00:00Nice first half for your guy, Coach Anferty Simons, last night.

00:05When you finally play him, I guess he played, what, 27 or 28 minutes last night?

00:10I mean, the Celtics tried to give another one away.

00:13They did try that.

00:14I don't know.

00:15Double-digit.

00:16Had to be double-digit turnovers last night for the Celtics.

00:19Yeah, I think it was 19 or 20.

00:21It was ridiculous.

00:22I think they had 12.

00:24It definitely was 20.

00:26I mean, it may have been more than that.

00:28Like, every other minute, they were giving the ball away.

00:3120 on the dot.

00:3220 on the dot.

00:32And then, I don't know what was going on with Jalen Brown, because he literally played,

00:39had zero fouls, unless I'm mistaken, and played maybe 10 minutes in the first half last night.

00:47Yeah.

00:48So, I don't know what's going on there.

00:50Well, I don't know if you saw, like, there was audio of him maybe talking after the game,

00:54and he was basically, he played, like, ish.

00:57Yeah, okay.

00:57You know, and...

00:58Maybe we can get to that during they said it, Sean, if you can find that.

01:01Yeah, it's all over there.

01:02But, um, your boy Pritch has turned it around.

01:04I give him that.

01:05He started off the season struggling from three-point land.

01:08He couldn't throw the ball in the ocean.

01:10But the last couple of games, he's kind of found his stroke a little bit.

01:13Yeah.

01:13So, he's done a good job.

01:15Derek White is just kind of Derek White-ing.

01:17Derek White, he had a good game last night.

01:19He was good, but I mean, he's not what we've expected all year long.

01:24Yeah.

01:24You know what I mean?

01:25I don't know how much of that was, I don't know how much he was helped by the presence

01:30of Drew Holiday last season, and that allowed Derek White a little more freedom.

01:37I don't, I haven't done a full analysis on that.

01:40I'll get to the tape later.

01:41Yeah, he can't get to the all, the all, what is it, the all 10?

01:45Yeah.

01:46So, I don't know, but.

01:47They won, and they beat a crappy team, which they should win.

01:51You know, Brooklyn, I think, has two wins on the year.

01:53So, you got them again on Friday night.

01:56But isn't this the worst case scenario?

01:59This is the worst place to be in sports, which is mediocre in the NBA.

02:03It is the worst place to be.

02:04You want a full tank over there, Curtis, right?

02:07I mean, I wake up every morning with a full tank, I'll tell you that right now.

02:11That's the problem.

02:12This is like, you know, NBA purgatory.

02:15Right.

02:15You literally are in no man's land.

02:18Nope.

02:18See, it probably means that Jason Tatum, who you know wants to come back, is going to force his way back.

02:25And maybe that's not a bad thing.

02:27Like, you can't run through life being afraid of what might happen and afraid of a re-injury or whatever.

02:33Don't you think if Brad Stevens had the truth serum, he would say he wished they were, you know, a top three lottery team this year?

02:41Yeah, all day long.

02:42I think he does.

02:43Then he could just say, hey, JT, shut it down and let's see what young stud we'll be able to get in the lottery this year coming out of college.

02:53Because you're right, Curtis, this is the worst place to be in the NBA.
