Celtics vs. Knicks Postgame Analysis

The conversation shifts to the highly anticipated game between the Boston Celtics and the New York Knicks at the Garden. Despite JuJu wearing an Atlanta jersey, he shares his frustrations as a Celtics fan.

• Dan Le Batard [01:24]: "Now everybody's perfect. Celtics, Knicks tonight. How are you feeling about tonight at the Garden?"
• Juju Gotti [01:24]: "I'm still in the same position, bro. Fire Joe Missoula yesterday. I'm sick of it. It's so boring to watch my favorite team right now."

Juju critiques the Celtics' offensive strategies, particularly their reliance on three-pointers over more strategic plays.

• Juju Gotti [02:13]: "Even when they're up 20, up 30, they're going to abandon whatever is smart and keep launching. I don't like that at all."

Dan expresses disappointment over the previous game's lack of excitement and anticipates a more thrilling matchup.

• Dan Le Batard [02:18]: "I was bummed with the game on Saturday afternoon... It was the most interesting scenario of the entire postseason to me. And we got such a dud."

Shifting focus, the hosts delve into the performance of the Minnesota Timberwolves and Julius Randle, assessing their potential impact on the postseason.

• Dan Le Batard [03:16]: "What about another team that's just out there playing the warriors right now? The Minnesota Timberwolves, Julius Randle and them boys looking good, right?"
• Juju Gotti [03:28]: "The Timberwolves are a dangerous threat. The only problem is they go through different lulls during the game."

Juju highlights the inconsistency of the Timberwolves but acknowledges their capability to challenge top teams like the Warriors.

• Juju Gotti [04:07]: "If I'm going to take Anthony Edwards and Minnesota seriously, they can't lose another game to a Warrior team that doesn't have Steph Curry."

• Juju Gotti [05:14]: "The Brooklyn Nets said they are ready to pounce on Giannis. But I don't think the Celtics would trade Tatum for Giannis. Not so fast, my friends."

The hosts debate the feasibility of top teams, like the Lakers, assembling a trade package to acquire Giannis, while expressing skepticism about the Celtics' willingness to make such a move.

• Dan Le Batard [05:54]: "The Lakers have a shot. They put a package together with Rui Hachimora, Austin Reeves, Dorian Finney-Smith, and like a Maxi Cleber for Giannis. Now we're talking."
