Celtics wasn't pretty, but they come through in the clutch, and I will never, ever doubt, Derek White again.

Lock on Celtics pod, home of the winners, baby.

because the interior is being torn apart for hockey. And so now I'm up here. Later on, I will get to the VJ Edgecombe and how the cellist kept him in check, the three-point

battle.

I'll spend the second segment talking about Derek White, who did not have a good game, but

I was served a very healthy serving of Crow.

That's coming up in the second segment along with Nikola Vujovitchvich and Nemeus Keda.

But we're going to start at the top with a clutch win.

Boston Celtics, 108 100.

This was a, as Jason Tatum put it, this was a figure it out game.

I know that you and I both want the Celtics to come in, execute perfectly, build a big lead, maintain a big lead, and be done with it.

And that would be nice.

I would love for the Celtics to come in, march through the Sixers, win by 30. Very helpful to me if they did that because I'd be able to write my game story a little earlier, get it out a little sooner. You'd get this podcast a little bit sooner. But that's not how it's going to go. This is very clearly not how it's always going to go.

The Celtics have more things to figure out than we realized.

there is some validity here to,

hey, Namish Qaeda is not having the best series here.
