00:00What was your biggest takeaway from what went down over those five games and the Celtics advancing?
00:06I mean, my biggest takeaway, obviously, you have to look long term, is I thought it was really interesting how Orlando just guarded us straight up and tried to limit the three-point attempts.
00:18And for the most part, I would say if you're Orlando, minus that half, you have to think, man, we had a pretty successful series against the Celtics.
00:29So moving forward, I'm like, does that give a blueprint to everyone in the NBA of how to guard the Celtics?
00:35Now, a lot of people don't have the Orlando Magic personnel, but I think you do got to kind of look at them and say, man, they did a really good job against us.
00:44And then great, great job in the second half for the Celtics to have the floodgates open up and then finally get on track with the three-point shooting.
00:52Scott, I mean, did you see the way they won last night really throughout the whole series?
00:55I mean, they showed that they could win with ISO and just driving to the rim and not having to rely on the three-point, you know, shot.
01:05Do you think they're going to have to play this the way they did last night, that style, again, to win a series?
01:13Or do you think that's just unique to this series against Orlando?
01:17No.
01:17So I'll give you, like, the Knicks, if the Knicks win the series, they don't have the personnel to do it.
01:23If the Cavs win the series, they don't have the personnel to do it.
01:27If Indiana wins the series, they do have the personnel.
01:30They're just a little bit smaller.
01:31But if you're asking me, the team that I would worry about the most that could do that, what the Orlando Magic did, and still make shots and be good offensively, is Oklahoma City.
01:42So of anybody that can replicate what Orlando did against us, the one team that would stand out to me with whoever's left is Oklahoma City.
01:52Outside of that, everyone has to kind of play to their personnel.
01:55And I don't think most people have the personnel, you know, like, Orlando's massive, man.
02:00They're big.
02:01They're strong.
02:01They're super physical.
02:02They're handsy.
02:04Like, those guys can guard.
02:05They just can shoot.
02:06So if we have this conversation in what, I guess, would be a month, two months from now, and we're talking about, no, I guess it would just be a month, and we're talking about Oklahoma City, I will bring up your Orlando Magic in the way that they guarded themselves.
