Yeah, yeah, yep, yep, yep, yeah. Bo Hess. And now, the end is near. Bo. Felger and Mass. 985, the Sports Hub. All right, final hour, Felger and Mass here on 985, the Sports Hub, simulcast, as always, across New England and the country on CSN. I want Blake Griffin. I don't want Gordon Hayward. That came to me today like a lightning

bolt, almost Tebow-esque. And we all know how that one worked out for me. But what can I tell you? I had the feeling. And I know right where I was, too, I was taking a dump, Murray. You get a little tingle in your pants. I was on the pot and I said, wait a minute. Why do I want Gordon Hayward. Why do I want

I see another guy shoot

jumpers? Because

they're not winning anything anyway in the next wait a minute. Why do I want Gordon Hayward? Why do I want? I see another guy shoot jumpers.

Because they're not winning anything anyway in the next three to four years.

This is a bridge team.

So I want another guy to shoot jumpers, another three-point shooter.

You know, he's a little coach's pet.

Or do I want Blake Griffin with his shorts dangling on my forehead? I want Blake Griffin. You have those fancy seats every so often. That's right. I want to high-five my fellow white guy in the front row after a dipsy-due dunkeroo. Like, that's how I started, because I purely thought of it as it's really not basketball related. It's more move the needle. I want something to move the needle. You're not winning anyway. Blake Griffin is 10 times more interesting to me than Gordon Hayward. And he's not a pain in the ass like Dwight Howard. I mean, that's why I was, I mean, he's old, back problems, everything else. That's why I was out on Howard last year. I can come around. I still have issues with the durability factor, but Blake Griffin overall, good player. Okay, so, but not a knucklehead. To me, it wasn't a basketball thing. It was like sex appeal.

Like, Griffin player. Okay. So, but, but not a knucklehead. To me, it was a basketball thing. It was

like sex appeal. Blake Griffin's got better sex appeal. But then I, now I've started to look at the basketball point and the basketball part of it. And I have, I've got to be convinced that Gordon Hayward's better basketball wise than Blake Griffin, too, because I'm not convinced of it. But the basketball snobs, that's your job. Because I've now

looked at the straight stats. I've looked at the advanced metrics. I've looked at the style of play. I've looked at all the numbers. And there is no case you can make for Gordon Hayward over Blake Griffin. There's no case. Griffin scores as much, rebounds better, defends better, advanced metrics has better efficiency ratings.

So what? And he fills out your roster better. He balances your roster better. You don't need another wing player. You need a big guy. So it explains to be basketball-wise. That's one point.

The other is the Red Sox stuff. And this thing with the lineup is priceless. It really is.

I'm telling you, Brian Johnson is going to be backing up third and running the first all night to cover the bag. That poor bastard. Pablo, talk about the hot corners. Pablo and Hanley. Oh, yeah, they're hot. All right. Here's Tim and Marblehead. Go, Tim. Hey, boys, I just think with this thing with the weather, price, and how, you know, Maserley isn't excited about them, scratching victories from the Phillies.

Like, it's going to be a leadership thing.

They don't have an identity.

When you say they're boring, to me that points to I don't know what this team is when I turn them off.

Like, what is the identity?

And I know it's kind of cliche, but like the thing with the Cubs and Hayward pulling them aside,

they're in the Rained O'A and the World Series. Who does that for this team? Who does that? Is it Bogota? I think that's legit. No, I think it's totally legit, Tim, and it's a fair point. Like, when I say they're boring, the identity thing is a big part of it. You know, because I like watching when he's playing well.
