Hour 2 – Who’s to Blame in Boston? · The Ben Maller Show

0:00
Speaker 1: Ding dong. The Celtics are gone, at least in game one.
0:04
Speaker 1: It's our number two, our two. It's radio silence in
0:09
Speaker 1: Boston and whenever the Celtics do well, we are flooded
0:14
Speaker 1: with calls on our affiliate, the Sports Hub in Boston.
0:17
Speaker 1: When the Celtics don't do well, many people go into hiding.
0:20
Speaker 1: This will be an example. The Knickerbockers down twenty, come
0:24
Speaker 1: all the way back. So who's the fall guy for
0:27
Speaker 1: the Jason Tatum Celtics. Will discuss that. Where is the
0:32
Speaker 1: Celtic panic level after dropping Game one? Is the loss
0:36
Speaker 1: of a mild concern or a full blown crisis in Boston?
0:41
Speaker 1: We'll talk about that. And is this knixt team for
0:43
Speaker 1: real or did they just catch Boston on a lolly
0:48
Speaker 1: gagging situation late in the game and they were off
0:50
Speaker 1: their game late. We'll talk about that, and who knows
0:53
Speaker 1: what else? Give it up for our number two.
0:58
Speaker 2: Let's get this. You're listening to Fox Sports.
1:02
Speaker 1: Radio when the luck of the Irish runs out. Welcome
1:09
Speaker 1: in the beginning of another hour of the Ben Malors Show.
1:14
Speaker 1: We are in the air everywhere preaching to the choir
1:21
Speaker 1: as we are paid up members of the Club. We
1:25
Speaker 1: are coast to coast, border the border and beyond on
1:29
Speaker 1: the vast and stratophirically powerful microphones of FSR amminating live
1:36
Speaker 1: from the string, the sweet sweet string music of audio
1:44
Speaker 1: sports talk from the Fox Sports Radio Studios, as approved
1:47
Speaker 1: by not a Burner, Not a Burner. This portion of
1:50
Speaker 1: the Ben Malord Show made possible in part by ti Iraq.
1:53
Speaker 1: For over forty years, ty Iraq has been helping customers
1:56
Speaker 1: find the right tires for how, what and where you
2:00
Speaker 1: drive fast and free. Very important for ferg Dog and
2:04
Speaker 1: Alf the alien O pinter back by free road hazard protection.
2:08
Speaker 1: Mister nice guy likes that with convenient installation options. Econ Roseville,
2:13
Speaker 1: Minnesota thinks that's a good idea. They have multbile tire installation,
2:17
Speaker 1: which is very important, very important. Tire rack dot com
2:20
Speaker 1: the way tire buying should be, so our lead. This
2:22
Speaker 1: hour is from the Eastern Conference NBA game. We go
2:27
Speaker 1: to Boston and this was projected to be a blowout.
2:32
Speaker 1: I got an email from one of our listeners that
2:34
Speaker 1: listens on the Sports Hub in Boston who said, Ben,
2:37
Speaker 1: all the local guys are convinced this is gonna be
2:40
Speaker 1: at most a Gentleman's sweep. Four games should be all
2:43
Speaker 1: the Celtics need to take care of the Knicks, and
2:45
Speaker 1: they're already projecting who they're gonna play in the NBA Finals. Now,
2:48
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's true or not. I'm sleeping
2:50
Speaker 1: during the day. I don't know what those guys are you
2:51
Speaker 1: happing about. But one game, one game into the Eastern
2:55
Speaker 1: Conference semifinals, and things have gone upside down. Top seat Turvey,
2:59
Speaker 1: Jalen Brunts leading the upstart Knickerbockers playing with house money
3:04
Speaker 1: into the Commonwealth for a hoe down with Jason Tatum
3:08
Speaker 1: and the heavily favored Celtics. Were you watching? Were you
3:13
Speaker 1: watching this game? No, of course you were. No. Well,
3:19
Speaker 1: Jalen Brunson and og Ananobi, may the force be with you.
3:25
Speaker 1: They scored twenty nine points in this game and the
3:28
Speaker 1: Knicks leaving the Celtics dazed and confused as they win
3:33
Speaker 1: it in overtime. New York oneh eight, Boston one oh five.
3:38
Speaker 1: So game one goes to the team from the Big Apple,
3:41
Speaker 1: Carl Anthony Towns, who was okay. He had fourteen points,
3:45
Speaker 1: thirteen rebounds. It wasn't a dominating performance by any means.
3:49
Speaker 1: But the Knicks had lost all four games against Boston
3:53
Speaker 1: during the regular season, which again that is what has happened,
3:57
Speaker 1: not is what's going to happen. They lost all four
4:00
Speaker 1: games during the regular season, and that's why they play
4:03
Speaker 1: the games. But New York was down by twenty points
4:07
Speaker 1: in the second half of this game. The Boston Celtics,
4:11
Speaker 1: the reigning champions of the NBA, coughed up a fur ball,
4:17
Speaker 1: a big one. Now Game two, we'll be back on
4:20
Speaker 1: the Parque floor. That'll be on Wednesday night. Jason Tatum
4:24
Speaker 1: and Jalen Brown both had twenty three points for the Celtics,
4:29
Speaker 1: who taken on the chin in game number one. The
4:33
Speaker 1: better story is in that locker room, that is the
4:35
Speaker 1: losing locker room. So that is where we will direct
4:38
Speaker 1: our attention to the question for the esteem panel here,
4:43
Speaker 1: who's the fall guy. Who's the fall guy for the
4:47
Speaker 1: Jason Tatum Celtics. So I've got air force in and
4:51
Speaker 1: out and robust DNA, and we will combine all of
4:56
Speaker 1: these things together and we're going to make Boston cream pie,
5:01
Speaker 1: which is what the Celtics got. A face full Boston
5:03
Speaker 1: cream pie is what they got, all right, So number Why.
5:08
Speaker 1: I said number why, there's a lot of shame and
5:13
Speaker 1: blame to go around. We'd like to shame and blame.
5:15
Speaker 1: It's fun to do here. So Boston was up seventy
5:18
Speaker 1: five to fifty five with less than six minutes to
5:22
Speaker 1: go in the third quarter. Now the game's not over
5:25
Speaker 1: at this that point. Obviously it's not over. They still
5:27
Speaker 1: got a quarter and a half to go with the
5:30
Speaker 1: final seventeen to eighteen minutes of the game or so.
5:34
Speaker 1: If you just merely take care of your business and
5:39
Speaker 1: don't have any major screw ups, you're going to win
5:41
Speaker 1: the game. And as the late great Dennis Green, who
5:44
Speaker 1: worked at Fox Sports Radio for about a month before
5:47
Speaker 1: he got a TV job, said, if you want to
5:49
Speaker 1: crown them, then crown their asses. But they are who
5:53
Speaker 1: we thought they were, and the Celtics let them off
5:56
Speaker 1: the hook. And that's what happened. Now, the issue for
6:00
Speaker 1: Boston in this game down the final eighteen minutes or
6:05
Speaker 1: so of the game. It is a King of Pop classic,
6:08
Speaker 1: The Man in the Mirror. That is what did in
6:11
Speaker 1: the Celtics in this game. The Man in the Mirror,
6:12
Speaker 1: Jason Tatum and much of the same conversation we had
6:17
Speaker 1: In a previous hour, we was talkt about Shay Jilgis
6:20
Speaker 1: Alexander and his shortcomings at the end of the game. Well,
6:23
Speaker 1: the same concept applies here. It's not brain surgery. We're
6:27
Speaker 1: just merely talking about sport. But you look at it,
6:30
Speaker 1: Jason Tatum is supposed to be the franchise player. Close
6:34
Speaker 1: game right now. It wasn't even a close game. It
6:37
Speaker 1: should not have been a close game, but it did
6:38
Speaker 1: turn out to be a close game. And the reason
6:42
Speaker 1: is because the way that you close the game. Jason Tatum,
6:45
Speaker 1: who to my knowledge has no military experience, but he
6:48
Speaker 1: looked like he was in the Air Force and he
6:51
Speaker 1: was a pilot flying the Vomit comet to close out
6:54
Speaker 1: the game. How bad was it? I'll tell you so,
6:58
Speaker 1: Jason Tatuma the eyeball test, you knew it wasn't good.
7:02
Speaker 1: But then to close the game, Jayson Tatum. Over the
7:04
Speaker 1: final twenty minutes, including overtime, Jason Tatum shot three of
7:10
Speaker 1: twelve from the floor. He took twelve shots, he only
7:13
Speaker 1: made three of them. And we're sitting in here where
7:16
Speaker 1: he's supposed to be the franchise player, and we're in
7:19
Speaker 1: here talking about a crap performance by Jason Tatum. The
7:23
Speaker 1: three headed monster of the Boston basketball team turned out
7:28
Speaker 1: to be a three headed Garden slug in this particular game.
7:32
Speaker 1: He had Jason Tatum, Jalen Brown, and Derek White, who
7:35
Speaker 1: has been marvelous. But in the end of the game,
7:37
Speaker 1: up twenty to losing in overtime, Tatum, Brown and White
7:42
Speaker 1: combined to shoot twenty percent twenty point eight percent from
7:46
Speaker 1: the floor in that stretch. And that's how you blow
7:49
Speaker 1: a twenty point lead. And the Celtics as a team,
7:53
Speaker 1: the number that stood out here the forty five missed
7:56
Speaker 1: three point shots, which is an appalling amount of miss
8:00
Speaker 1: three point shots. But the Celtics, just in the time
8:03
Speaker 1: they went up twenty to the close of the game,
8:04
Speaker 1: they attempted twenty eight to three point shots in that stretch.
8:07
Speaker 1: They only made six of them from downtown. So that
8:12
Speaker 1: is the ingredient that will lead you to defeat. So
8:16
Speaker 1: Jason Tatum's gotta wear that now. Page two. And this
8:20
Speaker 1: is a deeper philosophical look at things here. So where
8:25
Speaker 1: is the Celtics panic level? Where's the Celtics panic level
8:28
Speaker 1: after dropping Game one? Is this a mild concern for
8:33
Speaker 1: the Boston basketball team or a full blown crisis.
8:37
Speaker 2: Full blown crisis.
8:40
Speaker 1: So, after a thorough Mallard deliberation and contemplation about the
8:47
Speaker 1: New York Knickerbockers, we have this as a mild concern.
8:52
Speaker 1: As a mild concern, it is a wake up call
8:56
Speaker 1: that you should not have needed. You should not have
8:59
Speaker 1: needed a wake up call in game one of a series.
9:02
Speaker 1: And the question must be asked, did the Celtics underestimate
9:05
Speaker 1: the Knicks? Did they start buying into all the social
9:09
Speaker 1: media chatter that this would be no series, this would
9:11
Speaker 1: be no contest. What is that you're up twenty and
9:16
Speaker 1: you take a little siesta at that that particular point. Now,
9:21
Speaker 1: Joe Missoula, a couple of years ago we nicknamed him,
9:24
Speaker 1: let him play Joe. Let him play Joe, And in
9:27
Speaker 1: this particular game, Joe Mazoo, did he make any adjustments?
9:30
Speaker 1: Maybe he did, I just didn't notice it. Did you
9:32
Speaker 1: notice anything that he did? Things were not going right
9:35
Speaker 1: for the Celtics. Did he ever say, hey, maybe we
9:36
Speaker 1: shouldn't shoot three point shots every effing time down the cart?
9:41
Speaker 1: Did he ever say that? Let him play Joe? I
9:43
Speaker 1: didn't notice any adjustment. I'm not a big coaching matter. Guy.
9:47
Speaker 1: The Denver Nuggets don't have a coach and they just
9:49
Speaker 1: wont a game on the road in the second round
9:51
Speaker 1: of the NBA Playoffs. But the reason I am only
9:54
Speaker 1: at a mild concern, and trust me, you know, doing
9:56
Speaker 1: talk radio, it'd be much more fun, full blown Bible
10:00
Speaker 1: alarm fire for the Celtics, and we will be def
10:04
Speaker 1: Con one if Boston loses on Wednesday. But game one now,
10:08
Speaker 1: we're not gonna go there, not yet cause Madison Square
10:12
Speaker 1: Gardens not tough. A bunch of teams go in there
10:15
Speaker 1: and win. They just it's not like the Knicks have
10:18
Speaker 1: any real home court advantage at Madison Square Gardens, so
10:21
Speaker 1: you lose the next game. And again that's a different conversation.
10:26
Speaker 1: But every extra game, every extra game the Celtics play,
10:30
Speaker 1: the chances of injury go up, the chances of heartbreak
10:36
Speaker 1: hotel go up even more. And then the other question
10:40
Speaker 1: that must be asked is do these Celtics get a pass?
10:43
Speaker 1: Do they get a mulligan? Because the Unicorn hardly played
10:48
Speaker 1: and if you saw the game, you know what I'm
10:49
Speaker 1: talking about here, So that would be as the great
10:54
Speaker 1: judge on a reality TV show, Randy Jackson back in
10:58
Speaker 1: the day said that would be a no for me.
11:00
Speaker 1: Dog no, no, no, no, no.
11:02
Speaker 3: No.
11:03
Speaker 1: Chris tops porzingis played only thirteen minutes. He did not
11:08
Speaker 1: get into the game after halftime because he had an illness.
11:11
Speaker 1: He had the creeping crud or whatever he had. We
11:14
Speaker 1: don't know. He was out. So here's the issue. Boston,
11:19
Speaker 1: even though they didn't have the top record in the East,
11:21
Speaker 1: they are perceived to be the top team. Is that
11:23
Speaker 1: a fair statement. I believe it is. Cleveland had the
11:25
Speaker 1: top record, but most most pundits believe that these Celtics
11:29
Speaker 1: are the better team. So you go into this, You're
11:32
Speaker 1: supposed to be the big bad beast of the East
11:35
Speaker 1: and you're the Boston Celtics. And you think of this
11:37
Speaker 1: like In and Out Burger. Now I know there's no
11:40
Speaker 1: in and out Burger in Boston, but just work with
11:42
Speaker 1: me on this. So they have the secret menu at
11:45
Speaker 1: In and Out Burger and very popular animal style fries,
11:49
Speaker 1: very popular. People love that. Some people like that flying Dutchman.
11:53
Speaker 1: But those are all extra items. You don't need those
11:56
Speaker 1: things to be good to have a good meal. You
11:58
Speaker 1: don't need those things to have a good You don't,
12:01
Speaker 1: and so it's good enough. And the Celtics are good
12:03
Speaker 1: enough without Porzingis. And if Porzingis is the key player,
12:08
Speaker 1: come on, now, the Celtics took so many three point shots.
12:11
Speaker 1: They always do. The difference is they were able to
12:14
Speaker 1: win a game. Remember the Orlando game in the opening round.
12:17
Speaker 1: They won a game the Celtics, and they didn't play
12:21
Speaker 1: very well, they did not do well from three point range,
12:23
Speaker 1: but they won that game. They're playing the Orlando Magic
12:26
Speaker 1: Knicks are a better team obviously than Orlando. But still
12:29
Speaker 1: all right, now, final point, So question, is this knicker
12:34
Speaker 1: Bocker team for real? Should we revisit the analysis leading
12:39
Speaker 1: into this series? Are they for real? Or was this
12:42
Speaker 1: just a case where they they fell behind by twenty
12:45
Speaker 1: New York and then they caught Boston just kind of
12:48
Speaker 1: lollygagging around having an off end of the game. They
12:51
Speaker 1: just thought the game was over. They assumed the Knicks
12:53
Speaker 1: would give up. That's what NBA teams do, like the
12:55
Speaker 1: Clippers and other teams, when they fall behind, they just quit.
12:57
Speaker 1: There are a bunch of gutless quitters. So that's the quest.
13:00
Speaker 1: So the errow on this one is pointing more towards
13:02
Speaker 1: just lollygagging up twenty, lollygagging around again until we see
13:07
Speaker 1: this happen a second consecutive game and the heavy underdog,
13:12
Speaker 1: the Knicks are playing with house money, absolute house money.
13:16
Speaker 1: Now that being said, if the game is close, if
13:19
Speaker 1: the Celtics do not have a comfortable advantage in these
13:24
Speaker 1: games and it's coming down the stretch, who would you
13:28
Speaker 1: rather have in a three or four point game in
13:32
Speaker 1: the final ninety seconds. I'd rather have the Knicks, But
13:38
Speaker 1: mainly because of one guy, right, mainly because of one guy.
13:42
Speaker 1: And that's the interesting thing here that one guy who
13:45
Speaker 1: you know who I'm talking about here, has robust DNA.
13:49
Speaker 1: He was not the reason that the Knicks won this
13:51
Speaker 1: game in overtime. Talk about Jalen Brunson, and Jalen Brunson,
13:55
Speaker 1: who clearly has the optimal genetic makeup for big mores
14:00
Speaker 1: in basketball games, but he didn't score in overtime. He
14:03
Speaker 1: was over four from the floor in overtime, missed a
14:07
Speaker 1: tear drop that should have won the game in regulation,
14:10
Speaker 1: and it still didn't matter. So he got a dud
14:15
Speaker 1: out of the way. Jalen Brunson down twenty. The New
14:19
Speaker 1: York Nation that the reason they got back in the
14:21
Speaker 1: game was in part because of Brunson down twenty, they
14:24
Speaker 1: cranked on the old Phil Collins tune there thunder and lightning,
14:28
Speaker 1: because you had not only Jalen Brunson during the regulation part,
14:33
Speaker 1: but Og and Abe getting it done in a large way. Annobi.
14:39
Speaker 1: He had the clutch gen on this night, big time,
14:42
Speaker 1: big time. Seven of eleven down from down twenty, he
14:46
Speaker 1: made seven of eleven shots and four of seven, four
14:50
Speaker 1: of six, four of six from three point range and
14:53
Speaker 1: including a big overtime as well. I mean, it was
14:57
Speaker 1: just his night to dominate the Celtics who struggled to
15:01
Speaker 1: make the three point shot throughout the game. And so
15:04
Speaker 1: the Celtics all of a sudden don't turn to garbage, right,
15:08
Speaker 1: This is not a garbage situation. They just don't regularly
15:12
Speaker 1: perform close games. Most of the games are lopsided for
15:15
Speaker 1: the Celtics. So and the problem with Jason Tatum, as
15:20
Speaker 1: great as Jason Tatum has been, he didn't have that
15:23
Speaker 1: dog get him. I need dogs, not cats. I need dogs.
15:28
Speaker 1: Doesn't have it, haven't seen it. You trust Jalen Brown
15:32
Speaker 1: more than you would trust Jason Tatum. And that's the
15:34
Speaker 1: real kick to the nuts for the Celtics. So they're
15:38
Speaker 1: down three at the end of the game. You saw
15:40
Speaker 1: what happened to you're watching or you're listen to it.
15:42
Speaker 1: They're down three. The Celtics have the ball, a chance
15:45
Speaker 1: to take a three point shot to tie the game.
15:47
Speaker 1: Jalen Brown, who normally is the guy you want with
15:50
Speaker 1: the ball in your hand at the end of the game,
15:52
Speaker 1: he couldn't even get a shot off because Michel Bridges
15:55
Speaker 1: came over and ripped the ball out of his hands.
15:59
Speaker 1: He's all the ball. There was robbery on the court,
16:03
Speaker 1: so the sellers didn't even get a game time shot
16:05
Speaker 1: up in overtime. You're talking about a masculation situation. What's
16:10
Speaker 1: going on with that? All right? It is the Ben
16:12
Speaker 1: Mahler Show. If you'd like to comment on any of that,

19:14
Speaker 1: bit to Santa Anita. I love the vibe. I like
19:16
Speaker 1: the track. He's got really rich people and really poor
19:18
Speaker 1: people side by side, you super wealthy and super poor,
19:21
Speaker 1: and everyone's you know, mingling together, well not really mingling.
19:25
Speaker 1: There's one side where the rich people are on the
19:26
Speaker 1: one side where the poor people are, but occasionally they
19:28
Speaker 1: interact with each other.
19:29
Speaker 5: Two dollars bets, you know, yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely.
19:34
Speaker 1: Anyway, it is the Ben Mau Show talking about all

Speaker 1: plan when lead a lap fills in? Open all the
19:54
Speaker 1: windows in the studio, or just hold your breath the
19:56
Speaker 1: entire show. That's not my problem, that's the rain is problem.
20:00
Speaker 1: I am on the end of the room. You gotta
20:03
Speaker 1: walk out of a door. You've got to walk down
20:05
Speaker 1: a little hall and make a turn, and there's a door.
20:07
Speaker 1: These are bank vault doors here. These are massive doors.
20:10
Speaker 1: No one can get in here.
20:11
Speaker 6: Now, you think it's not your problem, Ben, But if
20:13
Speaker 6: I get gassed out of this room, yeah, and your
20:16
Speaker 6: boardop is no longer at the board, then whose problem
20:20
Speaker 6: is it?
20:21
Speaker 1: That's Fox Sports Radios problem. That's not my problem. I'm
20:24
Speaker 1: a well be here and that's it. You know, that's all.
20:27
Speaker 1: Now Lee really wants to mess with us. He'll go
20:29
Speaker 1: up to the building where the skunks are and then
20:31
Speaker 1: he'll let one rip right into the air conditioning vents
20:34
Speaker 1: because that'll stink up the whole building. How many times
20:37
Speaker 1: over the years, Lee, you've been here a while now,
20:39
Speaker 1: how many times have there been a skunk on the
20:41
Speaker 1: top of the building that gets into the air conditioning
20:43
Speaker 1: system and the gas is the whole building.
20:46
Speaker 5: We've had a number of instances. We've had bats. Yeah,
20:49
Speaker 5: we've had a skunk. We've had we've had multiple skunks.
20:52
Speaker 5: But the bad thing, yeah, we've done that to the
20:55
Speaker 5: bats have been The number of things that have fallen
20:57
Speaker 5: from the ceiling is wild.
20:59
Speaker 1: Yeah. And the cockroaches which all seem to die right
21:03
Speaker 1: near the old studio. There's a there's a there's a
21:05
Speaker 1: plank of metal and that's like where they go to
21:08
Speaker 1: commit cockroach suicide. They just go right there.
21:10
Speaker 5: And well, I love our solution for it was just, uh,
21:13
Speaker 5: what's that. Well, we put a sticker in front of it.
21:15
Speaker 1: Oh well well yeah, well and yeah, there is a
21:19
Speaker 1: window facing out to the street here where a bunch
21:23
Speaker 1: of cockroaches got in between there's double plane glass and
21:26
Speaker 1: they got in there and they died. And they died
21:28
Speaker 1: in about two thousand and two. It is twenty twenty five,
21:32
Speaker 1: and they are still if you look mommified, they're mummified.
21:35
Speaker 1: They it's wild. You can still see those classic cockroaches
21:39
Speaker 1: from twenty oh two.
21:41
Speaker 6: They literally look like ghosts. These are like shells of
21:44
Speaker 6: But you think.
21:45
Speaker 1: They would have evaporated by now, that they would have
21:47
Speaker 1: gone away, But no, they have not gone away.
21:50
Speaker 5: Proof that they can survive a nuclear holocaust. But not
21:53
Speaker 5: the Fox Sports radio.
21:55
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that. Let me tell you that that logo thing,
21:59
Speaker 1: the strip of oxporstrated logo tape they put up there,
22:02
Speaker 1: very impressive, outstanding. Eugenie in Chicago says our number four.
22:06
Speaker 3: Ben.
22:06
Speaker 1: You got to give your thoughts on Justin Tucker getting
22:08
Speaker 1: fired by the Baltimore Ravens. Well, maybe we will maybe
22:11
Speaker 1: we won't. What else we have Paige and Andy in
22:15
Speaker 1: Line Lakes, Minnesota rights and says, thank you for lamb
22:18
Speaker 1: basing Jeff from Denver. Maybe we won't have to listen
22:21
Speaker 1: to his calls until Game five when the Chicken Nuggets
22:25
Speaker 1: end their season. Love it, there you go, Nate says,
22:29
Speaker 1: Coach Adelman looks like Murray from Impractical Jokers. Yeah, that
22:35
Speaker 1: is a more contemporary reference. That is actually pretty good, Nate.
22:39
Speaker 1: That's a bad job by me. One of my buddies
22:41
Speaker 1: text me is that. Yeah, that coach of the Nuggets
22:43
Speaker 1: looks like Edward k Newman. But that's a dated reference.
22:46
Speaker 1: He does look just like Murray from Impractical Jokers. That's
22:50
Speaker 1: a good call by you, Nate. That's solid. Now, every
22:54
Speaker 1: time I see the Nuggets coach, I'm gonna think of
22:55
Speaker 1: Murray from that show. That's what I'm gonna thinking of. Yeah, anyway,
23:00
Speaker 1: six some phone calls here. I would like to point
23:02
Speaker 1: out the Celtics lost. Now, when the Celtics win, it's
23:05
Speaker 1: like I'm doing Boston Celtic postgame talk. When they lose,
23:09
Speaker 1: suddenly the phone stopped working in Boston and all over
23:13
Speaker 1: the New England States. It is a shocking situation. I'm
23:17
Speaker 1: sure it's just a kawinkie dink that when the Celtics
23:20
Speaker 1: take it on the chin or they take in the shorts,
23:23
Speaker 1: that all of a sudden, all those proud, boisterous Bostonians
23:27
Speaker 1: suddenly can't call in. I'm sure it's just a coincidence,
23:31
Speaker 1: nothing else. Let's go to the phones. Miami, Miami, Miami.
23:34
Speaker 1: Weed Man, hippie, who is actually in Hollywood, Florida? Hello,
23:39

23:49
Speaker 1: Did you watch it on a Russian website? Weed Man?
23:51
Speaker 1: Do you have that Russian link? You sit around all day,

24:08
Speaker 1: gained any weight. You're you're still very You're a thin man,
24:11
Speaker 1: weed man, I am. Yeah. Most people that would just
24:14
Speaker 1: sit around and watch TV all day, that would not
24:16
Speaker 1: be good for them. You'd gain a lot of weight.
24:18
Speaker 1: But you're not eating I guess, so you don't have
24:19
Speaker 1: to worry about it.
24:25
Speaker 3: What So, who's the heavyweight champ in the world.
24:29
Speaker 1: That would be Muhammed Ali heavyweight. Muhammad Ali, the greatest
24:34
Speaker 1: boxer of all.
24:36
Speaker 3: Really, you know, to see boxing all the time now
24:39
Speaker 3: I've never ever see it.
24:41
Speaker 1: Well, boxing killed itself. They went to the pay per
24:43
Speaker 1: view model and they no longer the people stop caring.
24:48
Speaker 1: And then now you've got the people are into the UFC.
24:50
Speaker 3: Now I'm not yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
24:54
Speaker 1: The great Alexander Yusik is the heavyweight champion of the world.

Speaker 1: I don't know who that is either, have no idea.
25:02
Speaker 3: You know, Aaron George is hitting three or three forty,
25:06
Speaker 3: I mean four thirty.
25:08
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's playing. I actually watched some of that Yankee game.
25:10
Speaker 1: There was a they were playing for like two innings
25:13
Speaker 1: and it was raining and the rain was the size
25:16
Speaker 1: of actual peanut M and m's And they played for
25:18
Speaker 1: two innings and that and then there was a I
25:20
Speaker 1: don't know if they finished the game. I think they
25:22
Speaker 1: did finish the game, but there was.
25:23
Speaker 3: A lot that's crazy.
25:27
Speaker 1: Oh, the Potters beat the Yankees, and they came back
25:29
Speaker 1: to beat the yank Yankees are up to nothing at
25:31
Speaker 1: that rain delay, and the Yankees blew it. But that
25:34
Speaker 1: problems in the Bronx. Aaron Judges hitting four to fourteen.
25:37
Speaker 1: He was zero for three. Now, bad job by.
25:40
Speaker 3: Okay, let yesterday it was four thirty one.

Speaker 1: said he's in Alaska. Did you say he's in Alaska? Larna,
26:40
Speaker 1: I didn't say it lea. Did you say he's in Alaska?

Speaker 1: intern guy that answered the phone. Really, why interns don't

Speaker 1: know what they're talking about? Come on, we'll go to Alaska.
26:56
Speaker 1: Why would you go to Alaska?
26:57
Speaker 3: Come on, man, I would go That's crazy.
27:00
Speaker 1: That's like your night Your nightmare is to go to Alaska, right,
27:03
Speaker 1: that's to be your nightmare. Yeah, you're you're about far
27:06
Speaker 1: away in America. Well, I guess you go to key West,
27:08
Speaker 1: you'd be a little further away. But other than that,
27:10
Speaker 1: you're you're pretty safe.
27:12
Speaker 3: I like to I don't want to be cold.
27:15
Speaker 1: You've made that perfectly clear. That's why you do not
27:17
Speaker 1: want to go to Louisville. You could have been at
27:19
Speaker 1: the Kentucky Derby weed man. Remember the guy in Louisville
27:21
Speaker 1: said you can go there and you can work on
27:23
Speaker 1: the horses and clean up the poop, and then they'll
27:25
Speaker 1: give you a place to stay for free.
27:26
Speaker 3: No, I might want to do that. When this guy
27:29
Speaker 3: comes back, I might want to do that. Might take
27:30
Speaker 3: you up on that.
27:31
Speaker 1: I don't believe you. I don't I don't believe you're
27:35
Speaker 1: not going to do that. You're not doing that. I know,
27:37
Speaker 1: I know you're not going to do that. There's no chance, zero.
27:41
Speaker 3: Chance from acwadog.
27:44
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a different than than Churchill downs, you know,
27:48
Speaker 1: just saying so, all right, any are you done? I say,
27:51
Speaker 1: you have nothing else? You just want to say hello.
27:53
Speaker 1: That's all. You have a couple of error Judge lines
27:55
Speaker 1: and the Knicks line, and that's it. You're good every night, unbelievable,
28:01
Speaker 1: every single bleeping night. All right, yeah, go away, thank you.
28:04
Speaker 1: Here he is the wed Man hit eight seven, seven
28:08
Speaker 1: ninety nine on Fox the number, and that leads us
28:12
Speaker 1: into Jalen Brown. Jalen Brown, who was not in a
28:18
Speaker 1: giving mood, not in a giving mood postgame. So the
28:22
Speaker 1: Celtics missed an NBA record forty five three point shots.
28:29
Speaker 1: This record has been broken multiple time. I think there's
28:32
Speaker 1: a the third time the record's been broken in the
28:34
Speaker 1: playoffs for miss three point shots in a playoff game.
28:37
Speaker 1: And that is the storyline that everyone's running with the
28:39
Speaker 1: Celtics the greatest three point shooting team in the regular season,
28:42
Speaker 1: blah blah blah, modern era, and they just missed the
28:46
Speaker 1: most three point shots in a playoff game during the
28:49
Speaker 1: modern era. So after the game, Jalen Brown was asked
28:53
Speaker 1: how the Knicks defense was different from the or Lando
28:57
Speaker 1: Magic and what they did in the first round, and
29:00
Speaker 1: Jalen Brown he essentially claimed that the Knicks were a
29:04
Speaker 1: non factor and then missing a record amount of shots.
29:08
Speaker 1: He said, Orlando kind of took the three point line away.
29:12
Speaker 1: It felt like the Knicks were kind of daring us
29:16
Speaker 1: to shoot, like they wanted us to shoot those shots.
29:19
Speaker 1: We just didn't make them tonight, he said. Quote continues,
29:23
Speaker 1: but it felt like we had a ton of good looks.
29:27
Speaker 1: Some maybe we forced up blah blah blah blah blah.
29:30
Speaker 1: Actually I don't disagree with that. I don't disagree that
29:33
Speaker 1: the Celtics did appear to have a lot of would
29:36
Speaker 1: appear to be wide open three point shots that they missed.
29:40
Speaker 1: And Jalen Brown went one of ten from the three
29:43
Speaker 1: point line even though he had twenty three points, one
29:46
Speaker 1: of ten from the three point line and his efficiency
29:51
Speaker 1: was horrific. He made only seven of his twenty field
29:53
Speaker 1: goal attempts, shooting thirty five percent from the floor. So
29:57
Speaker 1: it did not want to give the Knicks and as
30:01
Speaker 1: you don't disagree with that. It sounds bad. The headline's
30:03
Speaker 1: not particularly good, but that's that's about about right. Remember
30:08
Speaker 1: there was a Laker game where Minnesota missed a bunch
30:11
Speaker 1: of shots the game they lost, and people were giving
30:15
Speaker 1: the Lakers defense credit and giving the podcaster coach that fraud,
30:19
Speaker 1: JJ Reddick. How's he not been fired? By the way,
30:21
Speaker 1: how's JJ Reddick not been fired? Holy crap, that guy,
30:24
Speaker 1: I've fired him right away. That's representing your franchise, that
30:27
Speaker 1: pampas a hole. Of course, the Lakers are a franchise
30:30
Speaker 1: that supports pampas a holes. Anyway, the Lakers, we're getting
30:34
Speaker 1: credited for this great defensive effort and there were just
30:37
Speaker 1: a bunch of missed miss jump shots. Now let's move
30:40
Speaker 1: over back to the Oklahoma City Thunder OKC and they
30:46
Speaker 1: go down. They blow a thirteen point lead in the
30:49
Speaker 1: final minutes, and Shay jilgis Alexander of the Thunder, who's
30:54
Speaker 1: going to be the MVP, did not seem too concerned,
30:59
Speaker 1: did not seem too concerned. The post game, here, he's
31:01
Speaker 1: at the dais there, he's drinking a sports drink. He's
31:05
Speaker 1: sitting next to one of his teammates there at the
31:07
Speaker 1: dais and I did not seem too worried about the loss.
31:12
Speaker 1: Take a list. We have the audio on this, all right,
31:13
Speaker 1: let's go to the audio tape.
31:14
Speaker 5: Take a list, Chey, obviously, taste of adversity here tonight.
31:18
Speaker 5: What's your expectation of how this team will respond to tonight?
31:23
Speaker 1: Yeah, it should be good. It should be fun, fun, fun.
31:27
Speaker 7: We're gonna find out what we're made of, we're really
31:28
Speaker 7: made of, and we can't expect it to be smooth
31:32
Speaker 7: sailing this whole journey. No journey in life is, and
31:34
Speaker 7: we know that. And today's a bump in their own unexpected.
31:39
Speaker 7: No one expects to lose, especially that way. But it's
31:42
Speaker 7: the game of life. So yeah, it's about how you
31:45
Speaker 7: respond to getting to getting knocked down. And that's what
31:47
Speaker 7: we gotta do next game.
31:48
Speaker 1: Well, if you really want to have some fun, lose
31:50
Speaker 1: the next two games and then you'll see what you're
31:52
Speaker 1: really made of. Go out there, okay, see and just
31:55
Speaker 1: drop a deuce right there at mid court in the
31:57
Speaker 1: next two games.
31:58
Speaker 3: Now.
31:58
Speaker 1: Also in that clip, Williams of the Thunder was sitting
32:02
Speaker 1: next to Shay yogas Alexander and he did something that
32:06
Speaker 1: very few people do. He appeared to smell the I
32:10
Speaker 1: think he was drinking like a gatorade and he smelled it.
32:14
Speaker 1: Have you ever smelled the gatorade? Like, I've never. That's
32:19
Speaker 1: not something I've ever do they really even smell? I
32:22
Speaker 1: haven't had. I haven't had gatorade in a while. Like,
32:26
Speaker 1: is there really a smell to the gatorade? I feel
32:28
Speaker 1: like it's not. I don't think there's a smell to it.
32:30
Speaker 1: I don't think it's a scent based product. I don't.
32:32
Speaker 1: I don't. Maybe maybe it is. It was very odd
32:35
Speaker 1: He's sitting up there, nobody was talking to him, and
32:36
Speaker 1: so he was just sitting there and he's trying to
32:38
Speaker 1: kill time, and he appeared to be sniffing the beverage.
32:42
Speaker 1: So it was rather odd anyway, all right, yes, yes, Lee, Well.
32:47
Speaker 4: This single to could have been something in the gatorade.
32:49
Speaker 1: Oh oh that's good point. Yes, that's see that. It
32:53
Speaker 1: looked to me like those were just the gatorades that
32:55
Speaker 1: were on the table. You know how they have the
32:56
Speaker 1: product placement at these NBA games, like they just happened
32:59
Speaker 1: to have the sports make up on the on the podium.
33:01
Speaker 1: Remember in the one of the Clipper games, Kawhi Leonard
33:05
Speaker 1: took the drink off the table and said, kids shouldn't
33:08
Speaker 1: be drinking this. I don't think that's what the sponsor
33:13
Speaker 1: was looking for, but I don't know. Maybe they were
33:14
Speaker 1: happy with that. You know, any publicity's good publicity and
33:17
Speaker 1: all that. Who knows, man alive.
33:20
Speaker 4: What's your color of choice on Gatorade?
33:22
Speaker 1: Well, visually, I like the blue. I think the blue
33:25
Speaker 1: Arctic freeze. Yeah, the Arctic freeze. I think that's just
33:27
Speaker 1: really cool. But then I occasionally, because I grew up
33:30
Speaker 1: with wind decks, I think sometimes I'm just drinking wind decks.
33:32
Speaker 1: You know, it's a similar color and all that. But
33:34
Speaker 1: I like the color blue.
33:35
Speaker 4: So yeah, anyway, blue is the best flavor.
33:38
Speaker 1: You're going with the blue blue? Team blue?
33:40
Speaker 4: Well, it looks refreshing.
33:42
Speaker 1: Loreno though, on the other hand, I'm guessing she doesn't
