We'll continue with your Patriots calls as well, but let's just reset some Celtics thoughts before we get back to you. What's the key tonight, Maz, for the Celtics? Attack, get into the paint. Do the same thing you did in the last game. Get into the paint. Don't settle for just threes on the outside. Go into the paint and attack. If you do that, you got a shot. Yeah, and keep Marcus smart on Gorin Rogers. That obviously worked defensively for them on Saturday night to disrupt Miami's flow on the offense. So just more of what you saw Saturday night and less bitching too. How about that? Okay, so we'll see if they get pushed earlier in the ballgame. They got pushed at the very, very end on Saturday night. And it, you know, it was too little too late. I mean, it wasn't really enough to say that there for him because you only felt a little bit of tightness. Just a little, but it was there. Five points with a minute left. It really, I think they had the ball. That's as close as it got, I think. So I don't think they were really pushed on Saturday.

Let's see if they're pushed tonight, how they respond.

Because I'm not sure they're out of the woods chemistry-wise, which we'll get back to in a second.

But the two key stats I thought from that game on Saturday night was the drive, them driving, them getting into the lane and not necessarily shooting in there, although they did a lot because they scored 60 points in the paint, which is the most they've had this postseason, I think.

It's 18 points higher than their playoff average, 60 points in the paint.

But it's just the fact that they were driving, according to Chris Forsberg, NBC Sports, Boston.

In game two, they had only 42 drives in game three on Saturday night.

They had 58.

So I think that just opens everything up, even if you're still shooting threes.

If it starts in the paint and gets back out, I think you're far better off than just twirling it around the perimeter.

And they did that.

The other little nerdy stat was that the Celtics typically average

3.31 seconds per touch. I really pity the poor nerd who's got to track that stat with the

stopwatch. The 3.31 seconds per touch, that's what they average this post season, which is the

second highest total in the NBA among playoff teams.
