What are the top MLB names that would sound better in hockey?
Yes, put that on the poll as well. How do you feel in general, Mike, about what happened at the end of your Boston Celtics season? In terms of shocks, you were shocked, were you not?
Yeah, of course. How do you think I feel? What kind of question is that? The season ends at the hands of the Knicks, who the Celtics beat four times by like 20 points each game. And then in the midst of going down 3-1, the best player on the team and a top five player in the NBA tears his Achilles. The game ends, the season ends, next season ends, and the team gets broken up.
Like, take a wild guess how I felt at the end of the Celtics season.
Yeah.
What's wrong with you? What kind of question is that? I haven't been here in months and I show up and you just toss out a like, hey, here's a here's a question I'm genuinely interested in. How did you feel about your favorite team imploding in the playoffs? What's it like? What kind of question is that? What kind of journalism is that? You pride yourself on journalism.
And that's the question you come at me with. How did you feel when the best player on your team blew out his Achilles?
The reason I ask that question is because I don't believe that you've ever had a season end in that surprising of a fashion. I don't think that your sports fandom has ever had what that had, which is we're going to win again. We're super confident. We're feeling like we've got the best thing. And at the very least, we've got a chance against anybody. Oh, my God, it's over.
Oh, my God, it's over for next season. Oh, my God, it's all over.
Yes, the people who made blimps were surprised at the Hindenburg. Yes, correct. And I have to say one thing, though. The last season, despite everything Mike Ryan tried to say when I came on your show, The Celtics were winning the title. They beat everybody every game. They were absolutely unstoppable. It didn't matter who they played under what circumstances. They were winning the title.
