| 0:00.0 | I'm J.A. Don Dei and it's an honor to host this show with one of the biggest names in our business. |
| 0:10.0 | Tony Cornheiser. |
| 0:12.0 | Likewise, AJ. |
| 0:14.0 | Likewise. |
| 0:15.0 | Here's what. Like that's a funny line. But what people need to know. |
| 0:18.0 | Is that a Don Dei and I go back, I don't know, 30, almost 40, not by 40, but you, I mean you were. |
| 0:26.0 | 30, 30. And in turn at the Washington Post, that started you career as a sports writer. |
| 0:31.0 | In turning and Woobhan and I take great pride in that, Woobhan especially because of the Northwestern. |
| 0:36.0 | You should take great credit. |
| 0:38.0 | You should take great credit for the advice that you gave me. |
| 0:41.0 | My advice is always stupid. Please. |
| 0:44.0 | Well, good to P.T.I boys and girls. Woobhan couldn't finish what he started this week so I am thrilled to be joined by our great friend, J.A. Don Dei. |
| 0:52.0 | Big cheer. Big cheer. And we begin today with the stunning fourth quarter of last night's game one of the NBA finals. |
| 1:02.0 | Boston was down 12 to Golden State entering that quarter, but hit their first seven threes, wound up winning the quarter, 40 to 16 and winning the game 120 to 108. |
| 1:13.0 | This was the Warriors first home loss in the playoffs in 10 games. J.A. how do you make sense of what you watched and what does it mean going forward? |
| 1:21.0 | Well, nothing would be more stunning Tony. Did you stay up for the end of it? That would be stunning to me, even more stunning than the Celtics got back. |
| 1:28.0 | If you saw it live, but the thing that doesn't make sense is that the Celtics took this game on the Warriors court without a great performance from Jason Tatum. |
| 1:37.0 | You know, and I thought that would have been the recipe for them was Tatum playing as great, matching some of the performances he's had earlier in this playoffs. |
| 1:44.0 | He didn't and yet the Celtics still one basically going away. So I think that changes the dynamics of the series now Tony if they can win games without Tate Tatum playing at a historic level at an all NBA level, then the Warriors got some things to figure out. |
| 1:59.0 | So I would think that every other team in the NBA after something like this would be reeling and panicked. |
| 2:07.0 | And Golden State is the one team I don't think will have that reaction. They are veterans. They are champions. If the Golden State players say it was just one game, don't worry about it. |
| 2:17.0 | I would tend to agree with them because of the body of work they have put together, but you're 100% right in this regard. You can't lose that game. |
