And now the Low Post.

Welcome to the Low Post on a somber day in the NBA.

0:09.0

We will talk about the passing of an absolute giant in Jerry West at the age of 86 later today,

0:17.8

later in this episode rather, but we're going to start with an absolutely wild NBA finals game in which the Boston Celtics

0:26.9

went into Dallas, took a big lead, made a lot of threes, Celtics formula, and part of the Celtics formula is melting down on offense in the fourth quarter.

0:37.6

When you have a leave, I think it's been an overblown part of their formula, but there was going to be a game, a moment, a stress test. This was it. They kind of failed it on offense even though

0:48.9

Jaylin Brown made a monster jumper with a minute left over Tim Hardaway Jr. to put them up by four and ended up being the biggest shot of the game.

0:57.2

2:13.7

something and once they went to review moose to kill how are you by the way

2:18.6

I'm doing great zak once they went review, it was pretty obvious there was not going to be clear and sustainable

2:26.3

evidence to overturn the call. I had no problem with the call. I, again, I wish it could have

2:30.9

been an old call. I thought the PJ Washington illegal screen and overtime could have been a no call I thought the PJ Washington

2:33.0

illegal screen and overtime should have been a no call or overtime what am I talking

2:36.8

about my mind is it's late on these go late it's just at the end of the game
