00:00whether this is the most consequential must-win
00:03in the Tatum-Brown era for the Boston Celtics.
00:09Tonight, I would say, I don't think it's consequential
00:12in that if they lose, their best player went down
00:16and they lost the series, so let's see what happens.
00:19If they win, you're lying to yourself
00:23because you don't want to have the conversation
00:25if you don't believe that a Jalen Brown-dominant performance
00:29in this series and potentially more
00:31will change the future landscape of the Celtics roster.
00:35You're just not being honest with yourself.
00:36If Wiggy said, and he's vacillating on this a bit,
00:40but Wiggy said that you don't tell your fans
00:44that there's going to be changes about Porzingis or Holiday.
00:48That's about Tatum or Brown.
00:51And so, if you get past the Knicks,
00:54if you win three straight games without Jason Tatum
00:57and you get to the conference final,
00:58Chisholm, no matter what jersey he's wearing,
01:02is watching and is planning on getting back
01:05under that second apron,
01:06which means you could see Jalen Brown play himself
01:10into the Alpha here,
01:12or they could say, he's so great,
01:14we sell him high just like Wick sold the Celtics last year.
01:17Yeah.
01:17And that was my argument with Wiggy.
01:19Wiggy brought up, I mean,
01:20you brought up the Milwaukee win game six in 2022.
01:26Yep.
01:27And Tatum had 46 or whatever he had.
01:31And then you brought up the game seven win against Miami same season.
01:37But I think because of the repercussions
01:39and what is going to happen or not going to happen to the roster,
01:44it is the most consequential must win.
01:46I don't know.
01:46I'm kind of with Wiggy on this one because they already have it.
01:49They already have the championship.
01:50So if you want to just talk about the Jays era,
01:53like that was the most consequential.
01:55Like to get wins is the most consequential.
01:58Now that they already have a championship under their belt.
02:01But they didn't have any must wins.
02:02Like they breezed through the entire playoffs last year.
02:06Yeah, but they weren't like their necks weren't on the line.
02:09Yeah.
