00:00Is it 10 the highest?

00:01Well, I mean, that's how I envision it.

00:03I know you have odd scales over there.

00:04Dork scored a 6 for Infinity Stones.

00:06Whatever scale you want.

00:07Some do 5 stars.

00:09The battle meter used to go to 100.

00:10The battle meter went to 100.

00:11That's true.

00:11I just wanted to clarify before I answered.

00:13Yeah.

00:148?

00:158.

00:15I'm a snowman right now because it hasn't looked great.

00:19They're doing this weird...

00:20He's talked about the pain and the discomfort that he's in,

00:23and yet they're still trotting him out there,

00:25and clearly they were just trying to hit the threshold.

00:28So if there was no threshold, I guess he doesn't even play.

00:32But there is.

00:33They're like, all right, we got his 20 minutes.

00:33Get him out.

00:34Because he's not helping the team either.

00:36And, yeah, is he going to be...

00:39He won't be 100%, but how close to it will he be come playoff time?

00:43Now, the other thing they do have kind of to their advantage,

00:49I don't think they're going to play a difficult playoff series until the Cavs.

00:52I don't.

00:52I don't think that it exists.

00:53I heard Wiggie say this at the end of the show.

00:55He already has them winning the title already.

00:57Well, fair, but he's like, should they even play Jalen against the Hawks

01:00or whoever they get in the first round?

01:02No.

01:03I mean, depending on how bad it is, I guess.

01:04If he's actually hurt, the answer is no.

01:06They can beat the Hawks without Jalen Brown.

01:07To that point...

01:08You can probably sweep the Hawks without Jalen Brown.

01:10Definitely.

01:10Yeah.

01:10Yeah, so I think you have the luxury of resting,

01:13but then it also looks so much worse.

01:14So you're playing him for All-NBA,

01:16but then you're sitting him in the first round of the playoffs?

01:18All right, here's what I know.

01:19This is what I know.

01:20Celtics fans out there, they're locked into the two-seed.

01:22The seating does not matter.

01:24Jalen Brown might not make All-NBA anyway,

01:26and guess what?

01:26He already has his contract.

01:28I think there are incentives he can hit to make a few extra bucks.

01:31Everybody would like to make a few extra bucks, I believe.

01:34Yes, hell yeah.

01:35But he already has his contract.

01:36It's not like he's qualifying for the next Supermax or anything like that.

01:39He has his contract.

01:41So it doesn't help him all that much.

01:44He's clearly not right.

01:45And what does everybody say all year long?

01:47The Celtics will repeat as long as they are what?

01:51Healthy.

01:52Healthy.

01:53Happy.

01:53So the guy's out there.

01:55Well-fed.

01:55He's not 100%.

01:56And the only thing Celtics fans want to bring up,

01:59I'll bring up other things like their shot selection.

02:02And, you know, sometimes their general attitude at the end of these games.

02:05It's just hard to repeat.

02:07In the NBA, their struggles at home.

02:08Like, I'll bring up other stuff.

02:09But the main thing we hear from Celtics fans,

02:11oh, if they're healthy, they win.

02:13So you can't possibly want Jalen out there, right?

02:15No.

02:15You can't possibly.

02:16No, not if it's looking like that.

02:17You can't possibly be okay with it, Celtics fans, right?
