Welcome back Dennis and Callahan on our conversation -- Doc Rivers has brought you by Lexus of watered down ability more impressive -- Alexis is the customer satisfaction. You'll receive from the man over their general manager -- UC and everyone that Lexus of Watertown joining us on AT and he got line. AT and to AT&T a bit of three G experience. -- head coach of the Boston -- good morning doctor how are yet. Minority we're doing very well I don't know if you rate or rank victories on some sort of sliding scale you've got 25 of them so far this year. -- would last night's rate. World you know. Details and waited tradition retire obviously ID during the time where at all today we have it. Didn't look like we lost and then and then over the back so. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Does come back also injuries. Still missing some news just been so many disruptions thirteen right now. You know to have a -- continuity with a Denton -- -- are all part -- This is my psychology 101 question -- -- seems to me the last night's game. Was all about overcoming human nature or giving into human nature and you guys overcame it when you were down two point six seconds left leg left to well play. And he gave in to thinking may have won the game with point six seconds to play fair enough. At that -- but I -- think they played poised Darby played hard. Although the last player -- didn't do as well to do. You are -- that -- our guys took it was called a timeout. Tell it took you know fifteen seconds to get them in Colorado because there's -- -- -- -- and you know that much which group deploys conceive them back to nobody they have -- and you know just an excuse deployed him. A software to work when everything works and looks great. You know just -- so many moving parts but that's stuff that happened so -- only deploy okay. I know I should know this dog but. Have you does that play in the past and it work. Yeah we we read it wants Martin last year two years ago. Met sure. And it didn't work it were two point -- -- Rondo was opened. We. We do to test -- markets. Yeah exactly we went in the overtime and so. When we work and I've played occasionally you know like once every no to practices so. It was good all of the only gonna commit to pass the W someone else's bed and a little bit of good although does there. What if there's some less than point six does that require all point six seconds to get that I wrote. How -- better with points or because it is just adapt. You know even at that point three have a chance and they'll run groups using the best -- to do it because he's excited that went to keep an outdoor work and that's special we try to do is. Who you know when you -- -- you know surprisingly because no one digital rollout customer you didn't. And so you -- those. But Paul has the hardest part of the job right. -- are -- yeah. You know are the -- could withdraw because he's such a threat. As a lawyer you know they rarely put a big order. There are a lot of times you're electrocuted Golden State where we put into dudes on the ball. You know teams don't wanna do bear just just there's in the title -- back -- get the ball to the -- we put his priorities and that's that's what we use. How do you call it in practice so the defense doesn't know you're gonna run that lake is obviously they are gonna run at the gonna defend -- do you secretly like you have a sign or something that all the understands that the offense has in the defense doesn't in practice. We're just disguised in a machine we we did that society plays that can run like two different ways that we just a bit different formation. And that's what we -- impractical. Do you have a name Florida -- -- not to draw that up on the on the board when you're. On the little clip -- thing when you're -- in that timeout region. Did because we put guys in the spot remember. Skeletal on the floor argues igniting and you Richard Evans on the floor. In the sort of base so you have to put different guys orbited the open again and sergeant -- going to be did not go so what's gonna talk louder I was just -- -- situation. Last dumb question from me on this play do you do you. Do most teams do UN most teams usually run screens or OPEC's Ron got off other guys in that situation I've -- than usual and no one picked anybody. Yeah that's you know video tutorials. LP drawl we believe. If you run near everyone -- -- a period a better half second delay due to a second ago. And you know referee did. When you watch that play there was that one its citizens -- two guys part of around each other known each other and then. You know the biggest part of that what did you but it it was -- -- be running out. The at a quarter. Took Cuban don't know what. A lot of times. You know practice -- it doesn't work you know Kevin. Will will not about a on the defense of Sidon and you'll pubic -- So what you're saying it's it's it's really all about spacing right to me you gotta make the -- to make a play. Yeah no doubt. No -- this race is important as well every element -- you know wherever you run support and ago. Yet nobody was happier about that -- -- and ran out last night it directory. -- -- Comcast's and he nominated Rondell appears for the game ball. He's very happy with the had been of the -- of it deterred out of about when they. Bogota plates ready. Aren't accustomed to put the Mets product doesn't with Dwyane -- You know I actually have a rule would myself. Try and achieve the best defender up deploy automated flight and you know that played at we've got to studio it was mostly the church -- -- weight rate and in our we're gonna we're. The point where -- out of the -- But he still made a play anyway so strip. You know the analogy is always made when teams go on runs back and forth against one another like a heavyweight fight with guys exchanged hay makers. That happens when you wanna when he won two of four run or they go on a 28 to seven run. Is that because you or they have gone cold or they've stepped up their defense and of Bobby accommodation but generally which is on the causes -- -- thing causes those runs stock. Well I had -- just probably accommodation not thought last night when they made their run. We stop. Playing with emotional Alter our but it resulted herbal. Which allowed them to -- the clintons and then they made shots in the -- attack on the glass. Slot but -- the company isn't there they're. Our rug was which was -- In order -- but I thought we want went straight to where it looked like we get to the twelve stops in the world. -- -- -- -- Will you do any and lobbying any campaign to get Rondo on the All-Star team I assume you think he belongs on their this year. Don't -- real but it's going to be -- But it never an orderly obviously in the console I'll call everybody wants -- -- close to the Thai border patrols to protest the protest vote. Or actually -- appropriate member you know. And great because rays have won -- You know it's like all the content and automatically always aren't. And in the -- to publicly doubted Egypt and lobbied for. Even the casual observers of basketball know what makes a good point guard when you see it you just know what. But to specifically help us understand why not only is Rajon Rondo a good point guard. He's an entertaining one to watches it is that the cousy flare you know in 2010 what is it dock. Yep that's where -- mean. You enjoy the flares the arms by a but he does inevitably it's match or to port numbers that it sometimes it is to enforce. -- -- great -- it is great vision. The sensibly you make are unbelievable. Steals and rebounds and you know sort of detail in the watchman does have shrugged out of watched -- agreed to spirit. And I think people -- it. You mentioned lobbying for perks we got a question for about him coaching and teaching park to be a tough. Shut down defender is that easier or harder than coaching and teaching -- controls emotions and his anger out there. Well I would say yeah go behavior and emotions are tougher. It doesn't matter for them. And -- in the different bracket -- him. Predicament natural appropriate emotional are you react quickly. You know not only. To rested -- -- and so that's been. Very difficult thus far that we haven't done a good double part of that he -- better the last cup ordinary. But we get to keep -- -- -- -- The looks at duke of just. Yeah and at and I and I know you've talked about it somebody comes over after a technical raptors got out of his game disease say I know I know I'm sorry results. I yeah -- approach means even yesterday's. NATO jester and -- Robert Ball a in -- took about walked over to our company to better that's a bookmark ought to. No it's a conscious. Talk is try to get better at it. You know with workable. It -- where she doesn't apologize right -- that. Don't do yet productive because about the public democracy is no absolutely you have on the floor observed -- dug into the tech to observe the married and that it doesn't work. Also received -- itself himself don't worry I'm their commitment to. The. -- we know you have a tough job -- teaching these -- defense and and and make an adjustments and drawn up plays. But if you as a coach ever had to deal -- your star player playing video poker at halftime because or or drawn guns on the teammate. Which apparently is what Gilbert Arenas is coaches in Washington meant to deal with. No but I know. -- just group obviously we yet they're one group they were -- very difficult without Maybin made just roll bands such one. A man let's say you are -- -- -- news trip to go to Durham. These -- don't -- And you know we're settlement. Did you think they'll learn it we always ask this question after Plaxico Belarus after. Donte' Stallworth to athletes learned is there a lesson to be learned here will they learn now if indeed Arenas is already gonna get find. Or suspended lose a 15040. Some thousand a game. What do they try to void his contract will that be a wake up call for every player in the NBA. Yeah it would be. But two days ago. There's going to be other guys a couple of wrote all the sports that the -- silly things just. You know it's the way it is. But there will be so far there's no doubt about it and so. You know Internet negative and to a positive there there's some guys or learn the gold medal and I addicted attempted to back here is obviously. Big -- and all that awful. Also when you make mistake apologize exit immediately yeah. And so. That that you are you still back up by other means that a wave anywhere are there were and so could -- them to less. Why the fascination with the gun culture and only -- I'm sure those two guys with the the wizard -- they'll want to a packet eight. -- -- don't wanna say it in released dramatic rhubarb -- ultra Catholic. -- just the -- sports. -- in general I don't. I'm not a -- dire armadillo with a cup and and he's always Serb. They're more people get hurt by owning guns don't economic Newton new -- -- just give it -- political former protection. Articulate. Brings more more. I just don't give it up -- -- players that. But of some -- believe that it you know that it's the right and is that -- -- -- Is it a problem them for put Flip Saunders that is. Best player is the crazy one I mean is easier few crazy players of the bench player. -- -- -- you hear me. The government of pop music -- years ago would present won't we restore growth -- Roland. You would say -- when your best player is a leader. And everyone else although Ryan. The best player of the crazy. -- that the problems and you know absolutely that's that's the problem in Washington because. When your best player you know is regarded the immigration -- as the leader by audio. Earlier this morning -- breaking down Arenas is a 111 million dollar contract and he is going to get he's going to lose a game check. 147000. Dollars a game I wondered out loud if you'll remember. On your most financially viable contract nearest -- it was toward the end I don't know whenever it was what the most money you may the -- what's. My last year we took Baghdad two contracts. What from the -- went from the spurs and it. Quote like a little bit over -- million. Our house -- last night you know my -- -- execute 5000 dollars well. According to Bloomberg and an insult to gay and. And you're one point five came in 96 right 95 insects. Not that long to go there -- -- -- how to get like a -- Quickly ago. Then exploded and diplomatic all the players that -- attempt. Word everybody so. But board and you lose that much money I don't know about a million desperate -- Oh. Yeah I ordered 47 that was at a show it is not a healthy thing that guys are making twenty million a year I know it's it's good for them and their -- But the fact that a guy like Arenas is make and that kind of go and probably has no fear. You know game checker a fine is that healthy. Law I don't know it's helped him I mean there's dives toward our team were to repeat you know Kevin Garnett being. One who -- you know student to -- a role model for a leak. Paula as well and -- so you know -- -- -- -- always dependent did you. Right guided to agreed where was person that's always -- But I don't juror public make of them that much money it it has to happen and. Prior to this incident does the league make it clear at the beginning of the season they -- guys around to tell you about what the rules are no Major League Baseball does this. Are all of your guys before this Arenas thing hit the fan where the guns aren't allowed you know at the practice facility in the arena or any Celtics sponsored event. -- Job. They have at least two an unlikely war. Different times where they bring -- representative recover candidates -- due to -- Butte. That they have a broad broad -- Bob. Conduct. About finances. So they give you education. So that the there's no excuses why you don't know. Were you ever suspended in your career. I was fire fighting. Who like there's a change all right our bedding part of that actually. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- For -- games. Out of games select 100 dollars and get a -- area to do it but there. Are. Actually. So back in those days at a hundred dollars again it comes to 200 bucks or something right. Look like that where we're gonna look at itself as I said Domonique estimates and Dominic last year. Like for the magic for the whole year he made 250 grand it's like. The game and a half for Gilbert Arenas. It's amazing when you go back. You know just. It you'll recognize that there were to make a difference. Yeah but your man you don't okay as a coach the right -- A of America where there are dot literate literally. We wrap it up with the -- store technology coaches question of the week. The coach's questions brought you by echostar technologies helping companies prevent costly time consuming IT problems is that echo -- up on the ECH -- low. ST OR dot com. This is from Jason -- that and he submitted this to us on our FaceBook deal. Donna we all know what is lost by not having KG in the lineup what do you gain by having Rasheed starting. Well this what you gain. Rhythm. Conditions. You know it's -- yes they would meet your blessing in disguise Kidman didn't -- Which is always different come. Receipt playing the minute cities -- As did the -- breached very well but more importantly it's it's it's. Pursuit in his progress along as far as learning the continuity of timing in the -- With all the different players on our team. So I think it actually in some ways to benefit. Our. And told her no more bad -- it's at the movies is that the deal. But it's have a -- are a lot about. I'd duck a duck and you'll docket this week.
