I do not think, I do not think.

0:03.5

So what are you getting this? Do you even listen to yourself when you talk? Hey, hey, we're live. Woo-hoo! Turn off your radio before it's too late. Hate it, hated, hated, hated, hated it. I told you this was a bad idea. Velgar and Mass, 985, a sports hub. Do you, LeBron, kind of off that defensively.

0:21.6

For you, you said, you know, it was just your game.

0:23.9

Couldn't get into a rhythm tonight.

0:25.5

Is that what it was based on their defense or just not feeling it or what?

0:31.8

No, I was just pretty poor.

0:33.9

I mean, what do you want me say?

0:35.9

It seemed like you only answer.

0:37.0

You only ask questions when we lose. It's a weird thing with you, Kenny. Always come around when we lose, I swear. Yeah, you're okay. Touchy, touchy. Bron, is one bad night and he can't seem to handle it. So can weigh in on that, whatever you want. He's up tight. Again, right back to the phone. Spelgram-Maz here from our town for Attire Studios. Sam in New Hampshire, go ahead. I want to set a proper example for Murray on how to get out of the take, Foxhole. I was a guy who called before game seven saying I'd rather stick four to my eyes and watch a win-kordshire Shuck up another three. I was wrong. They don't win game seven without Olinic going off, nor do they win last night without contribution from both. It feels so much better to admit that and get the public flogging I deserve for that one. Sorry about that guys. Go on. No, that's true. It is. It's free your soul. Just release it and then it's over. However, if you're going to sit here and tell me that Jerebko and Olinic are valuable pieces that you got to keep and are instrument, no. They're role guys who flash one night and then not the next. And that's exactly what they are. And it should be easily replaceable. And that's not a knock on those players, but that's just what just what they are and I mean no one would say that you have to keep Jonas Jerebko because what he brought you last night you should be able to get a hundred guys like that to come and give you what they got you last night I mean it's the whole point of those guys they can't repeat it not consistently anyway right I mean they're not going to be able to repeat it. So, look, they made the

shots last time. Thank you, all the credit in the world. It doesn't mean they're building blocks.

2:04.0

Let's not get stupid. What does last night say about the value of Isaiah Thomas? I'm stunned. So many people feel like it diminishes his value. Chris and Lynn, go ahead, Chris. Hey, how's it going, guys? Good. All right, so the way I'm looking at it is Isaiah Thomas.

2:18.0

I mean, I'm happy that, yes, thank you.

2:19.6

You brought us to where we are.

2:20.9

You're worth the money offensively. But when I look at a max contract player, I'm looking at a player that's good all around. Somebody that's going to rebound, play defense and play offense. Isaiah's coming up short on the defensive aspect. And you can see that in the past two games versus Cleveland. and Everybody wanted to shift over, switch over, and then try to get that one-on-one match up with Isaiah. Game three was a lot different because he wasn't in there, unfortunately, and we had five players out there that actually played defense, even though it didn't look like in the first half. Chris, you gave up 66 points in the first half, Chris. That's why I just said in the first half, it didn't look that way. But the way I'm looking at it, as a Celtics fan, we're going to dish out all this money for a max contract player. That max money needs to go to a player that's going to be able to do everything all around basketball. Chris, just play great offense for us. But that doesn't exist.

3:08.3

There are a million.

3:09.2

I'd million. There are reams of max players in that league who only do one thing. Does James Harden play defense or rebound? No. Well, he rebounds. Does he? Yeah, he rebounds. Okay, so take that back. But he sure doesn't play defense. No. No. But again, to me, the issue with Isaiah on the defensive, I mean, largely is size-related.

3:26.8

Kyrie Irving doesn't play defense. No, no. But again, to me, the issue with Isaiah on the defensive end, largely is size-related. Kyrie Irving doesn't play great defense. Is Al Horford an all-around player? I'm sorry, he averages 13 points. What did he average in the regular season on offense? 13 points a game or something? Something like that. So that's not max money, but his max money isn't. So, like, there's only a few guys. I said there's only a handful that do it all. Yeah, look, he's a max money player.

3:44.6

That's... but he's his max money isn't so like there's only a few guys I said there's only a handful

3:41.7

that do it all yeah look he's a max money player that that's Isaiah is yes there's no two ways

3:47.4

about it he is when you score nearly 30 points a game you are does he do this on any other team

3:52.1

yes yes sure you think he does I don't think he does he's not a max money player to me that's not

3:57.3

the question the question is that's not the question.
