Jaylen Brunson and the Knicks confidently lie in wait

The WEEI Afternoons podcast dives into the Celtics' shocking 106-93 loss to the Sixers in Game 7, marking the first time they've been held under 100 points in back-to-back games. Hosts Rich Shurtley and Ken Laird express disbelief and frustration, particularly at the team's lack of in-game adjustments and poor performance from key players like Jalen Brown, who shot just 30% from three and had eight turnovers. They heavily criticize head coach Joe Mazzula, calling for potential changes if the Celtics are eliminated in the first round, though they acknowledge the likelihood of him staying. The conversation shifts to the possibility of a Knicks-Celtics matchup in the next round, with excitement building over the prospect of a high-stakes showdown. The hosts also humorously dissect a bizarre media moment where a reporter asked Jalen Brunson about Roman Reigns at the Knicks' postgame presser, praising the question as refreshingly authentic and suggesting a recurring 'Roman Reigns' media gag. The episode ends on a lighthearted note, celebrating fan culture, quirky media moments, and the enduring appeal of Boston sports drama.
