00:00Let me quickly finish this game with Tatum.

00:02So, he was asked about his shot selection,

00:05which I was saying to you during the break,

00:06I thought was ridiculous.

00:08I don't know what he was doing taking step-back threes

00:10at the end of that regulation when he's got bigs on him

00:13and he should be driving to the hole.

00:15I'm not really sure.

00:16But this is a combo of him being asked about that

00:18and the refs for the night.

00:21What he thought of the refs.

00:22And I actually liked his answer about that.

00:24I mean, yeah, I like a lot of the looks I took the night.

00:30Some I settled.

00:32You know, just I got to be better in some of those moments.

00:36You know, just be a little more intentional.

00:39And in terms of how do you not let your frustrating

00:42with lack of calls prevent you from attacking

00:45if you don't think you're going to get a call?

00:48Is that connected at all?

00:50No, that doesn't connect.

00:51I mean, it's the playoffs.

00:54You know, we probably should just play without the refs.

00:57Like, it's how physical it is.

01:00So, you know, that don't really cross my mind at all.

01:04Street rules.

01:05No refs.

01:06Get the refs out of here.

01:08I got to tell you that, you know, we've played,

01:11Mafia has played with me in a lot of big games,

01:14in league games.

01:15And we used to say that all the time.

01:16We're better off without refs.

01:18Let's call our own fouls.

01:20And you'll see who's a man out there.

01:22You know, where I play, if you call a foul, you're a P.

01:26So, I just don't even call them.

01:28I just let guys just chop my head off.

01:31And I just don't even call them because it's already bad enough

01:34that I'm playing with all these NBA and D1 studs that are unstoppable.

01:39And I'm the worst one there.

01:40And I can still ball with them.

01:42But if I start calling fouls, they'll revoke my privileges.

01:47Like, I man up when I play with them.

01:49I just let them foul me.

01:51And then when I foul guys and they call fouls, I'm like,

01:53oh, bro, you're just such candy.

01:55I never call anything.

01:56I don't call fouls.

01:58Like, honestly, I think the NBA games would be better.

02:01In fact, I'm all for it.

02:03In fact, I think they ruin games.

02:05I've told you that a thousand times.

02:06The refs ruin games.

02:08Like, they called so many fouls in the first quarter of that game last night.

02:13I was losing my mind.

02:14I mean, can we touch a guy?

02:17Can we bang, get a little hand check?

02:20Can we get a little bump and grind and physicality here?

02:24Honestly, it's the postseason.

02:25This isn't November.

02:27Like, honestly, I can't stand them.

02:29They ruin everything.

02:30Weddings, holidays, family get-togethers, barbecues, marriages,

02:36children's first day of school.

02:38They show up and ruin that.

02:39Weather.

02:40They ruin weather, too.

02:41The refs, they ruin the weather systems.

02:44Westerlies.

02:47Like the Nuggets.

02:49Yeah.

02:49The Knicks are still dogs in the series as well.

02:52Plus 295, despite being up 1-0.

02:55Celtics go from minus 1,000 to minus 370 after losing the first game.

03:00Well, then I got to get that.

03:01I got to get that almost three bells involved here.

03:04I, you know, I'm not betting on the Boston Celtics ever.

03:08Can you imagine if they actually beat them?

03:09Never.

03:09Can you imagine if they actually won the series?

03:12I'll run naked in Hell's Kitchen.

03:14Right down 48.

03:17Tell you, a lot of people around here will start thinking they're going to win the whole thing

03:20if they knock Boston out.

03:21They'll start thinking they're going to win the whole thing if they get rid of the Celtics.

03:24Well, they'll start thinking they're going to win the whole thing.
