00:00 give Joe his flowers a little
00:05 bit- for- the some coaching
00:07 adjustments there- like you
00:09 said the zone I thought was
00:11 actually- kind of necessary
00:13 when he went to it- at the time
00:15 I and it really did throw
00:16 Indiana off a little bit
00:17 because they were they were
00:18 rolling some. But- yeah you
00:21 know it Tatum. It's one of
00:23 those games where he did so
00:24 many good things. In the then
00:27 he just did a couple things
00:28 that he did. And I think that's
00:30 just. That's a study was it's
00:32 for some. For some people but
00:34 the reality is. I mean. When he
00:36 went off the floor they really
00:38 really really struggled they
00:39 needed him out there- it and
00:41 then you know it's- up.
00:44 Everything's punctuated by
00:45 those couple of buckets that he
00:46 makes late when they needed at
00:47 the end one and then that big
00:49 open three. Because before that
00:50 he had a couple of big threes
00:51 that you know. One in
00:53 regulation one in overtime.
00:54 Wide open they could have
00:55 changed the game. Didn't hit
00:57 the ball. And some stuff but
00:59 again every time he left. I
01:01 forget what they were the plus
01:02 minus numbers. I think in the
01:04 seven minutes he's off the
01:05 floor they were minus fifteen
01:06 and the minutes he was on your
01:07 plus sixteen. Heading into the
01:09 fourth quarter so. They they
01:11 needed him out there he did
01:13 play in all around good game
01:15 despite. Just there's so many
01:17 boneheaded moments that's so
01:19 many people. Did that like you
01:22 responded to emotionally but
01:23 when you step back and you take
01:25 a global look at the game I
01:26 think. You know. You know.
01:28 They're going to take them at a
01:29 really solid game. The point
01:31 that Joe made a glad Jimmy
01:33 shark. I was gonna say it was
01:35 the timing of some of those you
01:36 know bad. Plays are missed
01:38 shots in the fourth quarter
01:39 that. That's why it's stuck up.
01:41 Because everyone's antennas go
01:42 up. When you get to a crunch
01:44 time. Situation because we've
01:46 all been looking for right how
01:47 are they gonna execute. In
01:49 these close games. And this was
01:51 one of them and you know I'm
01:52 sure everybody. Who's watching
01:53 homes and I here we go so it's
01:54 a one possession game and- how
01:56 are they going to react. Turned
01:58 out that they ended up. Again
02:00 goes back to did the did the
02:02 Pacers lose it or the Celtics
02:03 when I think it's both I mean
02:05 if you're the Pacers. You just
02:06 simply cannot turn the ball over
02:08 off that inbounds. The way they
02:10 did up three with what was it
02:11 ten seconds of that's just
02:13 unacceptable. But on the other
02:14 hand. Credit Jalen Brown for
02:15 getting a hand in there right
02:16 so- and obviously in that shot.
02:19 To tie things. When it comes to
02:21 Tatum. You want him to go into
02:23 superstar mode in those
02:24 situations and when he doesn't.
02:26 It's gonna exponentiate your
02:27 criticism in that time so.
02:29 Jason Tatum should be buying
02:31 Jalen Brown dinner tonight
02:32 because Jalen Brown allowed.
02:34 Tatum. To turn things around
02:37 turn the whole narrative around
02:38 for his game tonight because
02:39 yes Tatum did come alive that
02:40 overtime again when you want
02:42 your- when you want your-
02:44 superstars to elevate to the
02:46 next level. Tatum gets that and
02:47 one hits the free throw. You
02:49 gotta give credit for going on
02:50 a line to- you know he's been
02:52 pretty good for the free throw
02:53 line. In these playoffs. And
02:56 then in that three so- that's
02:58 when these guys you know really
03:00 step things up. I thought the
03:02 point that that Joe made about
03:04 how his guys. Kept their poise
03:07 obviously that poise was in
03:09 there all game or what it was
03:11 there when it absolutely had to
03:13 be there in that overtime
03:14 session. Jalen Brown gave them
03:16 a second life on a game in a
03:18 game that they had been in
03:19 basically killed themselves.
03:22 Away from the fact that he made
03:24 the forty forced to turn over
03:25 the fact that he didn't turn
03:26 around and hit. An incredibly
03:28 tough three point shot Pascal
03:30 Sikand could not have defended
03:32 that shot any better. That
03:34 Jalen hit the force overtime.
03:36 What? Sherrod I have to
03:38 disagree. I have to disagree.
03:40 Jimmy how could you can't
03:41 possibly be any closer than that.
03:43 His arms were behind his back.
03:45 His arms were behind his back
03:46 Sherrod. Jimmy if his arms were
03:48 behind his back they would have
03:50 called a foul on him Jimmy.
03:52 Hand down. Man down. Jimmy.
03:55 That's what I have to say.
03:56 You know damn well. You can have
03:57 your arms up there. This is one
03:59 oh one. No Jimmy in that
04:01 situation in a corner three no
04:03 Jimmy no. You have to. He got
04:05 too close to the sun. Jimmy he
04:07 would have fouled Jalen and you
04:08 know he would have. He knows he
04:10 would have. That's why he did
04:11 it. Exactly he would have fouled
04:12 him. Yeah he got too close. He
04:15 got too close to his space and
04:16 actually he was in play. He
04:17 defended him as well as he can
04:18 defend him without fouling him.
04:20 He defended him as well as you
04:22 can defend a guy in that
04:23 situation without fouling him.
04:24 If it was you he would have
04:25 fouled him and then Jalen would
04:26 have went to the line and
04:27 probably would have made two out
04:28 of three and the Celtics would
04:29 have lost. You're right. You
04:31 would have fouled him and Jalen
04:32 would have made two out of three
04:33 free throws and the Celtics
04:34 would have lost. I give him
04:35 credit for not fouling him but
04:38 guess what Jalen Brown had the
04:39 shot so maybe you should have
04:41 fouled him instead if that's
04:42 really the case because I think
04:43 you got to put your hands up in
04:44 that situation. You know who
04:45 is great. Guys you know we can
04:47 argue about this all game. We
04:48 know we don't know what you're
04:49 saying. How good Drew Holliday
04:51 was. Testing my skills on price
04:54 picks this season is the most
04:56 exciting way to play daily
04:58 fantasy sports. If you have the
05:00 skills you can turn ten dollars
05:02 into a thousand dollars with
05:04 just a few taps. Use the code
05:06 CLNS for the first deposit match
05:08 up to one hundred dollars. Pick
05:10 more pick less. It's that easy.
05:13 Drew Holliday. I mean pinch me.
05:17 I think we said during the last
05:19 series he might have had one of
05:20 his better games. I think this
05:22 I mean this was like far and
05:24 away his best game as a Celtic
05:26 by like a million miles. And
05:28 it's funny. It's like you know
05:32 we all say a lot of things. A
05:34 lot of people say a lot of
05:35 things. A lot of people said a
05:36 lot of things about Drew
05:37 Holliday. You think he's
05:39 going to be a better player.
05:40 I think he's going to be a
