00:00Here is Tom Thibodeau, not going to be getting down on the elevator either, losing to Boston again.

00:06Yeah, and you hit on it, they're the defending champion, right?

00:10So until someone proves they can beat them, they're defending their championship.

00:15And so we know that there's a lot of work for us to do.

00:18You know, we're still, you know, working through things.

00:21You know, I thought Jalen gave us really good minutes.

00:24You know, so that's a big plus.

00:25Each game he'll get better and better.

00:27And, you know, but the playoffs will be here, you know, shortly.

00:31So there's an urgency to this.

00:35Listen, I can't stress enough the difference between regular season, end of season, and playoffs.

00:44The games are ratcheted up to a level like out of your, just out of your mind.

00:51The difference is so out of your mind.

01:21It was intense.

01:22By the way, I lost in the seventh game.

01:24It was awful.

01:25It was a horrible feeling.

01:26I drove home.

01:27I cussed a lot the entire way home.

01:29I'm surprised I didn't drink when I got home.

01:31But I did.
