The Celtics' defensive intensity has dropped significantly under Joe Mazzulla compared to Ime Udoka

I do think Ime Udoka would, would they, this team would be playing different cuz then it does feel like their defensive ability and intensity is different and Ime Udoka got the most outta that.

The Celtics were eliminated in the ECF, and defensive lapses were a major talking point throughout the series.

Our backs are against the wall but we just have to win Game 6 to get home court for Game 7

Backs against the wall. This team is tough. This team has been there before. Just gotta win. And then you got a home court advantage for game seven.

The Celtics won Game 6 in Philly but lost Game 7 at home to the Sixers.

The Celtics' fans were right to boo the team in the third quarter of Game 5

You gotta use some, you know, you gotta get, get under their skin, get the boys riled up. They did go on a, a mini sort of tiny run after that, so I had no problem with it.

The Celtics players don't like each other

It feels like a team that they don't like each other. The way they play is like something's off and it's not, they are so talented And then you watch that and you're like, what is that?

This is a subjective observation based on chemistry and on-court body language.

Victor Wembanyama is already better than LeBron James

I'm gonna enjoy him because he's, he's like, I I said on Wednesday's show, he is, he's already better than LeBron. So I, that's how I'm gonna enjoy him.

People only hate on Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's flopping because his play style is fundamentally boring

I actually think the problem with SGA more than anything is he's just boring. That's really what people are upset about. The flopping like sucks. But... more than anything he's just, he's boring because he is a lethal mid-range guy. He doesn't have flashy dunks. He's not doing... He's just methodically an exceptional basketball player.

The Cavaliers-Knicks series is over after Game 1

Series over, you can't lose that game if you're the Cavs. When it went into overtime, we said the Cavs have to win this. This is must win. You can't give this up. All time choke.

The series has just begun as of the episode date.
