Look, you could just look from our seats right here watching this game, and that was a different
feel on that Boston side.
The intensity level was up.
There were smiles on that side.
There was a vibe on that side we haven't seen in this series yet.
Yeah, I agree 100%.
But also, I'm not one to microwave every game and say, oh, they're back, or Miami is there.
I agree with you on that.
But that was a better sign tonight for Boston.
Because I think the one thing that, at the beginning of the show you asked me, I said,
I just have a belief in Brown and Tatum, that they're not going to just fold over and get
swept because they are the winningest duo in the last five to six years in basketball.
So they're going to get that.
To me, I think this was an easier game than Game 5, because of Game 5.
And this is my reasoning.
When you go back home now, you're not going home to chastation.
You're not being chastised.
You're getting pat on the back.
And so now you can feel like, oh, well, we didn't get swept.
All right.
And then all of a sudden you can relax and not feel the urgency that your season is over
if you lose again.
So they have to get rid of that feeling, stay out of the places to get pat on the back,
to realize your season's over, though, if you lose next game.
And I disagree with that.
I think Game 5 is going to be a cakewalk for the Celtics.
I think they're going to have so much energy, because not getting swept is not a cunt.
They don't get a cookie.
But now they're going to go back home.
That place is going to be loud and incredible.
I think they're going to kill Miami next game, and they're going to come back down here.
And I'm going to tell you something else.
Game 6 in Miami is going to be Game 7 for Miami.
I said the same thing.
Wait, didn't you just say, Charlie, we're coming to see you?
I was going to.
Oh, Henry.
Little Henry, we're coming to see you.
I thought I was.
The Celtics, hey, listen, give them credit.
Jason Tatum stepped up.
You know, Shaq been saying, yo, man, when you're the star, you got to step up.
Jason Tatum, first of all, he went four games in before he scored a basket in the fourth quarter.
That can't happen to a superstar in any playoff series.
But I'm telling you, they got no chance.
He said it's a cakewalk.
I said it's a cakewalk.
It's a cakewalk?
Yes.
Okay, remember he said that.
I'm going to remember I said that.
When I call my bookie, I'm going to say, whatever I can bet, give it to me, buddy.
But you said it was a cakewalk before the series started.
No, no, no.
And then they dropped the first two at home.
Yeah, but I didn't think the Celtics was going to play like dogs for three games.
Well, listen, Ernie.
No, no, no.
If you knew that, you wouldn't have made that prediction.
No, no.
But I'm telling you, though, when you pick a series, you assume a team's going to play
good.
I didn't realize it was going to take the Celtics four games to play.
Now, that was the Celtics team we'd seen pretty much all year.
I have zero idea what happened to them in game one, two, and three, especially game
three.
The Celtics played well.
However, Miami is saying 16 turnovers, not us.
Eight from 32 from three, not us.
Miami is going to be ready, going to be focused.
Celtics going to have to continue to play away.
And Tatum and Browns are going to have to step up.
I know they're home and all that, but little Adia, she's a little up and down.
If he plays like he played tonight, then she'll be fine.
You got to ride this emotion off this game tonight, if you're the Celtics.
I mean, they played.
Browns got to pick it up.
Yes, they do.
I mean, Tatum played great tonight, but Brown, to me, the guy got to pick it up.
It can't be, the night was a one-punch, it's got to be a one-two punch.
Miami's not going to go eight for 32.
I know they-
They're not going to go eight for 32.
They're not.
I agree with Shaq on this point, because the same way it's a human nature of like going
and being the same thing that Miami had.
They're out here practicing for the trophy presentation before the game.
They have a whole ceremony.
They bring people in to give out the Eastern Conference Championship trophy.
You're aware of all of this going on.
Yes, you are.
And you can relax.
Both antennas will be up in game five.
If these teams both play good, the Celtics have more talent.
