00:00what you smell right now is a ridiculous amount of confidence that's not based in reality and
00:07what i'm talking about are our fine friends up there in boston massachusetts oh who right now
00:13are flexing their chests out a little bit they're peacocking around the office a little bit because
00:18tonight when the southics play the dallas mavericks they're getting their guy back jason tatum one of
00:25the best players in the nba is coming back allegedly tonight uh obviously minutes limits whatever it is
00:32and people in boston feel like they're now going to be crowned nba champions because jason tatum is
00:39coming back i have news for you boston this is the single worst thing that has happened to the boston
00:47celtics since doc rivers became their head coach because right now you've got things going better
00:54than you ever could have expected joe mazul is for my money the coach of the year you are the
01:00number
01:00two seed right now behind only the detroit pistons a couple games ahead of my beloved nicks and four
01:06or five games right now ahead of the cleveland cavaliers so it looks like you're a lock to be
01:11the two seed of the three seed yeah no no no no no the the nicks have to also the
01:16calves are now only
01:17one game back of the nicks okay no of the nicks not of the south is what i'm saying and
01:21only three
01:22games back that's what i said three or four games behind the south is so here's the problem why would
01:27you mess up the good thing you've got going your rotation works jalen brown mvp candidate joe mazula
01:36coach of the year candidate and now because of the pressure of not wanting to say no to jason tatum
01:43you're going to allow jason tatum to uh infiltrate this lineup and i want to be the first to say
01:50when jason tatum is healthy he's one of the five best basketball players on the planet i'm a big
01:57jason tatum guy but now's not the time boston now's not the time with about 20 uh games to go
02:04a little
02:04less than that in the season and you are the number two seed now is not the time to experiment
02:11with
02:12how do we fit jason tatum in to our lineup how do we fit jason tatum into our rotation when
02:19the
02:19rotation ain't broken the boston celtics have a chance without jason tatum and i never thought
02:26i would say that going into this year to win an nba championship and now you're going to bring jason
02:33tatum in it's going to mess up the rotation it's going to change how many shots certain guys get
02:39and the boston celtics are going to go from the two seed to the three seed and now possibly even
02:47the four seed and you're going to look back and go why did we rush him back why did we
02:54allow
02:54his ego to overtake our basketball decision process thank you celtic fans thank you boston celtics you
03:04have just made the new york knicks the number two seed when the playoffs start in a little more than
03:09a
03:09month now craig i want to agree with you i know that was very well put i'm going to agree
03:14with
03:15some of it yeah why do we play these seasons out we play these seasons out ultimately to win a
03:21championship correct of course that's the goal and the one part i disagree with you is the celtics
03:27cannot win a championship as is um they cannot you would think that they cannot you would think
03:32that they're not good and i want to say that too they're not good enough but what joe mazula's done
03:36with the boston celtics let's be honest he doesn't play where did you have the celtics uh preseason
03:41don't lie about it i had a playing team no i didn't i said it on the show i didn't
03:46say you said
03:47the celtics are best of nine scene i did not say i'll find it you'll find it i said they
03:52were right
03:52in the middle no you did yes i did five six you said what we all said they said they're
03:57in the middle
03:57jason tatum is like no halliburton in indiana either way no i didn't know not that those were your
04:03words shut it down i wrote down those words on september 12th tyrone johnson said the boston
04:09celtics are the indiana pacers without tyree's halliburton i wrote it down now here's the
04:15bottom line though good what you what everything else you said they very well could fall in the
04:21standings they very well could have a lot of the whole thing all that kind of stuff yeah but
04:27with tatum if it works and if he's actually healthy which we do not know i know he's done
04:33five on five stuff but the man had an achilles 10 months ago so we don't you don't come back
04:38from
04:38an achilles injury in 10 months to play a high level nba basketball let me just say this real quick
04:43because jason tatum represents everything i love about a handful of athletes the want to the desire
04:49right and the fact that you know he doesn't want to miss games he doesn't want to sit on the
04:53bench any
04:54longer he doesn't want to you know be rehabbing all the time the man's a competitor the man wants
04:59to play basketball i have great respect for that because in a generation of nba basketball players
05:04who in my opinion have gotten soft and lazy jason tatum is now bullying his way back onto an nba
05:11basketball court it defies all medical logic it defies all medical reason but i will say this and
05:17if you're going to put this post out please do it properly guys i have great admiration and respect
05:23for jay jason tatum wanting to come back even though it's premature i also happen to like it
05:29from a nick fan perspective because it's going to blow the celtics up
