Al Horford, two for two and a steal.

Now it's time to talk.

Celtics.

This is the Sports Hub Celtics show with Gasper and Murray.

On 985, The SportsUp.

You know, we're not as good as advertised right now, and so at least we know that.

At least we know that one weekend.

All right.

Welcome to the first sports at Celtic show, the 2019-2020 season.

Jim Murray without Chris Gasper for the tip-off.

He will return next week.

I think we need to update that intro between now and then as well.

But that clip to begin today's show, head coach

Brad Stevens. And if you didn't hear that there, but the foreboding message were not as good

as advertised, which I will remind you, that was said by Brad Stevens on October 2nd, 2018,

after a 102.95 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers. A little more than a year ago. It's a little more than a year ago. October 2nd, 2018. Brad Stevens knew what was coming. And we all ignored it. And we should have known. We should have paid better attention the night that he said it. Gasper and I should have paid better attention and talked about it more at length. And when we had tipped off the Sports Up Celtic show by then, but we didn't.

And, you know, thinking back and looking at last year, like, we definitely ignored it

because we were either focused on that terrible first month by the Patriots, or,

and this is, I think, more likely, as it pertains to the Celtics,

like, we were just way into the local and national hype surrounding this team.

I know Chris and I were.

I know I was.
