My guy, because he was my guy before he was any of your guys.

I thought you disowned him.

We have a love-hate relationship.

My guy, McKell Bridges, opened up his mouth.

He said something controversial.

And then late last night, I know many of you weren't watching, he hit not just a buzzer

beater, but when you down two and you hit a game winning three, that's a real

buzzer beater. But what I'm confused about, Teak, so yesterday late in the show, we heard what

McKell Bridges had to say. He was sort of critical of Tom Thibodeau and basically telling the

coach, hey, let's cut down on the minutes, partially siding the bench, how guys deserve

opportunities, but also saying, quote, sometimes it's not fun on the body.

So Bridges was obviously talking about the wear and tear of playing big minutes.

Tom Thibodeau addressed this right before the game and says, quote, for one, we never had a conversation about it.

Then Tom Thibito goes into a diatribe,

defending the amount of minutes he plays his guys.

We'll get to that in a second.

Let's start with the first thing.

He denied Mikhail Bridges' claim that they ever even talked about it.

Well, I think there's nuance in this in this lack of a conversation

because Mikkel Bridges easily could have said to him

hey, Tibbs, enough with the minutes.

The bench guys deserve some time.
