The Celtics are finding new and exciting ways to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, and the Simple Minds are here to yell about it. Dr. Big Mac, Rich, and Chief Bobby dive into Boston’s historic back-to-back choke jobs against the Knicks, question the sanity of the coaching staff, and try to make sense of Tatum’s disappearing act. Also, Headlines with the Obvious One returns to bring you the news you already knew — but louder.

📝 Show Notes:

🟢 Segment 1: Celtics Choke

• Game 1: Celtics 105 – Knicks 108
• Blew a 20-point lead
• Launched 60 threes… missed 45 (🎯 NBA record for futility)
• Tatum led the team in settling
• Jaylen Brown: “We need to get to the rim”… then didn’t shoot
• Porzingis reportedly soiled himself (figuratively… we think)
• Coach Mazzulla still thinks it’s working
• Game 2: Celtics 90 – Knicks 91
• Another 20-point blown lead. Yes, again. Also an NBA record
• Shot 25% from deep (30 misses on 40 attempts)
• Only 17 assists, 16 turnovers
• Won most categories—then shot themselves in the foot… repeatedly
• Tatum: 13 points, again no final shot
• Team stuck in 2022 mode
• Coaching Crisis:
• No adjustments, no sub strategy, no play-calling. No pulse.
• Is this really the last ride for this group?
• Are the Celtics dumb enough to think blowing two 20-point leads means they’re playing well?

🟠 Segment 2: Headlines with the Obvious One

• The most obvious news, made obvious-er by the Obvious One.
• You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll say “yeah no duh.”
