00:56

01:13

like he did it himself the internet just

01:14

01:17

he watches the show he's feel our show

01:19

cute feeling cute that's a different

01:22

meme guys let's just get to the show brw

01:25

is your faith in the Celtics

01:27

shaken no because you guys know I have

01:32

been lukewarm on the Celtics all year

01:35

yeah and now I think they'll win the

01:36

East and I still feel that way they were

01:38

my pick but it's about a championship

01:41

for them they've won the East before

01:43

they've been to the Conference Finals

01:45

before they got to win a championship

01:47

and I've said it look we think Denver's

01:49

winning this series now against the

01:51

Lakers I think the lak if the Lakers

01:53

could win that series I think they could

01:55

beat Boston I think whoever comes out of

01:58

the West

02:00

assuming it's Denver it won't be the

02:02

Lakers but if the like I think there are

02:04

teams in the west that could beat I

02:05

think Minnesota would beat Boston I

02:07

think if they show the the mental

02:10

toughness and maturity to get out of the

02:12

West yeah I mean that's the thing I

02:14

don't look at Boston as your typical 64

02:17

win team no I I'm like they are lucky

02:20

the Eastern Conference is in shambles

02:23

all right that's it now they're a good

02:25

team don't get me wrong but no my faith

02:27

wasn't shaken it's where it is all right

02:30

and they look last night what happened

02:33

was Miami and this is what Miami does

02:36

they combine toughness they're the

02:39

tougher team both mentally and

02:41

physically with three-point three-point

02:44

Marksmanship and that's what they did

02:46

and I know jaylen's like hey they were

02:48

hot what do you do you know what though

02:51

they get hot a lot against Boston that's

02:53

weird in four of their last nine playoff

02:56

games against each other they've hit 50%

02:58

of their threes that's odd like it could

03:01

happen again I mean the numbers tell us

03:03

it will happen again in this series and

03:06

so that's the thing and I wish I had

03:08

thought of this before I would have told

03:10

Kett you know what the Celtics are oh no

03:13

they some breakdowns oh no they a

03:15

finesse under Joe Missoula they're

03:17

finesse oh see this is what I was

03:19

waiting for because you're putting a lot

03:20

of this on the coach yeah look they

03:22

weren't a finesse team under eme udoka

03:25

no they were tough they were hard NOS

03:27

they just ran into an experienced Golden

03:29

State team

03:30

that if they don't get out of the East

03:33

this is on Missoula and look porzingis

03:36

was they guard him with Caleb Martin

03:38

yeah porzingis couldn't get any shots in

03:40

the paint for the most part that's on

03:42

him but again he's a finesse player of

03:45

course I so like of course you have to

03:47

lose some Faith this was by a point

03:52

spread standpoint the biggest upset in

03:55

the NBA playoffs since the 2019

04:00

Pat Bev Lou Williams Clippers beat the

04:03

Warriors in that game that then LED

04:05

Kevin Durant to say I'm Kevin Durant do

04:08

you know who I am I'm Kevin Durant so

04:09

it's the biggest upset in the playoffs

04:11

in five years and it's a it's a terrible

04:16

loss that also Missoula and jayen brown

04:20

misdiagnosed after when they say oh they

04:23

were hitting tough shots we had good

04:26

Closeouts by the tracking data 20 three

04:30

of those 43 three-point attempts were

04:32

classified as wide open so no one within

04:35

5T so yes to make 23 of they obviously

04:39

all 23 were the makes but what I'm

04:41

saying is more than half of the

04:43

three-point attempts were wide open and

04:45

so yes it was a hot shooting night but

04:48

it wasn't because of nothing Boston did

04:51

and I you are I I agree with you brew

04:55

that there for Boston anything short of

04:57

a championship this year is going to be

05:00

disappointment he he doesn't get fired

05:01

if they get to the finals correct but

05:04

and I would even say anything getting to

05:06

the finals and losing to Denver I don't

05:09

even know if people will look at that as

05:11

anything other than that Denver is the

05:12

team right now that's right but losses

05:15

like this do make me question if they're

05:18

going to be playing in the finals

05:20

because I don't think they're going to

05:22

lose to Miami in the series and I don't

05:24

think they're going to lose to Cleveland

05:25

in the next series but in those

05:27

Conference Finals you will either be

05:29

playing in opinion with respect to the

05:31

Pacers a Milwaukee team that will have

05:33

Giannis back a a Philly team that at

05:36

that point will have embiid must be

05:38

healthier and they will be rolling or a

05:40

Knicks team that is

05:42

the like Miami but without its best

05:46

player injured and a loss like last

05:48

night Wilds makes me feel like man oh

05:51

man are the Celtics lucky that Jimmy

05:52

Butler got hurt like that and and that

05:55

would have been and the second straight

05:58

year that an eight seed Miami against a

06:00

one seed Boston either gave him trouble

06:02

or you know beat him or I guess Boston

06:04

was in the one last year pardon me but

06:05

an eight seed Miami beat him in the in

06:07

the Boston was the two last year so like

06:11

that's a awful loss I don't know that it

06:14

takes away I agree with you they're

06:16

going to win the series but they lost

06:17

homec court advantage too like there are

06:19

tangible and practical thing losses that

06:22

they had last night too not just kind of

06:24

psychological okay so here are the uh

06:26

deeper dig on the numbers Brew on heat

06:29

from three and how hot they were third

06:31

highest uh percentage on 40 attempts or

06:34

more in playoff history so we all know

06:36

this here's the weird thing Celtics

06:39

great at home during the regular season

06:42

and now we're at two playoff uh oh

06:44

excuse me last three years they're 12

06:47

and 13 at home a lot of these are are

06:50

weird losses a lot of them are heat

06:52

losses what do you make of this this

06:54

point losses is crazy if you look at

06:56

that number over three years in 100 that

07:00

133 games they have six double digit

07:03

losses and then in 3 years in 25 playoff

07:06

games six double- digigit losses that's

07:08

crazy what you look I've got to look at

07:10

my best players particularly the guys

07:12

who have the ball in their hands at the

07:14

end of the game Jaylen Brown and Jason

07:16

Tatum now you guys know I love Jason

07:18

Tatum I was pushing for him to be in

07:19

club Superstar before he was in it and

07:21

he is a superstar but he has not been

07:25

clutched and in the playoffs obviously

07:27

you had some blowout losses but in the

07:29

playoff off S the games are generally

07:31

going to be close and so what is your

07:34

execution like and what are your two

07:36

main guys like do they have ice in their

07:38

veins or not and they can have a

07:40

tendency too to be too much ISO

07:42

isolation basketball and that's an issue

07:45

too I'm going to bring up two other

07:47

quick points one is the big difference

07:49

between this year's Celtics and last

07:50

year's Celtics are the player

07:51

Acquisitions right Drew holiday is one

07:53

of my favorite players post Championship

07:56

he obviously had a rough couple

07:58

postseasons will'll see this one Chris

08:00

STS has no postseason resume whatsoever

08:03

he has one really good playoff game in

08:05

his career he had only played in a you

08:07

know 10 playoff games prior to this

08:09

series and so leaning on him a ton could

08:13

be problematic we'll see they he's a

08:16

critical part of there too 100% but that

08:19

and but he's to playoff unknown but the

08:21

last point I'll make is this everything

08:23

and this is one of the things I love

08:24

about sports and I love about the NBA

08:26

Playoffs everything has a cost so we are

08:29

going to see over the next two months

08:31

guys I'm not even necessarily talking

08:32

about stars but a fourth guy or a fifth

08:35

guy a guy like Grayson Allen for Phoenix

08:37

oh he turned his ankle he's out a week

08:38

he's out when you as I guess the common

08:42

Parliament now was play with your food

08:44

when you allow these series to extend

08:46

things can happen true and then it's

08:48

less of a like oh you got unlucky you

08:50

dealt with an injur if somebody from

08:52

Boston gets dinged in a game six against

08:54

Miami that's this game's fault if that

08:57

you know what I mean and if you're

08:58

trying to win a champion ship all of

09:00

that stuff has to matter this is going

09:01

to be a tough Series yeah I mean I think

09:03

at this point it's going to go six do

09:05

you think Boston's going to win the next

09:06

three you think five you think they're

09:08

going to win both in Miami I don't think

09:09

just be like the Denver series split

09:11

they split at home and it's like all

09:13

right let's go and take care of business

09:14

yeah I four is better than Boston okay I

09:17

know but on paper 4-1 the spoler gets

09:19

one that's what he does

09:23

okay I mean listen this here's the deal

09:27

the and I I apologize because I don't

09:30

want to be unfair but the Lakers if you

09:32

watch them night in night out they're

09:34

obviously not a well coach team and I

09:36

feel that I think it's tangible I think

09:39

you can see it and I think that we have

09:41

no problem saying we in the series we

09:44

just watched or we just talked about

09:46

that is a coaching mismatch that is Eric

09:48

spola Joe moula and Joe moula is in his

09:51

second years's ahead coach who got to a

09:53

Conference finals last year is we are

09:56

saying potentially coaching for his job

09:59

in this postseason but because I feel

10:03

like in the media at large there's a

10:06

little bit of a calvinball when it comes

10:08

to what we are and aren't allowed to

10:10

criticize when it comes to LeBron James

10:11

coaches right it's like okay you can't

10:14

criticize Frank vogle because he won a

10:16

championship so that's a weird thing

10:18

right because won a championship in my

10:20

opinion because of LeBron's greatness so

10:22

now in ad so now he's uncriticizable but

10:25

now he's in Phoenix and he's going to

10:26

get fired here in about 10 days and

10:28

everyone's fine with it the and so I

10:31

think I don't get I'm I'm trying to be

10:32

fresh but I don't understand what you're

10:34

so vogle got criticized that's the thing

10:36

LeBron's coaches B criticized correct

10:39

and then and then I think when it comes

10:41

to when we have talked about Frank vogle

10:43

on this show it has been oh what you

10:46

wanted more from Frank vogle what do you

10:47

want he w a championship wanted him to

10:49

get his get exactly that's your take

10:51

that's your take I don't think he was

10:53

very good I don't think he was good in

10:54

Orlando I don't think he was good in Los

10:56

Angeles they won a championship despite

10:57

I don't think he's done a good job in

10:59

Phoenix who's great in Indiana first

11:01

stop I don't think Darin Ham's done a

11:03

good job I don't think anyone can point

11:05

to anything that he's done a good job

11:06

now would that change this series I

11:10

don't know I know the last game

11:11

literally was as close as it possibly

11:13

could have been and we think Mike

11:14

Malone's an excellent coach so do I

11:16

think the Lakers are frustrated yes do I

11:19

think that they are right now at a

11:20

massive coaching deficit similar to what

11:23

we're dealing with in Miami Boston I do

11:26

do I think people are hesitant to that

11:28

because they think it's like protecting

11:29

LeBron yeah that's what I think he's

11:32

getting criticized yeah ham is on the

11:35

hot seat so you on the hot I'm not

11:39

saying he should be but he's being

11:41

scapegoated so but is it a scapegoat if

11:44

you if you're the problem was he a bad

11:46

coach when they won in season tournament

11:48

was he a bad coach when they were up 20

11:50

this is my point do you see what I'm now

11:52

what well yeah but I I got confused

11:55

about the Vogal stuff because you're

11:56

saying Vogal was a mediocre coach but

11:59

LeBron and ad's greatness were able to

12:01

overcome it now Darin Ham's a mediocre

12:03

Co coach but might be worse might be

12:06

worse and they're not able to to over

12:08

com yeah they're older and a harder

12:10

opponent LeBron is an awesome obviously

12:14

player when he wins it's LeBron's credit

12:18

when he

12:19

doesn't his teammates and his coaches

12:22

get blank we have seen that time and

12:25

time again except I guess every stop so

12:28

but they but that's spola was being

12:30

criticized Miami say so so I so I

12:33

disagree with that spola LeBron his

12:35

first year there LeBron and Wade went to

12:37

Riley and complained about spola and

12:39

then Riley said no and now spola is

12:43

universally recognized as as a great

12:45

coach but he wasn't then in the moment

12:48

like I think by the end he wasn't spoler

12:51

wasn't scapegoated for how them losing

12:53

the fourth finals no he wasn't no I'm

12:56

talking about the first year they they

12:58

woned sper was getting criticized was he

13:01

not a good now obviously he's a better

13:02

Coach better coach now but my my point

13:04

is this all right Michael Mone is a

13:07

great coach he he's up there with spos I

13:10

agree so they do have a coaching

13:12

Advantage yes but I want to address

13:14

Anthony Davis oh wow what he said we

13:18

didn't know what we were doing okay out

13:20

there at

13:22

times that is making an excuse that is

13:26

passing the buck that is look looking

13:29

for a scapegoat and that is not the

13:32

mentality that's going to get you back

13:34

in this series yeah right blaming the

13:36

refs yes right look in the mirror cuz

13:41

Anthony I know what you were doing

13:45

nothing in the fourth quarter you were

13:48

doing nothing you played 10 minutes 9

13:50

Minutes 55 seconds to be exact you took

13:54

one shot did he take one shot you got

13:57

one rebound you had zero points but

14:00

that's Darin H fault you have the clout

14:03

my man to say give me the ball I've been

14:06

killing these dudes for two quarters

14:08

give me the ball you didn't do that you

14:11

know what happened Aaron

14:14

Gordon muscled you up we know you don't

14:16

like physical play Aaron Gordon muscled

14:19

you up and you were looking for Darin or

14:22

Phil handy or somebody to give you some

14:25

advice what can you what can I do with

14:27

what the coaches are for you know what

14:30

okay if they didn't tell you I'mma tell

14:32

you okay well you wor with Anthony I'mma

14:34

tell you big boy him okay what does

14:37

Chris mean by Big Boy him the same thing

14:40

ni yish did to you okay that's when it

14:43

was time in the fourth quarter for a

14:45

bucket he backed you down and put a

14:48

bucket over you while being filed if I'm

14:50

not mistaken that's what you need to do

14:52

to a Gordon cuz he's smaller than you is

14:55

that enough is that somebody telling you

14:57

what to do okay brw can I tell you

14:58

something is someone who's watched 70

15:00

Lakers games this year I wish you were

15:03

the coach and so that I there is like

15:05

you know what you've sold me on and so I

15:08

so but Wilds now maybe I didn't explain

15:11

it properly but I think brw's response

15:13

to me was kind of the frustration part

15:16

it's like if they whenever they succeed

15:19

it can't if if it it is used as evidence

15:22

there that that's a good coach but by

15:25

that same logic then when they fail it

15:28

has to then that evidence it's a bad

15:30

coach or can we evaluate it and look at

15:32

it just like we are with Missoula versus

15:34

bolra and we think that is a big deficit

15:37

just like moua resume right now looks

15:40

great but you are saying is on the hot

15:43

seat you know why we think it's with

15:45

Missoula it's not cuz cuz the analytics

15:48

Kings out there love Missoula I mean you

15:51

you listen to them oh my gosh this team

15:53

is historically great they're awesome

15:55

right you know why we look at Joe at

15:57

least me Joe Mulan say you should be on

15:59

the hot seat cuz you were in the finals

16:01

the year before you got there and now

16:04

we're going backwards yes and the Lakers

16:06

I I just that was Champion you know how

16:08

I judge coaches results I'm not going to

16:11

sit here and tell an NBA coach they

16:13

don't know what they doing cuz they know

16:14

the EX better than me I'm going I'm
