Boston wins it. And it wasn't as close as the score would indicate, folks. It got to within four at one point, but you never really felt Tim that Boston was quote unquote in trouble per se.

Well, the response came after the big mix run when Joe Missoula got into his team for some defensive lackadaisical effort in transition,

and they responded.

Let's talk about it. Jesse M. with our first super chat of the evening.

Kat, legitimately the worst defensive player I've ever seen in 20 plus years of basketball.

He makes easy defensive rotations look difficult, embarrassing.

Well, Jesse, I don't want to call you out, but if this is the worst defensive player, you see you in 20 years.

I'm not sure that you're watching a lot of next games over those 20 years.

He can make you feel like you're watching the worst defensive player in the history of basketball.

So I'm not going to get on you at all.

The frustration level that I have with him and his defense gets so much higher because you

see him during certain stretches like the third quarter where it's just that extra, whatever,

it's an extra level of engagement where it's like he turns, it's like you turn, you know,

you're, it's like you turn it on a grill.

You're trying to turn on a grill and it's not catching.

And then all you do is smug ass.

And then, oh, it catches.

Oh, there's a fire.

Now, is Katz fire as big as many others?

No, it's not.

But we've seen him catch fire.

I use the term very loosely because I'm talking about defense here.
