00:00No one, no one cares whether they go out to dinner or not.
00:05That, again, is moving the goalposts to prove something no one ever wanted to prove in the first place.
00:09Okay?
00:10The fact of the matter is the guys that cover the team are petrified of doing anything that is uncomfortable
00:17or digging into anything that would make them uncomfortable or the bulk of fans uncomfortable.
00:23Because it's just not where you go if you're in the Celtics realm.
00:26But keep it real when it comes to Brown and Tatum.
00:29How many times have you tried to get Mazz fired?
00:31That would be my question because that's essentially what Jason Tatum did here.
00:34He wanted Jalen Brown out of town.
00:36I mean, that's going a little far, but maybe he did, maybe he didn't.
00:40I think Tatum was – I think the whole organization was done with Jalen Brown.
00:45Tatum was done with him with his belly aching about the role and the sacrifices
00:49and look at our stats this year.
00:52Jason Tatum's not a robot.
00:53He's a human being, okay?
00:56And he's clearly the best player and he's got to listen to this guy with his stats
01:00and how much fun he's having.
01:03You're telling me that doesn't rub Tatum the wrong way?
01:05Is he a human being or not?
01:06Of course he does.
01:07And no one cares, John, or everyone else, whether they go out to dinner or not.
01:10And you know that's not the story.
01:12The story is, was it a functional relationship where they were all tugging in the right direction
01:19and doing everything they could to make the team better.
01:22And I would say for the bulk of their time together, they obviously were.
01:25No one's talking about three years ago, four years ago.
01:28No one's talking about those years.
01:30They obviously coexisted very well, which we talked about.
01:34But this past year, do you have eyes or you're just a pussy and you don't want to cover it?
01:39No one's talking about those years ago.
