06-13-08 Donny Marshall, Comcast Sports Net

As we have throughout courts in the playoffs we break down last night Celtics game. Well Donny Marshall from Comcast sports net pay Donny I don't.

I'm doing great -- that -- terrible day in Los Angeles about 74 degrees but the wind is only about. Eight mile an hour like around and now.

I'm you know -- It's interesting Donnie we found out does the little reporting we found out why Charlotte from sex in the city was trying to talk. You want to -- to England's number. I wasn't even -- you're you're attributed it to dared to -- the big fan of the geared to -- on count.

You know what I got it could -- a big -- finally began right glad ways. So he's you don't have shopped him around it will carry going to come back to -- and a millionaire idea. Speakers and they just knew that. He had a couple of rolls where.

He might edit and a millionaire they hook up. Don't I easy that is why does this all I had never had a guy eight Donnie did we watch game last night that you will be talking to -- kids and grandkids about 203040 years from now.

I -- absolutely I'm me I'm now watch can't let or it first happened it was Beckett and they got to get this big bit. I have to bestow it to 1012 -- the it is going to be a long game and we're going to go to Sunday I had in this series and you know you look up -- we hadn't scored. Lamar Odom says it'll beat he's found himself oh you're thinking the worst -- Yet the Lakers and don't stride and and there are serious. Crowd actually at first America that Lakers crowded to a and in probably -- in but I you know. Let appears let all of sudden at halftime you know man. They cut it to heroin and -- on 813 eight hated. Guys just start planting it couldn't figure out also beat the law. These guys that commented at typically. Basically enjoy -- on. It'll -- Doc Rivers last I want to -- or people that commute is pat pat -- just leadership. That's immediately. Want to win NBA championship more than anybody else on the floor.

The daunting if not now that you look back on that about it last night. -- will was the not so obvious turning point in your mind and obviously when they can't cut the lead to 648 he's in the Celtics are back into it. And -- wondered if you saw any thing. When the league was fourteen of the -- was well.

You know I'm really I think when the lead got to look out. When the lead got -- probably. Don't particularly good in the lead guy the other ten you know watching Kobe and it's probable gutless not want -- vehicle burst out. The second happened in the company only has to what pick and third quarter at one point that's what I thought you know what they have a chance it really wasn't the score. Because see Kobe Bryant's fire and that -- you don't get any -- well that would struggling and I saw he couldn't -- I just realized that you know and -- older I realize that I could dispute has no backbone. -- couple people aren't so on site looked at this Aurilia to Google like ignore the Celtics have the chance and obviously all appears play. Credible because -- you know reality making shots. Don't look like Eddie House comfortable look at try to -- if you -- he missed some shots in the I don't want to sit here. Because really out either so would shoot the ball or that they. The backboard -- back articles are out to the crowd but he looked comfortable handling the bat well. In the third quarter the richter at third quarter what was lack of Patrick Willis.

You don't have to all the the real good tails out of school about Ray Allen but I -- ask you this. With Kevin Garnett his intensity is obvious you concede that he wears on his face on his Jersey with Paul Pierce we've seen him be very emotional. I'm just guessing there Ray Allen has an intensity a fury. That is hiding underneath that very smooth very gentlemanly surfaced that he put doctor to the world you know better than most. Is that accurate.

Yet but you know -- great it is if it can't -- it will it's not like we're weight or not it. It's committee cheeks and a Democrat cut out he works hero lot of guys eat you know like Kevin Garnett they -- outward accept it and that was the -- and I can't. Eric out I was over the topic tenth -- don't just scream and yell -- guys more mass. Perhaps the pac bell Atlantic basketball player but Patrick but my. I can't be level was very very high anyway you know I like basketball player and chipped. Kept all of his emotion inside of the way -- How he developed that he really -- it's -- at the same you know. The expression when he shot it never it's too up and arrogance to count -- too -- a guy like that you can eat you could follow them. Followed his lead eat well like I could always go to like he's in control.

What does a quick question what's angriest you've ever seen.

Tom -- it will. I didn't I didn't like yeah.

I think it pretty angry this is -- I see that I'm most people probably would recognize. I seen them you know yell at a couple in it they're they're. And it -- weren't very frustrating. Think one point is what is that they would probably the last open -- the -- cup. And you can you can Atlanta Hawks. -- that's awesome. You know more than at any cheap camera panned out. Work out how to Chester guy yell and yell cut let go it was more a popular neat I'm. Mr. I'm not certain at all warm up playing well I saw that a little bit read I watched it probably a little more. Because he could -- immediately call eight Urbina critique what. It's going -- what you see -- black alert went -- cute. You have the pitchers who don't get to your run out I was sort of picked that much like -- out there especially remote.

When you have a team playing at home in a must win situation. And it's got Kobe Bryant on it and they -- seven minutes and five seconds without a field goal in the second half. Is that all great -- fence or as some of that that word that I hate using around professional athletes is some of that joking.

It's I really think you repeat that again I don't think. You know guys -- age at this level especially -- like Kobe Bryant didn't you could say they choked I think if you're shooting two free throws out I'm. -- can count on. -- you shoot when you is that Connecticut street they choke but I go that long without or the other team escorted -- that the senators. You know picketing the being selected big help -- a one shot -- not getting any -- rebounds. -- kind of all over you have to you have that it'll. Say that it's like eat -- Can't NHL connect it to long and to be choking out there but they want the title at the league -- I like that again got -- Jack. Couple that it made it Doc Rivers they you know they did -- they -- it's from or a closest from the bench. And the other the other comment but he every -- and kind of not very. Italy at the -- sentence was pretty dark that we didn't have. We don't have a chance to beat that was fantastic and radical Dexter direct it solely on where. You know all about and I'll go out it ain't what they did not so I was happy that. -- eat you know. And dark its credit also gave the Celtics beat that occurred.

I ask Michael this question earlier LSU. What's your over under number on the number of shots Kobe takes on Sunday.

The I picked -- somewhere around thirty I don't think I don't think Kobe is going to go out noted that that the old western people out. -- It definitely come out firing advocate it. I'm very topic hundred Pickett our to try to win -- it usually what that beat this and taking a lot of lot of shot.

Because the lead had grown 24 points on Doc Rivers was forced to do some things that would normally do. Going to that small lineup and spreading the floor so that was out of desperation. For game five. Do we go to that when when you're not and a desperate position in other words let's say it's tied 3535 early second quarter does he bring out that small lineup. Four different ball.

You know Michael like it and I'm not sure ten it in my opinion Arnold all. -- I think desperation has -- You just. You gotta go rob -- But it I think I -- in the aqueduct and I think -- around street corner a little bit so I don't know about call it desperation I think. Done that before I think desperation as you can too Patricia we never seen the team. Jim what they're doing right now I'm Christina -- or that I think -- it's a little desperate I think and people like desperation he. They great coaching you know I just -- this situation of hey this is what I did in front of us. You know doc is safe -- soul east. Picking -- they can what's going to work out so I think if they have to do that that your question -- they have that Sunday. Why not it worked in game or you know why why can't work in in game. I cannot expect that what I think that it might it will be going into it or worked at the circuit at.

I'm when you want -- my buddies favorite words here Dale Arnold you know Arnold word is semantics okay. Sort of accept it -- said something about doctor he said Doc Rivers is a thinker. And I think most people give him credit for being a motivated is that semantics is that the same thing about I guess some unmasking. Give me an example of -- at that -- because I don't think most people give him credit for that.

Well you know a lot of people lot of coaches and a lot of coaches not played or you know you know we are going to -- the only got to get a deal. I don't you know coaches do that the field that gate well I think that they feel -- more for players. -- probably speaking for the game archer he's. While her every alternative and not having Rajon Rondo on the floor -- all at thirteen and it. -- I I'm I'm sure Doc Rivers is sitting there okay but think about that thinking it is sister think about about you saw last time you saw. Talk about the desperation whatever it and -- everything through okay we can do this. In this may work and we can spread the war you know we stopped he had -- their -- and picking -- the motivation now. We don't how he would much his -- Well there's -- have to you can motivate guys kind of bumpy he's going to stick -- it's not about 88 it was about the players. Populous can be -- want furcal be okay eighteen yarder at the guys -- this game we're still but it don't work up the scoreboard just play the game. Perhaps he would sit him motivated in in when he coaches that the --

Why was Lamar Odom such a force early on and such a and disappearing act in the second half.

You know partly because we -- art center actual Joe -- gave about you know. That east all the -- picture on the act of milk cart it was passing MIA. I think at times in the where you'd have to somewhere inside their parent even -- he's -- yourself I don't care what people are saying it. If you listen to enough. You start to realize that 8% true that the Marlins -- that point. Just say -- and so was I hope I don't go to what the fans in the year saying I don't look at our numbers. Not help the papers it shows at numbers to what not helping his people -- those he struggles. Well it looked like he got out to to a great start you are going to bring yet thirteen that it is team's first twenty or 26 point -- like that pretty -- It's an effect cap and don't look like okay. -- back. You know. What's happening Aaron actually you know look I'm on automatic front runner at that a -- leading the event that a lot of guys like an NBA who. Played well the -- it opens up when repeat as wedding. But -- I think that's what this this LA Lakers team is built only get out you know a lot of guys who can step up and and and -- you know. Because it was knocked out front runner you will -- the I it Lotta Lotta guys play a lot of -- out there are a lot of heart.

Yeah -- I don't know. How many people in our audience last night saw you at 1230. -- I did day and you nice little tailor your special ordered out there balcony looking down and Laker fan you're nice little tailored -- Okay but. You you made a great from rodeo dry -- no it's not know he told.

Can't buy anything from rodeo drive because -- All the stuff that's it's really especially me.

I and we just let it I doubt it would love it let it made a great point last that's -- to elaborate on him or tell the audience. You were part of that New Jersey team lost at 21 point to the Celtics back. And you make that distinction between New Jersey Lowell in the 21 point lead and the help and the Lakers slowed the 24 point lead tell people what is.

Well at the differences you know fuel. At that time that we -- the better cheap and eighteen and it capital letters from top to bottom we used to be at the better team that. On the other people oppose -- which -- and I don't. Fact that you don't. The bigger the better team doesn't always been you know little collegiate team played better that I held at night well that the Celtics -- Eric while walker apparently just big article and it the the crowd. Was actually you know that was the one game I remember. -- you know coming into the at an opponent that the the crowd. Stop yelling out at you or apparent that the net are not indicate to -- indicate market started. Started cheering or Paul Pierce -- walker what are those guys they started cheering for their own it Natalia. It's so it's it's sort rational when you have your answer -- or you aren't strength I can't. The other team and and that's what we saw in that game and every game when it's likely that they had. You know and figured out the team and it seem like there's respond after he talked about the Celtics. We knew what can't they can't -- but we do we were the better team the Lakers are not the better team. In this event held at different the Celtics are that there are superior team like -- kept well back in it that you know we are better. We we can come out today. We can turn it around -- we can make history 2828 art team Michael Reed walked in the there's notebook in his comeback in cutter that's pants so. The Lakers can go -- and at that but you know they're gonna give her much because they are not the better.

Well in the other obvious difference to his you know coughing up a big lead when you're on the road is one thing. In a coughing up a big league Europe home is totally other thing.

and a devastating it is absolutely devastating accused him and -- better -- those -- out. No emotion. Opted out you know when -- by James Posey event winner -- winner by -- power or -- there's certain people back or cold get. We -- alive and then it and then it Lakers copying. Now again that I had not letting Celtics but now. I'll bet Lakers suck at it hurts you look at home like that earlier and turned against it. And it just that the topic --

And maybe they answered this question is nothing. Okay but I'm going to ask it anyway because what does Donny Marshall think of the dale and Holley show call that hurts.

But there's no kidding me.

Yeah please please go on and on about Donnie marshall's game I got.

Nothing I bombed and our country -- and no no really what about on asking the Celtics have been.

I guess maybe reaching your.

You don't value of -- the man into our home at all I -- gramley now a -- can we kind of view view but our. The Celtics have been through so much together as a team this year starting with the trip to -- me. And going through a lot of things during the regular season. My question is what does a victory like that. Do for them as a team in terms of trust each other and really believe --

You know Michael I could not something that it is it reinforces what. What coach pitch -- on what you're you're captain's -- appears treats you could argue. I just reinforces that it. It being difficult. When they come together on all these are -- critical people I would it would colonel. Lester really it would eat in a row remembered and in. -- He gets he can't believe that it is so true that this team. They know when it'll it will make out -- all the -- Kamal went 11 pat just don't it will like at the end of the game. Playing to gather to -- back. -- an -- or when the game and meet it it does. I mean it it makes it feel like it doesn't make them think they were to win a championship now but because you can't -- subject has -- you don't want to beat him that it will. You don't -- the frequently with no coat pocket how to just don't want to get yourself. But it really let these guys they're really shows how great a a eat there really aren't you. That you -- that's media talk about how the Lakers are the better team. You know the bench is better suited for playoff basketball the Lakers pitch you know it's it. These guys that played in a situation Colby Bryant that the Celtics have not in any of this minute it was it was disgusting -- O'Neal -- a lot of aspects. You guys that it is one more one more little element that brings the Colts get.

Well I don't think it's kind of cool that the Lakers haven't WNBA player on the bench --

Oh I doubt that. Yeah absolutely distorted analyst at -- I would just aren't that bit -- it -- arbitrary. -- A popular talk about it -- Is it like -- tickets or whatever the -- They talk about how the Laker girls. They had the Laker girls coach. Ought to go -- kids. This chat because they're giving it it's chic -- come cheap on like scratchy or -- it. Which is -- out of it I'd see this -- critic.

You know what you know how interesting that is we have an email -- Who was trying to -- inject -- with joking but you know it was a true. E -- said Belichick wears the same headband as my wife you know what he might act --

Oh I don't like there's no way. The ghost electrostatic awhile and I read an article.

So tell me on Sunday night if you think the Lakers can overcome what I think is the devastation of last night. And winning game five.

Shaquille it's all it's it's always go to I can't but it becomes doubted it as a great -- I think epitaph I think he will. I think his team you don't expect and guys their competence or Democrat I've had eight or eight. Apartment pursuit team where they dictate. One guy great success it again and they'd pick back at can't keep. Like -- parakeet up. But do it ordered it slicked up ever so I think it's. Really -- it can't but think on paper -- purpose I don't think it helps our I think Greg out of the understand of course they are an older people rotator complacent think nobody out -- at one. In regards to want I think they want to keep this -- always been you know an airplane with you know out of boat people weight -- that they get on the --

Started game five who's guarding Kobe Bryant Ray Allen -- Paul --

I think matchups will start the way that they started before it I think what worked in it for you know. Go struggled the first half so it is you. It's I was just camp topic was a big effort but Arctic altered secured it picked up at the doctors in that go eat -- chemical. I'm not let it difficult that it could help all -- it is -- so I think they start the same way it there's issues I think are great. The cart offers from the pocket they. -- guard in the pocket he it would it comes to -- and don't. Stopped at it this whole team -- do it what helps you throw different kind of rough got that change you -- alters the the bigger the bigger and so and they start the same -- but it. I think that alters yeah -- probably it takes that they're going to back it it.

I don't know -- travel plans are but here's my prediction if we talked T on Monday you're going to be so long over. It's going to be -- All the yeah that was they -- both of them were all sent you you'll be tired is all get out you'll be good.

a doubt about it that the about it and then. That would you know DiMarco -- topic you know what I'm excited for the guys. You know not just because -- right now you don't like I you -- close with -- you know reading it and go all -- just I'm just happy I'm always happy scene and tries to work you know so much adversity KG. You know not peculiar history let it okay you don't bring it. How they they -- really appreciate it at Minnesota up Walker's -- current black model and -- Italy -- you don't ever really be considered a winner. Competed well -- I'm happy for the -- I'm going to be so ecstatic for these guys. That Doc Rivers and the Eagles were column -- by the -- talk about Kevin Garnett you can't talk about any age what he did the last. The fact that Doc Rivers went -- that -- want expected -- you got serious about that last summer he. You got a really nice about me you don't get -- it's not. Which -- ever becomes the kind of like that so. If you look back Iraq but a lot of things had worked as excited for the guys on all that -- if it it's going to be bitter area. I am going to be ecstatic I built these guys that it. It's not an expert in the you've got Patrick. If they can bring it shall be on that.

You spent four years in stores Connecticut without have a drink you deserve some type a presidential --

And by the way if you -- doc river's agent you'd say what they held you signed that extension for last year.

Or you don't ever expect Lester yeah. We we we want to do another one of those what do you.

We like negotiating that deal now Donnie -- our next week thank you -- Donny Marshall Comcast sports net joining us live from LA
