Welcome on to a I don't know what this is going to be six seven we'll see how far we got

0:05.6

Because there we have so much stuff that we need to talk about we're gonna just spread this over two episodes and the biggest thing that I wanted to discuss even involves

0:14.7

a team that isn't even in the Eastern Conference but it also involves the team that

0:18.2

is at the top of the Eastern Conference and that is the Boston Celtics.

0:23.0

We are going to do this in terms of record order in the Eastern Conference and so that starts

0:28.0

appropriately with the Boston Celtics 28 and 7, 9 and 2 since the last 15 and 60.

0:33.7

I will note these were compiled, I believe, before Sunday's games.

And so it's important to establish the context here because they did lose

1:14.7

the game that we're talking about to the Thunder 127-123 and but since then they've

1:19.9

kept rolling right along they just summarily dismissed the jazz in a game that was never

1:25.3

close on Friday night. Second night of a back to back go to Indiana where they lost in the

1:30.4

in season tournament. No problem. They control control that one basically the entire way as

1:34.8

well Pacers never led in that game even with Chris Staps Porzingus going out early with an eye issue that hopefully

1:41.6
