00:00So home game tonight, so they'll have a chance to add to this I guess positively or negatively

00:04But one of the stories we've been talking about this week is Celtics are 22 and 6 on the road

00:1116 and 10 at home

00:13well best working theory as to why that is

00:16There's just a tendency to let their foot off the gas at home

00:19And maybe it's because there's more distractions here at home

00:22You're kind of you're you're back at home at your house and and all that and I also think maybe they look up and see

00:28That banner on the rafters like hey, you know what we are in that

00:30We know what we can do and they kind of let their foot off the gas a little bit

00:33I really think it is as simple as that and then

00:35Obviously we've been talking about it all year that opposing teams are coming in and giving them their best shot every single night

00:40So when you take your foot off the gas and the opposing team is going all in it's gonna lead to losses

00:47And that's what happened, but I really do think tonight will be a little bit different

00:50They've been really vocal the players have about heading into all-star break on the right foot and right now

00:56They've won nine of their last twelve six of their last seven and it's been a gauntlet for them over this last month

01:02The loss in there just FYI was terrible against the Mavs

01:04I like a like a Mavs team with hardly anybody in another one where they come off a road trip and lose the game

01:10At home and kind of embarrassing fashion, but since January 15th

01:14They haven't had more of it more than one day off, but no games and look and they they are playing better

01:18I'll give them that when it comes to those two records

01:22The home record and the red flag that it is versus the road record

01:26Which I think could be evidence of when this team needs to they can turn it on

01:29Which which record to you is more telling?

01:32I think the road record is because like you said they can just flip that switch and if you look at the

01:38Numbers we just looked at two of those wins came over in New York and Cleveland who are the ones that are you're sandwiched in

01:43Between but it's a top in the middle

01:45It's a tough look for I'm a Knicks guy as the biggest competitor in the East like that's that's been a that's been a tough

01:50Look in the two games against, New York
