Guest host John Salley tells Boston fan Chris Brockman why he thinks the Celtics bounce back in Game 5 of the NBA Finals against the Warriors with a double-digit win.

Basketball Hall of Famer Isiah Thomas tells Salley why he’s sticking with his prediction of the Celtics beating the Warriors in 6 games and says if his Bad Boy Pistons of the late 80’s-early 90’s could easily handle this year’s Boston and Golden State squads.

The greatest is that Rich Eisen shall, he is so good and he he so powerful to be arrayed against Kelly Johnson. They came up with the phrase jump the shark because of that, if every time they mentioned we were number one for five years after that would like to visit was afraid. That's true that's true. The 12 year N Caskey, latest news and smaller and this is very very much welcome to the but I'm nimble because he's in DC to go to court. Talk about what he was doing six John Sally you for being here.

I'm filling in for the day.

My friend decided to take a long weekend and people okay and I'm sitting here you brought Chris this is the deal since you and the real Celtic fans talk and yes even though I played for those other teams. A group of Celtic fans, so I think it's an important thing that you know that and that I think they got away in seven games. I just thought I said six earlier but seven because the MBA more drama. We need drama. We need to extend the season but you have to talk me off the ledge because I feel we want to get right into it. I feel like we lost the series on Friday. See that's that's what I don't like about fans because you guys start thinking well to emotional yet this is the reason you didn't lose all you don't think about that is maybe it's just it is a supply right this how you play the game you wear them down you wear him down and gently stunk the last five minutes on Friday just to make it more dramatic.

I feel that when I was playing. I realize that most guys can only play 36 minute. They can only play takes it takes a unbelievable amount of I guess focus to getting things off at the focus for 18 holes is very difficult.

Yeah, and the focus for 48 minutes in the MBA is very difficult except in the finals in the finals.

The top two teams you supposedly able to focus you got a focus for 8 to 12 more minutes, but I would see it to see guys zone out, especially other day I see him zone out with with not thinking that they think she's going to get it and then I'm going to get on his flow and his flow and his flow when I heard dream on talking about. He was out of flow and never understood like not in the finals, and he's bringing your kids and your wife and your all out to the gate. I think I did when I was a bowl I think my wife came to Seattle but that was it was it going to work on your hat and you go to work and and watching the film and it's basketball. It's not like it's a new job and what you been doing since he was six at its basketball is the easiest thing in the world. Anyway TJ over there wearing clippers shirt represent the 92 LA Clippers writers.

That's nice. Must be laundry day went clippers sir, I respect on a Charlson's name and Ron Harper is on that Shirley Danny Manning is sure how Ron Harper Gary Grant is upside down. I can't remember as I've never seen. That said, I didn't know they made shirts for that team first time she went to the playoffs to problem 9292 flatfoot.

I do everything in LA according to the rights what what riot was that in between was still between Rodney King and I was at 9192 9290.

This is oblivious 9293 while 90 to 93 there were 4141 and 41 yeah you guys Larry Brown bear Brown. I know he was mad being I love Libra. One of my favorite coaches never put coach anyway.

Today we got we got we don't have a great show.

I got I called Isaiah Thomas. He said yes.

Playing call of my text not called and one pickup and then one of my one of my oldest friends and in great guy Frank Perkowski taught we talked about doing our own show at one time.

Sometime I think last week, two weeks ago. So when he asked I was out.

This will be great because the conversations he and I have unbelievable were from two different worlds… In Montana on the lake and I like traffic in Los Angeles so it's a different feel. I can't wait to get break, not talk about old new all kind of things can be great and I was thinking as I do that a lot. I was thinking I'm down the street from the Lakers practice facility and I haven't been back to 22 year and I love Jeannie and I love that. But I haven't been down to that facility.

I got to go check that out. So when I'm leaving here because I just saw a little clip where they show ADHD city hadn't touched the basketball since April or May. April 5 okay that's unacceptable.

Think I want to get in this with you because I want to know this is a big deal or no deal some acceptable think it was a big deal but I know he means what I hope he means he has it like gotten into his workout and stuff but I I have a basketball in the car right now.

Every time I used to ride HOV lane and the cop to stop me into people and I know this is a very important person and I would have had I would have my best.

I would have it, where the edges shooting it while watching television, playing with you it's it's your real girlfriend in this the only one that even though you can deflate on you.

It's the one you should have. I so look at that. That is nice is going to be some wonderful pieces. So what's the clip we have we have the clip of him where he where he says this he and Mrs. Oakley. He's at a friends house backyard on the plan dear Paul or something on the church animals as a friend I take a look at you and hold you actually get so basketball will you basketball yet is not a friend was walking around that's what I get what he means and Titus. I I was blessed enough to had fake retired and got on television on NBC and watched and so I got the watch and report and see from a different point of view and a lot of guys don't get to have a different point of view. Michael Jordan got to see it from a different point of view and when you step away from the game while you can still play and you see where you fit in.

What was missing you. You you become better I think so. I think Clay Thompson is better I think is better for being away for two years. I know his leg may not be better but for him for his psyche and for his overall game. It's better. He had two years off.

I wish it hadn't been with injury that proves his resilient good guy. Hope he doesn't play well tonight but Systat love you Clay is going to. I don't really want to take aside either.

I was devastated and stupid. It's too late again. I did and I wanted to be a Golden State warrior as much as I wanted to be a Celtic when I play one out when I talked to St. John. I say you gotta get me on a team I love.

I love Northern California not as much in Southern California but Northern California. I just had a thing I was known to be an in New York on the west didn't work out so I'm not offending, so why should I not be concerned. Like, what did you see Friday that kinda gives you hope that Boston still going to wind well first thing it's a I've been in this position and I was in this position in 1988 championship come help me out yet. 1988 championship one game one as a piston and Bill and Mrs. Nina was walkoff court like we suppose a win-win in the locker room screaming like this that we one baby that's a game to break. They had been asked to sit with so we go back and they beat us again. Three and it was probably the hardest game one of the hottest games I remember playing a BS in game three, but we beat the wheels off him again for game 5 acres by the Lakers game and they treated us in game six and seven. But besides the foot and the referee to call the Phantom file lives here Madera Heights black Beverly Hills.

I heard what I heard it was vibrantly saying I'm just saying Anthony Anderson, a black is shut in Goshen. He said it actually is so III remember I remember when you lose one at home tend to focus and get better and I don't think the Celtics are doing a good job focusing. That's another thing that I've noticed they focus every other time you can do that you can't look to the next guide and hope you catch the waves is not a good thing to do because we heard so much about the discrepancy and finals experience coming into this. The warriors had hundred and 23 games in NBA finals experience in the Celtics team had zero right, but it's a round thing that has 9 pounds of aerated that goes into it. Eight teen angst round thing that you been doing so it you get to look at the crowd got it get to hear all the yelling and forth. Got it. That's we get that, but it's still a passable game and you still have been doing it your whole life.

There should be no excuses and then also nothing I was watching when they were talking about potty mouth in the audience yelling at you as Boston fans you know have a certain yeah Jim.

I wish this bill Russell could tell you some of the things that were yelled at him from the Celtics while he was waiting for.

Plus, I don't really you can't hear really you shouldn't write boos and cheers from a single noise when you're on the court like that or you could hear it. But if you pay attention to you if you zone, then I love Kevin Cassian when he said mechanism on all segments and everything gets quiet. You just have to be able to realize those people that share the same people that they come out of the same mouth and so what that they paid to be able to do just dunk on people and make things better glass and I thought Rich had his here and I was thinking if I wore here is what would what would I look like the MCMC got the yeah okay well radio so no one can think how blind is rich when you look in those glasses I saw yesterday so yesterday I saw yesterday and I'm sure I can see you tomorrow. I'm sending you know what what I really love is that Rich called me yesterday on Sunday. I was getting a massage by the pool at the Peninsula is all lies, is authorized to see if it is just sounded great as anything that is really jealous yeah I was up in Santa Barbara at the car and it's now he called and he was so so on it making sure that I have a great time and I love you guys anyway so was so cool it was texting me five minutes ago. Everything going good this graduations about start graduation to work six and Sally was like really got it first. You know what.

Also I like that that's really cool is that your whole section over is is is Afrocentric on the highest level. It is my main focus is Adobe's exit is set for Cowboys versus everybody everything that is cool that the card can see that homeland.

I had a friend a friend who works at me. Brittany Johnson sees how some tickets well you know she left here went down team know the never going to win again but she work for maybe Flynn introduced me to miss Brittany as if you have a friend in A friend and they can be friends and we can Cowboys wanted 20,000 you saying that Obama set up a set up man I love. I know Satan and I was thinking another thing we were talking about famous judges is Afrocentric and I got a bunch of stone cold Steve Austin right next to the big diversity does work. The people baby boys and elbow. There is something by Erica to lasso on the course apart from Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

You know, covered it all up to lasso great show great show of it I can find out because I was on site I can get on can you find a way to get in it.
