00:00is that the most shocking evolution of any boston athlete perk like a guy that when he was here i
00:07didn't hear a peep from yeah yeah he's done this before and it's actually worked in their favor
00:13like i thought it it set a fire under jalen brown when he talked badly about him before and and
00:17they
00:18seem to have patched it up what was that a year ago two years ago and so i mean he's
00:22done this
00:22for a few years but i agree with him it's championship or a bust yeah like i mean i
00:26agree with that but this year but do you agree with him that they're not a contender like i
00:31disagree with that no listen we all watched that game yesterday and we were disappointed
00:36that team blew a 22 point lead that should not happen uh that they looked i like i was
00:44watching that game they looked offense looked a little bit disjointed to start that game which
00:49you would expect right and then and the turnovers you know and i appreciate paul george trying to
00:55get the ball to jordan walsh or whatever but um and then you just you get it together you're getting
01:04an unbelievable game from paul george and you let them go on two distinct huge runs and curtis brought
01:13it up earlier and maybe joe missoula can't do anything about a run maybe maybe it's all on the
01:19guys that are out there on the on the basketball court but there was the 19-6 run in the
01:25in the
01:25third quarter and then the 27 to whatever like it's just it's very frustrating because you do have
01:35high expectations with jalen brown gone for what jason tatum is supposed to be yeah i think like i i
01:43i think
01:43the expect it's still too early to be like are they a championship contender right because we don't
01:50know what the rest they have a championship caliber player in jason tatum but we don't know what hugo
01:57gonzalez is going to be we don't know what you know shireman's going to be we don't know what those
02:02players are when you start to say okay like are they going to have to they're going to have to
02:08level
02:09up p pritch is going to have to level up derrick white what kind of year is he going to
02:14have is he
02:15going to have similar to something he had last year where it seemed like he couldn't throw the ball in
02:19the ocean or is he going to have a year like he had prior to last season so i don't
02:23know just yet are
02:25they a contender my expectations are they are a playoff team and then by the time we get there i'll
02:30let you know 978 text greg it is absolutely all on joe missoula missoula ball has to go his style
02:38does not allow this team to maintain a lead so well his style is this you could like the playing
02:47defense that's not really on missoula that's more about those guys on defense making sure the
02:53defending shots make they switch everything now in the nba so when detroit got hot in the second half
03:00from three-point line they're knocking down shots and you got to make sure you're playing good defense
03:05and you're trying your best to contest shots you know i think duncan robinson got hot you got to do
03:09a you got to do a better job of making his shots more difficult the part that you would say
03:15on missoula
03:16is like all right well the offensive end but then that's where i go it's about like what perk just
03:21said
03:22the personnel if your personnel is we're living and dying on three pointers and the three point
03:27balls don't fall how else you supposed to win so what what does he do you you can't do night
03:33you
03:33have no i mean like what is joe mazula's job then if he has nothing to do with the defense
03:37and it's
03:38just about hitting threes that like when you looked at last year they lost the series last year i just
03:43asked what does he do i don't what do you mean like what isn't a coach supposed to adjust oh
03:48you're
03:48saying what is his job right yeah i think it's his job is trying to get the best out of
03:51players trying
03:52to get players to understand what their roles are trying to get players to buy into their roles right
03:56trying to in certain situations you know draw a place when you need a draw of a specific play
04:02curtis is right like do you think that joe mazula once the trade happened sat there and said all
04:09right we lost arguably the best player when it comes to playing defense on this basketball team
04:15how are we going to make up for that what am i going to do to make sure that we
04:19are able to
04:20allow for that loss well those other guys you're going to have to make sure those other guys step up
04:26like you're going to have to make sure that that p pritch derrick white i mean derrick white's a good
04:30defender so i'm not going to throw him into that kind of conversation you're going to have to make
04:34sure these other guys you do a better job defensively making contesting more shots especially if they're
04:40three-pointers so a team doesn't get hot i get that like joe mazula what's what's he do but if
04:46your
04:46offensive philosophy is we live and die with the three ball then that's either how you're going to win
04:55championships or you're going to lose it golden state won championships because they were able
05:00to live and die with their offensive philosophy was and that was the three ball but if you're up 13
05:06don't you do something to reshape your offense but if you don't have the personnel you can't
05:12i'm not arguing with you i'm just asking yeah that's what i'm saying and i'd say no when you don't
05:16have the personnel this is this is mike from florida hey mike good morning folks how we doing today
05:23what's up uh i'm sorry when i listen to what pert just said if you're not listening to what he's
05:33saying and agreeing with him 100 you are a honk he's 100 right this team is not better than it
05:40was
05:41you know last year the year before and they were barely a contender then i mean they were a contender
05:47obviously but they didn't do it they didn't make it happen with the exception of the one year
05:52so to sit here and say they're a contender now when they are exponentially like talent wise
06:01worse yeah this is insane it's one game and curtis told me we really can't say that but i i
06:09do
06:09i do want to see i i i we will find out whether courtney was right courtney said
06:15right after the trade that she thought they traded the wrong guy yeah and i i agree with them i
06:20don't
06:20think that this is a better team than what we saw last year like how it's constructed right now
06:25would you say last year like to answer the question i guess mike would you say last year they were
06:30a
06:30contender with just with jalen brown and the cast of characters that they had put together
06:36i don't like go and i would have said it yeah i thought they i thought they were yeah i
06:41did so
06:41you think they're a contender last year you think you're a contender this year because if you think
06:45that they have a better team this year regular season roster wise you guys we we argued about
06:51this the other day then you would also think this team is a contender yeah okay yes i do all
06:58right
06:58this is bob from londonderry hey bob hey guys good morning how are you today how are you what's going
07:05on
07:06bob well you know i was just uh honestly the guy that just called uh i think he's on the
07:11money and
07:12you know i think this uh tatum you guys got this guy tatum like uh he's this that uh he's
07:18not a bad
07:19ball player any of that but uh if you're relying on him to all carry this team and everything and
07:24in these other guys that are at best mediocre you keep talking about these guys like they're fantastic
07:29i think not just because it's one game i think you're going to be surprised the way the season goes
07:35another 20 point lead they could have an 80 point lead and those will find a way to lose the
07:40game
07:40i don't get it i don't know listen it's one game i keep saying that however did you expect
07:47that the issue was going to be jason tatum or did you think it was going to be paul george
07:54like
07:55like so i mean paul george not the issue at all yesterday right but you know so people were like
08:01hey you traded one max guy for an old aging max guy who didn't play at all last season
08:06and quite the contrary yesterday so if i'm brad i trade paul george today sell him high
08:14but over the course of the season you look and you go would you rather have paul george or jaylen
08:22brown
08:22you
08:22you
08:22you
