| 0:19.9 | All right, welcome to Hoops tonight here at DeVal. |
| 0:21.7 | Happy Friday, everybody. |
| 0:22.7 | Hope all you guys are having a great end to your week. |
| 0:24.9 | Today is Mailbag Day. |
| 0:27.0 | We will occasionally have mailbags throughout the playoffs as we find time, but we do shift |
| 0:31.8 | very heavily towards game reaction because we just have games every single night, and those |
| 0:36.7 | games are so important and so interesting. So we'll see. I'm going to try to fit in a mailbag here. There will probably do them during the morning sometimes. But this could be our last mailbag for a little while. So I'm really excited. You guys did a great job dropping questions in. We got about 12 questions to get to today that bounce all around the league. You guys know the Joe before we started.

| 1:45.9 | has just been super fun to watch. And specifically, like, what those two kind of give you as a |
| 1:52.7 | floor refer a basketball team. And to put it very simply, like, I don't care what else is around |
| 1:58.5 | them. As long as Jason Tatum and Jalen Brown are playing together, |
| 2:02.1 | the Celtics are always going to have a shot to win the title. |
| 2:05.0 | It's a combination. |
| 2:05.8 | When you talk about duos, |
| 2:07.3 | you're looking for two specific kind of like dynamics |
| 2:11.4 | in order to drive a kind of like a greater than the sum of your parts versus a greater than the sum of your parts |
