00:00whether this is the most consequential must-win

00:03in the Tatum-Brown era for the Boston Celtics.

00:09Tonight, I would say, I don't think it's consequential

00:12in that if they lose, their best player went down

00:16and they lost the series, so let's see what happens.

00:19If they win, you're lying to yourself

00:23because you don't want to have the conversation

00:25if you don't believe that a Jalen Brown-dominant performance

00:29in this series and potentially more

00:31will change the future landscape of the Celtics roster.

00:35You're just not being honest with yourself.

00:36If Wiggy said, and he's vacillating on this a bit,

00:40but Wiggy said that you don't tell your fans

00:44that there's going to be changes about Porzingis or Holiday.

00:48That's about Tatum or Brown.

00:51And so, if you get past the Knicks,

00:54if you win three straight games without Jason Tatum

00:57and you get to the conference final,

00:58Chisholm, no matter what jersey he's wearing,

01:02is watching and is planning on getting back

01:05under that second apron,

01:06which means you could see Jalen Brown play himself

01:10into the Alpha here,

01:12or they could say, he's so great,

01:14we sell him high just like Wick sold the Celtics last year.

01:17Yeah.

01:17And that was my argument with Wiggy.

01:19Wiggy brought up, I mean,

01:20you brought up the Milwaukee win game six in 2022.

01:26Yep.

01:27And Tatum had 46 or whatever he had.

01:31And then you brought up the game seven win against Miami same season.

01:37But I think because of the repercussions

01:39and what is going to happen or not going to happen to the roster,

01:44it is the most consequential must win.

01:46I don't know.

01:46I'm kind of with Wiggy on this one because they already have it.

01:49They already have the championship.

01:50So if you want to just talk about the Jays era,

01:53like that was the most consequential.

01:55Like to get wins is the most consequential.

01:58Now that they already have a championship under their belt.

02:01But they didn't have any must wins.

02:02Like they breezed through the entire playoffs last year.

02:06Yeah, but they weren't like their necks weren't on the line.

02:09Yeah.
