Baila Brown driving.

Now it's time to talk.

Celtics.

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

985, the SportsUp.

The game on lock for sure.

Clock will hit triple zeros and a bumpy finish and some turbulence bringing the plane down but it's the fifth

straight win for the Celtics tonight a 40 point night for jaylon brown and in nine days the

Celtics have won five straight games and gone from eighth to fourth in the eastern conference

they beat the lakers tonight by a final of 121 to 113. It's hard to play with the lead,

especially if things get going in the wrong direction quickly. I think we were up 24, McElmore hit that first three. And when I saw that go in, you know, it was like, oh, come on, let's come down and score to just kind of stem the tide. And then, you know, I didn't think we had very good offensive possessions.

He hit a couple more.

Now all of a sudden they're hot, feeling great.

That happens.

And that happens in NBA games. And then, you know, I didn't think we had very good offensive possessions. He hit a couple more. Now all of a sudden they're hot, feeling great.

That happens.

And that happens in NBA games all the time.

Now, Massole Brad Stevens might have had to bring out the mass hole if they blew that one against the severely short-handed Lakers.

On the Thursday night, Celtics closed out the road trip of the 121-11-13 win over L.A. Again, without LeBron, without Anthony Davis. Sportsup Celtic Show, Jim Murray. Chris Gaspers, and you, if you would like to join us at 617-779-0-98-5. As you hear, Sean Grandi with the final call there, they've now won five in a row. A lot has changed in a week. They're now number four.

We're number four.

As of today, as they head into tonight's game against the Golden State Warriors. Yesterday, Chris, you know, we have the email chain on Felger and Maz. No actual human interaction. But, you know, we have the email to set up what we're going to talk about in the show. and Mike asked, do I have to start paying attention to the Celtics now? And I said to that, no, not yet. It's premature because this five-game winning streak in those five games that they've won, two, fake. They get asterisk. Oh, you're bringing back the asterisk? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, Chris. You are? Yep, we weren't on last week together. So that the first of the fake wins was against Minnesota, the worst team of the league, 13 wins at the time. You have to take them to overtime and ooh, yay, the 53 points by Jason Tatum. Like, that's fake. And then again, the Lakers like, come on, you're basically playing like a G-League team.

I can't take those seriously. So, yes, they've played better. Yes, it's looked better. The ball is moving. Jason Tatum had a fire lit under his ass because of a mean tweet by Kendrick Perkins. Less turnovers, which I like seeing better defense. Definitely more assists, as the assist rate is way up. So it looks like Brad Stevens type of ball, you know, like a lot of ball movement.
