Oh, right, of course, because I should know who that is.

0:03.9

I don't hear what you think.

0:05.4

I'll tell you something that rub me right. Felger and Mass. On 985, the Sports Hub. As soon as it is to be asking this, what will you remember most fondly about this group and the season that they had? I mean, I think just who they are as competitors. I mean, I think that's it. and again, listen, like,

0:21.1

this isn't, you know,

0:22.7

when you don't win a championship for the Celtics, there's always going to be, you know, a level of we have to do better. But at the same time, we, regardless of what was going on, we came in with that type of mentality. I thought we came in with the championship mentality from the beginning of the year. And I thought the guys just put their head down and went to work. And, you know, I'm grateful that I got to coach them.

0:41.0

A lot of time, championship entire from the beginning of the year. And I thought the guys just put their head down and

0:38.0

went to work. And, you know, I'm grateful that I got to coach them. A lot of times in the world today, it's an either or society, but there's a duality to everything. And, you know, the year we won, I felt just as empty as we did when we lost. And the duality of going after something bigger yourself with a group of people is you're always going to have, there's two sides to every coin, and you have to, when you go after greatness, you have to accept the other side of that. And too many times, you know, it's all about winning, winning, winning, but you have to surrender to the idea if you're going to, when you're going after that, you're going to fail. And, you know, we've failed by not winning, but we stick to the process of being able to do that.

1:14.4

But I think that's just kind of the duality of how things work.

1:17.2

It's not an either-or thing.

1:18.5

It's both-and, and you feel both of those things, you know.

1:22.5

That was Joe Missoula post-game with just a ridiculous comment from kind of a ridiculous basketball coach, if I may say so. I come to you from the remote A-hole chair location. We're at Mazum-Mory back from our town fair, Terry Studios in Waltham. How are you guys doing? Hello, Michael. What's your initial reaction, fellas, on this reentry Monday?

1:44.8

Murray, go.

1:45.6

No, no, I'll go.

1:46.6

Look, to me, one of the great all-time collapses in Boston sports history on the part of the Celtics, if you asked me.

1:56.4

And when I think collapses, I'm talking about as much about how they looked is what the actual math was of blowing a three-to-one lead.

2:04.9

They completely fell apart.

2:07.3

It's like they forgot how to play the game, and I think there was blame to go around for everybody on the list, including Brad Stevens.

2:16.2

It's all in play as far as I'm concerned. And I'm not telling you,

2:20.8

I expect any of these things to happen. But if you said to me, would I consider trading one of

2:27.0

Tatum and Brown? Yes, absolutely. Tell me which one, and I'll still tell you yes. Because either

2:32.8

one, you tell me there's a good deal to be made. I would consider it. Why do you start there, ma'amess? I'm just telling you it's one of the many on the list. I'd consider firing the coach. Stevens, to me, is an issue, too, for how he clearly buys into this in some capacity in terms of the stubbornness with the three-pointer. like all I'm saying in a grand, you know, it's sort of umbrella comment. In my mind, it's all in play. It's all in play. Everything, anything you want to bring up as fixing the team, I'm all ears. Well, so wait, you don't get the duality of what happened over the weekend? It's a very big word for Joe Missoula.

3:08.8

Yeah, a very big word.
