Joe Missoula on the green teamers and the Celtics will, when the playoffs begin this weekend,

they will have home court throughout, I guess, until you get to the Eastern Conference

finals, if it ends up being Detroit, the gets there as well.

Yeah.

For me, I think it's utter disappointment if you don't make to the NBA finals.

That's just me as a fan watching, you know, watching the, you know, basketball this year,

watching the way the Celtics are playing, watching what Tatum looks like now that he's back.

That is how I'll feel.

I don't worry about anybody in the Eastern Conference.

Yeah, I think most recently what really works in your favor if you're the Celtics is that now the Knicks are stuck facing the Hawks.

The Hawks are definitely a better team than they could have seen in the first round.

And the Hawks just basically sat there and said well it's either going to be the calves or the

Knicks they just beat the calves a couple games ago and they had a one score loss to the Knicks

like they're telling you that they're not afraid of the Knicks and they feel like they match up well

this could get into a situation where then the Celtics come out of the first

round and never have to see the Knicks. Which I do think that they are well-matched teams

against each other. I think the Celtics team is better. But there's always going to be like a

psychological thing one way or another because they took you out of the playoffs last year and because Tatum has these bad associations with MSG.

Were you of the mind that if Tatum had not been injured, the Celtics would have won that

series?

No.

No, no, no, no.
