Only on Comcast sports net joining us on the line right now is the newest member of the Boston Celtics. Guard Sam -- sells us and it's Dylan Michael how aria. Right or Greg welcome to Boston -- thanks to embark. What a nice ovation you got your garden debut last night.

Well I heard apparently didn't see you don't have but I want to take epic game. But I sighed heavily it's receipt date -- and that the anti Soviet so I've been here missed me on. Funny that. Millions of.

As Sam tell us about your your departure from Los Angeles and you seem like you really wanted to get out there and fortunately they let you go and a -- to sign with the Celtics but what happened or why what did you want to leave.

Well and the team was that amnesties that I thought we should agencies. Police depleted our post season with a loss to help raise our -- that's twenty some points. Though it got rebounds the outcome of the Western Conference can expect a big men -- is. But there's probably no car attract as part resources Kevin Garnett and rerouted -- person they've -- race one --

It's about that relationship with with Kevin Garnett I remember when you first got to Minnesota it was huge Garnett missed free well. -- got used to have some pretty good debates in the locker room what.

Our guards let -- that is really appropriate it is -- always debate about something. About the weather with the press -- there was sitting at the best food we always debated most of the boat was you step on the court. It was off and he is right. I think got you have it great -- have always had these guys but -- respect these in that the sheets went to respect you gotta respect -- teammates were deeply. Lots to do that we should be champions here.

I was list NT after the game last night when you're on the radio with bush on grandy and Cedric Maxwell and it -- the way you put it was you're not driving a Rolls Royce when you weren't driving a Rolls Royce when you're in Los Angeles. But I I learned last night and the post game show you don't test driver Rolls Royce.

That is stuff right then is he just got a cup because -- degree the kind of progress at seven -- rose -- you -- deeply committed got a Ferrari it's because got -- bouncing.

Sam you've been around for a long time there's not much of a basketball court that you haven't seen. How how -- complex is the Celtics offense in terms of what they're trying to do or terminology I mean is it is it difficult for you to pick up.

It was not difficult it is -- Whichever it seems that he used to -- appreciate that he did two in the system any pain it is insane just determination for. So respected companies and down they've got -- comfortable comfortable -- then partisan peaceful.

I saw that there was the one point in the game where somebody would shoot a free throw and I side -- call you over by the bench staring at the white board out. It is he still diagram plays for him.

About a body totally into. -- we tested at any pain now you know. More positive thought this is -- eternity to -- the playoffs.

And did. Did dark dark humor did he taught you about your role or is it just understood that you've got to come and then you'll you'll help out at either got guard spot when necessary.

Well you know that's not. In a backup -- partisan response by our business is -- it's therefore try to egyptians target. Are committed to what we try to do try to accomplish right now -- give me a tremendous hit there -- both went failed to spark -- in Chechnya you know when it that would attention the issue will be right sports anyway and so there's.

Course the fun part here is when you're here the last time as a member of the LA clippers. We saw you get chucked out of the game after a hard foul on Rajon Rondo and that's how you're going to help -- about a point guard.

No doubt about it about it. Carter is good right.

The what was it what was the -- you're just trying to make a point.

Not a little elusive today it was today -- it is going to -- to Jacques right now you know. The gap reduced in and -- is is that secrets about.

Tell me what your role is as as revolves around race John what do you want to do to help him out.

and understanding you know best you know. Every level right now and Kane is this games this is is that it just as it will be in the playoffs the want to see. Understand this -- is via talking about tellem. How he got capacity -- That's what he's got to respect which it you know and they we don't right now is identical UK and we are just but he divisional.

You talk about the intensity of the playoffs and I I always remember you but my first a lot of stamp themselves deal. Is in the finals against the Knicks. You make it a big shot in game was in New York -- remembers that game three game 41 of those games game three you hit the big shot there. -- young player did you did you know at that time the difference between. Post season basketball in regular season basketball or you know what now after your experience in Italy.

What do you status or sisters you gotta go to the ups and downs well these past because in definite difference probably gain all out Ortiz. You know cinema -- candidate stick with. And we let you don't get it going on at that particular that night so. The other that decided as -- I have got to -- aspect. Guys Mark Rogers ain't there will be passed ball that any it prepared me to take a base --

They were talking in my efforts LO a little while ago when he was talking about you coming to the Celtics. Any said he never senior birth certificate so as far as he's concerned you might be older than Dikembe Mutombo he doesn't know.

You'll be facing some team from the Western Conference he gets the finals that's going to be ridiculous and in the Western Conference is that you can tell us we don't know what as well as you do.
