Talking to Mike Gorman, voice of the Boston Celtics on NBC Sports Boston, where they don't promote our show anymore. They don't. But Gorman's taking care of that. Well, we're going to work on that. We'll do some ad libs. Yeah. I mean, what are they going to do? Fire you? Yeah. I can go back and forth with Tommy because we know Tommy's so familiar with you guys. well, listen, I mean, it's hard to get us in on the high five, but we'll, you do it. Wild Dick, where ya? I would pay money to hear him say that. I'm sure he would do it if you would pay him money. It's literally two seconds of the man's time. Two seconds of the man's time. That would be nice.

That would be nice.

So, okay, Mike, real quick, there's a strange trend going on with the Celtics,

and that is that they are getting much better offensively than they have been as of late.

But as a result, defensively, they've been, I guess, I don't want to say slacking.

They're still pretty good defensively, but the numbers have been going down.

Is there a way to, like, can you, is it impossible the way that the Celtics team plays in under Brad Stevens that they can't be great at both?

Well, they're going to have to be really great at both if they're going to contend.

But I think this is just kind of a normal ebbs and flows of the season that one side gets better,

the other side gets better.

The whole thing here is to be playing well three months from now, not to be playing necessarily all that well right now.

So I don't get concerned about the ebbs and flows and whether they're better

defensively.

The rebounding issue still concerns me.

I think that was, I don't want to call it Fool's Gold, but I'll call it Fool's Gold

at the beginning of the year how well the team was rebounding.

I still think that's a problem for the team long term, and I still think that's something

that Danny may ultimately deal with come February.

But other than the rebounding issue, anything else is just a normal flow of playing 82 games.

Mike, where are you on the whole Marcus Morris off the bench theory?

Obviously, it's working so far.

But in the long run, do you think Morris is better served off the bench or in the starting lineup? I think he's better served off the bench. I agree with Tommy on that. I think it takes a lot of the pressure of both Smart and Roseir to be scorers off the bench and allows them to dis-defend when they're out there with Morris, who, again, aggressively looks for his own shot. So, yeah, I like, I don't know how crazy Marcus is about it, but I like Morris coming
