Playoff season.

No days off.

No mornings off.

But it is on the list.

It's the first half of a biopic.

I wasn't surprised at all, to be perfectly honest.

I felt like when you get out of a seven-game series where you come out of a 3-1 deficit, I have a saying, you're still wearing the perfume of the Boston Celtics.

You're nowhere near the emotional or physical capacity to deal with the next series in 48 hours.

So the blogging game one wasn't very surprising to me.

Game two, no Joel Embiid meant that Dan, they could not afford to play a slow game.

And then we kind of forgot that Paul George, for all the things that he's not, he's still an incredibly skilled player who can carry you for stretches.

I'm actually more or less surprised that Philadelphia did not win the game last night because of how they came out.

They just ran out of gas in the last six, five or six minutes.

They had nothing left in the tank because of the physicality and the speed of the game.

And now you wonder if this is a formula that they can replicate for game three just being back home.

That's impossible because, Dan, you know it from being around these players, the series don't get easier as they go along.

They don't get less physical, they get more physical.

And if there is a vulnerable part of your body, let's say you got a bad hand, you know what they're gonna do to your hand?

They're gonna whack your hand every chance they can because it's vulnerable and they're gonna see how long you can go before you say uncle.

And I think with Embiid, him getting nailed on that screen by Mikael Bridges, who's not the most, you know, he's not the physically toughest dude in the world.
