I don't know what you should do, Mike.

0:02.6

I think I'd rather take a bullet in the head. I'd rather stick needles in my eyes. I don't know what to say. Felger and Mass. The Beyond Dumb 2 to 6 show, right? Jackpot! 985, the Sports Hub. You've got to hit first. You can't wait to make contact when Lopez is running into the paint is at the charge circle. He's winning that battle.

0:21.2

Same thing if somebody's running from the corner to get an offensive rebound. You can't wait until he gets to the paint to make contact. You've got to block out sooner than that. That doesn't guarantee you're going to get it every time. That gives you a better chance. Okay, that's Brad Steven, Celtics coach, on getting a butt on a guy and not giving up all those offensive rebounds. So Celtics Bulls go at it tonight.

0:38.7

Game 2, 8 p.m. here on 985, the sports hub. Pregame starts at 7.30. We got Grandi and Max on the call, as always. So listen to the game tonight on 985, the sportsup. CSN as well, if you're watching on the simulcast. There's no way the Celtics lose this one, is there, ma'am mask? No, I think absolutely zero shot. To me, this game is the only thing we could learn about the Celtics in this game is negative. Is negative. If they lose tonight, well, then they're the most gutless team going. In the NBA, as a number one seed or even as a top two or three seed, how do you have home court

1:11.7

and lose the first two?

1:13.5

I mean, if you do that, you're sackless.

1:15.4

You shouldn't even be in the playoffs.

1:17.4

You're sackless and talentless and everything else.

1:19.7

You're a complete fraud and phony team.

1:21.8

And the coach would be widely overrated too.

1:23.7

So the coach is overrated.

1:25.1

But again, you know, because my feeling overall is that the great players in that league, you can win a championship with a bad coach and great players. You can't win it the other way around. Yeah. I'm sorry. Go ahead. No. So I would just tell you that to me, Celtics and I should be a lock. It feels like the safest bet in sports. They should be able to, I just asked B. Rob, what the spread was. He said six and a half or something like that. And, you know, for entertainment purposes, to me, I'd pet the house on the Celtics tonight. If they lose this game, they barely deserve to be in the league for crying out loud. Yeah, I saw their favorite by seven.

2:16.2

So, you know, half point difference, but there's no shot that Bobby Portis goes off for 19 points again and gets three-threes. Jay Crowder's not going to be as bad as he was in game one. The rebounding has to be better. They win this game tonight. It is a lock. And they should get help from the officials. Well, that too. Absolutely. Right.

2:35.5

You know, the league doesn't want, you know, the league doesn't want a home team down 2-0. Not a one seed. Yeah, no way. They don't want that either. You know, they want to milk some of these things a little bit. So the Celtics should get some help from the officials. And I would hope that based on Stevens's comment the way the game one went, that these guys are looking for people to plant in the first row of the seats every time a shark goes up.

2:38.9

Well, you know, the rebounding advantage, we obviously spent a lot of time on it yesterday,

2:42.9

and just how bad it was.

2:44.4

I'll give you some numbers to back it up.

2:45.7

It can't possibly be that bad two straight nights.

2:48.0

So the Bulls had 20 offensive rebounds, while the Celtics had 24 defensive rebounds,

2:54.8

which Matt said yesterday, you know, it's basically a coin flip whenever the Bulls shot the ball,

2:59.3

who would get it on the second chance, which is, you know, feels insane.

3:03.1

So the Bulls got second chance opportunities on 45% of their trips.
