Emmy Heat. They win 121, 108.

I will say, though, just as an aside, like I am jealous of, this is a day that I am actually kind of jealous of those that get to do like a national sports show. I know you probably are too, Chris, because as a college football fan, the SEC returns today. We're just not in a college football hut bed, but like to me, I'd kind of like to start there. I was even thinking like maybe talk about this Patriots Raiders game tomorrow,

but I feel like there's like no buzz there. They probably should have been, considering the Raiders are 2 and 0. But they are now injury riddled. They got a, you know, they got the short week. They're traveling west coast to East Coast. And I know you brought up a stat yesterday on Felgrimaz. The teams that actually have been doing that and playing the early game are 5 and 0. 5 and 0 this year. This year. So, but I don't know. I feel like there's nothing there with that game. You know, maybe it'll be a little bit more interesting that I think. I thought it could have been after Monday night's game. but I was like, yeah, I don't know, with all the injuries there, the Raiders coming here. Even the last time they came here, I think it was early 2014. It was like kind of a rock fight game. But I don't know. There's really not that much there there. So I think we got to focus on the Celtics, really for the brunt of the three hours. The people want to talk about it. I'm sure they want to blah me because I called this series over after two games.

You must have been feeling pretty good in the first half. Oh, Chris. I mean, that was a complete no-show there. Like those, that team was just bumming threes, bad body language. They looked like they were ready to pack it in and get the hell out of there. Like they wanted to be out of the bubble. And then, you know, I don't know if you want to call it flipping the switch. I just, I really think it comes down to two things. It's, the Miami heat shot them back into it in the, in the third quarter. Celtics certainly got better defense, but it just comes down to this for the Celtics last night. In the offensive side, they stopped settling for jumpers. They attack the basket.

And when you do that, you win.

And what I loved about that the most, it wouldn't have mattered to me if I was watching two teams. I don't even care about it. That was Nuggets and Lakers last night. I liked that for the Celtics last night. I would love that overall. because it's it's a blah and a in an effue to the nerds who i also think have

infiltrated the NBA and there's this emphasis on you know the three ball and in outside

shooting and look i don't expect at the NBA to go back to what it was 15 20 years ago and

nor should it but i'd like a little bit more balance.

And you saw balance last night, and as they attacked the rim and they get points in the paint, it does open up more threes. Oops, sorry, that's me. What was happening over there? Yeah, I accidentally unmuted the sound of my laptop. Oh, well, good thing it wasn't Pornhub. but that last night was like a nice FU to the nerds, who I think of kind of mucked up the NBA. And, you know, it was emphasis on like kind of old school basketball. And that's why the Celtics won that game, which was good. And they should. They should focus a little bit more on that. Nice night for Tice. Great night for Tatum. and kudos to, because I didn't think that they had them, especially with the way that

that game started.

That first half, I was like, wow, not only are they ready to go, like, this is a complete

no-show, these A-holes.

Like, they've actually proven me right.

They have no heart.

They don't want to be there.

While I think they're more talented, they just didn't, like, not only they're going to lose to this heat they're just not even going to play and thankfully you know they reset themselves at that half time and we'll get into some of the comments that were made by kemble walker and he took a real leadership role last night and good for him but you know they live to fight another day and that's a good thing yeah i mean i think if there's one takeaway from the series i think you mentioned it it's attacking the paint points in the paint the two games they've won. So last night they had the points in the paint. The two games they've won. So last night,

they had 56 points in the paint. And the other game they've won in the series, they had 60 points

in the paint. And Jalen Brown talked about this a little bit after last night's game saying,

Miami does a good job with that zone and their length of making it look like you can't get in there,

but you can still get in there.

You just have to get in there with force and understand it's not going to be easy.
