00:00Celtics with their sixth win in a row last night but it did come with a bit of
00:06a scare for the Celtics as Jason Tatum rolled his ankle and I just wonder with
00:12ten regular season games left if you ought to like is it possible to
00:19just sit the two Jays until until the playoffs begin. Probably not I
00:25mean you sit you probably sit them for a couple of games but you want them to at
00:28least you know get a few games heading into the playoffs so he's not you know
00:32he's not been sitting for a while completely rusty. Is it possible to just
00:36put him in bubble wrap for the entire rest of the regular season? Nah. My lead's gonna
00:41be how pissed I am after watching last night like the fact in which that he
00:45went down I'll wait for it when it comes to that but we also can't sit here and
00:50throughout the season and towards the end of the season specifically be upset
00:54when the Jays don't play and say people pay their hard-earned money to go
00:57there and then they don't see the star players and now after an injury like
01:00that we say oh maybe they shouldn't play it's like hindsight is 20-20. Yeah I mean
01:06I I'm cool like I said you want to sit him for you know a couple games just to
01:10make sure you know ankle injuries in the NBA they're like all the time and guys
01:15they look worse than I mean look at Cooper Flagg's injury we thought it was
01:18like it was really bad so. But Tatum never does that he never is like writhing in
01:23pain on the court ever. You ever roll your ankle like that it hurts. Isn't it writhing? No. Really? No it's not. I'm terrified to say anything. No no no. I believe the word you're looking for is writhing. Writhing. It might be writhing. Oh writhing writhing. Yeah and I know what you're gonna get. But I think like. Also are you one day clean? Yeah I'm one day clean. I feel good today. Alright. Clear headed really. Okay. There you go. Yeah. But I think the ankle. I hate people that talk about sobriety. Those ankle
01:50injuries happen a lot in basketball and you sit them for a game or two and then
01:53they're they go they're good to go so I don't I wouldn't want him sitting the
01:57remainder of the season I'd want him to at least get a couple games in before the
02:01playoffs. A part of me wigs and I I don't wish injuries on anybody and I hope
02:04Tatum's fully healthy but a series where Jalen Brown would be the number one
02:11double-teamed fully fixated upon by the opposing defense the playmaker would be
02:17to me as an observer of the organization interesting to watch.
