I've Friday night's drop by 20 upset that Kevin -- still in the game to magic. Different argument. Does -- argument -- argument Kevin -- this music -- I've -- 20 point lead disappeared three minutes in the -- you know what what did you -- got to score touchdowns want to just wrap -- these athletes -- that -- I'm not talking about immigrants -- let's talk a little -- is that for our weekly chat with that Danny -- brought -- by US insurance the official. Insurance broker -- applaud the AP a couple of them bad news is retreating and develop -- Loria.
I just hope you get that pocket about a split it up the score -- girl what art beat that would be great.
Well you know couple of the guys in the studio here Murton and and which -- instinct that you should take you know -- to watch the game is over -- but apparently -- you take your guys -- yeah wouldn't take everybody out just great I'm sorry answer is obvious you know like you were written. But it's but like like. -- you don't do that you keep on. They don't basketball player and basketball you. Substitute if you get by guys that on the football squad so so when when they're up by 30 year 30 points at 45 to seven is equivalent to what -- what what kind of any ain't what kind of elitist 45 to seven equivalent to a basket 45 to seven. Known.
I've been evident equivalent to about 30 point eight.
Importantly okay and at 30 points in the World War in the fourth quarter court in the you want to -- You want to take whatever pretty much over Danny -- 47 a football game. In the fourth quarter pretty much only took him out I can and on that regard it do you continue to play Garnett when it's about the fourth quarter.
I think it's who really care that you've got power. What's that. -- what get hurt in got a story but it happened Bob I'm passionate words the college sport but why coach. Side -- you'll. I'd wear it out in bell -- check they edit them well.
That what you know you don't they would don't any -- Washington game they were actually. Running some stuff against the fourth nasty -- in the National Football League and two of those plays were placed in the colts win. On Sunday so a lot of times you're working on stuff in the fourth quarter you can do in the game you can't necessarily do practice.
Being a patriot there were they like that. It every week.
It I listen it was electorate. They are on on Friday night certainly a lot different then what we've had heard and felt. In the last few weeks you you you guys over there must have a pretty happy not only with the wind but the fact that there's seems to be up a lot of energy over there again.
energy I think -- here 88 it is not only are they a weird but -- a lot of emotion and energy out the game I think it's early yeah. Circle all the way you're tired or --
You get the sense -- and and a lot of people were wondering what's the chemistry going to be like how these three terrific players did you damage. -- these three terrific players going to be able interact. On the court watching some other teams play right now and guys that have been together other and the teams that guys have been together for a longer than these three guys have been together and they -- disorganized as joint. Your team through two games here looks like they're playing off of each other are you surprised that this has happened so quickly of these three guys
I'm not really an at the same time I. I don't really feel like where anywhere near what we we can't be it will be I think that they are playing -- selfish and I think they're playing hard in some cases may be too unselfish. I think offensively we had our struggles. And eat sensibly we've been very consistent all the way through exhibitions he's and in through the first two games so I'm happy with the effort. And just al unselfish they are and how to go about their job on a daily basis I'd feel like our execution and off since this is going to get better better.
They get -- on generally he just lost his dad.
seems to be doing okay. He is back at practice yesterday not talk to him last night talk then again this morning he seems like he's doing okay really want to get back into it and in coach and infield back with the Stanley that we can't. But -- seem to be doing good.
A dating his his dad is a long time police officer in Chicago. Did you get a chance to go out there at all or anybody from the organizational will you guys
outlook Saturday for the in the services in the wake.
If delicate back to there we just talked about defensive already know it's like through games which are holding opponents under 36% shooting. That's a far cry from what it was last year at this even in on though it's early but. That's that's pretty good markets -- right there after two games.
Yeah I think that's been real focal point of of dioxin from the first it training camp. And before training camp to you know getting mindset of these says that in. So with a young team over the last couple years has been real hard the focus on any one think of the game in. He's got he's had much to teach the young players but at how to execute off the -- Plays and end and just the simple on the middle about all of it it was a team with a lot agendas -- not go one focused this year they came in we knew that all the greinke deacons score the ball we need to be had a really good -- with the team and that's been and the foundation they've built for sticking out.
How much does -- Garnett just change everything you do defensively and that he's back there if you screw up with somebody messes up you've still got that defense
you know he's -- he's so versatile you know it he is he one of the -- is the only guy in the history to have the you know 151800 steals and blocked shots and he's one of the best he -- rebounder in the game all the little things that he with is passing indeed and and steel blocked shots that -- all -- that mean he's just Ab in his presence on the court just happened in there makes that the better team defensively.
Which -- for an. Yeah I had a little bit jitters and they need -- Burke and about -- to Paul about five feet over top applause I mean. I thought some lots of things that you could see the emotions were really high. In that -- you know.
Would you rather report last week you're talking about Rondo -- didn't want to bring somebody else and where -- would be looking over shoulder -- Expressed that you've got some confidence in them -- I noticed in the first 45 minutes the other night at first game is that. The parents guys like Garnett were a little bit tight I -- like that they there's so much you know they were so anxious to get this thing under way that they were all -- but one -- I thought was really loose out in the court at least with the starting team that at a bench kind of loosened up. -- and he seemed to be -- most.
You know what you really did -- but too risky opening night he struggled a little bit which a lot of games without trouble is TJ Ford the first game was a savior for -- really got to go one and number -- Appalled that we could be game over its core -- on what the stabilizing force and indeed have -- emotions under control.
The only thing about him is he saw him work at last year's demons would but he does so well since his penetration moves to rip it. But last year nobody was going for anybody else they were continuing to shut down -- You can see in this setting with these type of players and his passing ability off the penetration. The -- kind of open form isn't going to give them a lot more opportunities.
That there are opportunities you know he he's just gonna do a better job -- being more consistent in its decision making in that's going to come a time and you know I think it probably being brings someone else into. For accuses confidences and -- look over -- their way. You know if there were somebody that problem -- certainly would but just because somebody got a little more experience that really out of group be it good. Player in this league other than just a journeyman. I don't want to bring someone like that read it could resent people minute to develop because I think today as he develops as he matures. He's got a chance to be really -- and I don't want to stifle that developed. Matchup against numbered tonight. Denver's cut off in Denver is a loaded with talent -- got to number one picks Barton. Net -- percent I get Marcus Camby was the number two pick Carmelo. I mean they have a lot at -- Now on that even they just really -- it stride yet they've lost a couple of close games but they're scary game Carmelo I think it's like they're behind -- will be those two that would probably did most dynamic -- the players and Carmelo will be number three. In our league right now enough and then we -- know Iverson's capable scored 40 points at any given night in. I love third they're what does that on the front line camp he's a great offensive rebounder shot blocker Kenyon -- seems to be -- and playing well that that team that from just details standpoint should be in. Two give the top teams in the western front of that money.
Any -- Denver and John you can't help but think of I think I came up with a growing. Might have been how close we you'd -- Iverson and Celtic.
Well not very close really do we we made a run at Iverson. By them never really got down to the details -- what it was going to take at when at all in doubt that I really think it's -- it just. You know didn't want to do a deal with. And that would added just been home run for Philadelphia and it was a deal that we probably would have been willing to do so there's a lot of discussion but never really got --
You think because of the history with the organizations are just in division of the whole thing.
Yeah in division I think that the that had a lot to do it it was just Philly Boston history and rivalry it's it's it's just it's rare that both things happen -- think there's been such an affiliate Boston for many many years.
Mom somebody mentioned that Tom took an hour earlier in the conversation and I wonder -- hear it was to bring him and whether it was yours docks collaborative because there's a terrific defensive line right there and obviously it's something that can beat you got -- to -- victims of you want to win a lot of games loosely.
Yeah a common good becomes with a great deal of experience. Has been around a lot of good coaches that Riley in the end chip and bad evil streak lenient if he's betting that the coaches don't write in the knows the game not just be sensibly but he knows the old game but it was it was -- decision had -- is still -- is capable arms -- it. And as well Larry Brown's name bolstered builder a decision that doc comes to mean we talk about them. The other it was dead in but got very security -- the best people around -- and -- always. Believe that it cock in you share at least show that this summer by. You know less secure coaches don't really like high powered coaches like -- the big games.
So much an NBA games last night going up and -- the dish and I saw the old Celtics they were playing in Minnesota last -- there.
It slipped -- you know what part of it looked very familiar. Part of it looked very familiar -- pretty gutsy Wally last -- us -- again it is big quarter second quarter huge quarter but I know parts of that yet.
The Minnesota game last night we because it was a good place and then others were they were almost like the same mistakes that I remember seeing with a steam last year you know just. Goes without saying you got a bunch young guys out there. One old timer and little overweight and Antoine Walker's absence of ago.
yeah of the they're not coaches an end you know the main -- those coaches can't coach those young players in you know I. I felt bad for about -- year last year because he was the one that was the recipient of all that. Playing for support decent bunch here.
Do you think material things humid out.
You know what I think Kevin is thrilled with where they are the team right now I don't it's going to be really hard. Growth process but it. But I think they kind of felt like he needed to -- run their course and I think they felt that out Jefferson with the best young guy available all the teams out there it. And even though there's some guys with a little bit bigger -- young players with with some -- bigger names I think -- he identified objects in. As the guys that you really want it. So I don't think whatever -- all of employee that you feel like he came out. On top of something I think it's just in different directions and I think they've they've felt like they get the best deal that was available out there.
Any look at the schedule we got a couple games of Miami coming up you -- Cleveland in there he got the pistons. -- the -- big game Sunday that raptors team is pretty good basketball team isn't.
what they are there they're scary people mean when -- hit on all cylinders they're three point shooting is on it it PGA's dunes country. About get a good job kind of forcing PGA to be score in not. Allowing him to get all the rest of the players involved when there -- on all cylinders they can beat anybody on any given night but they are horrible perimeter oriented teams and so they can't have and I think it did last night which they're shooting was in good in the struggle. You know they they obviously proved to be a formidable team Russia -- 49 games.
Are any other people are pretty excited about the this one here tonight agree that some people might have missed a portion of the Sundays game not because. Technical snafu but the the fact that the patriots were point psychological -- tonight's Celtics game and they you know will be hurt them. As well -- it but it -- aren't getting it again they were talking actually. Fielder did the and he brought you -- sign that your social insurance broker the -- or break
