Felger and Maz on 985, the Sports Hub.

Hour number two, Felger and Mazz, 985 of Sports Hub.

Simultcast on NBC Sports, Boston.

No Mike and Tony today is they are off, well, today and tomorrow.

I have the foresight to take most of this week off here to celebrate Fourth of July, like many of you.

So you get yours truly, Big Jim are here in the eight-hole chair alongside Sean Silver.

We have the usual duo behind the glass, an executive producer, Jeremy Stewart,

and director of first impressions as well, and producer Billy Lanny.

You want to join us, 617-779-0-095 again is the phone number.

We opened up talking about Julian Edelman, suspension being upheld, a lot of NBA stuff as well,

as the off-season continues, and the rumors continue to swirl around Kauai Leonard and Kyrie Irving, according to unnamed NBA executives, one of which I'm

sure is Magic Johnson, linking Kyrie to the Knicks next summer. Let's go to Paul in Somerville,

your next year on Felger and Mass. Hey, Paul. Hey, Murray, First of all, it was great running into you at five horses yesterday. I hope you're feeling better. Oh, was that you in the, uh, that was you in the USA bird jersey? I was the hungover guy in the USA Bird jersey. Yeah. Good to see you as well, sir. Um, anyway, you have very right to be ticked off working this whole week. I worked every day last year this week, including the fourth. Never again. Real quick on the Celtics, like, they don't need Leonard. They don't need cousins. They can beat the Warriors as is. You guys had a field day throwing an asterisk on the 2017 Celtics because Rajon Rondo got hurt. Well, then you've got to put a giant asterisk on the Warriors championship. Because with Chris Paul is healthy, they're probably not even in the finals. And we're still used to watching LeBron James go to the finals every year with ease. We can't take for granted how hard that is. Those guys are putting so many minutes on those legs and high-pressure games. It's going to fall apart at some point. And if I think Boogie Cousins coming up in Achilles are going to solve their death problem, I don't really see it. I'd be more worried about facing whatever the Lakers are going to do in the finals and the Warriors. They get that far. Thanks, Paul. You know, I typically don't like being told where and when I can put out the asterisk. But Paul's right there. And, you know, it's not like we did a lot of, you know, Western Conference Finals talk here on the show at the time.

But ultimately, if I'm being fair with an asterisk, which I like to do, yes, yes, this, you could put a wee asterisk on the Warriors championship this year because if Chris Paul doesn't go down, look, that could have went the other way. it felt like it was going to before that injury. I know I was rooting for it. Yeah, absolutely.

And everyone talking about the just dominance of the Warriors, I mean, are we completely forgetting what happened? What was it? Six weeks ago here? It was the three-two lead. I mean, and not to mention, what was it against Oklahoma City? Pre-Duran, they almost lost that series, too, in the conference finals. So this is a Golden State team that, yeah, they've won three out of the last four, but everybody has hiccups, and those assuming the Celtics are just going to cruise this year? I mean, Philly, particularly if they make an addition. I mean, that's a juicy rivalry. I'd love to see for the next half decade here. The Celtics and Philly just going at it,

but I feel like Philly needs to add to do something there.

Let's go to Rich in East Bridgewater with the Patriots thought. Hey, Rich. Hi, Jimmy. How are you feeling? I've been better, but, you know, appreciate you asking. Well, I heard that guy, Mike and Carla called up, and can't you just picture him sitting at the kitchen table and mommy putting a napkin on his shirt so he doesn't spill the tomato soup with his quidl cheese sandwich?

Eh, I mean, I look.
