00:00What was that last night?

00:01Terrible.

00:02What?

00:02They stink.

00:03My lord.

00:04I.

00:05Come on, man.

00:06Can you at least act like you were trying to win the basketball game?

00:12They get too cute.

00:13They fall into this cute mode when they get up by 20.

00:17Then all of a sudden they want to launch threes.

00:19And then Tatum wants to drive in and try to throw a lob past the poor Zingas.

00:24And next thing you know, it's down to four.

00:27Yeah.

00:28If you don't know, Celtics blow another lead.

00:32That is back-to-back 20-point leads blown.

00:36First time ever in the NBA playoffs that a team in the form of the Knicks or any other has come back from that.

00:45At home.

00:47Yes, at home.

00:50And can somebody please tell me, and we have four hours,

00:53somebody please give me a valid reason why Joe Mazzula did not use a timeout with 12 seconds left last night.

01:03I don't know what he was thinking on that one.

01:05Anybody?

01:05Curtis?

01:06Nope.

01:06I can't do anything to defend Joe Mazzula.

01:12It's his whole, the way he carries himself.

01:18Why would anybody on the team change when the coach says, despite outcomes, they're doing exactly what they said they should do?

01:24Bingo.

01:25That's what they all do.

01:26We get great looks.

01:28They did not, correct me if I'm wrong, on the minutes, they did not have a single field goal in the last half of that fourth quarter.

01:39Correct.

01:39Am I spot on about that?

01:40Yeah.

01:40I, that is embarrassing.

01:44I, and, and, I believe post game, cause I was so annoyed.

01:51I heard Joe Mazzula come out and he was asked about why he didn't use the timeout.

01:56And was his explanation that he didn't take the timeout cause they were just going to run back the same ISO play with Jason Tatum?

02:06Yes.

02:06Like, what, what, Curtis, to use, to use your phrase, what are we doing?

02:13But, and Shyam and I were talking right before the show and Shyam made the best point.

02:17He said, okay, whatever, not my, not what I would do.

02:20But the second you get across half court and you get stopped and there are players around Tatum, call timeout.
