00:00By the way, Wiggy, a little letdown for your boys last night.

00:03I don't know what happened there.

00:06They could not put the ball in the net in the second half.

00:11Yeah, third quarter.

00:11They decided to go 0 for 12 in the third quarter from three-point land,

00:15where in the first half they were shooting about 48%.

00:17They came out hot, though.

00:19Yeah, that's what I'm saying, the first half, and then they must have went back.

00:21I don't know what they saw between halftime, but they cooled off,

00:26and then Milwaukee got it going.

00:28When I was like, Bobby Portis Jr., where did he come from?

00:30Talk about, I mean, he was like Adrian Dantley out there scoring every chance he got.

00:36That's a throwback.

00:37And then Kyle Kuzma, when he finished the game with a 30-bagger, 30-plus?

00:42It's tough to criticize them because they have, I think, overachieved.

00:47Curtis brought this up a couple days ago.

00:49So you're going to lose a game here and there.

00:53Yeah, you know, that's what happens when you live and die from the three-point line

00:59and you go ice cold in the second half.

01:01You give an opportunity for teams to get in the game.

01:04I give them credit.

01:06You know, they've done some good things over this run.

01:09Your boy, I mean, great call on Jordan Walsh.

01:12He's been spectacular.

01:14Has been, really.

01:15Yeah, so.

01:16Has been, really.

01:16I saw Paul Pierce, he and KG do their podcasts.

01:21Oh, good.

01:22And he said that Jalen Brown ought to be in the MVP conversation.

01:30And he's not.

01:31And it's a slight.

01:32Yeah, for sure.

01:33I mean, he's doing.

01:33I don't know how you feel about that.

01:34Another 30 for him.

01:35Yeah, he's doing a tremendous job.

01:37So, I mean, like, when you think about what Jalen Brown's been able to do,

01:41he's kind of, you know, he's being that alpha, that facilitator,

01:46that guy that, you know, he's scoring the basketball.

01:49So, yeah, I ain't going to get too crazy after one loss

01:52and they've been smoking here.

01:53I mean, without Giannis, not great.

01:54Yeah.

01:55I mean, but, you know, they're going to have games like that.

01:57Right.

01:57Mama said there'd be days like these.

01:59Yep.

01:59Also, you want to do that as a rejoin?

02:02We could do that.

02:03Nobody told me there'd be days like these.

02:05I love it.

02:06I believe that's the great John Lennon solo, Curtis.

02:08It is.

02:09We could do that.

02:09Yep.

02:09Um, also the, uh, uh, Jason Tatum, uh, continues to apply the pressure

02:15with the social media, with the social media posts.

02:19Now it's every day.

02:20Right.

02:20And it's like him going one-on-one with guys.

02:24Right.

02:24And, uh, doing backflips.

02:26And so I, they're going to have no choice other than to let Jason Tatum cook.

02:33And I, like, I feel like, I don't, do you think he's targeting Christmas like that?

02:38Like, like, like, as opposed to waiting till January or February?

02:42I don't know.

02:42The February, like, 8th thing, the 2-8 thing has been kind of like the, the, you know,

02:47the PI investigations on what is that all about.

02:51But they said on the broadcast last night, um, Scal, and what's the other kid's name?

02:56I always forget.

02:57Drew.

02:57I always forget his name.

02:59How many times?

02:59We should keep track of how many times with regard to one individual when he says, what,

03:05uh, who's the, what's the other, what's the other one's name on that thing?

03:08I'm horrible.

03:09And they, but they said during the broadcast that, like, Missoula said it was going to

03:14be up to Tatum on when he wanted a return on, I guess that's the, the, the word around

03:20that though.

03:20No, no, I don't believe that, but, um, but I mean, if he's out there, like, if the doctor

03:26says he's good to return and he's out there doing it, then why wouldn't you return?

03:32What's the difference if you return, let's call it February, or if you wait till next

03:37season, if you're a hundred percent, there's no difference.

03:40Right.

03:41And if your team's good enough, nothing in this topic won't change until he's actually

03:46back.

03:46No, I know, but I don't know how, what can we say?

03:48But no, but if he keeps posting like he's posting, the conversation's going to continue.

03:52Let's talk to Bruins then.

03:53They won last night.

03:54I mean, if we can't talk to Tatum, I don't know what, I mean, what, what do you think

03:58this means?

03:58He's bouncing a basketball.

03:59He had a good crossover.

04:01I don't know.

04:01I think he's back February 3rd now.

04:03That would be my case.

04:03I mean, I don't know what to think.

04:05I mean, obviously there's video of him out there doing it.

04:07He, he looks like he's, you know, actually doing some basketball stuff, not just, you

04:13know, catching, dunking the ball.

04:15He's, you know, making some cuts.

04:16He's a defender in front of him.

04:19There has to be a purpose for it.

04:21Right.

04:22We're talking about him.

04:24Okay.

04:24Well, we'd be talking about Tatum no matter what, like a, if he wasn't posting videos,

04:28we wouldn't be talking about him right now.

04:29Oh, well, I think the conversation would still be, is Jason Tatum going to come back this

04:33season?

04:34If I'm Jason Tatum, I'm not posting those videos unless I absolutely am.

04:37That's why he's trying to, if he's been told this is when you're coming back or whatever,

04:43I think he's trying to pressure them to get back early.

04:46So, but if you're post Courtney's right, if you're posting those videos, isn't the, the

04:51whispers over there at red eye box center, isn't the whispers that, okay, here's when

04:57you can probably return Tatum.

05:00Great.

05:00I have a question for you.

05:01Do you think it was just happenstance that he posted a video the day before the season

05:06started?

05:07No.

05:07Okay.

05:08No, no, I do not.

05:09If he was about to return, it was like, Hey guys, don't forget about me.

05:12They might've told him and said, Hey Tatum, based on your rehab and your recovery and where

05:18you're going, there's a 90% chance that you can return in February.

05:22So then he, you know, he starts to sprinkle these things out.

05:25If they're saying to Tatum, Hey, there's no way you could play this year.

05:29You think he's posting any videos?

05:31Nope.

05:32No, he's probably not, but there must be, they must be telling him there's a strong likelihood

05:38that you can return this season at this specific time.

05:42That's why he's posting videos.

05:44All right.

05:44Well, Celtics with a loss last night.

05:47You can talk.

Celtics win streak is over... but is good news on the horizon? Is a Tatum return looming?
