The whole new acronym thing drives me epic and bad.

Can we call them by his name?

I'm not 85, this won't stop me.

McAvoy?

It's a posth-nack again from the red line, cuts into the middle, across the line, to the

left circle.

Zaka shot stars!

Bubble Zaka with the game winner and overtime, and the Bruins beat the Sabers 4-3.

And Taden will dribble it into the front court, and half-fitting that the ball's going to end

up in his hands.

This Jason Taden didn't play in the game 13 days ago, when the Celtics narrowly avoided

the upset of the Thunder, but tonight, falling behind by 13 early, they took OKC's best shot,

and there are the ones left standing.

The Thunder's 12-game winning streak comes to an end at TD Gardens, as the Celtics in

this season full of stirring wins add another one to the list.

The final score, Boston 119, OKC 109.

Come to you on, whatever this is, Thursday, March the 26th, there it is, Alex Barth

in for Big Jamar in our update studio, Mazel Longside.

Yes, hi guys, hi.

Do you remember what we used to call a binder head in the newspaper business?

Do you remember what that was?

Binder head, sure.

Yes.

Fire and ice.

Yes.

The Bruins Celtics.

Too good.

Dual headline, right?

Something like that.

Yeah.

T-W-O, right.

That's basically what we did here, right?

We played one of each.

We got a little binder heads old throwback and tabloid days.

So we don't like to cross sports, so we're just going to talk about them separately at

the same time, which isn't crossing sports.

But either way, Bruins win in overtime, which I think the Celtics win was more significant

because the Celtics just have more at stake this season.

They're in it.

The Celtics are in it, in it.

Bruins were just sort of seeing how far they can go and how interesting they can make

it.

But I would say the result was more important for the Bruins in that context last night.

That would have been a gut punch, nut kick sort of perhaps season deflating kind of loss

for them if they had lost that.

The Celtics, I think, just reestablished themselves their mouths with that win.

So let's start with the Celtics, because I think that was the more meaningful win overall.

What did that one show you with the green last night?

So Jason Tade made a comment after the game, you know?

The game felt like the playoffs, the last two champions and I went, whoa, that's right.

Because I have forgotten, you know, that's the wrong word.

But during Tadeham's absence, I started to think and the trading off of Porzingus and

everybody else.

I almost feel like the Celtics are kind of starting over, reinventing themselves a little

bit and it didn't occur to me two years ago.

They were the last champion before Oklahoma City.

And the point being is if you look at it in that context and especially look at the way

the Celtics played in the second half of that game, now I can really buy into that.

I look at the two teams and I say, okay, maybe that was a preview of June.

If the Celtics play at that level, as they did in the second half, really more than the

first, but you want to say the last three quarters, that's fine too, whatever you, but

if they played at their peak and last night was the first time we've seen it in a long

time, they can absolutely be in the finals.

And I think there is the chance that not only will, I think there's the chance that the

injury to chase in Tadeham is going to end up making Tadeham and Brown better.

The combo of the two of them are going to be better because of Tadeham's absence and

Brown's development during that absence.

Don't you think they needed that one last night?

Yes, definitely.

I think they were, were do.

I mean, I, I think there's a lot of good things you can say about the team since the return

of Tadeham and his play in general might be ahead of even what you thought.

And like, you know, you look back at, you look at his return in the aggregate and you

say, okay, good, but accept maize.

I don't think that they had really started to build momentum on the floor week to week

game to game.

They weren't jelling quite in quite in fact, I think it was kind of going in the other

direction.

I think you showed really well out west last week, but you lost both of those games and

Brown got thrown out of one and Tadeham got held out of the other and I don't know.

That thing of them being on the floor together in the same game against a tough opponent

in a tough game and then coming through and starting to stack that, we hadn't really

seen that at all, I think.

And it was again, I would even say kind of in these last couple of games, Memphis, Minnesota

kind of creeping in the other direction.

So they needed a night like last night.

And I think, you know, from there, they can use that to go in for.

They can use that as momentum.

And it does, of course, maize start with the defining of roles between Brown and Tadeham.

And don't you think that was that sort of reset itself last night as well after what we

had seen the previous couple of games?

Yes, I felt like that was a step back in the other direction, meaning that Jason Tadeham

wasn't walking the ball up the floor, stagnating the offense, sucking the life out of the

whole thing and slowing them down.

And so there was one play in particular that kind of hit me in the face.

And you remember Tadeham made a little sort of two handed underhand shuttle pass to create

out who then went in for a dunk.

Yes.

And it was from the right wing.

And this is my whole point.

If Tadeham is out on the perimeter and he's moving around, he's not just standing at

the top of the key.

You can see the floor better, the defense doesn't know exactly where he's going to be

or what he's going to do.

I think he's way more effective off the ball.

I think he's a better player off the ball.

And that play, it was just a neat little simple pass, but a lot of guys wouldn't have made

it.

And he made it from underhanded from his knees, basically.

And so to me, their offense works better.

They looked so much better in the second half of that game last night than they looked

in the Minnesota game.

It isn't even funny.

And, and don't you think the reason is, is that it was more of a Jalen Brown show, it

sort of started with him.

Yes.

Absolutely.

Again, Brown had 17 shots.

Tadeham had 12.

And not just that.

You can include me as the getting to the free throw line.

Absolutely.

So those aren't shot attempts, but Brown, that's Brown, neither shooting and getting

filed or what have you.

So I think you add the shot attempts and the free throw attempts usage.

It's, you know, I think you saw it was more through Jalen Brown.

And that's the way it's got to be.

To me, I think they're a better team that way.

His willingness to go in there opens up the floor, makes them all better.

And I mean, Brown into the paint.

His willingness to do that, and he's great at it.

I thought last night was, it was that ability for him was on illustration.

His ability to go in the paint, fight through contact, absorb it, and finish at the

rim.

He's the best on the team at it.

And it changes their offense.

And Alex Barth is in for big Jamuri today, Barthi, cute little kid.

I think falls in and his lead take is, of course, a very cute little Celtics take.

Okay.

They have that game against that team with those superstars firing on all cylinders.

And Alex, who do you want to talk about?

Bigger picture before I get to that.

All right.

No, what did you start your email with?

I, uh, Baylor Shireman, say it.

Just do it.

No, it's fine.

It's so cute.

It's so, so Celtics fan go as they were trying to kind of get the momentum to go the

other way.

There were two plays.

I thought that stood out in that game.

Baylor Shireman won on one on SGA, and he gets in front of him.

And SGA even tries to hook him and he either draws the offense, foul, forced turn of whatever

it was.

And then on the other side, he hits kind of the patented Tatum side step three from

the corner.

And it felt like a moment, a moment, a momentum flipped.

And for me, when you talk about a game like this, when you've seen Tatum back now for

a few games, we have a general idea that was when the momentum flipped.

It was part of it.

That felt like a, a momentum series.

I'm glad Barthi is here because we can just start yelling at him immediately right out

of the shoot.

Go ahead.

I'm sorry.

What was the score at the time of that?

And I know the exact play that you're talking about.

The turtle.

I don't have the exact score.

Do you have it?

The play was up inside of the top of the key.

They were going left to right.

So that would have been, I think the fourth quarter there.

It was a fourth turn over.

Sharman was on him.

I know the exact play you're talking about.

I just, I don't know if that was a momentum.

To me, the momentum changers were when Jalen Brown dunked, when it went in the lane and

dunked on everybody and did the near throat slash or when he upfaked, Gilges Alexander

and Drew the N1.

It goes to me.

Go ahead.

It's a long game.

There's multiple moments like that.

The three pointer hit from the corner gave them the lead.

They were down 73, 71, later issue in the third quarter and it put them up by one from

that point.

So it was about to turn over.

But go ahead.

It was, it was both of those plays.

Just him becoming a two way player because I have this, the bigger thing for me with the

Celtics that I liked seeing last night was Tatum has been back for, you know, a couple

of weeks now.

We kind of have an idea of where he's at.

Jalen Brown's playing very well.

But if they're going to get back to competing for a title and that you're going to have

to beat a team like the thunder, if not the thunder, to win a title.

Part of what was so effective when they won it last time.

It wasn't just Hayden and Brown.

That roster was so deep with holiday in porzingis and all these guys that aren't here anymore.

They turned the roster over in the off season, maybe because they didn't think they'd be

at this point.

So now that they are here, you need more than just those two.

You need the depth to to ultimately win the title to get there to make a run.

Maybe those two were enough, but have another parade, right?

And so who's going to step up?

Who's going to be the porzingis?

The Drew holiday.

Those kind of guys on this team, if they're going to make that run, I thought in a big game

and some big moments last night, Baylor Shireman stood out to me.

Green teamers love the whole guy.

Oh my god.

They just love it.

To me, it's about the two big guys, you know, and I say those two figuring it out between

themselves and the pecking water and the lines of demarcation and all of that.

That's the story on the team and that's, of course, they need more than just two, but I

love green teamers.

Just love going immediately to Baylor.

They've all got a Shireman in their pants.

So let me phrase it this way.

Can they win a title just on the Tatum Brown, figuring it out stuff or no?

Because to me, last night was not just about can they get there?

Can they make a run?

It kind of shifts the conversation to like, okay, like how serious is this runner?

They really contenders.

Or is this just Tatum's going to come in?

They're going to have a nice little finish versus should we be expecting, you know, is

a championship run a real expectation, a true championship run?

But it's because of those two.

I don't want to, you know, talk about whatever you want to talk about six, one, seven,

seven, seven, nine, zero, ninety eight, five.

This was going to be a big Mason Law right day as well.

Go on the ruins.

Hopefully so.

Holy crap.

Do you see that?

He's got more shorthanded goals in the last two nights than Gretzky had in his career.

I'm obviously joking.

That was so bad.

If you don't know what I'm talking about, third period, you're up two to one.

You've played a pretty good game.

You're on the power play again.

Your power play blows, your penalty killed blows.

And once again, Mason Law right just kind of half asses a loose puck just out in this

case, just outside the blue line gives up a breakaway goal to make it two to two back

breaker.

Then cross checks the guy takes a penalty, Buffalo scores on the power play.

Now you're down three to in the blink of an eye, 33 seconds apart, all because Mason

Law right for the second straight game, skating and cement with cement blocks around

his feet, half-assing, a gotta have it loose puck on the power play at the point.

What is his deal?

No, walk in the park.

He's just out there skating around having a good old time.

I like the player and I'm glad they've stuck with them.

They have to bench him.

Just they need to give him a breath.

They need to give him a rest.

They need to give him a view from the ninth, four miles or whatever you want to say on

that one.

I mean, the last two nights again, I say shorthanded goals, meaning he's allowed two shorthanded

goals.

Absolutely brutal and the plays were, I don't want to call them identical, but similar.

They were similar in nature.

He fumbled the puck at the blue line, then started skating back.

And again, as if he was just out for a little stroll on the duck pond.

He's hanging out at the common, just coasting around in circles.

The guy comes and picks his pocket and then bumps him out of the way and now he's in

and there you go.

Two nights in a row.

How does that happen?

He's got to take a seat, in my opinion.

All right.

We talk about Bruins.

We talk about Celtics.

You want to talk about opening night on Netflix last night?

You can talk about the red socks heading into today.

Just flipped up my MLB TV app and there it is.

There's a brewer game.

It worked.

I don't know how it worked.

I couldn't get ahold of anyone.

I don't know what I didn't sign up for anything.

I guess it's auto renew.

I don't know, but there it is.

Sorry if you're going to ask if you're a star player, Mike.

What happened?

He's out for, he's got a fraction of nothing.

We told him a fractured hand dog, your star player.

Who are you talking about?

Jackson, Cheerio.

You broke his hand already?

Yeah.

The game just started.

They just found it.

The game started five minutes ago.

Did it happen before the game?

Three hours ago, it was placed on the IL fractured left hand and injury occurred

that occurred when he was playing for Venezuela on March 4th, according to ESPN.

Oh, well, that happened.

Well, no one cares about that.

I think that game was awesome.

I think that one, the intensity level of the game was very high.

I felt like a playoff game.

The crowd was into the game.

I felt like I was a great encouraging game for JT, like high level, intensity, physical

team, and I felt like that was a step-in-the-right direction.

We still encouraging them to get back to that level of aggression that we know and are

used to, but I think tonight was a great game of him making the right plays, making the

right reads, being physical, and being adjacent to him, and I think it's a step-in-the-right

direction.

Just Jaylen Brown-Mass and the way he carries himself, part of what you just mentioned

about.

They're in better shape with the way this is shaking out.

Definitely.

100%.

Jaylen Brown's a better leader, better front man.

I mean, it feels to me like he is, you know, we touched on this last week that not only

is he basking in it, I think he's kind of excelling at it.

You know, he, you said, I think you said last week, I don't know if I've ever seen him

laugh.

Yeah, I saw him laugh in this one.

And last night he did at the podium, he laughed.

At the very end.

So again, I think it tells you about his state of mind and how comfortable he is, being

out in front and leading.

And you know what, in a lot of ways, on the floor, it's transit.

It did last night.

Last night he translated, they just need to repeat it.

What about him, all of a sudden getting to the line, like a maniac?

Yeah.

You mean, since the, since the argument with the officials, I think he even knows it.

It's just sad that the sad state of affairs in that league, but squeaky wheels get the

degree.

He knows it.

Number one, Jalen Brown, post game number one, if you could, Jimmy, please.

I feel like I've played the same style, but I feel like, you know, maybe, maybe complaining

is given a little bit more notoriety to, you know, how the game is officiated, and I

feel like I've gotten more calls.

I thought the officials did a good job tonight.

Every call is not going to be perfect, but I thought they did a great job of trying to

keep it balanced or, you know, keep it the same both ways.

So I, I have no complaints, but, you know, if they're going to get those calls like long

as we get them to, and I feel, I feel decent about it.

He goes for 31.

They beat the best team in the league, the defending champ.

And I got no palm with the official.

The one they just showed it on NBC where he pulls the SGA move on SGA upfakes, gets him

in the air, gets the call, and he's just smiling ear to ear.

Like that's when I heard that dance from him.

That's instantly the play I went to.

How many free throws he's attempted in the last seven games on average, 12, a game,

12 a game, 11.6, I'm giving you, I gave you the rounded up number, but he is average

since, since he got tossed, he is the free throw attempts are 14, 4, 21, 9, 8, 11,

14.

Paced to pitch a fit.

Yep.

Guys, it's the squeaky wheel theory telling you, yeah, stop bitching.

You'll get what you want.

Doesn't it make it a tough watch?

Sure.

Last night, it between OKC who, you know, true high end foul merchants.

And you just going back and forth, trying to draw fouls, complaining if you don't get

them.

Like, didn't you feel like that?

Just sort of what that game devolved into a little bit?

A little, but I will say I was focused more on the brown part of it.

And what I like is that when he goes in there, there are a lot of times he gets hit and

finishes anyway.

Yeah.

And so he is great at it.

He'll absorb the, he is so good at going in there.

I think he's become one of the best in the league at absorbing contact and finishing at

the rim.

He's great at us.

No, but, Matt, you know, I'm with you.

I thought the game in the second half looked different than it did in that Minnesota game

for sure.

I missed them up this game.

But I apparently went right along the same lines.

It sort of felt like in those previous two games, they were trying to make a point to

have Tatum bring the ball up, Tatum be the guy.

I don't think their offense is at the best, at their best, when that's the way that

that goes.

And I thought it was just sort of glaring last night that Brown doesn't really bring

it up.

I thought I saw him do it once, maybe twice.

It's really more pritchard bringing it up and then getting it kind of immediately to

Brown.

And you would say, well, what's the big difference?

Brown's still getting the ball and triggering the offense.

There's just something about when you're not bringing it into the front court that I think

just changes the nature of the thing.

You can react.

You know what I mean?

You're not pro acting.

You're reacting and Tatum has said he said it again last night.

You know, I've been playing my best when I just have to, the game speeds up a little and

I have to kind of react and adjust.

That's what makes him good.

That's what makes him different than everybody else is he can do it in the flow of the

game.

And I think his passing is better when he's not dribbling the ball.

Yeah, for sure.

He's a better passer when he's not dribbling the ball.

He should not want the ball in his hands all the time.

Because when it gets to him, he reads it quick when he's not dribbling.

Mozilla had a comment that stood out to you, Jimmy.

If you could please Joe Mozilla post game on a different level.

Is that the best overall you've played this season?

I mean, I don't know.

I'm sure I don't want to speak in absolutes because I'm sure there's been a bunch of other

ones.

But I do think tonight we took it to a different level and it's something that we have

to maintain.

So he is usually the guy who says after the game for all the grief we give him.

He very rarely stops and says we were great tonight.

He almost never says it.

So for him to say we went to another level is acknowledging that he saw what we saw.

And I think I think most people saw it 70 points against that team in the second half

is no joke.

Yeah, no kidding.

That is no joke.

And the way it looked is more important than the actual numbers because they were efficient.

Tatum didn't overshoot.

He didn't have the ball in his hands too long.

And for that matter, when Brown had the ball in his hands, he was usually going into the

paint.

So like to me, that's what it's supposed to be.

I thought it, that's the best I've seen their offense.

Maybe since Missoula took over, that second half last night was different six, one, seven,

seven, seven, nine, zero, ninety, five, Celtic, sprue and red socks to open up this program

whatever you want.

Joe in the car.

Let us off on the bees.

Two things real quick, Laura and Louise Wacker, they both suck and do you think the

Bruins theme is just actually built for a playoff team or just suck at a regular season

team?

I don't think they're built for a deep playoff run because I don't think their defense

is steady enough.

Their goal tending is playing at an elite level.

Swamon's playing tremendous.

And Corpus Sallow gave him what they needed last night, but not that he's a player.

No, they have the hot coley that that's for sure.

I mean, that makes some dangerous in the postseason.

You got to pay attention to him.

I just think there's too many mistakes in back mass.

Never mind.

They don't have enough firepower up front.

The roster is a middleing roster, but it's a defense that really bothers me.

It should because they're highly paid.

And I think campus Linholm is such a problem at times.

The weed Wacker, as the caller said, Mason Lauren, who again, I like as a young player

and I'm happy they're sticking with, but those plays the last two nights, I think you

got to give him, you got to take him off the ice.

If just for a game, to give him a breather and reset and just get it through a skull

that he can't do that out in the perimeter on the power play, they have such problems

on the power plays.

It is just getting in the f-ing zone.

You can't lolly gag out there when you're, you know, trying to maintain the zone or, you

know, whatever.

He just, those are just back breaking plays.

And McAvoy, I mean, he got, he got, he got picked too by Tange Thompson at the end of

the game.

So on the Buffalo power play goal, it made it three, two.

He's got a chance to clear that pocket.

I starts to dawdle just for a second.

And as you said, Tange Thompson picked his pocket and he did.

He completely picked his pocket and set up the third goal to make it three, two.

And that, again, I was on the Celtics most of the night.

I was sort of following the broons on my phone.

And when I saw that one, I went, oh, that's going to do them and they're not going to

win this game.

I think we all felt that way.

Like that was it.

And they pulled it out of there and got lucky with that bounce off the backboards.

But take it.

I mean, I thought they played a decent game like I thought they were much better last night

than they were the night before.

So you know, you want to say that they were rewarded for a good effort.

I guess maybe they were still lucky.

The lower I keep so deep playoff team, I don't think they, they don't have the firepower

up front.

The defense to me is too shaky.

And their special teams just blow and not only to have a hobo, a hobo penalty kill,

they take the most penalties in the league.

That doesn't sound like a good combination.

It is Danny in the car on the Red Sox.

Go ahead, Danny.

Yes, sir.

So opening day, the boys of summer are backed Tony.

I said, crochet wins 20 last year.

You commented, Hey, nobody wins 20 anymore.

That's just me being optimistic.

I just picked up.

There's one of 50 gold on card auto.

That being said, 24 crochet 16 wins for Connolly early.

If he gets the run support and thank you for taking a photo at the Super Bowl Tony

with my nephew and brother who said to you, Danny in the car is

my psycho brother Red Sox fan.

Have a great day.

Okay.

YouTube.

Is he being a little optimistic on the pitching there?

Yes.

Probably a little bit.

How many 20 grain winners were there last year?

Oh, God.

Are they ready?

I'm not sure.

I have Barth.

Look it up.

You just say that tomorrow already on it.

I mean, you crochet have 18 maybe.

Okay.

And how many guys won 20 in the May?

Who wins 20 games anymore?

I don't, I'm not sure there wasn't 20.

There was none last year Max Fried led the league with 19 only seven guys won at

least 15.

Okay.

So 20 and 16 dream on.

Yeah.

Never happened.

Please.

And early might get 16 and Worcester.

And look, I'm not dumping on him.

I just think they're going to send him back to the minor leagues.

So do I think they could be pretty good?

I think they could be a little bit better than everybody thinks because we're all hung up

on the right handed bat.

But the fact is they still have a significant amount of talent and most of the league sucks.

So you know, they're going to have to fight in the division so the win total might be,

you know, might be a little less than last year, but they might be a better team.

Now middle-stab from the red line, dumps in.

Rooking and stops it.

He's going to scale it right back out to center rice where I gloves it and then lost it to Benson who walks it on a breakaway and scores.

And then Laura decked him with a cross-check after the puck went in and that'll start a big break us in behind the net.

But a shorthanded goal and the sabers have tied it at two.

Yeah, this is a tough one for Mason, Laura.

It's a second night in a row.

Laura tries a spin move right in front of the Bruins bench.

Benson takes it off him.

Great backhand forehand finish.

Buffalo will go to the power play now in a tie game with 14-39 left.

They're one for two on the night coming down the near serve, but pushed into the corner.

And Corrali takes away on the hash march, but Thompson regains.

Moving behind the net in front score.

Zucker puts Buffalo into the lead.

Three-two with his second of the night, both on the power play.

So just like that, the Bruins go from up one to down one in the space of 33 seconds.

Well, there's two ways this can go from Mason, Laura.

I write either he's stapled to the bench or if he gets back out there,

he's got to be able to shake that off and contribute in the way that he's capable of contributing.

That's a tough sequence for him.

They've stuck with him and I think he's largely come through.

I like him.

And I firmly believe that a lot of defensemen in that league take,

it's just, I think it's generally a position that takes a little more time.

He is plus 11 this year.

Again, that's a big improvement from minus 40 or something minus 43.

I think it was.

Okay, so that's a 54 gold difference.

That's big difference.

He moves the puck really well.

I think there's promise there.

I like the player.

I like to see them stick with him and what.

But that doesn't mean like he can just keep doing that.

Take a seat.

And I was surprised a little disappointed.

Marco's term is been, you know,

I think a pretty exacting coach.

You know, he doesn't let much slide.

And I listened to him two nights ago after Zedorov

took that boarding penalty on Tavares that cost him a couple of goals.

And he got on Zedorov.

Pretty good.

You can't do that.

We can't have that.

And he was pretty hard on Nikita Zedorov.

So I was looking forward to the post game last night

to hearing Marco's term lay into Mason Lorai.

And I got a different, I got a different tone.

Here's Marco's term last night on Mason Lorai.

That's sequence.

He knows.

I mean, first of all, he knows he knows stuff.

But it happened twice in a row.

Yesterday was a little bit, a little bit different.

He got, they put him in a bad spot.

But again, that's, he needs to get the job done.

And, but we will help him.

We'll help him.

He's going to learn our way.

He's been pretty damn good all year long.

In a way, the tough start.

You know, I already mentioned that last few, three, four games.

You know, so now we got to make sure he's going to get back on track

with mistakes happening.

That's why we have teammates to bail him out.

Mistakes happen.

That's why we have teammates.

So that, Marco's term gets it enough

that you can't treat everyone the same way, young player.

But good grief.

Give him a seat.

Well, yeah, I looked those last two nights of brutal.

You can't do that.

No, and so the only thing I wonder is like, if he goes out who plays,

and is, is that okay?

No, but is that what terms were scared about?

Yeah, Yoke Haru or whatever.

Like I get it.

It's really not about who's coming in.

It's resetting Mason.

All right.

The, the, the fate of, you know, your team's fate is in your hands.

When you're out there with Dipsy doing with the puck or there's a loose puck

and your back is to the opponent on the pk.

You just assume there's someone up your ass.

I mean, he's just, it really, it's like he's stick handling on the ice by himself.

I mean, the, the vibe from him.

Yeah.

As if no one's coming to get it.

Like, dude, it's a game.

There's someone behind you.

So they allowed power play goals on two of the three power plays from Buffalo

through the third period.

They gave up two short handed goals on two of their power plays.

And again, the goal there wasn't technically short handed because I think

it had just expired.

But again, effectively, that was a short handed goal.

There, there are special teams are absolutely wretched back to

clothe Julie and days where he put three defensemen out there and they take

the most penalties in the league.

So I, I don't know how you up, yeah, you, you've survived that because

your goal tending is how you survived it.

But you're not going to survive that for long.

Backed your phones, Brendan in the truck.

Go ahead, Brendan.

Hey, what's going on, guys?

First time one time.

He's got a, got a take on David Pashanak.

So I know you have been a long time pater at his game.

But we got to give him some credit.

He's out there with a mitten and who's the Dinoff?

He's got 90 points in a year.

Beautiful play to finish off the goal.

Last of the Zaka.

You know, I know he's all over the pocket that print away last night.

But thank you.

So I'm about to, Brendan, but you don't find him frustrating.

So you watch the game.

I mean, you, you know that they got a power play.

Like 30 seconds into the game.

He has a horrible turnover that leads to an odd man rush.

They've rightfuled it off the crossbar.

So they were lucky to get away with that one.

You imagine he's got a, he's cherry pick in the entire game.

The cherry picking has never been worse.

So he gets a breakaway on it.

It slips on the banana peel, trips over his own feet again,

because he skates like a deer, a foul that has just

been spat out of his mother's womb is how he skates.

And even that, even the,

the Arvinson goal that made it two to one, he's cherry picking.

He gets it down low, loses it.

And Arvinson cleaned it up.

You don't find him frustrating to watch, Brendan.

So frustrating, but at the same time, like you,

you don't find players like him out there.

I think he gives you more than he takes away.

Maybe I'm going to cut you off.

Thank you.

I mean, we're going to assist.

And the, the plays that I wrote down were all the plays that he

effed up, because I watch him and I just,

I don't like his game.

So, sue me.

You, it's a personal opinion.

You can like him.

I'm not telling you not to like him.

Tell you, I, I don't like watching his game.

I don't like his game.

A goal and two assists.

He was a plus three, too, I think.

So there's just something about with, even with all those mistakes

and all of his awkward, horrible skating,

the puck finds him, the puck finds the net.

It does.

I know it.

I acknowledge it.

I mean, that goal last night.

He basically just sneaked it right inside the post.

Elite sort of finished there.

But half the time he shoots the puck.

I'm frustrated with how he shoots.

Half the time, like he had another one where he circled and

came into the high slot all alone.

And he just sort of, I thought like three quarter speed

rifled it off the goalies pads.

I could have much more with it.

Half the time when he shoots where he's got an offensive chance.

I find myself saying, would you,

what were your head and release the hounds and just let it go?

I don't know if he's trying to like finesse half of these goals.

Sometimes he does that with some kind of off speed pitch.

Some sort of five hole thing.

It's like, would you, you've got a top three shot in the game.

I mean, you do elite bullets, elite elite slap shot.

And just a howitzer put your head down and let it go.

And he's just dipsy doing.

So he tries me crazy.

I told you I watched a TSN broadcast two nights ago.

They threw up a great stat.

Another, you know, I don't care about records or stats.

Unless that you land on a list with integrity.

Do you want a list with integrity?

Sure.

They threw this up here on TSN.

Most 100.

Sorry, most consecutive 100 points seasons by a winger.

Okay, David Pasha.

Now I think is at 92 points, Kev 90 90 90.

He's got 90 with, I think 12 to go.

So he's on pace to have another 100 point season.

Here are the record for most consecutive 100 point seasons by a winger.

Mike bossy six, Gila Flore six, Yari Curry five, Nikita Kuturov four,

Brett Hull four, David Pasternak three, Alexander Ovechkin three.

Is this why he's out there cherry picking and stat humping like this?

Because he's after this stat.

At least it's a list with integrity.

If if he can get 100 points in the next 12 games, he'll be tied for a third all time.

consecutive 100 points in seasons by a winger.

Bossy La Flore Curry Kuturov hall Pasha, Ovechkin, it's a cool list.

Pretty good list.

Want to throw the centers back in there?

Sure, why not?

Oh, that's going to be a whole different list though.

So guess who has the all time record for consecutive 100 point seasons

and NHL history by anyone.

And so I'm throwing center.

Now this is all positions.

Okay.

Gratsky.

Thank you.

13.

Second on the list is six.

So he's more than doubled the next.

So again, 13 straight by 100 points.

He's the next closest guy is six.

Yep.

I gave you bossy.

Bossy.

He's tied with McDavid with six.

Bobby or with six.

Peter Stasney with six.

Lamu with six.

I'm just going to guess Lamu.

Steve Iserman with six.

Again, this is a good list.

Wow.

Gratsky blows everybody away by that much.

But it's like there's no one on here.

I'm sure they're all Hall of Famers.

At five you have Dale Howard Chuck, Marcel Dion, Phil Esposito and Brian Trotter.

Still pretty good.

Trotch tied with who did I give you?

Yari Curry with five.

I think every name I've just given you is Hall of Fame.

Yeah, right.

So there's no like again, as we've gone over this, a list of all

time list with integrity where there's not, there's not one single guy where you look

at it.

Yeah.

You know, like you do this all the time.

Like quarterback lists, all time this, all time that.

And someone like Joe Flackle pups apart, you know, even Matthew Stafford or Aaron Rodgers,

you know, who could, you know, Hall of Famers, but you know, there's some lists you just

want to be bulletproof.

Like that Celtics all time leading score a list, bulletproof list.

And this one's pretty close.

Most consecutive 100 point seasons by a winger, bossy Laflora, Curry, Kutcherov, Hall,

Poster and Aquavetchkin.

Pretty good.

Posterok might be the one flaw, might be the one guy and look at and go, but then again,

I just have a personal bias because he drives me nuts the way he plays the game.

Come on.

Follow along.

Chris and Scottsdale on the Celtics.

Go ahead, Chris.

Hi, guys.

I'm just a little frustrated and I listened to the TV broadcast last night from you, Mike.

You and Maz and I think me, are the only people that keep talking about Tatum carrying

the ball to court to pick up points or at the half court and all that, right?

I agree.

And I'm sorry, Chris, they're jumping, but I don't know why the Celtics commentators don't

look at it that way.

To me, it's so obvious how different they are.

Go ahead.

You specifically asked that question last night.

By the way, the two turnovers that happened in a row, that was Tatum doing that last night.

And you asked the question and the response you get back is, I'll give you a 50-50 on

it.

They won't go there.

And I know you can't answer why somebody else doesn't do something, but I can't ask

these guys that question.

Only you can.

What the hell?

It's simple.

This team can win at all if they don't play that way.

So I'm just frustrated with the comments.

Me too.

I don't know.

Like a lot of things, Maz, I don't see why more people don't see it the way we do.

Why?

Why is that?

I've been asking myself that question my whole life.

But look, when it comes out of Tatum, there are so many reasons and even brown to take

it out of their hands.

If you have a guy that's capable and I think Derek White is capable enough, he'll protect

the ball well enough.

I wouldn't call him an elite ball handler, but it's fine.

When you're the guy and you've got to handle the ball on top of it, now they're going

to press you.

Now you're going to get more tired.

Like you're asking a guy to do more for something that isn't really need to do.

Bird net rarely brought the F and ball up the floor.

He would loop around, get into the post or the wing and then they deliver the ball and

they run their offense.

Okay.

Not to slow your roll on that.

It is a different game and there's a lot of big time players now that bring the ball

up.

Well, Brian may have started it, but it's the point forward thing or just, again, it

does it.

Like a guy who shouldn't do it, I'm sure Durant did it.

It's like, it's kind of a new NBA thing.

Well, I'm going to get it anyway.

So let's just dispense with the perfunctries and I'll just bring it up and get into my bag

because that's what we're going to do anyway.

So a lot of teams do it.

I just think it really bogs down the Celtics when Tatum does it.

I don't like him and anybody does it for the most part unless you have a guy that gets

up the floor really fast and immediately attacks the defense.

So you know, maybe I'm bitching more about the state of the game, but I just think that

realistically, get the guy moving.

Get him moving.

Make him a moving target when you're in motion, you're faster.

So get him moving.

Get him jogging around the perimeter, run him through a back screen, whatever.

You get the idea.

And now the sudden everybody's moving.

I just think it was clear the last two games.

The amount of times Tatum did that versus the way it looked last night was just obviously

that's a massive difference.

And know what?

I don't know.

And they just like being protective of Tatum or I don't know.

I do know for a fact that the Celtics, the organization is super sensitive about the

three point shooting thing to the point where they're sensitive about Joe Mozilla talking

about it because half the time he sounds like a nut and doesn't project well.

And I think, frankly, they've told the guys to cover the team to go easy on the thing.

And so they do.

I mean, I know this.

I know this.

I know the things that they've done in terms of taking some three point conversations off

the record that really shouldn't have been.

So I think the team's sensitive about the whole three point thing and it sort of permeates

into the way the team's covered.

The guys don't want to go there who cover the team.

Maybe it's the same thing with Tatum.

Like, I don't know.

But I just, I'm looking for now.

I thought it was just so obvious the way they played last night versus the night before

in the fourth quarter was totally different, totally different.

Here's Matt in Milton.

Go ahead, Matt.

What do you got?

Guys, we got Red Sox first pitching about one hour in Cincinnati.

You know, they have a fantastic opening day with a parade.

Here we are talking about Jason Tatum, David Totserknock, let's talk about the Red Sox opening

day.

Go ahead.

Go ahead, Matt.

Go ahead and talk about it.

Go ahead and go ahead and talk about it.

What do you want to talk about?

Go.

Just talk about the game.

F you.

There is no game yet.

God, that drives me crazy when people do that.

Why are we talking about what you want to talk about?

We had the four was yours.

Talk about whatever you want to talk about.

I told you, we told whatever.

Go ahead.

Give me your Red Sox take.

Oh, you don't have one.

Oh, you don't have a Red Sox take.

I got it.

He likes the parade and Cincinnati.

What's the reason you haven't a parade?

What parade are we talking about?

You got me.

I don't know.

They have a parade and Cincinnati.

Who cares about a parade?

I certainly don't.

God, can you tell that triggers me?

I don't go to championship parades, let alone opening day parades.

Why are we talking about the Red Sox?

Oh, you don't have a Red Sox take.

Why thought you wanted to talk about him?

God, that drives me crazy.

They have a grantley was the grand marshal for the parade.

And Cincinnati today.

Who Jeff Brantley?

Yeah.

The reliever?

Yeah.

It's a two hour parade.

That sounds like a pretty lame ass parade to me of Jeff Brantley's like you're, we

come coming king or whatever.

I told you Cincinnati's a red hole.

Coming up next.

We talk.

Coming up next.

We talk Red Sox on the precipice of their season open.
