Doc Rivers

All right it's it is Thursday -- It's not a clock that means that doc rivers joined on the -- like good morning -- tell aria.

Well

the first things first. How often do you watch the awkward teen hunger force cartoon -- show we're not going to recommend we usually ambitious.

Ever heard -- number one been thorough yesterday don't know I've never heard of have been rescinded and I don't think -- will be watching.

The dog Jerry the libertarian over here. Is Israeli and gets my idea that I don't think turner should be allowed to benefit from this mean in addition to whatever prosecutorial things they can do and the fines to paper all the overtime it seems to me that whoever's marketing idea this was succeeded in getting an entire country talking about this TV show so my point is just like you -- let OJ write a book. And profit from it I don't think turner should be allowed to put the show on the air and profit from that he should what the -- a lot of people -- watch find them find them.

Well I don't know but I'd still know I don't know what happened here but judging others whom -- Someone had to allow them to do that.

Yeah but the question is did they did they think at any point in the process you know what these might be mistaken for bombs and would drive a city just insane for today. Somebody had to think about.

Yeah you don't know probably united have -- their their particular religion what -- and it is the strange thing but again you just that the -- Of the spirit and -- realizing -- hadn't talked about it yesterday. You know but talk about Egypt does become -- for a while people thought. You know it might just setup something bigger night night yeah and you know obviously -- hardenne Melbourne -- of the multiple -- of the yet so you know that things went strategy in -- are cited as -- about a.

Well the only bad thing as the traffic jam didn't keep Kobe from getting to the the dark glass not a guest.

Well you motivated at that level boy that is not obviously when you lose this many games in a row but. You know appropriate suspended of course it is missed Saturday you know that. No one ever told to sit there were ability infuriated didn't play but I have been without because that's -- We're gonna get a little -- right yeah that's the other kids don't throw for a force.

It's gotten better doc committees strikes may that is. He certainly seems to have more range than he used to have and he still has that incredible athletic ability to sharing now.

Well there's there's stupid I know his first involved in -- and the one -- just that it should. Sharing the basketball and and and so -- made it very tough to guard here because their return who helped make you say instituted in the first you bide time you've just got to. Let everybody else it didn't yet been able to cut the lead throughout the Jewish or in the still -- totally. That they're -- brick -- to move -- pro respective and probably just knowing he's -- to participate for the a little thought. You know what I saw him score of the -- you Warren last year looking at that that there's no way you know you gotta double -- moment you gotta be of the what do. Well there -- times we did that left him a penny made baskets and what it is that now I've missed their.

Does anybody in the NBA LeBron included make more tough shots and Kobe does not.

No one -- You can draw periodic stuff or shot at the best right but no one makes stuff was shot awaited from the basket the way Kobe.

Speaking of shots at the basket I don't know if you keep a chart on this I'd I think you probably do. But do you have any idea how many baskets the Celtics missed from three foot three feet in like in the paint. Last night it seemed to be a remarkable number of a lay up short little jump books in just a bunch of close shots the did not go Dallas.

We took -- shot jargon one of my assistant coaches at halftime and didn't it. One mind you know what's the first thing he brought up that fit and it -- more the first draft do it just started out these -- over the targeted we we just lost the golden opportunity can't -- This many -- shot yeah inspector would have -- gave out a lot -- or something but you know. There's just don't go where did the shot at target four.

They obviously if if -- has had peers. On him and it now appears would you have Tony Allen on him and those guys have been available.

Oh absolutely that there -- no but it through you know bureau -- and probably better bid in his short -- you know -- problem -- the first fast because not buddy did a pretty good W challenge go beyond shots the second had to develop it to do but -- when you guard Kobe you don't also have a direct and make sure more. You know Tony Allen went his ability to pick up dribbled right and just all being Paul Kobe -- better as fresh as he worked in the fourth quarter it would have been and that's so built -- you know you can find America you want. The force over regards about it you preferred it would take more durable you know last year we -- no way to try to keep the ball all. Until fourth quarter remember that day and we we still won today because we we made him work and -- but -- vidro --

And last night Kobe B in the smart player started to gauge what -- was doing and and started to get him up in the air and I'm wondering -- the -- ever when he's guarded I should say when he's guarded as the average just catch and shoot or more often than not is -- tickets ahead stake in many companies do.

In oh permanent pretty crappy and you know all that well what about Cyril both to compensate ya know you -- the what Kobe was trying to do you know in the what thing. It and I developed but an opponent before that I love but probity. If this thing being that might go -- and that that mean streak yeah killer in him. That would about it to promote lesson yet you know -- these are good -- being numbered as Sergio smart to do about those -- bumpers notify me when we talked about it but. You know you can talk about it and and tell what's in store. You know what farm very true love to jump in the air but if it's up to go through it until you start -- we have a guy coming -- on Friday 37 there's so they're just -- weapons of one of the craft a player to ever play best well met one of the greatest what is the wanted to crap just players there was that you know doesn't have to deal with the -- stuff.

It's struck me when Kobe Bryant with elbow in general Lee's face of that is that high with a mean streak. Then we start last night which Gerald green. You know what. You miss that without -- among all the other things you miss without Paul pierce is his competitiveness Unita guy like that out there especially -- your leader. Who just if it every play you know he wants to beat his guy in -- guys. And that's we suffer Bryan last night.

Yeah that's you know we'd probably 1% of the 1% of -- that's why -- Said that there's not only that -- that they know we don't want everybody but then they have bet that killer -- general bad they want to -- rent it though we did bed and they're concede that Lakers those are there like their best route to they -- bridge shooting them. Borrowed them it is what makes them different what -- but. You can't guard Kobe don't want you know let let the first but it never aboard that you know we're this alters

Kobe has long jumper along three at the buzzer at the end of the third quarter how far would you estimate that was. And the reason I ask is it was a flick of the wrist while finicky that was that pushed him to jump shot.

You know -- tell you it would field of vision and when he -- you can see you completely comfortable -- right yes yeah that's that would some decision.

He likes it it's it's challenging him in anyone that you want to elect to shoot from point to shoot a jumper from just inside half court

duke because that was and what are you -- night and he doubted himself. Like it was a Normal shot that there was not a Lotta straight and that's.

I answered the jury this morning that Mike Gorman last -- on the broadcast said Kobe was fine or lost 161000 dollar for the one game suspension that about that makes -- what 61000 dollars a game that after watching the game left that that you what it's worth it for crying out loud.

Yeah there are guys and it just imploded justify anybody celebrated in sports you know -- when you make -- much all of -- right but what he's done bat and you know -- all of our our numbers of players penetrator and he's clearly the third what did you.

Hey did you get a chance and I know even get to -- Greg golden -- head to head against Ohio State last night but for. Hope fans around here it was a treat you guys are on. At commercials at the brakes at the half he could book oversee Ohio State and then when you were done Texas was on and we got to -- Kevin Durant just take. Bobby knight's team over his knee and spank them it was fun to -- did you cigarette last night.

Did not what amounted to much seventh Tom Watson. -- any special obviously I mean it is in the quote I don't Kevin Garnett president of the any really enjoy this moment are what the Oklahoma State day. And I don't know if you saw that but that was pretty impressive group well then you'll see a guy with the side that let -- yes. Who can post you who can pick up dribble and shoot threes and rebound. He's such support.

And and dessert do you the right now do you think. Oh and goes first direct -- second or is that up in the -- in your mind.

All the -- they're my mind -- the chances bill Russell but it but it but it consider it a bit of stuff doormat I think you have to do.

What are the ends up being Dikembe Mutombo and Brennan's a B of Michael Jordan or Kevin Garnett.

Did you read -- there's but cliff clearly and I and I -- obviously you wouldn't need to look it would be government double would be all bad right -- about it that they do would with. You know all of these are -- were in college those cargo like Goldman didn't do. He's still is meant to learn how to play the poster also you know where the rent of course -- right now but he's going to struggle with his with besides -- straight. The rent rent is yeah he's not a strong period yet but it so long like Garnett -- to play well -- right away.

Yeah we all -- is as we girl we have to fill out just a little -- that he needs all that he needs to get in the weight room I mean he's an incredibly. Then.

Yeah I did that in real I've been there's we we -- out young did you know I compute. Don't really look where it let and so you know junior year. So you know now worked out just not sure they don't involvement Texas longhorn no weight program right now we'll do it.

A -- back to last night's game you're down 4543 in the timeout and you actually they came out of the break you're standing almost in the paint coaching. You often venture out that far on the court that that the official told to get back on the Bettany.

Doctor -- he's I think -- bottom demo to visit to go. There they only have limit that you can be brought on the floor that you -- lane -- to -- but you know. You gotta make sure no word as it is it would sort of got about the UUK and then bet but he thought of flooded through.

you mention the straight two team before Friday.

Yeah it though it's it's itself -- does -- have -- ignored anyway. You know I mean -- hear it every day every interview a sure it would they walk the streets. Someone talked about it you know. So you know it is one of those things where they already know and from what what we're trying to do we just dip in the focus on the process of of playing no better basketball and invested so I don't know yet has yet that that itself.

They're probably not not much happens in the NBA or from highlight real that you haven't seen in your years in the NBA. But what that Kobe drive in reverse stock at the end of the game one of the special ones.

Yeah two defeat unfortunately from -- staring you view it he would govern I mean that you're going to David -- the best part of it. There's been real -- didn't it. He did to the other side of the -- to -- But it didn't that's really isn't at that point that would movement you know and we've been met -- where he was just -- so. Gerald met last start to -- and then of course after that you know met just stop program more procedure.

At angel and for all the killer instinct and taken the young kids to school at the end I don't know if you -- out of there or dribble out the clock in the in the Thomas running down. Going to -- said you know lot of ways that nobody gimbal tap and I noticed at the end you work. Hell bent on getting the Gerald right away it's of the game was over you were -- Gerald he came off the court.

Yeah totally irrelevant Derek yeah and you know -- we built for David -- no effect -- up okay we would live with Bettany very have. That the total of -- problem.

Ended Gerald picking up this third about eight minutes left in the second quarter impact the way -- Scalabrine ended up on Kobe for a while -- it was on Kobe for a while I'm in having you know. Working out or the or about the only got the cover one on one.

There you go and -- in our best supplement the giro later after the Damon had a million and that's it looked don't forget when you went out we stroked a private back to -- yet. You know -- substituted prevail spelled it pretty good double dose of all the therapy -- or -- right if that's probably at -- they're in the guard. You know also that would Cabrera but I just don't just don't forget that to build that lost in afforded to written. You did a trip -- didn't blink you didn't back down. And that that was something that was important for the agency.

I -- appreciate the time good luck Friday night we'll talk to next week or Derek -- doc rivers with those. You think of any other coach in the it
