Baila Brown driving. Now it's time to talk, Celtics. Deltics. This is the Sports Hub Celtics show with Gasper and Murray. 985, the Sports Hub. It's a game on lock for sure. Jalen Brown will guard the inbound of O.G. Ananobe, who's in the spot Kyle Lowry would be in when he won the game. They throw to the far corner again. See Ackham catches. They gotta go quick. See, Akum launches the three. It's in the spot Kyle Lowry would be in when he won the game they throw to the far corner again

see aukham catches they got to go quick see aacham launches the three it's in the air no good rebound

hit it out of bounds andanoby saves it back into abaca he misses at the buzzer and it's over

the Boston Celtics going to the final seconds of the final game of the seven-game series

we all hoped it would be and not only survived the Toronto Raptors,

they have taken the title belt off them and advanced,

taking their talents to virtual South Beach.

We should definitely be hardened.

We should definitely have a lot more in our toolbox to go back to,

but we also have to get ready for a different, more unique team now in Miami.

And you want to join us, 617-779-0 0985. Obviously, a lot to unpack from last night's Celtics 9287 win over the Raptors. They escape win game seven. The fact that they shoot 13 for 23 from the free throw line. They were hitting bricks all night in regard to three points shots. I don't think it was that great, especially early for guys like Jason Tatum. Jalen Brown, rather, it was a good night for Jason Tatum, a really great night for Marcus Smart's why they win that game. But you just look at the stat sheet and it's like, if you didn't watch this thing last night, it's like, how hell did you end up winning this game? But it was great. It was the plays like Marcus Martin, the block uh at the end of the game the defense overall tatum uh who i thought was excellent you make a good point because i was down on brown but you know when he did try to convert in his game and start shooting twos rather than threes he ended up having a pretty decent night he switched up his game and he and tate him combined for 50 points celtics get out of it. And I like what Brad Stevens said there in that clip after the game, Chris, and that it's like, well, we should be hardened now. So can you make a case that they are better off that it went this far, even though it shouldn't have? You know, they had that screwy last second loss in game three. They're the no show a week ago tonight in game four. Win game five, the double overtime lost game six, which they let get away from them.

But that it went this far, that it played out this way.

Can you make a case that they are hardened?

They're better off at this thing with this far.

And now they should probably come out of the east as well.

Because I do think that they are more talented to the heat.

Yeah, I think you can make that case. And I think it was Jason Tatum who said this. I'm not sure. But somebody with the Celtics mentioned that it's not the playoffs unless you overcome adversity. They had to overcome adversity in this series. And I think this series ultimately ended up working out better for them in a lot of

ways than if they had just swept Toronto. I think they're more battle tested, battle-hardened.

I think this was an important victory in terms of their overall maturation process to be the

team that honestly we expected them to be when LeBron James left the Eastern Conference and last
