Doc Rivers, C's Head Coach

Welcome back Dennis and Callahan fourth and final hour on this Tuesday doing some AT&T outlined AT&T your world liver. Doc Rivers joins -- that morning -- how -- now to talk -- the -- and go with that -- you know it would record year. It'll be warm -- about it is it about it -- public.

Do you worry about your guys and you have a good do you some good character guys you get good veteran group but when you make a trip like that you were they might. Sneak across the border get in trouble.

A word but Dickerson -- in order to see -- it's it's it's it's you know I don't I'm opening York's lead to older and we couldn't. Try to -- his passport this. -- a -- they're worried about it a big you know I'd like -- overnight and Florida or whatever I just usually do you know we we have great guys and then we'll talk to about it so you. They're not they're concerned but it is you know. You'd rather not leader of --

Eight up with a Red Sox drive through the playoffs the patriots gearing up you know this past month. A got to be honest haven't had a lot of attention to the Celtics capped a give us if you will what you can perceive to be. As out of all the several significant highlights that it to camp at this point I assume Rasheed is part of it may beach Shelden Williams is another will what are we missed and -- so.

what they receive a Marquis Daniels. You know they they really have solidified our spirits. Yeah it it's. Very very rich are very similar to two years ago. Received ability to stretch or. Will be amazing when he part of perk or -- it doesn't really matter. Which one it plays were these -- or you have the -- take parts out. And Marquis Daniels. You know he's he's really good party will -- small forward the completed two -- well. But for the position that incredible ball and it frees up -- so you know DO point Ford remembered appropriately. Gates in Milwaukee where you got footballer and it in my country trip. Our market shops and those basketball they expo will be very similar to us with tech news.

Is Rasheed well those guys and a rough fan's standpoint. The -- look at when he's on the other team and you paid him. Is he gonna be beloved here in Boston and and does not apply to having him be a teammate as opposable opponent.

Yeah. You know saying we need to. Recede -- It has meant a lot. On. An agreed to. And more verbal talk each. Collegiate tournament. But you know a lot of our. That's -- he pitched a complete war. Or terrorist really -- it is. That's cheaper. Interpret and so vote that -- the bill problem. They'll sure going to be a problem sites where. You know you'll get into an exchange with somewhat so all of strikes a deal with that that that night court abused its market.

And most guys -- it in every sport and any level when they get mad when they lose their head. They kind of lose their game a little bit in I made the comparison that John McEnroe Rasheed Wallace. Seems like he can get mad loses temper and still. Playing well still be at the top of his games -- is that the way you see is that accurate.

Yeah that he had at least you can get distracted as well sometimes that they can go to distracted but for the most part absolutely. I -- cabinet they're similar in that way they need or don't agent. It's what drives it's just fuel and in some ways and so you know obviously there's a line you crossed don't want -- vehicle that you want of the plate with a promotion. That's part of this maker.

Did you think it would continue to perspective the day. That Rasheed Wallace as a Celtic became a real possibility did you think that initially that it was just. -- whimsical thing that wasn't really gonna happen and did -- take that recruiting trip for you to convince you that that that really could happen.

Well I thought that he wanted to become a substitute art error. Rumors -- in the that it was just let -- Orlando's. He didn't tell brought his teammates. It's been like played war. But I thought future which really important thought it was needed by us you know receiving monetary. Visits to San Antonio and -- around yet important and there are -- poured into this was we can't let him get -- to worry. You know you don't care it's warm it's mostly Texans need to place and you know I just thought we had to make create eight greater impact them. And I can tell you what I'd left the meeting. That they had thought we had a but are you still word intellectual aren't the country.

Doc -- presentation go was that scripted or add lip.

Ingraham I mean now not -- I started out talk to a moment. Did he enjoyed it and in early and yet. Which had a lot to room and went to talk to. Yeah agent and I. Is he in the week warriors are really backed out of let the players you're talking Kevin. As you know led to talk to. And it was very powerful. It what is it about he'd been our goal in -- and Paul were just good so. I didn't have to do much and heated up in March which you know do artistic layers. So. Receive or in the Celtics.

You go into this camp that in the Rajon Rondo. He's here for a year is here for a good -- firm may -- not much longer maybe only a few more weeks I mean what is the your sense on. On how much longer Rajon Rondo will be your point --

Audits are are resolved -- elect until. Early duplicate. This process. He's gone through a process all players built a -- You know likely to maturity process and ability to -- players go through. It'll be behind in that department at all I just which you know he's growing. It's like never had a black mark against -- It. You know maturity is exactly as part of his process of growing property Stewart. He's been scared or. -- In in general. -- do whatever he did yesterday to do and you regard you know so. Yeah -- I would be there's a price. He's not allowed to.

I've asked you this before but it's in it's worth asking again is he one of those point guards who will develop an outside shot we've seen. It happened to a number of guys including a Magic Johnson maybe the best ever. Get good from the outside in their pin is there career progressed you think -- happen would Rachelle Willie -- ever have three point range.

Are you would automobile object -- it will absolutely true. When you've got to dish out this year it's it's you make dramatic changes to looks good. It's article a year and it's gonna keep getting better. That it regardless of about Rondo is perceived and put in the Tara -- were or Gary. He's he's he's troubled are all summer. Back and forth to Atlanta. -- our price. I think he's got great work you conceded today so yeah. You know I don't think anyone could ever be your article from an average to -- great -- but they. They can become pretty -- and that's all rubber meets if it you to develop that may register a shot and and taken the occasional police. It can be taught to do.

When you worry about age and -- is -- October February April may. And when you have an aging team when do you worry about the effects of --

Well you know every -- narrative practice. Well to on the seat and obviously. You just don't know our with our group. It's it's gonna take cheaper not you know our guys. Are in great shape they always have been inducted legitimate chance to plate. It's been years less brilliant and so I'd like -- as far as being -- quarter -- At least we ever ordered treatment of target that they are great condition Kenny Perry and you know bit that'll give the chance of dig through to seek help these.

Strong. Block every where rail and so I told myself during the summer I was going to be in the best shape I've ever been in. I don't call recall those fat Ray Allen days DO.

You have new leader. Couldn't and appropriate he had a heart problem occurred Arnold. Right you have almost zero bodied record. But again you know he's such a pro. And he understands. That conditioning -- are DOD you'd give it the more condition you have to be years. And it led to injuries and and -- raised it's there.

A year you concerns about Kevin's knee alleviated completely or you. Are we over that.

Yeah I Arum I take part in Arctic. You comeback from an injury like that are immediately where you missed an extended period -- More concerned about the other reached the top pop current back -- hamstring tools like. -- So those figures are more concerned about army there are basic concerns. You -- there's a possibility. -- to detect out of practice street and again here and they are. But overall the best news. From care that you don't need. Our and that's that's great news not like -- it is -- over the last two years technique and yet not so that -- troop.

I assumed additional Rasheed and Shelden Williams Marquis Daniels -- even further monitor the miniature guide to playing. Mix and match and in and get guys rested to extend their viability throughout the course of the season fair to say.

Derek is fair. You know you deterrent with the rest -- Is that there's a limit. It does it if you know what I mean if you played all peers mostly 28 minutes and I that's probably not be. You know it doesn't allow him to. You know Austrian rhythm thing to do it than what he likes it that on the floor. So there's going to be meeting Internet -- you know you know historically look at all the great players who who. Are crossed her eighties spaced illustrated -- are outdated -- I think if you ask each one of them they would hire enough about that and -- always made a 38 now which of it is too much. You know and so we're gonna try to keep that 3533. Number. And that would be true.

It got injuries aside and get guys healthy and all that when you pull the paper on your back pocket on the first day of training camp and the -- things I wanna fix. What did you tell your team wanted to fix from last year what we're areas that you wanted to be better.

Look duke did -- straight to -- but I thought we can improve defensively. Number one there are had told them as good as we've been the last two years. You know on election airport we slipped a little bit obviously wants Kevin went down in the Arab. -- I thought we had to refocus -- being a great because. The second part of what we have to do with speaker of the basketball in the third period. I thought offensively. This year the ball more and I thought. Last year the ball stopped a lot we held onto the ball to try to make a home boy. And you know we just moved the ball and play together or state office with will be -- it took over the prefix. But typical that the candidate. -- And you know when you bring in different agent. You know different chemistry -- the Hokies. What you're seeking is itself quickly addicted. --

Obviously a locker what blocker and begins what was ahead gains last year obviously they. Is either of those guys gonna be a big contributor this year who's who looks like there are closer than the other now --

Well do they are now recoverability and you don't get it out a week. It's a Specter and it took -- and little that accident obviously opens growth. But it's got to talk right now operating it'll start to get on the floor. You know we approach the words were good. Great veterans and they'll sort of be tough for the economic war but not open to do do -- future -- Yes and threw off a scoop and it and yes rule. -- It's office still you know supporters and so that's -- on -- much better than it was last year.

touched on team chemistry and and I'm wondering to someone as both separates as Rasheed someone. Who set in his ways who's a veteran. You know Lewis who's been around the -- couple that somebody -- lycra sheets defer to the atmosphere that the Big Three has this sort of defined in that in that locker room.

What what could receive as always nervous you know he's been a great expert about eight. You know to router. Chauncey Tayshaun Prince and Detroit. You know he's so he's been an All-Star. But he's really been a great role -- it has coaches are all local needs and wants and he didn't do it along with the good nobody else it to and it's and he's a great teammate sparse playing together. And play and direct way epic in group that from the Carolina where. A plane burst bubble right wait it out of it is easy that in that depart.

We're not suggesting that in the clubhouse he's a shy retiring wallflower oriented as --

Although we have a new woke up early moderately -- We don't have. Footage and personality got in our locker room with. Rated all the German and Rondo and Eddie House and Rasheed debated. And baby and if reliably locker room. And an act of electability.

Well speaking of shy and retiring Shaq in Cleveland is -- idea. Is -- a downside to this can he can even. Disrupt things. In Cleveland and disrupt the the progress through the maturity of LeBron James or are they clearly the favorite going to this year because Shaq.

That would be -- Obama -- involved worked well equipment as probably the best plumber. This person there and in the -- saying is that because Shaq I think that the parker. Additional Jermareo long tradition has really. A -- industry recognition as well you know we look at how that affects. And in which -- Obviously. Low to our. Oh yeah and be addressing. A book and -- or burdensome and definitely will have to wait.

The babies all changed significantly this year. That really updated and it's probably object obviously although they'll probably similar to what they were before tip in with certain. No -- which is just keep growing. To which sort of the person on and off the floor. Offensively. We want him to do to say things thank you -- you -- to post more when he's playing with recede because we want which put DARPA which the market and you know when he gets big match or back to approach so and that -- we don't you know we want to look at external -- the high turn over dark. At times slash -- when he tried to do too much and you know we wanna convince -- ineptitude -- you know it's shops open -- could not move the ball.

Before let's go -- you is you're like a requirement for each Celtic to have like a lawn sign a bumper sticker do you have to -- campaign for the bosses as he runs for the Senate here.

Yeah I think we do -- have a great deterrent no auto army. I've opened the door and it did you go to Polaroid. -- But. You know unfortunately for but I don't know yet a lot of registered voters were to -- the flight of a lot of good deployed.

I'd like to Selig big baby out there -- lawn sign I mean when you know Holden sign at the polls that might be kind of intimidating.

We have we have we need intimidation. To detect -- elected I think I do -- shot -- it took real quick you have to guard Richard absolutely. Intimidating especially Beijing.

Eight -- his conversation with you about things on basketball's going to be awhile till 24 gets back on the year to have some important. -- India which start your. HO AAR DER -- sick people who worked things in their house that its its part yeah writes it's it's a guilty pleasures so you wanna run your team yard. So as a series recording I think you'll enjoy -- and it's -- kind of way.

Well I don't want -- that okay but you've got W I get the title so laboratory at the feet what types of things that people order.

Yeah you you won't think Kevin Garnett nearly as crazy as he seems to be when you seeded -- would you wanna -- darker when they took the cameras in the Gazprom now and not only possible the -- discover this for himself the -- by the -- one other -- send Dickerson over the border and then switch the team hotel. Before you drag it out sent tickets and over the border and then call the cops and -- Here it is this -- just get out of Iraq -- across the border we should just get out there popular port of the year thanks for about for the time. Backyard Doc Rivers -- the Santelli element AT&T outline AT&T your world delivered.
