I accurate of that show I'm -- short way it's audience such a mental picture today of course the any changes joneses each and every Wednesday. That's quite interesting -- mister -- I was just for bruising here during the break him -- your computer. They going to want to -- -- Favorite website. Saved hip hop dot war -- was twinkies duck it -- check it out it rewards at all just to see what's going out and there happens to be picture in there with a hip hop group. And our -- dominant -- they happen to be making them that year is actually making the exact same sign. That Paul Pierce is accused of making that he's been like 25000 a unit them this -- on the sheet right here I'm asking you look at -- that. Is that -- is that is that -- in. That would be losing thinking the exact same three finger with the with both circles people don't know that's why -- you know. That's fifty grand I -- correct he's doing that twice the exact same thing that Paul Pierce is -- now. I asked those people who you know -- -- -- claiming that there was these were gaining size ball by Paul Pierce and people. Is that the mayor of the city of Austin making some sign here is that what's going we're going to put up a -- is -- up on the website yet. -- a WEEI dot com will be up on compliments they go to the big upside is limited details of the night. This is completely -- I don't -- that it. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- They typically it but don't some games allow video group the group with -- and you don't I. Well Andre in a while Balkman with the company and I got rabbit here -- -- that don't sure double bed is doing a little. I anyway he looks tough go okay -- on the stuff and it is going to I want. Capitalists I didn't get via a -- in his walk again. And I am pleading ignorance on this on the middle aged white guy who hasn't been back in the does it doesn't understand any of the other. But here I'm looking at the mayor making the exact same sign. That all yours me. On the basketball court at one point 25000 dollars war and that the reverend John Harrison. Is asking for fifty -- reverend you called city opera column air yeah exactly. Well this -- There so but I website W dot com and the -- would concede the match a year. Making the same some so called. Games in this Paul fears is three hours talk radio the ball Peterson. If people love it and we did that this gig you know that you economic things -- -- long yeah do you think will be and because television network television everybody is all of this right now. Do you think cute it is something obviously you're due to you addressed that a little bit here do you think you're going to have to deal with it doesn't become a stories in shelf life you think it's the shelf life. Witness well you know -- I hope the -- and now -- encourage him to deal with so. Buick hurtful to talk about before the game we have discussed a time when we will do a little pop poll aggressive in some ways some passionate address a surprise doesn't interest at the last they -- supposed to have been a reluctance on on his part or is -- on me or urged that the appeal. No I don't think he's into signing policy interest in winning game yeah I think I don't know I mean you know I've been in these situations before there's stressed that the players stressed the coach would mean there's so focused. I think that he doesn't understand the magnitude of the story making understands what's going on he's not listening the radio he's not read newspapers. Paul right now as you -- the mayor Paul is getting area ready to play I don't think it's. Question a layoff do you pay attention what did you think it was -- anyway a distraction or an aggravation for him the other night learning so soon before room before -- -- don't know he seemed focused to -- but he played well. You don't think it was an issue so -- better advised him to actually. Come forth and maybe two press briefing or something like that either as a policy address yeah what time I need him talk that over with Paul and his representatives -- cup together that he does anyway happens every -- -- -- Miller -- -- Dickerson of that -- nobody in the pursuit in the stands. The I don't talk to him anyway. I'm not and they'll segment again soon hear that mode max by the way by the way back that you see the pictures the other night. The head button where it looked like it was an injury for Dickerson on the baseline looked like he wanted to pounce on rob. That's your back -- Latin. It is on these -- straight. Eric -- -- and I got odds owed this year. This damn grade -- -- but how. -- -- -- -- See all of the others that maybe Leo po pit out only get crushed by Tony Allen ornaments W world -- I think I would miss that Tony and -- -- definitely on at least -- told his wallet to me and of the yeah the but this series has become emotional. And there's no question that that that guard is going to be right which is going to add to all that's going to help you get the love. You got embraced that that -- pole that you right now you you win the game. Would be rocket guard and and -- this is why. We played as well as we -- the home court advantage -- -- to the garden and play my. If from the -- -- and you pop it's like from the beginning all the way to you know. That's what that you're going to privacy hopefully that thing. You as the best ball since the game that you've seen so why I quit I really stuck to lose my age may want which it with a magnet by a little bit more. When you -- the paper. It becomes almost imperative that you get out who used to play him well he's thinking about the more the long -- -- he has. Between that team is below use the more confidence they give an important now is the rock -- you become tighter so that's what -- it is impaired to we have instant message in this in this -- -- of the. And then to get back pairing games six and really show something on the are we surprised especially you played did many years in Atlanta we surprised that the crowd was. As loudly as practices they weren't well I don't remember crowds. With that type of noise and it -- even with those Dominic and Doc Rivers teams and remember that might have been best Alaska it's we have seen a lot louder crowds in the playoffs and opening up it was a anything like the -- Henin-Hardenne in America to know it was a it was a lot. -- bad weather that. Base and -- beep that came to act or whether -- yeah there a lot of I racetrack -- I was shocked that changeup and they allowed these people that allowed Atlanta I. For years I've never heard. A lot of crowd in Atlanta never you know you don't of those -- for -- all that you know obvious that great -- -- -- what did they weren't enemy. When you have he knows that we've always we've played together. Is that the crowd the more emotion from in the crowd the more you -- in. A year and end all of oh wow great feeling you know our crazy -- come to gain there -- Both of them would love -- it is the more they. Was all about fifteen point lead about six minutes ago -- to -- route -- people -- beat the traffic doesn't bother at all this is what is the message. Get back to the the game itself and I want to ask you about -- -- we talked a little bit about him early on. I don't skip the feeling that at times he seems out of -- could that be a matter of he has have been here that long he's the newest guy and his team. And he hasn't learned everything he needs to know about how this offense -- how it works com I don't. -- I think we're keeping a pretty simple for Sam I think data. You know like assists and played well in the first couple games passing game methodically fantastic he was -- at all. And then in game three in game four he really didn't you know he -- he didn't play well. But com you can play a lot. Either and you know we can talk all we want about you know -- contributions at different guys the bottom line is you know -- -- ten point lead in game four with our best players in the game to finish -- game. And those guys gotta finish a game gotta finish again it's up to its up to our best players make in the best plays and and stop the NC daddy and. Like what you -- about it one league that you keep going back this is this like him boxy. And that is and that last round that you built like -- got The League uses the on the if you put your back the way you're not all what a block out which is okay act got this thing and it words it's the I think what you're saying it is continue to play the way you play him point lead instead of pulling back is it not to. Not bad news right I mean I I really believe this I I believe this in in almost all the games I've played him been involved in in all the many playoff games have been involved with and you put yourself in position to win mean their best players made place. Okay that's why they won its not about coaching it's not about the match up it's not about all that other stuff it's about they made place. Okay we didn't make place we didn't make the shots we didn't get the stops our best players didn't make plays and that's when it comes down to you gotta make the play TDC to a little more colonial -- I don't know defensively not -- I think got to feel let out a mean dark about doc has a lot of confidence but but that's people that are looking for a reason why it happened -- wasn't it wasn't because -- almost guard Joe Johnson. Our team defense wasn't good enough and it was everybody's contribution. So I think -- feel that out I mean you're always Wayne you know doc has a lot of confidence and Tony so does he want to insert Tony give -- some rest that may happen you may see some of that depending on the score depending on. Circumstances -- getting totally get over analyze that stood at I think if these guys come out played the type of defense that we've seen all year long. I don't see a winner stays in the game and I really don't look at me and he comes ready as they ex coach ex player. Do you sometimes look at I did do this -- -- you be politically correct -- but you have to second guess. Coaching decisions them depth as ex coach. I would've done what they feel like not because it's so simple. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- When your best players or the players that are supposed to make shots may come you went. And when the other teams player who has players outplay the best players you win it's that simple it's either way way over analyzing and you know if we make our free throws we win. You know and our coaches grade and our rotations -- grade and -- -- -- -- -- -- well I'll play James -- And you -- James were the best players and that one game yeah yeah. It never that good water gun game -- I didn't think it would have been nice beyond blaming game 12 and three. -- bit at odds well probably he -- has -- the ones again. You can give me here because he came up with one line. Nobody know he backed up as one he did back acted up his play play meeting me here and -- -- did come up with one of the funniest things I've ever seen. And I care of which game it was but it was a big huge clinching game. And he came in with one of those mechanical hearts humor that the article at this skill that's -- -- Out of games and I -- -- -- gay Harden are now everybody's -- the crowd at sixty pressure was yeah. It was -- like and it brought to you by US I security official insurance broker the Boston Celtics by your local Lexus dealer. So you drive -- -- so you'll discover one nothing else feels quite like Alexis in -- interests adequately as quality are predictable wind. And lumber visit interests of equating -- I was actually going to sign anything profound and it's one of the -- college how -- Right there it's not right yes I'm a stay away from it to us. Yeah. You out there it and it's below. I'll let them know you don't know that being out of it this that you're somewhere around this around here on it I -- -- good luck -- -- on line
