Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yeah.

Bow, Hess, Bo Hess.

And now, the end is near.

Feltgar and Mass.

985, the Sports Hub.

All right, 504 in the evening here on Felger, Mass, final hour of the program, coming to you from our Ace Ticket Studios in Kenmore Square, right around the corner from Fenway Park, where it's Red Sox Cubs. 985 the Sports Hub also your home for game six tonight, Celtics Bulls. The tip is at 8 o'clock, Murray? Yeah, 8 o'clock. Pre-game show here starts at 730. So you want to be here on 985 the Sports Hub for Celtics playoff action. Also game on CSN if you're following us on the simulcast. Is this series over, maz, by the way? No, not necessarily, no. Because I think that the Bulls can still win game six tonight. I think game seven is still for this Celtics team a bit of a coin flip. Don't you feel like Chicago is about to tap out? Yeah, O-V-A-H. Oh, God. Do I feel like they are about to tap out well let's all of a sudden it's like they're taking a cue from the Celtics all of a sudden Jimmy Butler is two bad knees yeah like oh god oh my arm it's broken like all of a sudden all of a sudden he's not dealing with one bad knee no no two bad knees Murray and now Rondo is not going to play with a little thumb boo-boo?

Maybe I should get some more ink on my asterisk stamp, though, because if he's been hurt this whole series. He hasn't been. He's fine. I know. I don't like the out in that game. I don't like the Butler News either. And I thought for sure. It's a cop-out. And I thought for sure Rondo would play. but I also think that, you know, once the ball goes up in the air, that everything changes.

And so, look, I don't rule out Chicago win in. I do. Yep. Chicago's given them an excuse. The series over. They've given themselves an excuse. They've given themselves an out. I don't feel that way. Yeah, their start tapped out of the fourth quarter of the last game and now heading into the next. He's got two bad knees all of us. Two bad knees. Could you be more pathetic? Like that is, that is so shameful. Even the Celtics are looking at that and going, dude, that's sort of embarrassing. See, I don't know. Part of me wonders whether they're sort of playing possum a little. Like, you know, and maybe Butler's going to come out and play better. Is he really going to have two stinkers in a row? Oh, he's got bad knees now. I mean, you know, again, just look at the progression from the last three games. Zero free throws, 23 and 1. So this feels like another 23 coming up. Like, I'm sorry, you have too much faith in the Celtics. That's what I think.

They are totally capable of throwing up on themselves tonight in Chicago. It's not about the Celtics. Sure it is. No, it's about the Bulls. I'm down on the Bulls. I think they've tapped out. They've tapped out. And I don't know. I mean, look at some of those shots that they were making. Robin Lopez failed layup. They're a mess.

I would like to think that this would have been a more competitive series after those first couple of games. But what we've seen, especially in that fourth quarter in game five, this is over. Over. I mean, the Rondo absence will completely change the series. I'm telling you, don't underestimate the Celtics ability to puke on themselves. So we can have that on the table along with everything else. Back to the phones. Joe and Situate on Brady and Garoppolo. Hi, Joe. Listen, Thalga, I'm beside myself. You know, last night when you were talking to Charlie Weiss, I mean, did you have wax in your ears? Didn't you hear what he said? The man, Tom Brady, he's not normal. I mean, this guy is going to play,

and if he stays healthy, he's playing. So are they making a mistake by not trading Garaplo

for that first round pick? I think that if Bill Belichick has a, I know, you know, there is a chance

they're going to keep this kid, but they're going to keep him out of greed.

And I think they're going to keep Gropro, only for the point that, you know, Brady gets a knee blown out or something like that. This kid's already groaned. He can, they already know what he can do. So you're okay with them giving up the 12th? Joe, you're okay with him? He definitely gone after next year. If Brady stays healthy, he is playing.

And even if his game does. If Brady stays healthy, he is playing.

And even if his game does drop off a little bit, he's still better than everybody

else in the league.

Do you think the Patriots had a right winning that game in February?

Are you kidding me?

And that's so-called old man pulled it out of his rare end and won that game.

There's nobody else that could have done that. Joe, aren't they making a mistake then for not getting a high first-round pick for a guy that's never going to play again? The other caller was right. There's no way this kid's going to sit behind him for eight years. Okay, so then aren't they making a mistake by not taking a high first-round pick for him? They're making an absolutely huge mistake, but they can't be that stupid.

And I know they're not that stupid.
