WEBVTT - Boston Celtics Claw Back Into Their Series Against Miami

0:00:09.360 --> 0:00:15.840
<v Speaker 1>Well, damn, oh damn, that was ugly, folks, Yes, sir,

0:00:15.960 --> 0:00:20.120
<v Speaker 1>it was. The Boston Celtics put down a drumming, a drubbing.

0:00:20.280 --> 0:00:24.239
<v Speaker 1>I say on the Miami Heat comprehensive beat down one

0:00:24.360 --> 0:00:27.840
<v Speaker 1>ten ninety seven at t D Garden to climb back

0:00:27.960 --> 0:00:31.400
<v Speaker 1>into the series. Folks, Boston is now down only three

0:00:31.400 --> 0:00:34.320
<v Speaker 1>to two as we head back to Amba Nito Amniamni.

0:00:34.720 --> 0:00:38.520
<v Speaker 1>The Celtics came out the blocks and they just really

0:00:38.560 --> 0:00:40.960
<v Speaker 1>never slowed down, did they. You know what was crazy

0:00:41.000 --> 0:00:43.280
<v Speaker 1>to me as a quick aside is Joe Miszoula sure

0:00:43.360 --> 0:00:45.360
<v Speaker 1>got good at calling time outs when the run came,

0:00:45.400 --> 0:00:47.280
<v Speaker 1>didn't he all of a sudden he knows how to

0:00:47.280 --> 0:00:49.920
<v Speaker 1>call him. They went up fifteen to five. Miami never

0:00:49.920 --> 0:00:53.880
<v Speaker 1>got closer the entire game. The lead fluctuated between eighteen

0:00:53.920 --> 0:00:55.840
<v Speaker 1>and twenty four. But I tell you what, it got

0:00:55.840 --> 0:00:59.040
<v Speaker 1>down to twelve fifteen, and all of a sudden it

0:00:59.120 --> 0:01:02.800
<v Speaker 1>was boom, quick whistle time for a time out. Most

0:01:02.800 --> 0:01:06.000
<v Speaker 1>of the damage was done by mister my name's Kodok Black,

0:01:06.000 --> 0:01:09.039
<v Speaker 1>But when you see me, I'm Derek White. Six threes

0:01:09.080 --> 0:01:11.479
<v Speaker 1>for the first time in his playoff career. This team

0:01:11.520 --> 0:01:14.759
<v Speaker 1>shot over forty percent from three again, and when they

0:01:14.800 --> 0:01:19.120
<v Speaker 1>do that, they're nearly unbeatable folks thirty eight and two

0:01:19.160 --> 0:01:22.039
<v Speaker 1>when they shoot forty percent or better from three. The

0:01:22.120 --> 0:01:26.319
<v Speaker 1>Celtics they only got fifteen bench points. But the starters,

0:01:26.360 --> 0:01:29.600
<v Speaker 1>when they're cooking, they don't need any damn rotation. The

0:01:29.640 --> 0:01:35.080
<v Speaker 1>starters outscored the Heat starters ninety five till forty eight.

0:01:35.400 --> 0:01:38.000
<v Speaker 1>How bad was it? Well, it was so bad that

0:01:38.120 --> 0:01:40.280
<v Speaker 1>Jimmy and Bam sat for the entire fourth quarter, and

0:01:40.319 --> 0:01:42.800
<v Speaker 1>Jimmy Butler didn't get his fucking eight rebounds to help

0:01:42.800 --> 0:01:44.800
<v Speaker 1>me with my one game parlay. But you know what,

0:01:44.840 --> 0:01:47.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm not complaining. We still got NBA basketball in the

0:01:47.560 --> 0:01:51.160
<v Speaker 1>playoffs to go. The Heat hampered from the start because

0:01:51.160 --> 0:01:53.640
<v Speaker 1>our man gave Vincent twisted his little ankle and was

0:01:53.680 --> 0:01:57.080
<v Speaker 1>out for the entire game. Kevin Love still hobbled, Kyle

0:01:57.120 --> 0:02:00.880
<v Speaker 1>Lowry still fat, unplayably bad. By the the first quarter,

0:02:01.400 --> 0:02:04.160
<v Speaker 1>it was nine night sleep mask for the Heat. We

0:02:04.240 --> 0:02:07.640
<v Speaker 1>had some guy named what is his name? Hunter high Smith.

0:02:07.920 --> 0:02:10.680
<v Speaker 1>He's some undrafted guy that I had never heard of.

0:02:10.800 --> 0:02:16.080
<v Speaker 1>Let's find out his name, Miami Haywood heigh Smith. What

0:02:16.160 --> 0:02:18.280
<v Speaker 1>a fake ass name that is? He came off the

0:02:18.320 --> 0:02:21.280
<v Speaker 1>G League or something. He's like a two K creative player.

0:02:21.880 --> 0:02:26.280
<v Speaker 1>Lowry was replaced in the lineup by him Heywood high Smith,

0:02:26.480 --> 0:02:29.440
<v Speaker 1>former D two player of the Year, yet another undrafted

0:02:29.520 --> 0:02:33.520
<v Speaker 1>gem for the Miami Heat front office. Thirty five minutes,

0:02:33.639 --> 0:02:36.520
<v Speaker 1>three for four from three fifteen points, one of the

0:02:36.520 --> 0:02:39.000
<v Speaker 1>bright spots with a plus minus over zero with a

0:02:39.040 --> 0:02:42.720
<v Speaker 1>plus two. He was so much better than Lowry. Look

0:02:42.760 --> 0:02:45.120
<v Speaker 1>for him to play a lot more in Game six,

0:02:45.280 --> 0:02:48.800
<v Speaker 1>quick pivot. Here's a little trivia question for you. Do

0:02:48.840 --> 0:02:51.760
<v Speaker 1>you know the name of the general manager of the

0:02:51.800 --> 0:02:55.400
<v Speaker 1>Miami Heat. If you don't know, join the club. He

0:02:55.480 --> 0:02:57.519
<v Speaker 1>might be the most important person in the NBA you've

0:02:57.560 --> 0:03:00.960
<v Speaker 1>never heard of. And his name is Andy Ellisburg. He

0:03:01.040 --> 0:03:03.720
<v Speaker 1>is responsible for all of these undrafted free agents, along

0:03:03.760 --> 0:03:06.600
<v Speaker 1>with of course pat Riley, because he's important. That's why

0:03:06.680 --> 0:03:09.840
<v Speaker 1>you don't know Andy Ellisburg is because pat Riley dominates everything.

0:03:10.680 --> 0:03:14.119
<v Speaker 1>He started as a public relations intern in nineteen eighty eight,

0:03:14.960 --> 0:03:19.160
<v Speaker 1>basically has held every front office job since. He's like

0:03:19.200 --> 0:03:22.520
<v Speaker 1>a part of the Eric Spolster Ilk came from the bottom,

0:03:22.720 --> 0:03:25.720
<v Speaker 1>started from the bottom. Now, yeah, it's a musical night.

0:03:26.000 --> 0:03:30.520
<v Speaker 1>He's been GM since twenty thirteen, and Riley repeatedly calls

0:03:30.600 --> 0:03:33.320
<v Speaker 1>him the best in the business. Back to the game,

0:03:33.760 --> 0:03:37.160
<v Speaker 1>it was ugly from start to finish, and when Boston

0:03:37.240 --> 0:03:40.160
<v Speaker 1>hit third threes, they are hard to beat. Four of

0:03:40.160 --> 0:03:43.080
<v Speaker 1>the five starters for Boston had twenty plus points, and

0:03:43.120 --> 0:03:45.240
<v Speaker 1>when that happens, there's no way that they can lose.

0:03:45.320 --> 0:03:48.720
<v Speaker 1>Here's the deal about Boston. I think they make this

0:03:48.800 --> 0:03:50.880
<v Speaker 1>shit harder than it needs to be. When they play

0:03:50.920 --> 0:03:53.840
<v Speaker 1>good basketball, they pass the fucking rock. They don't play

0:03:53.880 --> 0:03:56.840
<v Speaker 1>Iso rock, they don't play io ball. They pass around,

0:03:57.160 --> 0:04:00.720
<v Speaker 1>they pass up good shots for great shots, and they

0:04:00.760 --> 0:04:03.920
<v Speaker 1>continuously do that with stifling defense. It's really hard to

0:04:03.960 --> 0:04:06.800
<v Speaker 1>beat them. That's really the case. They just don't like

0:04:06.880 --> 0:04:09.080
<v Speaker 1>playing that way because they are a bunch of ego maniacs.

0:04:09.800 --> 0:04:12.080
<v Speaker 1>So if you're Miami, you're not feeling good because it

0:04:12.120 --> 0:04:14.440
<v Speaker 1>feels like something is clicking. They head back to a

0:04:14.520 --> 0:04:17.680
<v Speaker 1>critical game six Saturday night, and damn are we in

0:04:17.720 --> 0:04:20.360
<v Speaker 1>for a wild ride. Boston has taken four or five

0:04:20.440 --> 0:04:22.640
<v Speaker 1>in Miami, and now there is only way that the

0:04:22.720 --> 0:04:25.400
<v Speaker 1>series does not go to the distance. The heat need

0:04:25.760 --> 0:04:29.920
<v Speaker 1>bucks Game five, Jimmy Butler, that's the only way that's

0:04:29.960 --> 0:04:32.400
<v Speaker 1>the only way that this thing ends. They can't have

0:04:32.480 --> 0:04:35.080
<v Speaker 1>Butler putting up fourteen points and sitting for the entire

0:04:35.120 --> 0:04:37.480
<v Speaker 1>fourth quarter. That's just not the way that it goes.

0:04:37.839 --> 0:04:40.719
<v Speaker 1>If you don't believe me that that game five, Jimmy

0:04:40.760 --> 0:04:43.599
<v Speaker 1>Butler from the Bucks series is the most important player

0:04:43.600 --> 0:04:46.600
<v Speaker 1>that needs to show up. Take Drew Holiday's word for it.

0:04:47.000 --> 0:04:49.480
<v Speaker 1>You know, Drew just probably one of the best lockdown

0:04:49.480 --> 0:04:52.200
<v Speaker 1>defenders in the league. That's just what he is, especially

0:04:52.360 --> 0:04:55.920
<v Speaker 1>on ball. Drew said this about Jimmy Buckets. I play

0:04:56.040 --> 0:04:59.640
<v Speaker 1>defense to go against the best players, no matter what

0:04:59.680 --> 0:05:03.919
<v Speaker 1>position or however it may be. While I was in it,

0:05:04.040 --> 0:05:07.240
<v Speaker 1>I was hot. I was getting my ass busted, and

0:05:07.279 --> 0:05:10.440
<v Speaker 1>then Butler started talking shit in the last game. And

0:05:10.480 --> 0:05:14.560
<v Speaker 1>that's what competitors do. Jimmy ultimate competitor. But you hate losing.

0:05:14.760 --> 0:05:17.040
<v Speaker 1>I hate losing a lot of players Jimmy Butler made.

0:05:17.080 --> 0:05:20.039
<v Speaker 1>There was really nothing I could do. There's nothing that

0:05:20.160 --> 0:05:22.320
<v Speaker 1>anybody could do. It didn't matter if it was Brooke

0:05:22.360 --> 0:05:24.640
<v Speaker 1>on him, if it was Lebron James on him, Michael

0:05:24.720 --> 0:05:27.320
<v Speaker 1>Jordan on him, it didn't matter. Jimmy was playing at

0:05:27.320 --> 0:05:30.000
<v Speaker 1>a different level. If the heat don't get that Jimmy

0:05:30.000 --> 0:05:32.120
<v Speaker 1>to show up in Game six. We are heading back

0:05:32.160 --> 0:05:35.440
<v Speaker 1>to the Garden for Game seven, and possibly we're going

0:05:35.480 --> 0:05:39.640
<v Speaker 1>to see the greatest comeback in NBA history. We're going

0:05:39.640 --> 0:05:42.200
<v Speaker 1>to see something that's never been done before. And boy,

0:05:42.240 --> 0:05:44.720
<v Speaker 1>oh boy, does that mean Joe Missoula might end up

0:05:44.760 --> 0:05:48.039
<v Speaker 1>saving his job, saving his reputation, and getting me to

0:05:48.160 --> 0:05:51.400
<v Speaker 1>issue a public apology Because the Heat letting the Celtics

0:05:51.440 --> 0:05:55.039
<v Speaker 1>back into the series would be elite for business for

0:05:55.080 --> 0:05:56.720
<v Speaker 1>the Heat check. That means I would be going to

0:05:56.800 --> 0:05:58.480
<v Speaker 1>Game three and four, so I don't hate it.
