00:00What do you think the verdict is going to be on Tatum's leg?

00:05Do you think it's an Achilles?

00:06Do you think he's finished?

00:08Do you think long-term, short-term, what do you think it is?

00:12Well, I'm not a doctor, so I'm not the right one to answer this.

00:16But, yeah, we all know everything nowadays, right?

00:18So I think he's done, Scott.

00:20I think it's like surgery, like into next year type of deal.

00:23I think it's like will he ever be the same player again type of concern.

00:27You know, the fact that you saw him all out in tears, you know, like, you know, he knows, right?

00:32This isn't all be back in two days type of deal.

00:35One thing I heard you say, though, a couple of minutes ago, and I think it's kind of true.

00:39I think everybody's kind of booked a parade right now for the Knicks, Scott, right?

00:43It's one game at a time.

00:45Like if you're the Celtics, you chip away, you win the next game, suddenly all the pressure's on New York after.

00:50And truth be told, listen, I don't like this because now Boston Celtic fans are going to use this as an excuse.

00:54But the fact is, the Knicks were about to win that game last night anyways, right?

00:58The Knicks were going to win.

00:59So, you know, they're going to use this as some sort of clutch.

01:02But if you're a champion, if you're like a championship team, you really shouldn't be that vulnerable, like for one guy.

01:09And it's funny because in the past there was always that, well, you know, other guys on the team, you know, it's not just about Tatum.

01:16So you have Porzingis.

01:17You have Jalen Brown, right?

01:19You know, everyone's always told how good Derek White is.

01:21So prove it.

01:23I mean, I'm not feeling sorry for them.

01:24I guess that's the best way of putting it.

01:26And, you know, this is the war of attrition in the NBA, guys, over the years.

01:30It happens all the time, every year.

01:32I remember when the Raptors won, Scott.

01:34Oh, but Durant got hurt and blah, blah, blah.

01:37Yeah, whatever.

01:38The series before, the Warriors swept the Blazers and everybody said, oh, they're better without Durant.

01:43They don't need Durant.

01:44Then Durant gets hurt against the Raptors and it's the excuse.

01:48The Boston Celtics got freaking lucky when they won.

01:50Every team that they played, the other guys were hurt.

01:52So it is, you know, Golden State right now.

01:55It is what it is, right?

01:56It's not, you know, I wish it didn't happen.

01:58I'd like to see the Stars play.

02:00But I don't feel sorry for these teams.

02:02Death matters.

02:03It happens every year.

02:04It's a war of attrition.

02:05You've got to get through it.

02:07you've got to get through it.

02:08You've got to get through it.
