00:00We begin with Courtney's guy, Jalen Brown,
00:02talking about how great of a summer he's had,
00:05but it's time to get back to work
00:07and he knows they have a target on their back.
00:09Last year is over, to be honest.
00:11You know, we celebrated, we had a good time.
00:14It's been an awesome summer.
00:15I've been having a great summer, by the way.
00:17But it's over with.
00:19Now it's back to work.
00:20Now we got the target on our back.
00:22Everybody's trying to come after us
00:25and I'm like, come on.
00:26So it's back to work, you know,
00:28and I'm looking forward to next season.
00:31Yeah, I love that.
00:32I'm like, come on, that's great.
00:33Yeah, I would say the best thing
00:37that happened to the Celtics after the chaos
00:40at the beginning of the Olympics
00:41with Jalen being left off and all that
00:43was how Steve Kerr treated Jason Tatum.
00:46I think what could have been,
00:48not a dividing issue in general,
00:50but could have been a bigger problem,
00:53Tatum and Brown now have a shared enemy.
00:56Yeah, and that's called the NBA.
00:58Right, like I feel like it's so good.
01:01I am so shocked.
01:02I was trying to figure this out
01:04with Ken a couple of weeks ago.
01:05The last time a champion was so much better
01:08than every other team they played,
01:10was so young and had really been knocking at the door
01:15for as long as Jalen and Jason were,
01:17to then have their championship met
01:19with such blatant disregard for how successful it was.
01:24I mean, I really thought, Courtney,
01:26at the beginning you were making a mountain
01:27out of a molehill when you were talking
01:29about the negative commentary about the road,
01:31because it began with easy road, injuries.
01:34And I was like, well, that's true.
01:36But that was just the beginning of this litany of excuses
01:40the NBA media had.
01:42And then it leads to the USA.
01:44I'm just disappointed they're not getting their rings
01:46in front of Golden State.
01:46I thought that would have been awesome.
01:48It would have been awesome.
01:48Well, I tell you, it's gonna be an awesome season.
01:52Expectations are gonna be high around here.
01:54I can't wait.
01:56We all expect that they have enough talent
01:59and they have the capability to get right back there
02:01and win another one.
02:02There are a lot of people who are picking the Celtics to win.
02:04So I'm with you on that.
02:06And we talked about this the other day,
02:09whether it's the Red Sox or the Patriots,
02:12I don't think anybody is really looking at them
02:15and going, all right, they bring me excitement.
