They were frightened. I want Mass. What is this? Listen, I'll grant your Felger's crazy.

Uh, uh, uh, up, up, here we go. Man, I got to lay off the peyote. It was horrendous.

Felger and Mass. 985, the Sports Hub. Bye!

Hi, everybody, welcome to the show, Felger and Maserati coming to you from our Star Market

Broadcast Studios here at the Garden in advance of Celtics and Bullets game five tonight it'll be here on 985 the sports up so that's where we're going to begin the program maz will be along shortly we got big jim murray in the maz chair to start the program hi murray hey i'm here because maz drives like my girlfriend apparently unbelievable we were all at the station for a station meeting.

We all left at the exact same time.

Took the exact same way. And Murray and I have been sitting here wiping down for 10 minutes of Maz isn't here yet. Well, Storo drives a lot of traffic there. Yeah, you cut it all off. Right lane, all the way down, put on the blinker, cut everyone off. I didn't even need to do that. So, one, this show drives like a broad.

I'd say it's mass.

Anyway, Celtics items. I got three for you. Number one. All right. What do you want to do in the starting lineup tonight? Because apparently Brad Stevens, as he told Beetle and Zo, last program in the midday, he's not doing anything. How do you feel about that? You know, this was the word yesterday. I was hoping that he wasn't going to stick to it. I kind of hate it, considering that Amir Johnson looks like he has two shot ankles and like that he's 100 years old. But what the hell do I know? He's the coach. If I'm in his shoes, I start Jalen Brown in his place. He gives he the esledicism. He can create. You know, certainly better than Amir Johnson, better rebounder. I was, I would hope

that he would go with the youth, or even with Kelly Alenic, but instead we get Amir Johnson. I don't

like it. Okay. I don't know if it's a huge deal. His answer, and I don't know if we have the

sound, we can play it, but his, his answer was about the key here is stopping the runs when they happen.

And he said that the runs have generally been happening end of the first quarter into the

second.

Game one, there was a 16 to nothing run to start the whole thing.

But Stephen seemed to imply that the big runs were later on in the game, and that's

what you got to account for, which I read to mean, well, I want my better players on then as opposed to starting the game. So I'm sort of saying that the starting role is not as important as who's going to be in in that second unit to be there for when the run happens. That was his answer. I would go Jalen Brown too. I would go Jalen Brown too. But we'll see. To me, that's sort of a... But the problem was with this Wizards team, when they get on a run like that,

and granted, they were able to come back in games one and two.

But when they get on a big run like that, that's how they bury you. Like, it's almost in hearing that, it's almost as Brad Stevens has accepted, this team is going to go on a run. Well, no, no, but what he's saying is, who I really want there, I want in the second in late in the first quarter and in the second quarter not to start the game.

He's not as worried about the run to start the game as he is in the flow of the game. You understand? Yeah. So what he's saying is what I really want is the player that I really want to be out there at the end of the first quarter, not the beginning of the first quarter. That's what I read into that.

Yeah, I just, I think you want, for me, I would want my best players out there to start the game. So apparently he doesn't. Because it could get squirrelly real quick in the way that the Wizards play. Apparently he doesn't. He doesn't care about having his best players out there to start. So that's question number one for the green teamers. Who do you want to start?
