At the Staples Center with media player availability and -- Voice of the Boston Celtics on Comcast sports net New England Mike Gorman joins -- A little bit concerned -- but he was taken out like lotion shortly that was sanitized and went through step in the studio -- -- credit and that way we'll -- Yes just do what they -- the -- just -- might have spent. A tradition monarchos -- -- you I'd sit down next to parents that you'd -- to take it is the CB growth. Britannia wait that long glands it's on the track I. Always when we spent a lot of time trying to dissect and analyze because that's would you do Mike when you've -- three days to figure this all out. We've talked about defense versus offense we've talked about. Two veteran teams right now -- been through the circuit before is raising we're missing here is there anything that that that that hasn't been talked about with these two teams. I'm sure that's that you've covered at all I think the biggest thing to me is the is the fifth different styles play. I don't think this is going to be a long series I think the series is over 51 radio I do do. War. Go up more could be over reports that on the don't for the army and what he would modernize its well see I think you know now I'm I'm channeling my partner here. I think the whistles are going to be a big factor as to how this series is called it's. Where is OK okay if -- -- -- -- If if this series is called really tight I think with a particular problems of the series is not involved really tight. I think -- ways that major problem. In terms of physical game so you're not gonna take one team in the other in five games want to felt okay but I I was going in my fence if you wanted to you know I don't know that I -- with -- within the old and I want -- I want you know I have the Celtics in six over Cleveland and Overland did you really kind of on Iran right now I'm well because you you know at Miami five noted you're at Miami in six. The one thing I've noticed -- want to have noticed and I think it was a little bit different when you look back two years ago. The Celtics have the attention of the opponent in those first two games maybe it's the fact that deploying them on the road for these three series certainly the last two. They have come out and played great the first even Cleveland series of Fuhrman with you should want it -- one should. American morning is right and I I don't think I can ever remember going into a final weren't the 232 format. Benefited more of the team that was starting on the download that it as the felt I'd agree I agree that it was done Mike got a one Ashley is is also imperative we talk about the -- -- -- -- The fact of about Tony Allen. Well whether we get from toilet which Tony Allen shows up. I think we get a good Tony Allen I do I think an easy healthy enough to do that might well I think he's healthy enough to give us everything he has I think Tony. And and you know max I know this could with sit there every game you guys who watched him on TV every night. Yet Tony no knows he can make mistakes now he wanted to prevent. And and that was something right and outplayed Tony a lot during his career as soon as he turned the ball over he just got down on himself. He thought he was coming out of the game and most that Egypt and -- the now Tony has been freed by doctor just go play. And as a result I think he he gives us that. He's not a Kobe stopper but he certainly is a Kobe bought over he'll he'll make Kobe work hard and he wants to work for shots and I think -- you know I was used I was files you're pretty up. During the course of the season be honest with you of the honest and frank this is an honest and frank show with sanitize -- you be frank W I'm a very good. Is there. Any time during the course of the season that you really believe this this team could get Iraq together. And do what they're doing right now or did you think like most people. Okay they're beaten up they're injured did give us their best they just don't have it. Com be Arthur Arthur -- camp army obviously for the first 2728 games I did think that's about the team's credit in the 2018. And it just kind of came apart and we became a 272017. Over the last 54 games over their last 54 game period. I mean I I'm -- on golf and. But the last. They're about the last two and an even the last couple weeks maybe even worse I think of -- oh yeah oh yes reviews that let me use the name a few blocks away at have a. -- that this seven effect. Maybe regularly rented the regular season useless now because way after Zito is we have to watch you with on the ground unleashed here -- Jessica bill -- is as -- cringing right now as theater that back. But you know -- -- -- know -- you know he's. And buy new equipment problem thankfully. Thirty years like it it's now life topics and you know I think we all world to believe you can't flip the switch on but -- That's -- and and they did. At the -- you know you're right I mean that's when the things we talked about before is that. And -- and I were talking -- there we said that. We think that if they want this one it will be more special maintenance inning when they have because nobody game which is an obelisk we'll bring you sit that there was. That well all our players believe that we go ahead and I think that that's a bunch of the -- -- At some point. I think the most optimistic so -- Spain. Player coach all your -- -- that they can like whitlock of the year that much is but -- -- that you'll click about the during the trading deadline. They were actually contemplating dealing away Ray Allen and moving the furniture market where. Well Mike -- -- is -- -- -- -- -- I was to a round 69 as a broadcaster would you like the parallel the 6069 Celtics in that. They they spent most of the second half the season resting guys getting guys healthy. They finished fourth place -- these guys and I just went ahead one caveat into that one and that's from talking. To a couple of those players. They all thought they could do it and they were resting Russell because they thought he missed mine yup they just ordered to give him rest of the policies and Sam Jones same thing. They gave him -- that it was at this yeah you know further. Yeah yeah -- with a Garnett could do -- -- -- copiers I would like when they when they got guys back they still they still parcel of playing time differently than they might have otherwise. They did but but acting -- point is well made it in 69 they were taking healthy guys -- -- This year -- the older guys now the older guys but health now we got -- on -- which is worse than I.
