>> OH I LIKE FOR 2812 BOSTON LOOKING EVERY BIT THE TEAM. >> SEE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU COME ON THE PREGAME SHOW. PART OF A 25 TO NOTHING MILWAUKEE RUN. >> I KIND OF KNEW THIS WAS GOING TO HAPPEN BECAUSE WE HAVE A CHAMPIONSHIP CALIBER TEAM THAT THE GAME BEFORE

THEY HAVE AN EMBARRASSING PERFORMANCE. THEY’RE DEFINITELY GOING TO COME OUT, ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY PLAY A CONTENDER LIKE BOSTON. OH BOY, THAT WAS A SLIDE RIGHT THERE. YEAH SHAQ LIKE DUNK. >> THAT’S THE BIGGEST HALFTIME DEFICIT OF THE SEASON. DID HE EVER ADDRESS THAT 37. >> DID HE EVER ADDRESS WHY

HE DIDN’T PUT HIS STARTERS IN. AND NO I’M ASKING EARNEST I WOULD I WOULD SAY YOU’RE GETTING BLOWN OUT AND YOU’RE COMING OFF EVERYBODY PLAYING 40 MINUTES THE NIGHT BEFORE THAT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME IN THE NBA. >> OH BODY OUT AND WELL HE I HONESTLY HAD NO PROBLEM WITH

HIM DOING THAT TONIGHT. >> THEY WERE GOING TO LOSE THAT GAME. HE DID PLAY I DIDN’T KNOW IF HE DRESSED HIM BECAUSE HE’S MAD. >> NO AT THEM HE PLAYED. >> IT COULD BE HE PLAYED THE NIGHT BEFORE. WENT TO OVERTIME. AIN’T NO SENSE THEY WEREN’T GOING TO COME

BACK AND WIN THE GAME. I GOT NO PROBLEM. >> HAS THAT EVER HAPPENED IN YOUR LIFE? >> YES, OF COURSE IT HAS. >> WELL YOU DIDN’T START THE THIRD QUARTER AS A STARTER. >> WELL THEY TOOK OUT THEY GAVE UP IN A GAME. WE’VE NEVER HAPPENED. >> I’VE NEVER SEEN THAT.

>> NO, NEVER. >> HAVE YOU EVER SEEN THAT BEFORE? >> I DON’T REMEMBER, BUT I KNOW THEY WON. THE GAME IS OVER. I’VE GOTTEN TAKEN OUT OF GAME. YOU JUST SAW WHAT LEBRON AND AD KNOW. >> THEY GOT TAUGHT THE THIRD QUARTER. >> YOU JUST KNOW YOU JUST SAW IT WITH LEBRON AND

ADEBAYO TAKING OUT THE GAME. BUT IT WAS A CLOSE GAME IN THE THIRD. >> IT WAS A CLOSE GAME FOR LEBRON IN THE HISTORY OF BASKETBALL. LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING. >> GO BACK GO BACK AND LOOK AT THAT GAME. WHEN THE GAME WAS OVER HE TOOK AD AND

LEBRON OUT AND THEY DIDN’T PLAY. THEY DIDN’T PLAY ANY MORE IN THE HISTORY OF BASKETBALL. WELL I DON’T AGREE WITH THAT. >> I’VE NEVER YOU CANNOT NAME A TIME. >> I’M NOT TALKING ABOUT I’M TALKING ABOUT TONIGHT. WE JUST SAW WHAT HAPPENED TONIGHT WITH A.D. AND LEBRON. IT WAS LIKE A 12

POINT LEAD AT HALFTIME. IT GOT TO 25. THEY DIDN’T PLAY AGAIN. >> THAT’S NOT WHAT HE WAS TALKING ABOUT. HE SAID DIDN’T START THE THIRD QUARTER. >> THE GAME WAS OVER. THEY DIDN’T PLAY 40 MINUTES THE NIGHT BEFORE. >> HAVE YOU EVER SEEN IT I DON’T KNOW. THAT’S WHY I

HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH THE CELTICS TONIGHT. >> IF IT’S NEVER HAPPENED IN THE HISTORY OF BASKETBALL. WELL, WE DON’T KNOW. >> AND THREE OF US HAVE SEEN EVERYTHING. WHAT WE’VE BEEN PART OF IT. WE BEEN PART OF IT. SEEN IT, HEARD ABOUT IT. AND I’VE NEVER HAD I’VE

NEVER SEEN IT, AT ANY RATE, UNLESS THEY WERE MAD AT YOU, AT ANY RATE, MILWAUKEE WINS IT. >> 135 TO 102. AND LOOK, WE SPENT THE ENTIRE PREGAME SHOW TALKING ABOUT THE MILWAUKEE DEFENSE. UH OH. >> I’M SORRY, ERNIE, BECAUSE I DO BECAUSE PAT RILEY HAS SAID THINGS LIKE, LIKE THIS.

NO. OR PHIL JACKSON. I’M NOT CALLING TIMEOUT. Y’ALL PUT THIS LIKE I WOULDN’T ALLOW THEM TO SIT AND REST IF THEY PUT THEMSELVES IN THAT POSITION. I AGREE THAT’S THAT’S MY POINT. SO I WOULD BE LIKE, NO, YOU GOT TO DEAL WITH THAT. YOU PUT YOURSELF IN THERE. I’M NOT PUTTING

THESE GUYS OUT HERE YET TO LET THEM BE EMBARRASSED AND HAVE THEM COME OUT. NO, YOU PUT THIS EMBARRASSMENT ON THEM. THAT’S WHAT PHIL JACKSON WOULD HAVE DONE. THAT’S WHAT THAT’S WHAT PAT RILEY WOULD HAVE DONE. THAT’S WHAT RUDY TEE WOULD HAVE. AND THAT’S AND THAT’S AND THAT’S WHAT I BELIEVE WITH THAT.

>> AND HE SHOULD HAVE DONE AND I JUST I DISAGREE. THOSE GUYS PLAYED 40 MINUTES THE NIGHT BEFORE AN OVERTIME GAME. THEY WERE DOWN 30. THEY WERE DOWN 30 AT HALF TIME. AIN’T NO SENSE TO PUTTING THOSE GUYS OUT THERE OKAY. SO IT QUIETS THINGS DOWN ON THE MILWAUKEE SIDE,

AT LEAST FOR A WHILE, WHERE ALL THE TALKS BEEN ABOUT PRIDE AND EFFORT AND THAT KIND OF THING. >> I SAY THIS ALL THE TIME BECAUSE I SPEAK FROM FACT BEAT THE TEAMS YOU’RE SUPPOSED TO BEAT, STAY DOWN THERE AT HOME, PLAY HARD. YOU KNOW, THEY HAD A COUPLE

UPS AND DOWNS, BUT WE’RE STILL IN SECOND PLACE. NO TIME FOR PANIC OKAY? THEY HAD A LAPSE AND WE KNOW THAT THEY WERE GOING TO BE UP LIKE I CALLED THEM BEFORE THE GAME. LIKE THEY HAD A LAPSE. EVERYBODY’S KILLING THEM. EVERYBODY’S PANICKING FOR NO REASON. THEY’RE STILL

IN SECOND PLACE. I KNEW THEY WAS GOING TO COME OUT AND PLAY HARD. YOU KNOW CHUCK TALKING ABOUT THE CELTICS PLAYED 40 MINUTES. THAT WASN’T WHY THEY LOST. THEY LOST BECAUSE THE BUCKS SAYING, OKAY, YOU GUYS ARE DOUBTING US. DAME IS HERE DALLAS IS HERE. WE KNOW WE CAN DO. THEY’RE PLAYING AT

HOME. EVERYBODY LIKE LIKE WHEN WE WERE PLAYERS. THE WORST THING YOU CAN GET IS WAKE UP AND YOUR LOCAL PAPER AND YOUR LOCAL PAPER IS QUESTIONING YOU. SO I KNEW THEY WAS GOING TO COME OUT AND PLAY. WE STILL HAVE TIME AGAIN. MY PERSONAL FEELING I’D RATHER THEM GET BETTER

LATER BECAUSE YOU KNOW, A LOT OF TIMES YOU GET, YOU KNOW, YOU COME IN AND YOU PUT THE PERFECT TEAM TOGETHER ON PAPER AND THEY JUST START OUT HOT, SAY 80 GAME SEASON. SO LIKE, I’D RATHER THEM GO THROUGH THE UPS AND DOWNS. NOW GET MAD, GET FOCUSED A LITTLE BIT

AFTER THE ALL STAR GAME. THAT’S WHAT I’M GOING TO START JUDGING THEM. >> IT’S GOING TO BE INTERESTING WHEN YOU PUT THOSE STATS UP THERE. I TOLD YOU, I THINK THE CELTICS ARE THE BEST TEAM IN THE EAST BY FAR. I THINK I LOVE THE TRADE THAT THE KNICKS MADE.

I STILL THINK THEY NEED TO MAKE ONE MORE TO CATCH UP WITH THE CELTICS, TO ME, THE KNICKS, THE KNICKS, I THOUGHT THE KNICKS WOULD MADE A GREAT TRADE WITH OG. I THINK THEY STILL NEEDED TO MAKE ANOTHER ONE TO GET ON THE CELTICS LEVEL. TO ME,

THE WILD CARD IS GOING TO BE MY 76ERS. I THINK THAT THEY NEED TO DO SOMETHING TO GET ON BOSTON’S LEVEL BECAUSE LIKE I SAY, I THINK BOSTON’S THE BEST TEAM IN THE EAST, AND I’M NOT SURE WHO THE SECOND BEST TEAM IN THE EAST, BUT I THINK IF THE

SIXERS COULD MAKE A MOVE TO GO WITH EMBIID AND TYRESE, I THINK THEY COULD. THEY COULD MAKE SOME WAVES IN THE EASTERN CONFERENCE. >> FIRST WIRE TO WIRE LOSS OF THE SEASON FOR THE BOSTON CELTICS AND THEIR FIRST SINCE NOVEMBER OF 2021 WHEN BROOKLYN GOT HIM. THIS ONE
