out they're gonna have to trade austin reeves if they want the level of guys around luca that they need because right now if you're an opponent and you're coming down the court and you see austin reeves on one side and luca on the other it's like turns files so like you get to choose which one you go through because they don't defend at the level that you need defenders to be elite in the league right now

Like the Celtics, even when they were down 2-0, it weirdly felt like they were fine. And, you know, New York didn't beat them all season. The Celtics were historically fluky and sort of missing so many three-point shots. And by the way, we give the Knicks defense credit because Mikkel Bridges, Josh Hart, there's just so many guys who really stepped up in those two games.

But the Celtics are the Celtics. I mean, they just have all the pieces back that won that title last year. I think it'd be so fun as someone who lived in New York for 20 years. I think it would be so fun to see the garden rocking through conference finals, maybe even an NBA finals. The outs are not with them right now, even though they're up to one. But, you know, who knows?

Yeah, I mean, remember, the Pacers had a lot of injuries in that series, so it's not even really fair to think back on that. I love this Pacers team. You know, it's funny. When Tyrese Halliburton was named the most overrated player as voted by the players in the NBA, did you guys talk about that?

Okay, so here's what's funny about that poll. The Athletic, which did the poll, to its credit, listed how many guys answered each question. There's about 450 guys in the NBA. Only 90 of them answered the question of who is the most overrated. So less than a quarter of the guys in the league even answered the question.

And then if you go with the percentage that voted for Halliburton and you do the math, first of all, it's weirdly like 12 and a half guys. I don't know how a half a person player votes, but let's say it's 13. 13 guys. There's 13 guys. in this league who think Tyrese Halliburton is overrated. That's it. That's all.
