Hello and welcome to the collective podcast. We talk about the NBA which we're doing at 2 a.m. on the Friday morning.

I hustle, so don't even wine. I'm not whining. I hustle. I'm not whining. Not yet, Big Man. We're getting there.

Special shout out to our producer Jackson Agella who had his wisdom teeth out today yesterday, whatever before before he's gone to sleep and is still producing this podcast.

Listen, we say on this pod, the greatest availability, our greatest ability is availability and Jackson showing up on wisdom after getting his wisdom teeth out is the highest compliment we can get.

I got to put 5 a.m. today and I'm not going to go to bed. I've got a flight in three hours. I'm not going to bed. And Bond temps woke up in New York City drove down here to Philadelphia where we are.

And McMahon insulted Bond temps on national television today. You haven't even introduced anybody yet and I got a damn theme song.

Joining us from Philadelphia is Tim Bond temps. Hello Brian.

Julius from Phoenix where he just covered the end of the sun season. Uncerimoniously for a second consecutive year is bad McMahon.

Howdy partners. By the way, we need all the wisdom we can get on this podcast. I don't know why Jackson got rid of all those teeth.

You're right. We do. McMahon is so excited. He's so fired up on temps. We know why he's fired up because he's going home. That's why I do know that.

Well, we'll talk about the sun's going home in a minute, but nobody is going home from Philadelphia today other than the Celtics to go play another game.

Very fascinating game six for this series. The Celtics are a fascinating team. Bond temps and I have covered all their playoff games last two years.

And all they do is lose home games where it looks like it looks like the sky is falling and then they find a way to win on the road. This is a third time.

In the last two years, they've won a road elimination game that teams don't win road elimination game teams don't win three road elimination games in a decade in 15 years, much less three and 12 months.

And they hold. Fill you to 85 points.

Bond temps. None of those games are even in Phoenix where you could it's easy to win road elimination games.

Apparently, you have to work for a half.

So, Bond temps, this was a strange game right out of the gate.

Joe Mizzula.

Change the starting lineup. Why don't you break down how that played out?

The boss itself takes last year went to the NBA finals, nearly won a championship based around a lot of it around starting five of Marcus Mark, Jason Tatum, Jalen Brown, Alhorferton, Robert Williams, a lineup that outscored teams by 24 points per 100 possessions.

And this season, Robert Williams misses the first couple of months with these surgery comes back.
