Coming up on this podcast in one second, we're going to be talking to Andre Guidala, bringing in Bacar sellers and Van Lathen. Then I had a few things to say about Tom Seever.

So that is the agenda. I want to talk about basketball really quickly here at the top.

So it's Thursday night. I was going to put this up earlier, but I needed two hours to recover from a devastating Celtics loss. Just devastating.

They had a chance to sweep them. They're better than Toronto. And now it's two one Toronto has life. Toronto throws the kitchen sink of the Celtics.

They play Lowry 46 minutes. He's got five miles most of the fourth quarter. Van Vley plays, I think 43 minutes.

They're just running those guys in the ground because they know the moment they come out, they're not going to be able to score.

Which is smart. It's exactly what Coach Bud didn't do with Milwaukee. The first two games where he's playing Yannis like it's January.

And meanwhile, they're down to nothing in the series. Nick nurses like I can't survive without Lowry and Van Vleyna out there.

Rides him totally works. And yet somehow the Celtics still go ahead with 0.5 seconds left. Great play by Kamba. And now it looks like the Celtics are headed for a sweep.

Brad Stevens brings Taco fallen to guard the in bounce pass. I will never understand that one. Nothing I hate more than an ice cold guy coming on the court.

I always feel like it's a bad omen. I can't explain as much as I love Taco. And they have a defensive laps, miscommunication, all the sudden, OG and an Obis wide open in the corner.

Somehow takes a three and half a second. And instead of up 3.0 with the chance to be cruising 7.0 in the playoff bubble.

The Celtics let the Raptors back into it. Now they didn't really play that one today there. They other than Kamba. Nobody was making shots. They kept Lin Toronto hang around Toronto really, really, really through everything they had into that game today, though, and barely once. So if you look at for silver linings for the Celtics.

They still haven't played like a great game in this series. Toronto did everything they could and barely, barely, barely by a miracle shot were able to avoid going down 0 3.

And I think the biggest thing is, you know, see, I come has just stunk and you know, they think they seem like they think he can post up jail and Brownie just can't they can't get him going. They can't unlock him.

So all their offense is coming from these two guards. And I think as the series goes along, especially once we get to a game six game seven, if it gets there, you know, the tendency of that as the guards, the legs start to go and it just becomes harder and harder from the create offense. But that back court was tremendous today. And, you know, the Celtics.

There are up for a couple of times there with like a minute, half minute left, bad possessions. And then it still felt like they were going to steal, steal a game there. But man, to let Toronto off the hook.

Just brutal. So that was one thing that happens. Since the last time we had a podcast.

The other one is we had a game seven with Houston and Oklahoma City. And it was one of those games where there are really no winners.

Other than Lou Dort, who ended up being being the guy who got his shop locked with the season on the line at the end, but he was kept them in that game.
