:31
you and and who wants you to succeed and
23:34
once like the whole thing to succeed. I.
23:37
Think if you know I think that's a
23:39
big part of it. I mean certainly the
23:41
good basket lose certainly the great basketball mind
23:43
right? Like a young you know? Any
23:45
of these coaches? yeah somebody, they were basketball
23:47
and it'll take about, you know, ten. it'll
23:49
take of them about a specific five to
23:51
ten seconds of talking before you dislike. Or.
23:54
Do this when when John like capability
23:56
I didn't and at I know a little
23:58
bit about basketball but like. You.
24:00
Know certainly the great basketball, my driving. I think
24:02
it's if they're this level of pass in this
24:04
level of I'm you know the about of caring
24:06
about things. That kind of has set him apart
24:09
a little bit this year. Look.
24:12
Adrian Griffin. Is
24:14
a great basketball might. Write link was
24:17
like when. She. Became an M B A
24:19
head coach for a reason. He. Failed at
24:21
it. In his first
24:23
try to pry him another one. But.
24:26
Any. One of these guys at visit loving were
24:29
watching the I with this bucks team. Is that
24:31
eater Griffin? probably. Could. Get another shot.
24:33
Within a few years ago, that on
24:35
a list of failure was entirely on
24:37
him of yeah yeah, what did a
24:39
five hundred under Doc made? They were
24:41
set one seventy percent of the games
24:43
under him. So yeah, that was the
24:46
right move. Thousand right move. Ah, So
24:49
any oh hey, ah but the point is.
24:52
Coaches who get fired. Coaches
24:55
don't even make it seem be a. Those. Incredible!
24:58
Best moments apps in. The.
25:00
Emotional stuff. It's connecting with
25:03
your team. The N
25:05
B A is such a different animal it's
25:07
so different that it's not just you go
25:10
here you go here to do here oh
25:12
this guy's yet great after time a place
25:14
that makes him a great coach with know
25:16
if he can't connect with the seems like
25:18
our woes. his name of. Ah
25:21
black with the with oh yes yes
25:23
we have a tablet Is a Hall
25:25
of Fame coach just like a legend
25:28
over evil. I didn't overseas Came here
25:30
with a season and a half years.
25:32
Are you done? You are done Fun!
25:35
So that's like. If
25:37
you have to have the right mentality
25:39
to connect to these guys, Missoula. To
25:42
next to these guys. Humility!
25:45
right? Like. He has a funny
25:47
when when Charles Barclay was like oh i
25:49
would not good coach out if he tried
25:51
to block my shots and nassau of about
25:53
he's like they'd die I'd I'd be very
25:55
open to being knocked out. What? you gotta
25:58
be willing to get knocked out sometimes. What?
26:01
That means is. You. Can will be
26:03
willing to put like what you think and
26:05
what you do on the line and have
26:07
a get blown up in your face so
26:09
you can learn from it. When.
26:11
When they are screwing up left and
26:13
right and have like that's horrible loss
26:16
against the Lakers and he's like I
26:18
hated the fact that. We. Losses game
26:20
but I love the fact that we went through
26:22
it. Because. That's getting knocked out.
26:25
When. You get knocked out you can help would get
26:27
up and be like damn. What?
26:29
Did I do wrong? Because.
26:31
That sucks and I don't want to go
26:33
through that again. And that's the learning process.
26:35
and he's got a knack for figuring that
26:37
stuff out. You. Get hit. You learn
26:39
how to take upon sometimes like your foot
26:41
in. That's right. Learn Alexander Graham. Learn how
26:44
to like Sometimes you gotta to. Boxing.
26:47
Matches. Art Somebody wins.
26:50
And the person who wins gets hit
26:52
like three hundred topics. You gotta take
26:54
a bunch young, Folk wasn't
26:56
on. Can I come a real quick? I'll do
26:58
my guy that. I'm like I've been super. I
27:00
was a vegetable. a suburb of Pain. Pritchard has
27:03
been so good this year and I didn't think
27:05
Jesse has. I didn't think that he had all.
27:07
I mean I. I mean I've added, I didn't
27:09
think that he had all this on this team.
27:12
I'm. I thought it was like a the pretty
27:14
good will play thought it would like you
27:16
know maybe just minutes somewhere else other than
27:18
he would break into the rotation on a
27:20
Celtics team. This. Stacks like that
27:22
that you and that he would be
27:24
like a pretty important player like that.
27:27
The fact that he can, you know.
27:29
Mix. And match different lineups, you know,
27:32
sliding? Light in here
27:34
said in an area I'm just like the
27:36
all the different little things that he can
27:38
do all all the ways that it's like
27:40
he's smaller than everybody else, but it just.
27:42
You. Know you picked on like you
27:44
don't see guys picking on paint. Brits are
27:47
the were you would think that a guy
27:49
is height would get picked on because he
27:51
says he does look so unpleasant the plague
27:54
with to draw the yeah to do things
27:56
together a little sloppy like getting a good
27:58
as an American. He's.
28:01
Been really good. I've been really impressed by him and
28:03
I think like you know you look ahead to it's
28:05
it's to that contract he signed and it's like. I
28:08
mean. You. Know at at the time like wow good
28:10
for him he locked up like you know like longer it's or money
28:12
and all of a sudden it's like. Has
28:14
celtics myself. Whether a pretty good little
28:16
bargain their lead us. Little.
28:18
Closer player is a good player. I been really
28:21
impressed with them this year. Super.
28:23
Impressed with him. I know what and I
28:25
have. I've been skeptical. Continue to be a
28:27
skeptic. In the playoffs like these these every
28:29
the one guy might still have the show
28:31
me the playoffs to their advantages. But I
28:33
tell you what, I'm not. I'm
28:35
not. In. Where I come
28:38
from on him his I'm not dismissing him for
28:40
sure. I'm not like in a passerby like the
28:42
Templar him in the playoffs as as that's how
28:44
it is. Now my know I think you can
28:46
play him in the playoffs, just watch the match
28:48
ups and z like it might be a situation
28:50
where two minutes and you're like oh nope this
28:52
is of the game for him and eight. Days.
28:54
If that's the one you saw, go back home
28:57
again to. And like you just
28:59
go. maybe the different time of the
29:01
game will differ. Matchup: So. I've.
29:03
Come around a lot on him.
29:05
Sam Houser. In the same same
29:07
vein, Sam Houser. Incredibly impressive. Not.
29:09
Just the did like the defensive improvements.
29:11
People will always say. What
29:14
does he stay in front of his guys? He's
29:16
been pretty good Deepens op he's He's got a
29:18
lot more and inside the Arc this year. But
29:20
shooting. On the move. Running
29:23
into his shots relocating.
29:26
Recognizing what the players what the
29:28
play needs where he needs to
29:31
be. The foot work has been
29:33
amazing I am just sometimes i
29:35
watch three was his his like
29:37
just for consider voting. Full.
29:40
Speed split down the corner
29:42
Chechnyas, catching a right handed
29:44
Suter. Setting. It and
29:46
stopping and turning in the left
29:49
corner to get a shot off
29:51
and not hitting even than net
29:53
going through like wow Amazing! So
29:55
shout Sam Houser! also. Incredibly
29:58
impressive. Allison. While we're
30:00
starting our whites luke cornet have been
30:02
good. Fuck
30:05
it Off the cuff, I haven't seen
30:07
a white. Still,
30:09
Not as like this. I can remember Cornets
30:11
Yoga Jazeera course that's what's his name in
30:14
now Lala Land The or Ryan Gosling in
30:16
Lala Land in Iowa. Yards on. it's like.
30:19
Ah, but I mean money. Honestly, idol I have
30:21
no joke like Dark White has become one of
30:23
my favorite M B A players watched as the
30:25
arms as though the way he plays is just.
30:28
As it's just yeah the I as I don't
30:30
know how as if you if you you know
30:32
control f the amount of times I've said good
30:34
hoops are good basketball this podcast it would be
30:36
a lot but there are quite as like the
30:38
definition of a you know it's just when he
30:40
believes is this is good hoops he just plays
30:42
good hoops. I don't know what else does that.
30:45
He's. So good. like this is the thing about

line is. We.
32:17
Know there's a lot left to be done. Yeah.
32:19
And I'll end with this. Is a lot
32:21
less to be done. And this plenty
32:23
of time to talk about that that week
32:25
leading up to the first playoff game. We're.
32:28
Going to be look to your head really breaking down
32:30
matchups this but you know what? On.

33:10
we start getting ready for the playoff. Let's
33:12
see how the sucks because now we start
33:14
the next part of the journey but there's
33:17
a nice little gap year where you can
33:19
be like okay, take a breath, smell the
33:21
roses and you're not losing and yet losing
33:23
sight of anything yet losing a reality ahead
33:25
and like letting go there of this is
33:27
an opportunity for us. On the
33:29
outside. To. Be like. Good
33:32
job Boston Celtics! Although it on the bags,
33:35
it's physically impossible for us to let go
33:37
of the rope. We're not playing games you're
33:39
