Chapter 1: What happened to the Celtics and Jason Tatum's injury?
All right, let's do some postgame. We bring Juju aboard here. Juju is decked out in his Celtics gear. I'm guessing that's a Ray Allen jersey there, or is that Paul Pierce? Ray Allen, who is that?
Yeah, it's a Paul Pierce jersey. Today is not a great day on the Juju Gotti ranch.
Now, when you see, speaking of Paul Pierce, when you see Jason Tatum leave the game in the wheelchair, isn't your first thought, okay, he's going to be back in a few minutes?
I mean... Actually, it wasn't my first thought. My first thought as a Buffalo Bills Josh Allen fan, it was like, oh, first time other Celtics fans. Patrick Mahomes does this to us every year. And so my heart is actually prepared and hardened for these moments, but it still hurts so, so very bad.
Chapter 2: How is Juju feeling about the Celtics' future after the season ended?
We've spent much of the show trying to get inside the head of a Celtics fan, wondering, like, is this window shut now? If the worst fears are realized, that Jason Tatum has a torn Achilles, which is what a lot of people are theorizing. You're a resident Celtics fan. I'm pretty sure you think the series is over, right? Yes. Is everything over?
Everything is dark, brother. And I want to give credit to the New York Knicks. Jason Tatum's injury, although very unfortunate, that wasn't the deciding factor to that game. Those guys played their ass off. They've been doing their thing the entire series. So I don't want... the Jason Tatum injury to distract from their salutes. You feel me? But yeah, bro, the future looks bleak now.
Chapter 3: What role did the New York Knicks play in the Celtics' playoff exit?
Porzingis seems to have put out his farewell Instagram post the other day. The new management, the new ownership. I mean, they'll never be able to take 2024 away from us.
Chapter 4: What does Porzingis' Instagram post signify for the Knicks?
i do want to throw in a quick fine you did say you feel me that's that's true oh dang it just trying to keep your account that's true this is a bad six billion dollars that was spent if i could if i could just go ahead and judge this one right off the bat bad six billion dollars too much right juju you got a top five for us today
Chapter 5: What is Juju's top 5 list of athletes who wouldn't survive social media?
Yes, I have a top five for you today. This was definitely in lighter times, like trying to bring some fun to the segment. Top five athletes that would not have survived the social media era while they played. Okay. I was brought to it because I see Ant-Man doing a lot of stuff, and I see a lot of players, and I'm like, dang, Shaq and Charles Barkley, they be saying a lot of crazy stuff.
Chapter 6: Why would Lamar Odom and Paul Pierce struggle in today's social media era?
So, yeah, top five athletes that wouldn't have survived the social media era. O-L-I. Lamar Odom. He was kind of in there, kind of not, but it wasn't really hitting while he was there.
What was I missing the other day when Lamar Odom was doing the pregame ceremony in Vegas for the Knights and Oilers? Like, is Lamar Odom from Vegas?
He's a Vegas guy. He spent a lot of time there.
Chapter 7: Who are the other athletes on Juju's list and why?
He's a Vegas guy.
Lamar Odom. He's a Mr. Vegas.
A lot of time spent on the ranch, if you know what I mean. Somebody must have canceled last minute, though, for that, to your point. Carrot Top. OLI number two, Paul Pierce. I fear he would have told the truth one too many times back in those days.
Chapter 8: What incidents make Charles Barkley a controversial figure on social media?
He's already stepped into it a couple of times in the social media age.
Juju, we don't actually believe that Paul Pierce walked 20 miles to work the other day, do we?
Nah, I think he had a Jeffrey from a Fresh Prince situation. Like he did a little bit, then hopped in the cab, threw some sweat on him. Like, oh man, I walked together, used my eyes. But hey.
I think you're right.
It's all for the camera. Content over everything. Number five, Karl Malone. Oh boy, spicy. I-Y-K-Y-K. Number four, Tim Hardaway. I-Y-K-Y-K. Number three, Shaq. Shaq.
You think so? Worse than them? Shaq under Karl Malone. I feel like he's thriving under this situation. It's not like he's inconspicuous. I think people know when Shaq enters a room.
Has Shaq ever had any public embarrassments?
Little things here and there, like public split-ups and whatnot. Whatever, that's real life stuff. He kind of has that Charles Barkley vibe to him. What are we really going to say about this guy that's going to win?
But at least Barkley, like Barkley, when he was a player, he'd been arrested for beating people up. Remember, he threw a guy off a balcony one time, and the judge said, do you regret your actions? And he says, I only regret it was just the second floor.
