Brian starts by discussing his confidence level heading into Game 5 of the Finals and why Jayson Tatum’s shooting slump has him slightly worried (0:45). Then, he talks about why the Celtics’ advantage in the math game should still propel them to a title and which parts of their game they need to get back to in order to finish the job (22:25). Brian and Jamie end by talking about the Finals and some best bets for Game 5 (32:35).
