Okay, set the board there is before we went to a break, so here we go.

Right to the phones, as promised.

Andrew and Waltham on the South.

Go ahead, Andrew.

Hey, you want to talk a little bit about Brad Stevens. First off, I don't think you should be fired. I mean, obviously, a system isn't working, but, I mean, there's not much the guy can do when you got Al Horford, Amia Johnson and Kelly Olinick all over, whatever, six foot ten, let's say,

that don't know how to grab a freaking rebound.

I mean, they get killed on the boards every night. Andrew. The second chance point is disgusting. How many second chance points Chicago's gotten. And, I mean, he has no one to look for. If I'm from him, I might throw in Jordan, Mickey, just to give him a shot because he can rebound. But other than that, they don't clean up the boards. I see it. It's over. I'm with you. It always starts with the players in every sport. But basketball, it's even, it's doubled. How it starts with the players. Yeah, and the overall lack of talent, that obviously falls on Danny Aange. But not to have this team playing just a little bit better in these first couple of games. again, home games. The refs are just, they are ready to hand you these games in the NBA and the playoffs. And he can't bring it. They have these guys bring it up a little bit of a notch. And then you see some of this infighting at the end of the second game like that. Look, I know that it's about the players in that league. But I refuse to believe that it doesn't matter at all. Murray, I love the take.

I don't agree with it, but it wouldn't upset me if they did because I think the next coach, even if he's not as good as Brad, what's the difference really going to be? So what, you're going to win 51 instead of 53 in the regular season? There's not a huge difference. And it can't be any worse in the postseason. No matter who you bring in here.

You're bringing, you know, Dan the angry call screener.

He can go two and worse in the postseason. No, no matter who you bring in here. You're bringing, you know, Dan the angry call screener.

He can go two and ten in the playoffs.

So there's been no difference in the playoffs. You want to bring a new guy? Fine. Bring a new guy. I'm not doing it because I think he's a good young coach and is a good future. I just hope that if, and I don't think it's over, by the way,

but if the Celtics go down and go down early,

then it will just pump the brakes a little bit on A, how good the coach is and the importance of the coach in the first place. And building around a coach, that's kind of stupid in that league. Oh, it's not kind of. It's entirely stupid. So just, again, ask yourself the question. if the key to making the deal is that you have to send Stevens do you do it?

Oh, see you later.

In a minute. I walk him to Indiana. Right. So put Stevens in the package with the Brooklyn pick for Paul George. No problem. Anthony and Medford, go. Hey, what's up, Mike? I don't know how much you want to read into this on what Maz brought up.

My daughter works at a prominent nightclub in Boston,

and Smart and Brown used to come in all the time together.

It's a club that the Patriots and the Celts go into,

and ever since the shenanigan on the court,

they haven't been together seen at the club.

I know Brown, I asked her, and he isn't even 20 yet, but, you know, they spend a lot of money to let them in. So I don't know how much you want to believe that. But on the south, Mike, I think we got a few more bricklays to go into the union with Bradley clanking him and Crowder.
