Rich was astoundingly wrong about the C's/Sixers game

The WEEI Afternoons podcast delivers a scathing yet passionate critique of the Boston Celtics' performance in Game 2 of their playoff series against the Philadelphia 76ers, with hosts Ted and Rich expressing shock at how quickly their perception of the Celtics shifted after a disastrous fourth quarter. They highlight the team's lack of cohesion, overreliance on Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, and the absence of supporting cast contributions, calling the game a 'horse' rather than basketball. The injury to Tatum—described as a calf strain—raises serious concerns about his availability for Game 7, with fears of a potential Achilles tear. Despite this, the hosts remain optimistic, citing Jalen Brown’s leadership and the Celtics’ historical resilience in comeback situations. They contrast the Celtics’ struggles with the chaotic, high-scoring, and violent Atlanta Hawks vs. Knicks game, using it as a metaphor for the emotional collapse the Celtics might be facing. The episode closes with a lighthearted recommendation of the cult film *Mandy*, praised as a perfect post-loss viewing experience, and a hopeful note that the Celtics could still win Game 7 and face the Knicks in the next round.
