Doc Rivers, Celtics Head Coach

What about Dennis and Callahan. We do conversation -- Doc Rivers is brought to you by Lexus of Watertown you'll be more impressed of the Alexis. Is the customer satisfaction you received from general manager bill usery and everybody at Lexus of Watertown good morning coach doc -- today. We're doing very well yeah a nice win last night and that's the little you know low blow okay people's put out there but my sense is. That was a game -- The three and a half weeks ago when you were squandering double digit leads you might have probably would have lost. Yeah okay and it's no problem reported that depend on today because we're helping low post player embed it didn't play embedded so. You know that -- true. But no it's now and so that's all our focus. So when 21 gets reduced to seven and then you took it back up to whatever was double digits yet again what was the difference health aside in terms of how your team responded to that to that wiggling away heavily. Mo and number one Manhattan and getting no -- and so you don't panic about it but -- independent small. I didn't want to let go you have to be related -- And so we have the Mets look to build. You know and and so are both relevant and important work to lose extend the lead back. The dark when you said we're close whatever was two weeks ago and took some -- we discussed last week with the what do you mean it's specifically. And are you now there are you still just close. -- and -- -- and obviously haven't had anybody with video beer right now are between. Oh with a twelve students wouldn't wear it. Well you movement and that's almost always better to consider a vote of seven was running out of shape well. And god you know it's -- you. With twenty implies no. We were completely you know. Although no Kevin goes down -- -- combat. Markets -- down. It is an absolutely welcome home street two men they know conveniently. Everybody forgot about that. They're blue moon gonna open but I you know problem right yeah and Kevin wasn't right to it just took time remote program. Movement local targeting. Because so many different guys -- played so many different world would almost as well. We know also mentioned some and doing both we lost them because of that. And that's all it's finally getting back -- -- suburban. So tell me do a better rhythm going back a -- like going back. But that it would total about food and understood the toll on anybody and that's less well. So you have to be healthy or at least. This healthy in the post season now have a chance is that fair to say. -- Put the lakers. If -- -- and then bogus all about helping nobler. RN and they won a bunch of these little Kobe but not. -- go to Google saw -- Manhattan for a moment independent. Good ability. It would struggle -- it's it's no different. And if Tim Duncan and no immune to know and went down on the struggle. This little differently where. You know independent assembly throughout. But it doesn't appear like Kevin Garnett. Is you know his old self or is going to be any time soon is that fair to say certainly has the heart but they focused last night ESPN did. On him in the offensive boards and it appeared to. And and they said flat out he just doesn't have the spring doesn't have the in the ability to get up and in -- in and get after it like he did two years ago. More often than anybody else let them go out to -- was completely healthy -- and the mandatory. But when. News continues right now -- -- right now in both so you could slow slow it wouldn't include bank who now debt -- could run the world well. Would make in the outside the study due this Wednesday that slow Mo. The video display millionaire -- you you've got a little bit about. But I'm sure a lot better than wrote a month ago. -- they would. Ya gonna say you I know you prefer not to go to the injuries but with I think eleven games to go. Is this on schedule a pretty good time. To you know get that rust off get them back in playing shape have the injuries go away. Is just about what you need to get ready for the policies and another eleven games of what we've seen in the last week an effort to. Most legitimate questions well are limited -- -- -- two months ago you know when we got to get over the bad. We get to get a ton of bad we have to do is open. Look he didn't go to to dissident that decision time. We have been a problem you know you know demand is still bound to split. He and I'd like a -- -- -- that -- If I can't lose eleven days that would be -- -- are you able to discern the difference between the most exciting and entertaining player in the NBA versus the most talented. And and how might that breakdown in your mind individually with names. I don't know of him. Looked well amid bowl. Yes yeah well abroad -- I happen agree with you we had this discussion this morning. Most peoples of LeBron may be the best player in the league Kobe we've would be 11 day but I find abroad. More exciting more entertaining to watch and -- I don't know what you do were not. -- aside. Who is the best that who's the most entertaining to watch -- I think you might have won among your team. Yeah yeah. A bit. Definitely. Been an. There's so much for the day. And that touted. As the excited. About about the. How many other point guards in the NBA would you prefer to have run your team not named. -- Oh well I'm -- but I just thought I could just -- -- bill. But took no blood poured nobody even looked at another -- don't build the report broken lose you know weeks in the double over the last few days. And then Williams live in and been told Billups that no no -- -- so you might -- What is his most impressive attribute. That makes the head coach go awhile is at the speed is of the district distribution the peripheral vision. The path things passing skills apparently -- bowl fans we saw last night for the defense in the steals the rebounding or read you something else what impresses you the most of news. Rather large skill set. Obviously the incidents from the combination no. We have guys that wouldn't that he plays. And out of this and didn't. Those -- unbelievable visit quote our. Well with those stupid. Are you okay with -- those flair for the dramatic a left handed behind the back bounce pass by the way which was absolutely perfect Tony Allen. Well whenever. When it doesn't work America after the data. Mean tribesmen in broad market slipped and read it instead of students simple. You know the timing of those -- and sometimes dangerous nor that. You know bet happened in the fourth quarter with a little bit as well within the normal routine school is make sure I'm. -- -- -- -- The -- Villanova guard. How does personnel we have -- -- personalities and almost always told him about a bad in the brawl that -- -- it will comply with the but. Not always valued above all you know the play. Ever been to this day. And that's the only concern I have. Have you ever seen him smile. -- -- I voted no vote. It's. You know I -- and simplicity. They didn't move -- the -- so I'm glad let good it's a bit we didn't do so. -- himself with the -- and write a book that I've been limited to okay. Load up all of them and that's what -- williams' slender balloon blow. And I -- benefit that is slow during the day and that's the weapons throughout the approval or. That is so much better bet than whether -- bill so you improvement -- The -- is sick going to be hard to get the rest you need for your your veterans. When clearly third and I don't scoreboard watch but third place matters -- you have to agree that. Third place means something here so these last eleven games are not exactly just plan out the -- -- Melvin out I'm still -- them know -- must've -- a snowstorm took thirty minutes for the most potent form and it's confirmed dead. But no. It is what it is we try to put ourselves in this -- -- -- and so -- -- -- -- But also there's -- to help -- -- more important. And in the blues Club for Growth that -- you have to be -- of nepotism and yet to be both of those things where it. It up which of the bottom four and let's just leave it to where they are right now Milwaukee Charlotte Miami or Toronto. The best chance of upsetting somebody in the top four do you think. I don't know if you don't know. Five weeks ago in the world would approach Ronald yeah -- advocates are now would they be Milwaukee. I've -- my hamsters everybody because. -- you're going to assume its commitment to these. The best player in the series is all of the other -- That's up into the -- megawatt. So I don't know no. Children's could be athleticism but they didn't play didn't so well and struggled to -- that -- Wouldn't it about 210 this so similar that. -- little -- -- it in a lot of ways so well the ball games in the long run that they don't want to let go play better than all the. A statistically you had your way with them last night the nuggets in this question of design find out what they head coach values the most points in the paint. You got a 58 to 28 edge second -- chance points 23 to eight. Fast break points nineteen to sixteen. And offensive rebounds seventeen to eight which while those four steps would you put the gold star next to and say that's what I'm talking about guys. Welcome to the yeah are clearly in. -- little vaulted to -- out there is -- would smoke there's been small students will most of the political advantage on the on the glass last night. Going into the game golden boot focused on towards the plane but. Well settled operative chip select that is recommended. We -- detect them. We -- try. To be attributed. Below -- problem -- you committed to try to blots out. But I felt good it was double that last. Eight since you have a pointing out how and devastating injuries can be. And how it affected your team do you to buy that logic do you think Michigan State and West Virginia they screwed here in the tournament. Because they lost key guys. Well yeah -- -- -- -- but again you know you can win a couple -- good about it when Kevin towers went down I think -- Obama was beautiful day. -- -- -- QU one a two day patented grosjean who overheard 220 day period. But in college I think this spoke what is. Women bode well it is devastating -- in this instance take this probably more devastating -- West Virginians. Western Europe the star. We're missions they both of them have been because -- star. So moving him over they'll. You know the government -- over the years ago. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Exactly mr. upset special 'cause we're all rooting for the underdogs now brackets -- shot we just. The root for the northern Iowa's and Cornell which one has the best shot near mine. Okay global destiny to vote that's still available. Towards living up to play divested. And construction. -- -- Did that candidates close. I don't Cornell went dead yeah. So and and that's what that's -- -- of road upset of that -- -- Cornell has seventeen years. You know to Kentucky's -- -- and basically I think it's an interesting matchup. Pay exactly how obnoxious the -- Robinson Washington beat Marquette. Who are available at how bad the edit. President of the incident the precedent though part of adoptees that in. Let rebounded. Have to do it that are legitimate market demand remote that the -- of the day equipment at the list of. 86 games at home in the next twelve days means no airports no flights none of the traveled what does that mean view as a team as a practical matters like -- say. Well I didn't know. What to do they also know today's the treatment very and then opened play but after that we actually get some practice days -- and no it's gonna we're playing well boom -- and been practicing right I've seen some of the things -- was lifted. Because we haven't had -- practice so it was a chance to do it right. And -- -- -- -- address all of the same time so there was some good and who would stretch for a. Practiced mostly for the new guys or for everybody. I think everybody -- I've -- just look at all around but that happens. When you go to restore -- -- days you know that's there's. You -- the coach. That you need to work or. You call Tony now on the player of the game last night is outstanding in twenty minutes why can't he do that -- and a more consistent basis. Well I don't know -- -- and a lot of it had been more injuries -- You know open it wouldn't do it Donovan where -- very good let them get it wasn't the issue. Although we didn't want to do so much and it turned the ball over and no hard to all of our turnover this clip is from the bitch. So when he -- are reluctant player less -- But what do you have Baghdad that would put consistently reduce your opponent of the -- that invented the commitment will defend. You know I've been saying that formulas. They let the student about the stability -- and move everybody went to bed -- position I didn't I didn't really bought into that. We want the government melt and stuff look at other -- let America be different then before. Well that was stretches. Okay darkest -- the echo store technologies coach's question of the week coach's questions brought to you by echo store technology's helping companies prevent costly. Time consuming IT problem that the Apple Store dot com that's EC HO ST OR. Dot com Apollo from FaceBook says they -- Are you to continue to let -- take a three point shot and does he know he's dead last in the league at 28%. Well I don't know who don't let up in smoke is included continue to lead and then -- -- yes that will continue -- implicit. What would surely did of the boom -- devoted to all public obviously over the last -- Stated. Particularly like the -- I thought oh and dog. Took a quick -- discipline. I think that would stick in the second -- really with a five W over computers let. I think that the solution that could -- mrs. Four of them would be good three point shooter in years. -- to be -- the other -- you know maybe five years ago and debate that's I don't legitimate conservative or. And we could lure you into watching borders have you seen Pacific yet on HBO. I so wanted to go to -- That is true. You districts and you're recording it as a series you're gonna watch it right. I don't know what happened was quoted at -- -- recorded -- big of a load the governor of the competitive. -- -- a little. But I market. I've individually control. Hey we were discussing earlier on the -- and here up playing on Christmas playing on holidays well -- -- thought as a Family Guy having the NBA so -- on Christmas Day.
