Sorry John, thank you, don't need it

Felger in Mass 985, the hub. Washington scores the final six points here to make it a nine-point game. Eight seconds to go. Jaylon Brown, trying to finish it with a three. No good. Rebound belongs to Bradley Beal. And he will flex hard, but it was Montres Harrell, Colwell Pope and did win.

He carried the Wizards tonight here on the road. Celtics dropped to O and 2 at home, beaten by the

Wizards 116, 107.

We had a day off yesterday, so we had a chance to rejuvenate, but for whatever reason, they

were lacking in intensity and focus this morning. I told them they're going to get your ass kick tonight. You come with that focus in the game, and for three think this is still the lead story for us and everybody

else.

Yes, Murray?

Yeah, and it's got me thinking, too.

So while we like this that Udoka, you know, now twice in five games, has had to call out this team?

Is this the best approach? Like, it's good for us, and we know that there's a problem. We can know there's a problem watching them and their lack of effort in their two home games. Could this potentially alienate them further? Like, I'd like to think that behind the scenes, yeah, he's ripping him a new one. He's got to be, right? I mean, this is just an extension of it. But going to the media, and we know that they're very sensitive, these players and how they've shut it down before, I wonder if this is the right approach. It's good for us. It's great content. But again, five games in, he called them punks after the first home game. and you get this kind of response on the floor last night in their second home game. I wonder if this is almost counterproductive. What do you think, Mass? Too heavy a hand? I mean, look, again, it's hard to know without knowing what's going on behind the scenes. Okay, if he's being soft on him behind the scenes and then hard on them publicly, I would say, well, then it's on him. So like, but, but with this group, do I rule out alienating them? No, but in the same breath, I would say this if I were him. If you're going to play like this, what difference does it make? Like, they brought me in to wake you up and you're asleep. So what the hell are we doing here? Fire my ass after two weeks and that's it. It's over. I have no issue with him doing it the way he's doing it. Okay. The reason I think this is a big story is because I think the potential of the team is so high. And Brown and Tatum and those guys really could be the guys. We spent yesterday talking about, do you still want Bradley Beal?

Do you even want a third piece?

And I'm sort of of the mind that no and no.

And when I say third piece, I mean third, you know, score, all NBA kind of guy.

No.

I think the path for the Celtics is these two and hope they stay here long enough to reach their championship maturation date.
