00:00Well, Greg, let's bounce over to the Boston Celtics.
00:02Jalen Brown on his Twitch stream, as he always is.
00:05This guy constantly doing stuff, whether he's playing in a basketball game
00:08or on his Twitch stream.
00:09He's constantly in front of a camera, it seems,
00:12and he was talking about running it back against the Knicks this year
00:16in the playoffs, and it seems like Jalen Brown wants the smoke.
00:20Here was Jalen Brown.
00:21I said exactly how I felt.
00:22I said it felt like death.
00:24That's what it felt like.
00:25It's a blow.
00:26It's like the Knicks, good team, but to blow two 20-point leads,
00:31how does that happen?
00:33We blew two.
00:34It was packing up two 20-point leads, and then just the energy was off,
00:38and we lost.
00:39But shout-out to the Knicks.
00:40They won.
00:41They moved on.
00:42We lost, so we can't even.
00:43We did it to ourselves.
00:45Can't even be mad at it.
00:45But this story is a different year.
00:47We might match up with the Knicks again, and we got to be ready to slide.
00:51We got our young killers right here.
00:53Now, Walsh, that's going to be a series for him to prove himself.
00:57Yeah, you got to spin the block.
00:59You know what I mean?
00:59You got to run it back.
01:01All right.
01:02I'm always ready to spin the block.
01:04There you go.
01:04I know you are.
01:05I don't know if you know that or not.
01:06You are.
01:06You are definitely down.
01:08Oftentimes, it's a block of cheese, but I'm always ready to spin the block and to slide.
01:13Same.
01:14If I need to slide, I'm ready to slide.
01:16There you go.
01:16I love how he couldn't even let a compliment go for three seconds because he knows the Knicks suck.
01:21He was like, good team.
01:23They beat us, but we did it to ourselves.
01:25Yeah.
01:25I don't know.
01:26You said the Knicks, maybe you're a little concerned about the Knicks.
01:30That's about it, right, Mago?
01:31Yeah.
01:32In the Eastern Conference.
01:33We'll learn a lot on Thursday.
01:35I think one thing that's a big question mark is Tatum hasn't seen him, and Tatum hasn't been back to
01:40MSG,
01:41and he'll do both those things on Thursday.
01:43I think the Knicks are kind of a weird team in terms of their identity and how Towns fits in
01:49with everybody else.
01:50It seems like everything is clicking for the Celtics right now, but I think that's the right attitude from Brown,
01:56and it's the same stuff he said in the moment last year.
01:58Like, it felt like death.
02:00Right.
02:01Like, it was not supposed to go that way, and it's the energy that the whole team has to have.
02:06Can't turn the ball over when you've got big leads.
02:07And Jalen Brunson, you know, he's the one that if you allow him to get it going, you know,
02:14we've seen what he's been able to do, especially in the last couple minutes of the game when the game's
02:18close.
02:19You feel like Kata has a shot at being most improved player?
02:23I think he does, but, you know, it's kind of funny.
02:26I was thinking about this last night.
02:28I was watching Early Edition, and Tom Curran was on there, and they were talking about the most improved player.
02:33I don't even think there's odds out for that award, and how Kata—
02:37There are.
02:38Oh, yeah.
02:38I'm looking at them right now.
02:38I'm not a gambling person.
02:41What is Kata's odds?
02:42He's not listed.
02:44Okay.
02:44So there's not odds for him, which should tell you something.
02:49But who's, like, more improved in a more impressive way?
02:54Because Curran said he thought that Jalen Brown, in a way, made the jump of most improved because he went
03:01from being kind of a top 20, top 25 player to he's literally a top five player week in and
03:07week out right now.
03:08And I thought that was a really interesting perspective because that is a huge jump that a lot of guys—guys
03:14don't make that at the point that Jalen Brown is in year 10 of their career.
03:18Because you're talking about probably first-team All-NBA.
03:20Oh, for sure.
03:22I think, like, it's a disappointment if he doesn't make first-team All-NBA at this point.
03:25It would be a slight to him if he doesn't make it, but yeah.
03:28I will go on a hunger strike.
03:33All right.
