00:00Then we got the game number six, which was last night.
00:02We saw 106 to 93, which included the Celtics, Joe,
00:06scoring 14 points in the third quarter.
00:08Got to raise some questions around now.
00:09Jason Tatum, is he healthy enough to play number seven?
00:11Which means, Joe, we got the game number seven.
00:15How about that?
00:16Yeah, we do.
00:17And we said, right, Maxie has got to show up.
00:20And he showed up in a big way last night.
00:22But it's abundantly clear that live by the three, die by the three
00:28is what the Celtics' motto is.
00:30And that's it, Donnie.
00:31Either they're making threes or they're losing games.
00:34And that appears to be exactly what's happened here in this series so far.
00:4012 of 41 last night from three-point range.
00:42Banged up, Jason Tatum.
00:44Let's hear from Jason Tatum here postgame last night.
00:46You've been able to do this year has impressed everybody, right,
00:49and has been quite an inspiring story.
00:52And I ask this with complete respect, but are you tired?
00:55How is the toll of this series, and are you bummed that it's gone to seven?
01:00I mean, how are you feeling?
01:02Bummed that it's gone to seven?
01:03No, I mean, you can't, like, wish for it to be over any sooner than it is going to be.
01:11You know, I've played 130-some-odd playoff games.
01:15And, you know, bummed to say it's going to game seven.
01:19No, I'm not bummed.
01:21You know, I was out for 50 weeks.
01:23I wasn't able to play basketball, so I get another opportunity to play the game that I love,
01:29that, you know, I was, you know, I had to be sidelined for, you know, ten and a half months.
01:36So, obviously, you want to win every game you play, but it doesn't always go like that.
01:43But more so just kind of thankful that we have another opportunity, right?
01:47We have another chance, and, you know, to make it right.
01:52Joe, Tatum left the game in the third quarter here.
01:55Any worries for you about how healthy he's going to be tomorrow back in Boston?
01:59Well, there's always going to be concerns with him, right?
02:02I mean, it's, you know, he's only came on, what, the last month of the season.
02:07So, there are bound to be bumps and bruises here after taking a year off and coming back from the
02:13injury.
02:14But, I mean, what nobody will talk about is, you know, Paul George draining five threes in this game here
02:20to really be the difference maker and to pull away from the Celtics so they couldn't come back.
02:25But it doesn't matter.
02:27If the Celtics can't make threes, they aren't winning in a game seven.
02:31Let's hear from the victor's side here, Joel Embiid, postgame last night.
02:3644 years in this historic rivalry since the Sixers last eliminated the Celtics in a playoff series.
02:42How do you view this opportunity on Saturday to try to do that?
02:47I mean, I've been playing these guys for so long.
02:51You know, I'm tired of losing to them.
02:54So, we have a chance to accomplish, you know, something special.
02:59I mean, they're a great team.
03:01And you look at everything they have.
03:04You know, that's a super team.
03:06So, we just got to go and get the mindset we've had for the last, you know, two games.
03:11Last two wins, you know, one play at a time.
03:14Tough environment.
03:15But we've been there.
03:17We won two games over there.
03:18So, just keep knowing what we've been doing.
03:21I look on the front.
03:23Sixers-Celtics going to a game number seven.
03:25You know, we thought we might have had another game number seven in the garden between the
03:28Knicks and the Atlanta Hawks.
03:29Yeah, that wasn't happening.
03:30Joe told you yesterday.
03:31Just take the money line, bet it, and forget it.
03:33Don't worry about it.
03:34I don't even think Joe thought a rocking chair game like this was even possible.
03:37End of the first quarter between the Knicks and the Hawks.
03:4040-15.
03:41Second quarter score.
03:4343-21.
03:44The race was on.
03:47140-89.
03:48That's got to be the worst home performance you've ever seen late in a series.
03:51I can't.
03:52Joe, I was watching the update.
03:5475-25 came across my screen.
03:56And I thought there was an error on the scoreboard from the little score bug.
04:01Yeah, it was laughable how bad it got and how quick it got bad.
04:08Like, real bad here.
04:10And the only thing I was worried about the entire time watching that, Donnie, was please
04:14don't let the Knicks, you know, don't let Brunson get hurt.
04:18Don't get a stupid injury or get into a fight because, boy, Atlanta was not happy there.
04:25Just don't do anything stupid, right?
04:27I mean, the game was well in hand.
04:28It was in hand by the second quarter.
04:30You know, I'm just praying now.
04:32Don't anybody do anything stupid to get hurt or leave a guy out there.
04:36And it all worked out in the end.
