Celtics series, same thing. This is why Brian Windhorst screamed on television, which Brian never does, about like, hey, you have shown us you can actually do this when you care. And yet again, here we are. We're four games into this series, and he's just helpless defensively. Off the ball, too. Like his little lunges, like gambling, not even gambling, just sort of like,

lurching around aimlessly out of the play. It's like, look, the trade is, is not, I've said before, like I wouldn't have done a trade. Almost no one in the NBA would have done this specific trade.
