Transcript

00:00Are you at least willing to acknowledge the team isn't where you expected it to be at this point in time?

00:04I know you feel that way. Yeah, of course you have to be but for a Celtics

00:07Let's all just acknowledge and get in the trust tree

00:10The team is not where you thought it would be at this point. I did not hear all offseason

00:17Well, yeah, they're gonna have the fourth best record right around the all-star break. Well, yeah, they'll be worse than the Cavs

00:22They'll be the Rockets. The Knicks will only be one game behind the Rockets. They'll get pants by Oklahoma City. Yeah

00:28So you can tell me

00:30You think they'll still win the championship and they're still the most talented team

00:34Maybe even the best team in the league, but can we all just acknowledge and agree? The team is not right now

00:40January 28th

00:41Where we expected it to be if we can all just start there then I think we can have a real conversation about this

00:46Yeah, for real. I mean, I didn't think they're gonna go 82 and oh

00:49I didn't think they were gonna have an NBA record 74 wins in the regular season

00:53Did I think they might have a Celtics team record 67 or 68 wins somewhere there

00:59Yeah, yeah, I did and now if they're gonna win if they're gonna win what would it be 67 games?

01:06Which would be one game better than the 08 Kevin Garnett Celtics. They don't have to win the rest of the games

01:11They'd have to win out right now

01:13Like they already have 15 losses and we're not even into February yet

01:17And I keep going back to the the the way in which they've lost games and the variety of teams

01:21They've lost and you know, you lose a few games here and there and you think it'd be on your radar be like, all right

01:26All right, let's you know, stop the bad habits and turn things around but they've lost the good teams. They've lost the bad teams

01:33they've lost these close games and

01:36What's really killed them is they've lost a lot of games in which they've had fourth quarter leads

01:41Double digit fourth quarter leads like last night. You want the numbers? I guess sure

01:46Give me some numbers Forsberg is from the Chris Forsberg stats and information department

01:49Also a good stats and info department. I don't have my own stats in it

01:53We we gotta have a little bit more in the budget for that

01:57Celtics ninth blown fourth quarter lead this year

02:00Which matches last season's total so already they've blown as many games

02:04Quarter as they did all of last year. So yeah, so there's a lot of those kind of stats

02:08So they've lost more home games than they did all of last year

02:11I don't think they haven't had a month this bad as they did all of last year

02:15We went through it remember cuz people like I everybody has a bad month
