00:00
And to win those two games down 20 each, I was losing my mind at my house.
00:05
I was screaming, swearing.
00:07
I couldn't sit down.
00:08
My dog was barking.
00:10
My daughter high-fived me 3,000 times in two nights.
00:13
It was the greatest thing I've ever seen.
00:16
It's crazy.
00:17
Look, for two decades, what did we have?
00:20
We had Lynn Sanity, a G-leaguer, coming up and lighting up the garden for a couple weeks.
00:25
That was it.
00:25
And that was it.
00:26
That was the end of it.
00:27
Anything else was sort of just strange.
00:31
Nothing was great here.
00:32
But look, last year's team, I think, captured the hearts of the city.
00:36
It was sort of an overachieving, hardworking team.
00:39
And I don't think this year's team had that.
00:41
Like last year, it was crazy.
00:43
This year, they didn't have it.
00:44
It was a team that a lot of money was spent on it, a lot of draft picks, a lot of doubts about what this team would be.
00:51
And then I think maybe a little of the Detroit series, but really these two games in Boston,
00:56
I think suddenly they are the underdogs again.
00:59
They're the overachieving team that sort of the city fell in love with last year.
01:04
And I think if they could win tomorrow and be on the verge of knocking out Boston on Monday night at the Garden,
01:12
I just can't even imagine these shut down the schools, shut down, you know, government.
01:17
It's going to be crazy, crazy.
01:19
Yeah, it's, you know, right, wheel people into the party.
01:23
It's going to be insane.
01:25
And look, it already is.
01:27
And I think it takes something like that.
01:29
Like, I mean, it's a feel-good moment.
01:31
But also, guys who were letdowns all year, you know, Mikkel Bridges had a rough year.
01:37
For him to come up with the two defensive plays at the end of game one and two, suddenly he's on the back pages.
01:42
He's beloved.
01:44
I just think defense, effort, overachieving, that's what the city loves.
01:50
And that's what this team has given them in this series so far.
