00:00Celtics loss last night

00:02You also use the tube which you used earlier this morning at the start of the show

00:07two guys having career nights excuse so

00:11They did I mean

00:14Dylan the villain averages 13 points per game and last night he had a 36 piece

00:20So I mean good for them and at the end I get what he's talking about because he put

00:24Luke Cornett in a bad position for some reason

00:27I don't know why he was on that side of the court trying to cover either Jalen Greed or the kid. Amen. It's it

00:33Amen. Amen. Yeah, he's new to their starting lineup to like that that that change has helped them a lot

00:38And he averages like 13. Yeah, what do you have it? He had a 33, right?

00:42Game dog in the twitch chat says that Joe Mazzuola clearly out coached by Ime Udoka

00:49We talked about that earlier this morning as well. I would say that last night. Yeah, I think he got out coach

00:54I think he there was a couple decisions that he made

00:57I mean he wasted his timeouts at the end of the game. So

01:01Challenge and I think you I forget what the challenge was. Oh, did you holiday?

01:06You know try to pull the seat from underneath them foul

01:09So yeah, I think last night he got out coach, but I'm not concerned one bit about this team

01:15There's still got the I mean, I don't know how you would be like what concerns you

01:19It just concerns me that I expected that they were going to at this point in the season

01:26Have

01:28Under 10 losses, right? I would I mean this no one pays to win 60 games

01:32Okay, and I would say that you at the beginning of the season said nobody's stopping this team and they've been stopped 15

01:38No, no. No, I was I listen I co-signed Greg's 82 and oh because you know, I was hoping for it

01:44But for me, I I knew they were gonna be one of the best teams in the NBA

01:47I mean, yeah, what are they last 20 games? What are they 500 or just above like I that's a that's a fourth of the season

01:55500 as the most talented roster. Yeah, I would say that's kind of alarming. I think they're 500 in the last 10

02:01Yeah, I mean I shine could go back and do it. Yeah, cuz at one point they were at through 16 games

02:06They were eight and eight so and that was probably last week sometime

02:11I

02:13Don't like I'm not concerned one bit. They're still gonna end up the season. We stipulate that you're not concerned

02:18No, I mean because you just keep saying well, they they didn't win they

02:24They didn't they're not setting a record when it comes to wins. Thank you. I mean, that's what you're saying

02:29No, it's Curtis. Are you just saying you're worried cuz you hate Joe Missoula? I don't hate anybody

02:34Curtis is probably not worried about it. He just likes Joe Missoula. You don't love him

02:38You say someone hates someone when they don't agree with you. I don't hate him at all. I've never met the guy

02:42I don't know anything about him personally. I really don't he seems like I didn't mean it as like a personal attack

02:47I just meant it as you disagree a lot with Joe Missoula, you know

02:50I disagree with wiggy that Joe Missoula is the best coach in the NBA and the rest of the league agrees considering you didn't get

02:56A single vote for coach of the year. Well, I would say this that they're probably gonna end the season with more than 51 wins

03:03Correct. I was there over under I don't know. I think it might have been like 60 something

03:08I'd have to double check. They're gonna put it like this. They're gonna end the season with a better record

03:13Then email Doka had when he may took him to the NBA Finals, right?

03:21Is this team much more talented than that it's the most talented roster in the league by hands down

03:26What was their over under the year? They made it to the NBA Finals

03:31Yeah, they have the best player in the NBA I would say that Drew Holliday and Derek White are not playing up

03:38They're having off year, right?

03:40So when you look at or they had exceptional years last year, right when you look at do they have talent?

03:46Yes, I would say they have the best player or one of the top three got two max guys first off, right?

03:53Jalen Brown's not having the same year. He had last year. That's cuz he's been assigned a new role. That's I

04:00mean

04:02Bozingas is getting healthy. I

04:04Just if there's there's not one team in my opinion that whether it's an

04:09Western Conference team or an Eastern Conference team seven game series that's gonna beat them four games

04:14So that's why I'm not concerned when the playoffs come

04:17I I am NOT concerned one bit at all that there's a team that I would even go

04:24Yeah, they scare me Subaru of New England text line from Rhode Island. Hello, Rhode Island

04:31Thank you so much for supporting this show

04:34in Rhode Island

04:36Celtics are 11 and 10 in the last 21

04:40So 500 yep plus yeah, we won't talk about the coaching staff until they're eliminated. Yeah, we won't that's good

04:47That but that's the way it works in sports

04:50Really the Patriots in the middle of a season going 500. We wouldn't be talking

04:54Oh, no, no, but we're talking if the Patriots go 500

04:57Then that means that they're sitting there in the middle of the season

05:00They're sitting there four and four when the Patriots would

05:03Know

05:05We are talking about a team that is sitting there with the third best record in the NBA that has went

05:12500 in their last 20 games

05:14There's a major difference

05:16you would acknowledge starting the season and going 20 and 5 or whatever it was and then going

05:24500 adding 11 losses is a little bit concern

05:27No, because I listen I know this team this team is still good. They're still gonna finish the season with 60-plus wins

05:36so I

05:37My thing was when they have the fourth best record the Rockets are one game ahead of them. Oh, yeah

05:42That's because they've played one more game than the Rockets. All right, so there they have the fourth best record in the NBA

05:48And I mean 508 texter says email was pants down the best coach last night

05:58Yeah, he did have on the tightest pants dog give him that I mean he had some nut huggers on last night

06:19This is

06:21Eddie in the car. Good morning, Eddie

06:24Hey guys, good morning. Listen, wiggy drives me crazy. You've been driving me crazy for years

06:29The problem I have right now is this cook this coach could not get these guys

06:34Motivated to play a game last night to win that game with everything that went on in the last road trip

06:40Then them playing the way they did in LA

06:42They needed to come home and they needed to show up and they needed to win that game and this coach

06:47Cannot motivate this team to win and Jason Tatum when you shoot eight

06:52Threes and you missed every single one of them maybe find another spot and get a little closer

06:57It's just not acceptable and these guys may they just can't turn it on and turn it off

07:01It's just it's not that easy in the NBA. The challenge is too good

07:04I just think he's one of these one for seven, but that might be you know, it's it's it's me

07:11It's not you kind of an issue with us Eddie because like we the NBA

07:16It's a different

07:19The players are a different bird than they used to be so the expectation I would be I would expect that that team

07:27Against the Los Angeles Lakers. Mm-hmm

07:30Your all-time rival is going to be up for and and in that game to win it and they weren't but it's the regular

07:39Season, right? So I these guys don't care

07:43They just don't well

07:44They better care because right now there's a lot of heat on them and all of us fans are

07:49Nervous about what's going on?

07:50And if they couldn't get up for Houston last night, then who can you get up for your old coach comes to town?

07:55You need to come and play that game. You need to win it going away. I mean, it seems like he may got up for it

08:06It sounds like old man Larry Bird diving on the floor Tommy points

08:11Taking charges taking elbows

08:14That's not what the new NBA is

08:16I understand new NBA is you put yourself in a position you get into the playoffs and then you go from there and they're gonna

08:23Be a team that they'll probably be the second seed home court doesn't matter

08:27I think I even Missoula might have said I and I'm not sure I felt like I read this somewhere with like, you know

08:32They're not they're not like concerned about home court. Yeah, so I mean it's

08:37And I hate that way of thinking Larry Bird would have never done it this way well in a

08:44413 texter would disagree with Eddie and

08:48is suggesting that

08:50That was a hard-played game last night Celtics Houston's a very good team

08:54And so they're a good defensive team Tatum was off and there's like a Tatum can't get up for this one

09:00The guys been playing lights out basketball all season long. You cannot compare errors

09:05I ain't listen. I love 80s basketball more than anybody

09:09You just can't compare errors and the game has changed the the players have changed it

09:14Yeah, you might be a little disappointed in but stop trying to compare Larry Bird to the guys that played at a Tatum

09:22Brown just it was a different type of game
