The stats say usually. Yes. And then sometimes, and there's sometimes, and this is probably a sometimes. It doesn't mean that the Celtics are going to win the series, but the Celtics have proven themselves at this point. They can adjust. They can find different ways to attack. They have the defensive talent. Like, these guys know how to dig deep. I think this is more of a question of attrition.

You know, teams don't repeat because... They break down because they don't have the edge of the emotional try of that first time they do it. It's hard. You know, Jason Tatum said at some point in the last couple of weeks during a presser that this season was different because, you know, he didn't feel that that edge of like not being champion anymore.

He was basking in the glow and he played great. Like Jason Tatum had a great season. He's better this year than he was last year. And in the playoffs, his defense has been great. Playmaking has been great. But this next series has just been different. And everyone's different right now. There's nobody on the Celtics team that's playing really well right now.

While at least like New York has OG and Jalen in the fourth quarter, like they have these guys. And so, you know, the Celtics, they lost these games on a steal on the last play. Like they're not far. It's one thing here or there, and this is a totally different narrative. So I expect the series to even up. At the very least, I expect the series to get to six.

And I just don't see the Celtics wilting here. There's nothing to indicate that at this point.

So one, their best, their best adjustment is Kristaps Porzingis to play well, but they can't count on that right now, apparently. And then the other thing is pick and pop. Like Mitch does not want to switch. He wants to guard at the screen level, pick and pop. And they need KP for that. Horford can do that, but Cornette doesn't shoot.

You know, maybe they need to do Tatum at the five so they can do stuff like that. Like they're going to go right. Also, don't forget, they didn't have Sam Houser in this game. He's a good three point shooter. They definitely I feel like they definitely would have gone to Houser in this game if they had it available just to get them some better shooting. Just so like.
