05-15-08 Donny Marshall

Well I have good news and good news which which like first. The better news the good news is that tomorrow night the Celtics playing Cleveland against the cavaliers and a win ends this series. Even better news than that is that it actually -- on Comcast and Annapolis and a some of the announcers we've been listening to lately that means my Korman and this guy will be doing the game Donny Marshall joins us on the line hey --

At -- estate when you call must all I have I'd music plant but I will be whoever does it out did beat duke it I don't like the or there.

Right right did not name the bell or not and I am.

It I'm not facility camps. I get up early and -- like -- Arctic and -- going to count don't yeah I don't have to get kicked it. And then you -- trouble you attribute it it.

dot had to do in the game and I'd do it in Dallas. Analysis for games they've got today Mike for tellem was brought you last night all he was -- said. A former coach was right it was incredible I was -- on -- aren't about to part with into the brilliant Mike Rabelo.

Well you know what it. -- outfit so. Are blind and out there but you know propel you don't have that you can't Indian rule want to go back to Africa and really only -- Oh don't like -- and I and I can't play it. Not a lot you at all you don't learn a lot and you -- go on all I can't tell you when about late platoon job want whenever -- play Dickau.

As what does that job and you want to go totally. Hey we sell Rajon Rondo is coming out party last night.

Eric it was not like. I keep current sixteen -- cart but it -- he would thank the beer really what that pick up it is quite you know. He edit it learners permit so we you know she got ticket are needed. Control car right away last I don't mean. That's what I think. Doc Rivers and staff wanted to he. But also at home and in the fans watching that's wanted to -- wanted to see it'll. And play well we also wanted to feed dot let -- can go to respect in. That's absolutely what happened how -- that rock -- where we need to score points out each ball well last but. -- score points -- for him to be a valuable you know asset. Short time adjusted ops that this you know I'm not against -- beat the game up in. Good -- on players kind of get out -- Ronald always under control any speed -- It beauty offered to keep coming at any past or a lot -- ignore it let you know not a -- you know being ignored aren't that the next game but I think -- double. You don't really controlling the pace. -- is fast or slow -- in four.

Our Dottie let's jump into the shoes of Mike Brown for a second game four. You allow rod go to shoot you sack problem because you don't believe he can beat you in game five. You allowed to shoot you sag off problem as you don't think you can beat you well two games in a row and that I know that and win game -- game five. He was the man of the match as they say so in game six. Does Mike Brown employed the same defensive approach on --

I think so I think you have to pick your poison you have to pick your poison you know with the Celtics. Think about it you don't want to back off -- out -- what is -- struggling you know are well -- You can't back up Torre out because he gets cut this year trouble I think that you know will will let -- and take it like it. Robert Fick -- shot I if he got out shot penalty spot you know we get paid Internet called it cheap and -- really. Making great decisions so you don't like old Robert guy you -- I it'll it'll obviously a bigger player -- it was so topic art Grant Hill a lot like -- because. Is -- handling skills or one thing they were fantastic but not considering him a very good shooter hurt you because you back off and if you look at making shots he comets all interest in you're backing up have to stay out of it at the -- it play up on him pressure now. -- I'd I'd -- right now he's playing at a great level also I think with the ability at the plate in. Back -- or because -- try to crowd so. But he here you know -- question Mike Brown. Two point that's the one did you try to -- it was -- Rondell you know cold -- likely.

when you think of the Celtics usual starting five you find emotional players. And for those guys mean Kendrick Perkins is emotional I think you'd agree with that KG speaks for itself Paul Pierce can be emotional at times breaking and when he's frustrated you can see him -- barking at the officials. Rondell we really don't know much about how would you describe his personality what's going on under that hood because I don't think a lot of people know.

You know everything or everything you want -- You ever watch a point guard could be the most emotional down. -- just to be ups and down out of the situation but he he -- Jack in this situation in the game of basketball it. -- making it real low point won't -- the Arctic. It's a perfect mindset. For being a point guard because you know he always played at that. It's -- at all ain't no level of -- at level -- a call. I think up under you know -- young I mean he's complicated. Sometime I got this for art got a lot of people that you very cocky. On the same he's getting at. Keep -- get -- get that quite competent you know -- playing it would it take up a couple of hours Sherlock our. I've I've got out his brother or -- you know like normal little bit about it and -- eat eat eat a normal kid he really is. It's humid you know and upside down at band on. You would think you lose -- a kid work it out so well. Or somewhere -- really isn't all you know but he never gets sent -- all out there -- it is said that. You know he think he any is he ever had to sell. Ever you know like I like that wouldn't take her out money -- it eat everything you want regarded and it got. You're with with really the point that he played with the point that he cared so what off or is it practice and -- a lot beset upon -- you know what his position that day.

I'm Michael earlier talked about the adjustments Mike Brown. Will will probably try to make before tomorrow night's game six. We saw -- make an adjustment last night and that is you know sent to sell hasn't hit a shot about two and a half quarters and two and a half games. And and all of a sudden Eddie House gets pulled out of -- mothballs.

Yet it's interesting you're were chatting on -- a couple of less than -- game. Comcast typical prep in of people you know chat on -- that question -- put Eddie House. And so -- and I think with any out been one of the locker digital copy blog opted to if you don't they put -- out then but. Not that it -- you have I'd have felt. -- shot that went out of running out of time Tutu about your reaching -- practically can't afford to wait on in. Don't bet -- bat or space in the basic need guys that what he -- thought about it -- I -- I can -- it all Ray Allen offered it based off that. -- out like at talent you want it's so obvious no player or note that those points is jumps so everything. -- Eight they're they're in the paint ready to offered rebound in the -- for you know little at stake in the -- extradite three feet away when or expect they know he's going to drive -- Find guys keep their spacing it -- Well one because of space in which they expect. Accessible Celtics until you're waiting for him to get -- don't have time right now well it out yet to remember the you can feel that. He gives you something good but he'd done it. Can't wait -- it opposite very evenly I like it out give him -- eat it makes one or two shot. -- bat very very expert out yet done that are out and where -- at all but should -- You've got making it eight point one opportunity episode -- sit -- tiger.

I've admitted that I don't have enough respect for the Cleveland Cavaliers I should have more I just don't. As you look at this team though is that you with me you may -- there's the question already. When you look at their number two -- potential number two is whether that's Wally Szczerbiak or Ilgauskas or is booby Gibson or Delonte West is there anybody who has stepped up and surprise you and given Cleveland more production than you thought possible.

You know that guy really. Services do you agree with me guys that really has. You know even if he's not scored points step up and make sure Wally Szczerbiak and I have bad ankles when he.

Two yet too bad -- on the.

I guess equivalent -- overtime out of Ohio for them because. It looks aren't immediately make shot maker rate -- yet -- make real bad because. Can guard Wally Szczerbiak. Wally Szczerbiak is the one. What you would do what you wanna what shall. It's almost went on and catching she you know brought going to drive he got on. Open area catch that ball you'd like that very well. In -- gotten really. Can sit in making shots -- and don't let that indeed reached Morley missed it -- you know brought in partners I think he'd been. In my mind until about about that in the year we don't want what -- If wade is one post player that is you know. He he'll try to outplayed out every single place cardinals to hit you know it it's it's eight it you know make a couple of shot but he. -- in the that out in the in they haven't you know haven't done a better job. Anything of exposing. You know on the -- it and you know and then let it get that out at east prior.

You know -- talk about that Wally re match up. And you're right there are times when while he's just beaten rate to the spot and he looks -- slowly looks Lleyton -- in not looks like he has late. Is part of the problem sides meet Wally is a little bigger he's not like he's a 646 by a guy like ray you've got to what does congress.

But for Detroit he gives up -- Michael Z get that back Q it's well it is it is you know. Inability -- to be quite slow. On athletic but he really is an agreed FB not a not talking to not. Not been as strong -- body you know on etiquette -- in our series. -- I can't -- you know yes it is but I don't I don't think about that at an advantage artistic. You know he's getting it's opened the scoring areas because -- they've been you know it's tough when you're likely talent. Try to help out brought in the attic to react to --

I'm wondering if if what happened last night could have this immediate impact on tomorrow night's game six in Cleveland. The the atmosphere in Cleveland the atmosphere of a playoff game on the road has probably affected some of these young guys a little bit you wonder if this is the game. That at least for Rajon Rondo gets him past that in a lot I'm okay in this group now.

Yeah you know what's -- Every -- on the road like this because. Disappeared again and then get the most -- it went that whatever we I really. I mean they have then this game has been like we know that -- art beat her or. This game I might be -- He's still out on the road he's still -- the -- Cleveland's great crowd are going to be -- at the they understand that it an elimination game as well you know. -- You like eight or look at it practical it is or take on the road and help -- hopefully that help us. But it really comes out in motion really come out that those -- work keep hearing in the playoffs Celtics energy. Intensity but it is so true it really come out of those -- not but certainly you know running -- waited. Who's going to out possible the next guy in the not what else except if they think they're playing at the same intensity level as the cavs. In Cleveland -- one win you're. That level much higher went on the road in. Note to which can't -- and last but you know what percent I got to understand it different -- Actually mentally and physically I think -- finds out I mean yet. My out if you gotta like that game Regis don't you know that that was yeah it took away but mentally I'm -- mental toughness is what connected. --

Are perfect Segway donny's on my mental toughness gone into the playoffs about the Celtics were clearly the favorite to come out of the east. After watching Detroit win two games. Both of them without Chauncey Billups one of them on the road down by fifteen in the third quarter that you went by appointed and no matter if they play Boston or they play Cleveland I think Detroit -- installed as favorites in the Eastern Conference finals what do you think.

Absolutely absolutely I mean that's surprising economy went to -- out Chauncey Billups that. You could have written that any any more. Short best. Equate out the magic or want -- and they have they can potentially can rest until Tuesday I mean at that kept out. Catcher injury which got all of the guys it's Eric -- they've waited. -- They lost to Cleveland -- you know he think it turned on I think Detroit took what happened last year and it you know -- We're going to do that does not work and it. Take everyone we place seriously -- tomorrow and get our rest of Dietrich at bat on that is just hard no. Great -- you know that energy offensively and and also offer Dietrich at all -- energy intensity all that -- Prevent it really using their veterans and -- veterans take in all right yeah -- like well you know -- She while those guys stick at some young guys stuck. -- What a great great you know rested. -- They -- 6 straight Eastern Conference final in apparent that pat is that right now beat guys. It's certainly they're they're all different and it. You know they have some progress that they they have to be --

Well we know Celtics play Sunday either game seven of this series or game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals. So we know we talked Donny Marshall on Monday and we're looking forward to a have a good trip to Cleveland will talk the event.
