908.5 to sports up. We're Toucher and Rich. We're in the Town Fair Tire Studio. We are simulcast on CSN.

The Celtics looked like they're in control of this series. We saw somebody get their soul

crushed last night, and that somebody would be the Chicago Bulls. All around, you saw them

melting down, losing their minds in that fourth quarter, and you could see things brewing after game four with a lot of the comments that were made, obviously, by the coach and Jimmy Butler.

But, I mean, Fred, we talked about this off the air before we came on the air.

Dwayne Wade, the man just said, I'm not playing defense.

Yeah.

I'm just giving up.

I don't care. Throw me the ball. I can make my shots. If I'm open, I'll shoot and probably go in. But I am going to, there was a video that somebody tweeted to be yesterday. And I forget what it was. I think it was an Avery Bradley three attempt. And then there was a follow up. And I forgot who ended up tipping it in. but Dwayne Wade just stood there and watched it.

And he was like right outside the key.

He could have easily gotten the rebound, but he just kind of said, eh, I'm not even second half especially. The second half he watched. A guy drove right past him, and he literally stood there, not even in an athletic stand. Right. Yeah. He just stood there watching him.

He couldn't have walked slow.

Like, he just wasn't trying. And he was trying to make it dramatic. Like, he was showing you, he was putting no airs on. He was just not trying. Yep. And people were like, well, he almost had a triple double. Okay. He made a lot of shots. Yeah. Step back threes and stuff Like it wasn't, you know, like he was this

Jimmy Butler was like tying his shoes He made a lot of shots. Yeah. Step back threes and stuff. Like, it wasn't, you know, like he was this.

Jimmy Butler was, like, tying his shoes. Like, not running down the court. Like, it was all weird. Well, Fred, this is what we've been talking about all season long with the Bulls. You're seeing it last night. It's this dysfunction. It's people deciding when they want to play. Fourth quarter last night is what Chicago was like in January and February.

Rondo wasn't playing. This time it's for a different reason, but Rondo was buried on the bench. He and Fred Hoyberg were at odds. Dwayne Wade didn't like playing with Jimmy Butler. And it's been a while since I've seen Robin Lopez lose it like that. And by the way. At the end of a game. It's just complete dysfunction. And we were talking about this. All the Celtics needed to do was produce one big win and maybe we'd see that fracture in the foundation again. And that's what happened in the fourth quarter last night. I mean, Mike Gorman has been on the Avery Bradley train for the longest time, even though I think that one time he kind of overstepped. value. He wouldn't trade him for anyone except for LeBron or Durant. He did say that. Yeah, he did say. It was the only two people that he wouldn't trade him for. I think he's very close personally with Avery Bradley. And he's a little slanted on that. Well, listen, he's everything you would want in a player for your team, obviously. I mean, the guy works hard except, you know, I wish he wasn't injured so damn much. But last night on defense, he was phenomenal. And he's been phenomenal the entire series. But up against Jimmy Butler, as a matter of fact, Chris Forsberg from ESPN, who thank goodness he's still employed. I like his stuff. He actually tweeted this out last night.

He talked about, he compared when Avery Bradley and Jimmy Butler were guarding each other.

So when Butler was guarding Bradley, Bradley was able to get off 11 points. He was 5 for 10.

When Bradley was guarding Butler, he was 1 for 5 with only 2 points and Bradley caused a turnover as well.

The most important thing. Obviously,

Avery Bradley's a very good defensive player and not many people can shut Jimmy Butler down. He did a

great job last night. But I think as big a story is what he did for the offense last night.
