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

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

6:11

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

30:09

Not as like this. I can remember Cornets

30:11

Yoga Jazeera course that's what's his name in

30:14

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
