00:00You have the Boston Celtics who a lot of people can't get them

00:02out of their head thinking that if Cleveland has to play Boston

00:06that Boston probably would be favored even though Cleveland

00:08is having a better season.

00:09They took care of the Philadelphia 76ers last night.

00:12I mean, I don't know when we are ready to put the dagger in

00:14the Sixers season, but I got to tell you Gilbert.

00:16I feel like we're almost there.

00:17They're playing non-competitive basketball now.

00:19I mean, it's just seems like it's completely over for them.

00:22Let's focus on the C's here for a minute.

00:24Pritchard 28 points, eight three-pointers yesterday.

00:27Hit Peyton Pritchard got hot and it's just a reminder of just

00:32how much of a well-oiled machine this Celtics team is when

00:35it's not Jason Tatum or Jalen Brown that's hurting you.

00:37It's a guy like Peyton Pritchard or Derek White or Christos

00:40Porzingis.

00:41They have so many different ways that they can hurt you.

00:43And it's funny.

00:44We kind of talked about their ups and downs to begin the

00:46season. We use the word bored or use the word disillusioned

00:50with the regular season.

00:51It's very clear that they were looking forward to March and

00:54April and getting the postseason run going.

00:56They look more than equipped to defend their NBA title.

01:00And like we talked about in relation to the Cavaliers,

01:02they're going to be a team that's very difficult to beat

01:05four times in seven games.

01:06And I think until we see a team do it, it's hard to go against

01:10the boss of Celtics in the postseason.
