Ray Allen, Celtics Guard

You know it was one of those Jacqueline hide games if you're watching last night outlets and at TD Banknorth Garden. Sit in my house watching the game on Comcast sports net. Part of the game was as utley and as awful as you could -- pageant. Turnovers. And lack of shooting but in the end of the game was so much on it was such a blast. And the guy who insure that it would be -- night for all of us. Is in the -- leadoff spot joining us on the team -- AT&T your world delivered as the guy who it. The game winning shot final three seconds Ray Allen is without a rat's tail Michael -- Or Greg. For part of that night that was his -- a basketball game -- you can as you can watch you guys the flatly April while last night to.

While I knew it it was that spurt where we start turn although Burnett and they took the lead and it was not they twelve point. It was thought if there wasn't anything they did. It was just we turn although and that's when I got of the book most ardent that we --

and ask you about both -- three pointers in the second overtime. First they had a big shot and did a little six shooter thing.

Like when you when you're taken at three in Gerald Wallace.

Was just a little bit late yeah like all you need is a couple inches. To get a shot off.

Just one thing on the Lockheed because again refuse of the those he. -- by these so you almost area trying to stop and be too aggressive on the contest because in native. All these people there autonomy he would -- And then you -- Biden and and did not so there's always just that open space in that over the spaces openly.

And on the second three pointer. All made a great move to the basket -- a no look pass out and all you saw that coming and not let. It seems to be a similar play Wallace had to deal with peers or had to think about yours and I'll let you a couple of just the effect.

Well the first play it was -- was elected. Said the great screen and I got open and no doubt there. As we've all been wrong so they were worried about it equestrian units take so it was a little but it now while ago when it -- second platelet. The got all bought and all the you don't want him even you've got thirty. Points you know once and is it. So I don't -- uses standard -- in -- where myself but it is as pretty issues. We gotta get a spot be ready right sometimes it misses some. It on this some time passes at our feet sometimes overrated. But one thing that. Would be consistent -- that we got to get to where we need to be so we can do an option to -- to. Make --

It has been set of every great shooter that you can't have a conscience. That that no matter how you feel the ball is is is goal and are not goin' for yet. When the shot is there you don't even hesitate to take it is that at a fair assessment that when you're a great shooter and you -- are the you don't even think about any misses you might they had before the big shot.

So I decided -- ball. That was Ubuntu. That -- But it it's also that's right which is to open situations where. I'll wait. A minute. Always know -- mr. black and never. I've never worry about this perfect shot because not all and sometimes it doesn't. When all things way out in the BB -- wouldn't need to be absolutely at all. We've looked at the but as the one bit about the malls which they are not amidst may be -- or read that. All ball much. So sure so. It's a it is that. -- and that's where outlook in the in the third early fourth and one -- it and so worked.

When you said you know argument shots so what was that what the -- ball opposite. I was shocked to see that.

Well it was it was it was a collect that they that came off screen. And -- when I hit the screen -- a public thank you argued ball out of local Marshal was from -- not. From so I know meet when I get the ball as -- the biggest open. -- And then I looked forced dissect it heard zero loss to lord spoke -- little -- little bit because you called on the street and malt -- And then -- eat due to the ball into that and normally that that don't meet when he told audits that at the world. And you know much guys. Not trailer beer he's department I. Got it back so it -- When I caught the ball I never really had complete control of the so -- went up. Almost and they can -- this stuff but I wasn't in it and releases are locked it and it had not went up an aspect it. Just sit there wide open exit wide open that that that these wide open and in it it was Al -- also. It threw me off but the united shooting you do at the -- not have a cut -- so -- although he got to the.

You know when we watch your game this year just as observers I think that your having a better year than you had last year how do you feel about.

I just need at the year that -- so we -- You know whatever that whatever that means when -- came out that. No it is frustrating it was. You used to everything and now the one in in acclimate myself and system. That popped on to a vote right now it is trying to understand in is called. What won't play that is the it's a new situation for them and it was -- so I added just so all of it matte paintings all of -- The when he attempted that way you buy this is what I need to do this they're saying it I have to do to make adjustments. Help the team when it senses so -- issue is there no it wasn't like you know outlook word about outlook be worried about scored an iPod news or ask or. This is due to think we need -- winning games and outlook word about like the anything. Anything person's all about invisible on the team is that because. Within its sensitive. Have memories the parade through downtown Boston. The first game in the ring ceremony that although things worked. Every sacrifice that each one looked impressive though the issue comes a Mobo was on wait to be more efficient. You're number is point oh will be whatever it is. Take care of the ball and be patient often with yours with Google is -- up about. On -- so oh lead nowhere at that at that in Burnett promised land that it matches.

You mentioned field goal percentage you mentioned three if you didn't mention free throw percentage and I don't collect objects and you with this question because you missed a free throw last night so -- and ask you about that. You've missed I think thirteen or fourteen free throws all season do you approach free throws the same way you approach. Field goals and and by that I mean. When you missed a free throw do you know why you missed it.

Yeah well. Armament -- here.

And this is it is so ludicrous for anyone on mr. freak always remember we gave them mr. free throw. And last year Cleveland on mr. free sort of helped me you know ever thought about. After the fact and in. And even its shipment to restart the first street pro new game Cleveland. In in effect for department. We don't lose in the game but I memoranda firstly though they want it mr. rattled in went out and sold prior -- One out where about first one -- mr. and mrs. second. -- As the hours so -- it's you know to be left the line of our recent change in you know -- ball. You some -- It -- radicals often there's no. Reason to and so what I try to do is distract from source which struck -- switch it. In if you don't swish it at least is going to have a greater chance to go in because obviously the rhythm to it to all sorts which has been perfect so. Desolate I'll worry I'll work on there is dated and the free -- senator. One -- much you like it did not real -- Keep Monday expected -- the ball in the air so. For any young player to play basketball when you were the most shooting free throw it should be the first thing -- moment when you're. When you go from one -- to Mexico and its people army work on that keep the timing down you know you're -- to the ball -- in the game in. Hope to get a reply. It is noted that rhythm back and so last night from new weird Al weird because of missed -- And it was just the band -- And so that's what. Out of that the whole game -- announces some of.

Right here pregame routine is legendary when did it start.

Among my first year in the NBA -- Old -- he told me. That at the young passionately. We plate too many gains that you have to on the wait is he told about the rule which you need to do every single night like you have. Routine you know you can't. Just long -- just be bounces from one place to another fine which are good that indeed go to work on every single day in. So as that start thinking about that upstart relies not start watching all the players of veterans league and probably work on the move that day. The state to move that you -- and for what the shooting -- government and -- at. Point comeback can't do everything in my mind that I want to do because two people lost -- developed -- time the magnitude gym where there's nobody in network which you. To all my own. And work or whatever it half the time and the rush to do it -- about fans in the building and get their own time so the you know by my third year I had -- doubt -- in a two of the guys that will go it was. And you know we reap what shot it and as I did say that anymore statement to be. And then over time but it's cement so you know it's just like my. Studied in -- oh well what might say that my late it is. Mark my lease is that it come out which ended in in. -- at this very. There is a much shooting without -- moral without remorse spot option based on coming days Leo. Probably if we didn't play that might have looked more but if between every shot -- take. Well up next week. That's. I like it must've sent to make net while work.

Austin Celtic Ray Allen is our guest in the Salem -- leadoff spot. Not the get to practice a lot during the season in the NBA but we've heard that Celtics practice practices -- Are pretty competitive. You and Eddie House ever have three point shooting contest during practice.

Yeah we've we've we've competed with that we competed -- to reason. Is -- a rest because. The it had great shooters. He is it's always -- on the other side of the floor and he'd get the statements. That. As much as we'd like compete art competition is need to work much I need to get down to it in the floor and need to work all need to -- Amid it will set you don't -- basket. Because all about who's taken but what would do it will do work on small little room where can help him. You know build up Clinton doc Watson because that they -- in. In some help meet that watching what I'm on all what I need to do from myself or oracle itself and not think the same thing with him this -- well -- Watch -- do what -- it it helps me in my. To socialize my game and think they haven't sent the Ron they're by the audit team has -- That they do great debt helps me in conception not need to -- or two of those so. The great thing have been great -- at eighteen they they do make you better whether they've realized that Watson.

I was -- about this the other day seeing you in DC in January for the inauguration. I gave me this thought it was it was great to see so many MBA players. Either attending as you did or talking about it and really paying attention to it. And I think that you know 1520 years ago was just the opposite they seem to be that fame of professional athletes that. I'm not gonna get involved in politics and I'm not gonna talk politics and it doesn't help me. Do you think that that tide is changing and that that more. Of your colleagues are open to. Being political. --

Has the technology aid is so. Tremendous from the aspect that we ought to have the ability of law to law to. To go on Twitter FaceBook and at the different mediums you know not just the media. You know from meet in UBU. This morning in an interview before actually game. It prints sometimes we have no control you know it's there that columnist. You know which we you do your proactive about your own.

Your own media you know two things of that nature you do we ought to vote -- Broadcast. How they built you see allow you talked about the -- and even here and it mark -- of things that. You know -- in there east in between opinion you know it just right at your own talk show. He has you're broadcasting your computer. So you know it it it definitely makes us more aware it was normal to date that but we also let me educate -- won't talk about. And media. So what's out there. To talk about it and we have the media because were always in an abuse in world -- out -- you -- have to say nothing bad nowadays there. Are becoming. More. In tune on it now what -- quote is all about. Governmental politics being the detonate should it you know we all as a people communicate not think people like it would that would have enough and we're all right all time. For the most part you know that an educated they expo and what's been said and done in this country we try to help. Spur change.

how confident are you that you teammate Kevin Garnett will be with you when the playoffs get under way.

I think. I'm very cup news. Is being good song is. I think now in this invited but as mine mine elect who you know and so ointment so. Knows a -- the feeling is is mentor and that missiles take him physically. And make them physically so I don't think it. It would be they're just excited -- sent it back.

I think we'd be remiss if we let this interview without asking about your son housing adorned. We were all paying attention laster during the NBA finals in that situation Rosalie would -- about the situation that.

Yet but he -- great we got here we that they hospital. -- the -- the -- Sunday morning. And eat it but some repeated his body yet. Substituting. That is when that would give them and he had a dramatic low overnight so. He woke up and I think is his muscles or there -- that he would know what it was in two years old he. The -- longer it is almost like buddy Evan grant he would it was similar. FISA but it like about that precedent scare sweeps and we look at them like. We did not do so we had taken to hospital and in negated just taught -- that. We get the it is in every single moment. Of the day and -- you know we always -- with which we've been told we all we know he's he's got to monitor in the wake up and and make sure we check is a certain level and just special problem because it never stops in an apparent on -- well. A moment and it hit the -- when. It neat for any topic controls so fast and so with them we keep I report this morning.

That ticket receipt book so you know outlook or -- you know anytime appearances. Like those at these especially the tape you know they need on. He's he's been an inspiration now it is. The people here in dispute people felt when other athletes as well so not -- in the --
