00:00And I would just say this back in the day in the early 2000s when I was a drunken Sox fan

00:05I didn't want to watch game four of the ALCS. I didn't want to reinvest because I was so

00:11heartbroken that they were doing it to me again. If you have the means and the ability I strongly

00:18recommend either going to the garden going to a bar around the garden but this is a night where

00:23Celtics fans will have a massive role I think in the ability of the team the the feel in the arena

00:31I think obviously the Celtics players are just you know totally and completely shocked as to what

00:36happened and tonight would be a great night just to ruin it ruin one night don't let the Knicks win

00:42here because if the Knicks win tonight the Celtics in the last three years will fall to 23 and 17 at

00:49home. They're 23 and 10 on the road in the playoffs. Crazy. So at least get some home court

00:56advantage force the Knicks to go back and feel some pressure in game six. Has there been in your time

01:01Curtis you are a keen observer of all things sports in in this region. Has there been in your time

01:09an injury that uh will have had as much of an effect on a franchise and its future as this injury to

01:21Jason Tatum? The only one I can think of would be like in a Gronk injury you know I think he got

01:28concussed one playoff game uh the year that they lost the Super I don't know there there's a many I

01:35mean you could do the Brady's ankle injury before the Super Bowl but he played uh and you were able

01:40still win without Gronk but it also didn't have a it wasn't going to have a lasting effect right on

01:47the like changing the franchise right right that's what this is going to happen because you still had

01:52other pieces right guess what you still had Brady yeah and so you could yeah so I don't think so and a

01:56concussion you know you know you know how most likely he's going to come back you know and timetable

02:02in this in this case you're you're a team that was on the like the precipice of a dynasty

02:09and and it's just in the one injury and it's because we all question mark yeah because I I get

02:17what you're saying Greg because we all hope and expect that Tatum will be back to where he needs to

02:22be but you can never tell what an Achilles right you can never tell if he's able to get back to that

02:28form um because the Achilles is one of those injuries that you know it changes guys career

02:34wise where you know if it's a knee injury you you've seen plenty of guys bounce back from that

02:38um shoulder surgery that kind of thing so yeah I I don't think there's ever been no and there's

02:43never been a star of that magnitude

02:45you
