05-09-08 Donny Marshall

You know normally just dive right into talking to Donny Marshall but just something about in erupting Stevie -- is. Bothers me a little bit Donny Marshall from Comcast Comcast sports net joins us on the line hey Donny I don't.

They're really don't want you know. I can't believe that you're going to Europe and -- they'll. I -- and I can't either because I I have I've listened to wonder I bought Stevie Wonder you'll let brad or else Stevie Wonder at.

Tell you have in it if -- that last night's win by the Celtics was even more impressive than the win in game one by the Celtics against Cleveland.

No question I don't know question you don't eat you think -- like game one the -- and it will eat you can you help. And I have another game like that Doc Rivers and -- You don't look so the total sitting in the right stuff you don't want to get it's going to hips and the only -- more fuel cell phone. Note -- And Barrett they can have been reluctant element ridicule that you know well so excited about it and -- or you know trying to. You know turn -- over -- you know jumping on different kinda early thought from the Expos beat. You know appears helped -- hold -- urgent. And it really -- and the game that. In Vicksburg the Celtics and I want to -- the most athletic all can go on and help independently.

Okay people in Cleveland rules say the cavaliers have to have more effort they'll say LeBron needs to play better and those are just -- superficial talking points in my opinion. But let's break this down for Mike Brown what does he do what is accountable to what the Celtics have done LeBron James.

Well first I put him put -- attitude to go to New York or. I don't morneau and got frustrated on the on the court don't -- you don't -- begun to -- ready to go. Intro Ethiopia and job but you know there's an -- you expect -- know these guys you have to -- you keep your etiquette they. You gotta tell LeBron and you know check Deutsche going those shots will fall you know. Entertainment conglomerate I don't know it probably what they've done mostly haven't -- in the -- all in all. Every once critical for the Eagles won't want and it's really good about it or is going to -- it he would. Well not correct course because that -- really going to go excellent they had. Well and trying to -- I don't -- Alberto summer off an alcohol or. You know chicken little bit under ticket back to join us about itself you -- have big -- You know eat and I really don't have -- truce took X you don't expect but -- the kind of -- to salvage them hold the ball around. I don't cavaliers want to play old games and even in the top seventy -- once -- into the net and maybe they just can't play like that epic bigger controlled the ball so well all.

Donnie we were talking about it earlier before he came on it seemed like. The argument that the golf this was on his way to get points and making match last night that but asked -- Justin that the Celtics are okay it that there opposite he's going to take seventeen footer eighteen footers. I think the Celtics. We'll take their chances that eventually that's not going to go out and and at least if the guy not named LeBron James trying to take some shots.

Yeah not available and -- wanted to and and I got it going to. Not an -- three pointers reporters can hurt you. About as we know not an American reporters from going to take an option not -- the Celtics and educate everyone not quiet. Token you're getting going to take you know 25 shot you gonna take -- the most arcane. They paint shots ordinary got a ticket coach at -- era did that first game twenty to -- well they can't. You know last night he's going to hi Tina peak your company and the mid twenties. Arnold and because -- the brewers decided. He's you know ordered -- dishonest and start missing -- in the Senate particularly shoot jump shot. The Celtics controlled the glass on the regular student than you. Really more competitive says you know what I don't -- it and it -- one minute which can't argue the numbers and the numbers show. The cavaliers and written. Just in the first round of the playoffs they'll rebound the wizard by six and rebounded and that's really how -- and nobody -- Regard to capitalism cannot get -- jump shot okay. But it particularly -- you really think particularly the Connecticut shot meant directing misses out of control and internally controlled controlled today.

The basic premise here you know if we stop LeBron James the cavaliers don't have anybody else who can hurt us every team in the NBA can figure that out -- I. I didn't play I can figure that out. But but they're doing something Tom -- I was doing something with the -- the events the the other teams in the NBA either haven't tried or aren't able to do which is.

Well I think preeminent they -- amenable to doing and then it got opposite pitching in front -- kind of surprised me because that's what belt it's really have done all these longer. Really focused on on the commitment and they don't. Coach I know it's. Past defensive coach Canadian -- that's what -- normal person and coaching position exceeded. And I think it wanna coast I don't know yet they probably do the job this year depends appropriate preclude that player yet and players play well -- When he got -- great talent populace to really look completely cut the belief that. I mean coaches that -- a lot about coach Jim hill and -- really message and I don't get across but. Tell him the -- do what they cannot just saying we. Just go abroad but don't go single covered everything we want to allow the -- into an area well what -- what I'm seeing their -- and to everybody want to -- We can't -- that the -- You know I don't post but just 4434 cannot take -- jumpers sail could help she can alternate. -- there's there's a big difference between. And 86 origin China. Turnaround jumper on -- and it and it twelve foot jump shot and exactly what they were pushed abroad and it's just pinch hit despite. All of sport it can look into that you can give him and pitched -- two feet away from it could result. That's exactly what you -- and and they've been doing -- LeBron struggle.

Donna you just provoke the thought here and that's pretty rare for you packages which is that is that -- and want to hear a lot out there that's just I'm really surprised you're able to provoke this opposite you're talking earlier about Danny. Any change in how we had a great off season you know bringing imposing bringing Garnett in in bringing yen. Ray Allen was sounds like he should get kudos for bringing in Tom took but I want to know how the Celtics get him -- can't beat the best defensive coach in the NBA. Boston was coming up it 24 win seasons I'm guessing for Tom -- They're not in the top five places our jobs are really want to be -- that happen.

All -- want to talk all right I'll put you want to beat until I don't agree on and yelled -- corner and try to. Draft date and that's pretty much I think you know -- not -- Kevin -- and detained in deep deep deep that the player of the year first ball and be held and well with our program and I don't understand and it just because we were we were truly think about it and my going to. It's true and it cannot really coming here I don't think populace can convict treat treatment. It was not come nobody committed to -- just -- so it's an artery out of our. You know give it took it and that took -- you know what they had a couple good players I've coached a kind of need to get straight up -- it again JP. On the Western Conference -- English and it looked like I I really believe -- coach -- and I really believe that I can play people because that's being beaten as well enough and you know you're right that's another note not a underneath his belt he can say you know I think I can the players and helped. According coach great piece that -- good people -- the -- ruined in Tokyo.

A wonderfully as our jobs and their day off of one of the highest paid assistant in the NBA probably not. I would get somebody up Phil Jackson's staff is up there.

But -- didn't -- if you want to do we could be one of the unexpected and it coaches and -- that we're we're seeing -- really what he wanted to do you know he's almost like coaches. Are better you know better suited for a assistant position and India -- a lot less certain there's there's like. A lot more job security and most most cases thrilled at her sister coaches respect coaches but. You know I think he's pretty much if you don't overlook -- against -- You know players not all of it right and how they're sitting -- and didn't really solidified. I'm not -- but it opened the next year's you know four or used car.

Ray -- offensive woes continued through the first -- last night he -- points at halftime. And then his son kind of slowly but surely work his way out of it we saw him -- We sign you know put some points on the board he talked about it was like playing your first game after you've been traded to a team and you know shown everybody that you can still play. We saw Ray Allen to it last night how -- LeBron James they'll.

Well Egypt -- it's a little different for LeBron because really can't control you don't know how it. A couple of cardinal a point forward like -- well he had to -- to run pick and he's you know. If you look on his right -- want to college's start jacket shot about it about the -- you know peace around but brunch and then. You know he's -- really talked about it earlier that that retreat that that it's you have to give them into is Coppertone. He -- Archie three owners shouldn't aggregate three point shooter in the -- well in the arm that yeah. Credit to increase the total load he came out starters -- a lot of jump shot which are bad. Sometimes just going to call you can -- your own bed you're -- you're you're from being you know would you. In connection struggle a little bit easier your call your nerves a little bit. If something's just assembled it because I got got a bigger portion -- cut on that. Just weren't falling ill let someone go in and out you know what it felt so you know it's just whenever he has -- shot. You know I can imagine those shots will fall and they ended the general has not done for the opportunity that.

On the comfort level at -- sideways into my next question for you we were all getting excited. After the Celtics went up two games on the hawks they're going to sweep this team and we know what happened their seven game series obviously. What makes this different why will this be different if you even think it will be.

I don't think it will be different -- I think it will be different because. So did you know exactly what did you think from Cleveland they know exactly except Cleveland run the -- and it was going to end -- the ball there. You know 80% of the time they know exactly what other guys do what the talks yet no idea and you're just a bunch of wild card Lewis can you walk. Did to call and Atlanta didn't really sat -- playing. -- keep you -- play pickup basketball in Oregon actually never make -- also again corporate. That's pretty much what -- the biggest goal for about a you know on the road retreated back home pen and eloquently you can -- we know what to expect Atlanta. I don't think the public know what to expect you know one game to the next and final bill Courtney Lewis -- a team. Well almost six point two quick and you become an all my more than twenty points and tells you right. You just don't know what to expect that that would have been it I don't expect that you can -- wrote it.

What happens tomorrow -- Saturday night in in game three.

I don't think you know I think more calls will go Cleveland when it's just the nature of the a basketball you know immediately more called locally went away LeBron will continue to walk around much you know he would come. -- Michael I'm not really -- you're welcome you -- police bunker and -- equal or equivalent a like a professional poker player. RU slowly getting better known as much educational component to their rep brought be critical topics -- attention to player deeper than play like down because I don't think. A pretty good basketball game because that -- these incumbent who RTC you know they can become a you know it is basically wanted to at least because he's likely to do it it's not you know. It's -- 120 opportunity and it -- Janet and and the Lakers it it out that the basketball paper for these teams -- here so it won't be ugly but. I think the Celtics I still think that which can do it and not into it.

Okay -- march. I don't doctor wouldn't go -- soccer comment. And after this tough guy wins the English Premier League title on Sunday -- or Manchester United.

I hope don't tell -- I can understand okay.

He was going to -- like what we got. Got up to break them down.

Always been and always Petrino Manchester United. What about Liverpool an opportunity. What's you know Sakamoto and German and European soccer every side and told my eight. Manchester United did and attract expect the team -- will have -- get my body -- already. The watched it didn't trust and -- public duel where watch.

Oregon I I think that the -- all year you know Donny Marshall. It is is he's the kind of guy make other guys the K that we got got nice clothes. My favorite out of bad -- got a guy had a rabbit and got -- nice little convertible going and play in The League. Although it's also a little -- not good golfer little change in his pocket. Cellphones that she could --

And distribution and that's. Continue to at least on the subject can connect. I'll they had done get your batters I'll believe it I. We wouldn't and I. We appreciate time is always will talk to next week they had done and Donny Marshall from Comcast
