You know he can't read. Oh, damn. Reading is Man the Celtics I don't take important I don't think they're real They got to the finals Two losses 14 games It's two too many Not impressive Not impressive Not impressive they should have just went 12 and 0, like a real team.

0:39.0

They didn't win one game by 55. I've seen that on YouTube and I was watching us.

0:45.2

I was looking at the comments. Boston fans was upset with D.M.M. And everybody else was

0:50.5

upset with us. I think that's what makes a good debate. If half of the people are saying that they side with one side, the other half of people said they side with the other side, and it's like 3% of people that sat with Mike, which means that they didn't really give a damn either way, because Mike was kind of just chilling.

2:22.3

So I'm only speaking on people that's in the media because it's kind of just like, fans going to say whatever. You know what I mean? That's what they're supposed to do. But the media, our job is to take all the information that's in front of us and use it to kind of make proclamations and different things like that. And it's just like, man, when you've got to the finals, 12 to 2 run,
