| 0:00.0 | Wednesday night edition of the pod who got our gamers to get to here. Cleveland and Boston, |
| 0:05.5 | Boston shutting down the Cavaliers as they really struggled to convert from outside it. In that one, |
| 0:10.8 | I'll just want to talk a little bit about what we saw from Isaiah Thomas in his return on Tuesday night. |
| 0:15.9 | Also, we weren't planning on doing this game, but it turned into actually a really good one, |
| 0:19.5 | Golden State and Dallas. And then going to look at New Orleans getting a big win in the playoff |
| 0:25.3 | race at Utah. In addition to maybe a little bit more in some various games that we watched to some |
| 0:32.0 | small degree. So why don't we start Danny in Boston where it was a 102 88 win for the Celtics |
| 0:39.2 | in rather comfortable fashion? Yeah, I think the Celtics played well and they definitely outplayed |
| 0:44.4 | Cleveland in this game. And I'm immediately going to throw a little bit of a web blanket on that |
| 0:48.8 | by saying I didn't see anything in this one, especially with Isaiah being out, but either way, |
| 0:54.0 | really that made me think I didn't see anything when I watched this and go, oh, that's going to be |
| 0:59.9 | big and a seven game series between these two teams that's played months from now. Boston played |
| 1:04.1 | well. They deserve credit for that, but it didn't change the way I think about these two teams. |
| 1:08.4 | So you're going to say that 35 points from Taylor's ear and Marcus smart combined on seven of 12 |
| 1:15.0 | three point shooting is unlikely to recur or Kevin love shooting one for 11 from the field, |
| 1:20.6 | including some after he sprained his ankle. I mean, Boston does deserve some credit. Jared Weiss |
| 1:25.2 | and I had a discussion about this and I would love for there's people who have done research into |
| 1:29.9 | this with Boston's deflite the three point shooting against them. They've been really good this |
| 1:34.1 | year. I think they've been good over the Stevens years about whether there are some teams that kind |
| 1:38.0 | of defy our maximum on it, but generally speaking, Cleveland isn't going to shoot eight of 32 from three. |
| 1:44.2 | So Celtics, I mean, it's great that they played well and especially that they got that from their |
| 1:49.0 | bench because they are going to need some of those guys in the playoffs, you know, starters play more |
