1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:01,560
Speaker 1: Let's get into the Boston series.

2
00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:05,160
Speaker 2: My first question for both of you is how do

3
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:09,560
Speaker 2: you balance the joy from the fan base and from

4
00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:12,959
Speaker 2: yourselves that comes from making the conference finals for the

5
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:15,720
Speaker 2: first time in twenty five years with the notion that

6
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:18,080
Speaker 2: you're only halfway torture goal, Like, how do you how

7
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:20,040
Speaker 2: do you balance those too? Because obviously the fan base

8
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:22,920
Speaker 2: is erupting, they've been waiting for this for twenty five years,

9
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:25,400
Speaker 2: Like how do you how do you enjoy that but

10
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:26,840
Speaker 2: also stay locked in?

11
00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 3: How do we balance it? I really talk like the

12
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:35,320
Speaker 3: fans are going to be the fans, Like they can

13
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:40,600
Speaker 3: enjoy it. They can do whatever they want besides burn

14
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:44,599
Speaker 3: the city down, but they got close. Yeah, but like honestly,

15
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 3: like they're allowed to enjoy it, Like that's it's for them, right.

16
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 3: But I think as players, like we can be happy about, like,

17
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:58,320
Speaker 3: you know, getting over a hump that we didn't really

18
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:00,240
Speaker 3: get the past two years, couldn't really get to the

19
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 3: past two years.

20
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 1: And now.

21
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, that night, maybe the next day you feel good

22
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 3: about yourself, but then you gotta you gotta turn the page.

23
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 3: There's a lot more, a lot more basketball played. It's

24
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 3: just I don't I don't I can't explain it. It's

25
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 3: just like a mindset that you have to have when

26
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:21,959
Speaker 3: you're going through this because it's certainly not over, not

27
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 3: even close.

28
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:26,319
Speaker 4: Like when you start like celebrating those successes in the

29
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:28,119
Speaker 4: moment is when you start to.

30
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 1: Lose side of like the bigger goal.

31
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 4: And it's like, we want our fans that have as

32
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:43,039
Speaker 4: much fun as they possibly can. Responsible fun, you know,

33
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 4: maybe not you know, throwing trash at the poor Tyvers

34
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 4: Halliburton jersey wearing guy.

35
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 1: You know, maybe a little more respectful.

36
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 4: But yeah, we want them to have as much fun

37
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 4: as they can during this uh you know, you know,

38
00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 4: playoff run. But for us, it's just onto the next series,

39
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 4: onto the next moment. And it's I think we all

40
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 4: are doing a good job with that because we're not

41
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 4: satisfied with it, and I think it helps win. You know,

42
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 4: JB has been to a conference finals, kat Kel had

43
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 4: been Kel you know, Kel had.

44
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 1: Been to the finals.

45
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 4: Og obviously has been in the finals. So I think

46
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 4: the the mental focus is there. And obviously Tibbs, you know,

47
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 4: it was at the top of that, you know, totem

48
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 4: Pole and he, you know, make sure we're locked in.

49
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 5: I mean this The series was just it was so

50
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:35,919
Speaker 5: interesting for so many reasons.

51
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 2: But the obvious is games one and two, right, Like,

52
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 2: one twenty point comeback in the in the NBA Playoffs

53
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 2: is amazing too. Back to back from a team that

54
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:47,920
Speaker 2: swept you during during the season is crazy.

55
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 1: So what was it about?

56
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:52,079
Speaker 2: What was it about Games one and two that like

57
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 2: made you guys go down by twenty and then what

58
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 2: was it that allowed you guys to get yourselves back

59
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 2: in it?

60
00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:00,160
Speaker 1: Not once but twice?

61
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 3: Obviously Boston being Boston, the way they play and what

62
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 3: they do, and the challenge is that they create for teams.

63
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 3: They got off to a hot start and uh, we

64
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:15,359
Speaker 3: weren't ready from the jump, and then the game got

65
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 3: away from us. But I think at the same time,

66
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 3: like we were never like we were never like down,

67
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 3: we were never like damn, this is over. Like we're like, no,

68
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 3: we just gotta continue to chip away. Like I remember

69
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:30,520
Speaker 3: our days being at Nova, it was like, yeah, you

70
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 3: just gotta chip away. You're not gonna get all back,

71
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 3: get all back in one shot. You just gotta chip away,

72
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 3: chip away, just keep focusing on the little things.

73
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 1: And then.

74
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 3: All of a sudden, it's like a two per game

75
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 3: in a one person game, then we have the lead.

76
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 3: It's just like but like, no one's like the guys

77
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 3: who were like on the court, like, no one's like

78
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 3: too high on a roller coaster or too low. We're

79
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 3: all just like we're all right there. We're all at

80
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 3: a steady, even keeled mindset.

81
00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 1: And so.

82
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm just as confused as you guys sometimes, but

83
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 3: definitely happy we did it.

84
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 4: I think the funniest it was just like, obviously we

85
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 4: did it game one, and if you look at the

86
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 4: games in the regular season, obviously thought that first game

87
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 4: where they just beat the hell out of us, throw

88
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,719
Speaker 4: out that game. Every other game, you know, it was

89
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 4: like the same situation where we let them get a

90
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 4: big lead and then we cut it down to a

91
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 4: one or two possession game, and then it was a

92
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:37,479
Speaker 4: play here or play there that helped them extend their lead.

93
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 4: So you know, even in those moments, it was always like, Okay,

94
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 4: we've we've been in this situation before and we made

95
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 4: runs and we've got back into the game. But I

96
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:49,839
Speaker 4: just think like when we did that, we were even more.

97
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 4: We were just so locked in that we didn't let

98
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,559
Speaker 4: those lulls and those laps that happened in the regular

99
00:04:55,600 --> 00:05:00,120
Speaker 4: season happen, and then you know Game two. Honestly, me

100
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,159
Speaker 4: and JB talked about it after like Game two. I

101
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 4: was just at one point, I was sitting there when

102
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:08,040
Speaker 4: we were like down. I think we were like down

103
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 4: like twelve or ten, like we cut it, and I'm

104
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:14,359
Speaker 4: just like, ain't no way they let us do this again,

105
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 4: Like there's there's no way, like someone's that are like

106
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 4: one of them was gonna go off and just be like,

107
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 4: you know what, I'm gonna go out there and win it.

108
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 4: I was just like, bro, no way they let us

109
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 4: come back from twenty down twenty two games in a row,

110
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 4: like at home, and you know, needless to say, they did.

111
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:35,359
Speaker 3: Bro, I was playing terrible throughout that game Game two, Yeah,

112
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:38,159
Speaker 3: Game two, No, I'm just I'm looking for like the

113
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 3: legit box score from I got it right here. I

114
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 3: have it.

115
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 1: I have it. Yeah.

116
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 3: Game two, I was six for nineteen, two for nine

117
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 3: from three I was I was put my best Josh

118
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:53,279
Speaker 3: Hart impression, and then.

119
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 1: I was my shot nine threes. I made five, So

120
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:56,360
Speaker 1: don't put me intore.

121
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:58,679
Speaker 3: You shot three for six. Game two, I shot nine threes.

122
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 4: No, No, I'm saying, I know, but when I've only

123
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 4: shot nine threes once in the playoffs and I made five, so.

124
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 1: You would you would. I don't know who you was being.

125
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 1: You wasn't being me. Who are you being then? I

126
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 1: don't know, out of body experience.

127
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:19,279
Speaker 3: But yeah, bro, I just the fact that we just

128
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:20,840
Speaker 3: kept it close and then we found a way to win.

129
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 3: And yeah, that and that play that play with from

130
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,919
Speaker 3: Mitch switching on the tatum the second time, because the

131
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:31,840
Speaker 3: first time, I remember like Tynan came down full speed

132
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:35,480
Speaker 3: and then just split the picker roll and dunked it.

133
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:36,839
Speaker 3: And the second time they were kind of they didn't

134
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 3: run a time out, and so they run the same

135
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 3: play and Mitch switches, keeps them in front and then

136
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 3: like force them to get to the corner and then

137
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 3: obviously O G and Mcheale kind of like funnel them

138
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 3: in and then they get the block or steel. But

139
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:52,480
Speaker 3: like the way Mitch kind of recovered that second time

140
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 3: when they run the same play, the same play, and

141
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:55,279
Speaker 3: that's a big time.

142
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 1: And I think it's for us. It was like, you know,

143
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 1: both games, it was all is.

144
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 4: Like okay, like just get it to like ten to

145
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:05,599
Speaker 4: start the fourth like just cut it down to like

146
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 4: ten to start the fourth. You cut it down to

147
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 4: ten to start the fourth, like it's a totally different game.

148
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 4: And then our confidence in the fourth is you know,

149
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,559
Speaker 4: extremely high because we got obviously like you know, JB

150
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 4: can take the you know, take over in the fourth offensively,

151
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 4: Kat can do the same.

152
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 1: Kel has done it a couple of games.

153
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 4: But then we have the ability to get stops like

154
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 4: big soops like Kel have done it, you know all

155
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 4: year OG Obviously, then you come in with Mitch, you know,

156
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 4: do so like we we always have that confidence, especially

157
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 4: down you know late in the game. Uh you know,

158
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:41,680
