Doc Rivers

Fourth and final -- Dennis and Callahan -- Thursday conversation with Doc Rivers -- brought to you by -- attention -- check out -- market's great selection of new bikes arriving daily. The skis away just yet agreement by -- not happening at a couple days I'll -- market bike since 1971 and by Garrity stone and granite of love these people want hard rock and Salem New Hampshire whether it's residential or commercial when you think stone thing Garrity Garrity stone dot com. Good morning red side.

Doc Larkin and good morning I'm I'm so well all -- wide awake right now. Not -- block. You have different but it low pay whatever it about 240 and they are you know conditions like last whether it.

brawls it was a nice landing major everybody is awake when the gun on the ground --

Bloop -- unbelievable I don't did you don't play you don't bother me at all you've been watching film but I have to -- you guys have -- lead doesn't last night on the planet kind of turned on 24 because they hadn't watched.

Hit that it -- at at at at at the it's it's turning into a soap opera -- we need more action here don't think.

They're Gado visited -- the very -- Galapagos about the military duke -- you know it's funny Dario. I don't know what part of but I that took him out of assault weapons but. There's a timeout slob with a little bit Paramount look up -- people have been pretty. I walked off court I just put my -- got to -- both laughable and while it's very.

And you begin the game missing I think about 41 points from -- Jefferson. So I'm sort of a done deal there offensively.

Did it -- the -- billionaire Michael rare hard knew today would be a decent day earlier on. You know the only thing I -- much across they have veteran players to -- really have a bit of a very good. Earl origins in the Ruben Patterson they've been around to their -- play those situations but I thought thought it does for the most part played pretty well so I could live with that.

At this may be a real stupid statement but I think last night might actually sort of prove my point here if Earl Boykins were six foot five instead of five foot five. I'd -- Michael Jordan.

Roger there's a period he's moving to the very good player watch. It reminded me of so much as well -- part yet you know barely -- but very tough to make of Bolivia setup upshot last.

I think that the that the that the.

do you think Milwaukee I don't your team aside. By the Milwaukee Bucks doing everything they can to win each game they play.

You know I told -- players left anybody who I don't know very well who didn't play last night in the it legitimately injured so I just have to go by match but course you know the Dotel walked up -- could come on are you originally about it two hardenne correctly you're injured.

I was gonna say Michael Redd much did did you know Michael Redd had I don't know what the injury is -- they described it.

Oh ripped up peppers sure it did rip with a 1000003 it's mostly about which direction everything -- sort of a little hair -- The look spirit -- that they -- five minutes of before it went out there all the guys in Atlantic. Since the sense of I watched the film about 40 Bogut played -- performing well yeah. At least seven didn't do it fair about it he would do so that --

Or what what what do you think of that -- does it is it legitimate your mind to it sell these guys out in hopes of getting it worse record and you guys.

Well it depends boom you know -- is that at all -- yeah being because yours been out of the playoffs. Will we be playing got a couple of our guys have been probably -- if that was the playoffs and I think all the respective met met just Milwaukee. I think their -- you know which we are hoping they had done that right now watched. Yeah you know -- work around butler is out for the year and it looks like there -- to regroup Miguel Garcia. Now everybody want to play wanted in the border open dreary view that nobody dreamed about all worked up in this statement. Who -- you start doing different things to do it to Washington. The player -- have felt pretty good good news.

Now Chicago Chicago whenever Washington it would be there right right right.

How do you keep your guys focused on winning when they know that. And Lotta people in the cubs organization aren't interested in winning.

Well let's talk about what is right matter -- we're talking about improving yeah visit but you know our practices because on the last few days. Last Bridget -- shoot around. We only -- dark. Proper practice and then we had died late in the -- apart as comical yesterday -- a detriment to yell at a time. Detroit goal unfortunately didn't go on the floor because we get inside the -- so in the middle of our shoot around the document showed up that it could side. They -- we put him on the floor so we're doing a lot of won awards stuff a lot of real breeze government practices at all little worked up into doing trading -- You know like after the MR I resorted judo and Gerald green but we -- three great -- were given practice sort of -- what we call a little down if -- green where yet to really become. Good -- I'd -- I didn't really important it was great in practice have been in the game just went to -- but it. You know it -- what the crowd got there at the bottom backed up. And so you know outdoor -- go to -- to Jordan over Clement. Toward the part -- the -- to shoot around in what little or no power that's within hopes tomorrow night or Friday night. Did you do it a little bit better because if you did this. Now have been important we're still make sure that made up for the bad news in the locker replica.

So -- by your estimation -- Pinkney practiced how many minutes -- Celtic uniform with the ball in hand yesterday in preparation for that game. 20 minutes obviously you're not -- and play -- 43 is this.

You don't know how but we we we put into place you know I kind of got hurt very very stove report from the stroke of Eric. On what to do. A couple more plays kind of match what is best. And that's what we're ray left -- I didn't. Credit network it is being played tremendous basketball there was very reluctant -- along really nicely this the guy who never played him. -- BA. At an -- does this also hampered the very. This is simple life he's playing for. You don't want to know party late how emotionally work and it's proving that you visit it's one of the lead of about toward they're particularly painful credit they -- there's a lot of Kevin for the world who want to government and there inflicted yeah that it never forget that.

So so Delonte goes down Scalabrine is al pierce and Jefferson take their 41 points and and and and don't play a centrally you were on the floor with nobody. With more than three years of NBA experience how does that manifest itself what do you see out there that indicates that none of these guys has more than three years of experience.

Over the lot of players yeah that -- that's so bad -- reduces the border -- divinity often been helping because you know. You can work on -- all of the world would be that the two don't know what they're going to work there and so it being dead. You know is of the best bard to visit did you self control what I thought that happens a lot less.

You about expressed your desire to get your contract extended -- publicly what. What's the motivation for the team I mean everyone knows no one gives anything less than -- do what's what what -- yeah.

division I really no -- about it but it is going to -- itself you know we go to break talks. You know I've just been and I about it and -- do you figure that's been blown been negotiated cavuto but don't want to do that until the season. But I don't really back concerned about it physical work.

So you think they'll do whole wide he had needed Doug do you when you played did you know what the coach's contract situation was two players look at you differently when they know you have long term security.

Look at the big garage -- you know and obviously you -- nothing happened is that not going to be your. I'll make a break during either if you orbited the out of the budget we're going to be very accurate picture and and so. I think federal picture itself as well but it players directed it departed but it it been for years it'd probably when you're going to that last year under contract -- more difficult to go to to. Good job Vince but looking every bit. -- in the papers and ended at times convicted more effective or less effective up to you to go to. Obviously what our guys battled through that of the problem I think of all that didn't do we have here and all the things that almost -- open and very recently both brought up. If the title we broaden the ball an offensive bubble they -- their release should be at this was written with guys that unbelievable character though that was sort of play every -- about our local.

You know you're gonna look. Really smart if you get one of the top two picks because they're going to really help. And next year you're gonna say look how much we've improved there was going to say boy that -- coach.

It always worked for a word of our win total lap they're elbow you remember the -- that he drove should they I think he won like 30 days in San Antonio. And ever wrong with a lot of and they did nor the Trojan. The following year they get bigger problems than they wanted to do and and no matter what coach of the year in his lap that I didn't do anything different. You know there's sort of.

A dog we know there are names you simply can't say it will you can actually say in the discussion 15000 dollars to say them. But I'm wondering is that restriction by David -- on the NBA. Tied to win the Celtics season officially ends or two Wendy's people declare it went well when are you allowed open your mouth and and actually mentioned some names.

I don't know but my guess would be one one delivered the players -- to convince talked about it because he's made himself available but not until --

So -- what you guys are done. -- what do you think it Josh McRoberts and big baby down and LSU.

Well I'd like it -- declared but I don't go to to ever sign the dogs are still there.

And let let's not let's look ahead to next your little because that that came up -- a couple questions first of all do you of the medical staff have an accurate assessment of where Tony Allen is in his rehab Howell engaged he'll be next year this basketball team.

Market there and doing great been fully expect him to be worn out of them by trying to enter really and -- the best they -- desperate to hear ya know because you know as much as we live obviously there's also that so would be -- but as much we -- all the other guys. Tony Allen is so important to our basketball -- which of -- it is it is stuff that it has been sent. You know every night guard the best two or three. On the other team's roster and not revenue put that in credible straight. Well enough offensively and in another government thing that can break reporter and creative on shots so it is really important throat and force --

And have a -- mistaken I believe on this program you called Tony Allen your very best practice player day in and day out in the gym.

They're particularly have great passion that we need you know the hardest part is -- the -- of our -- in the -- bureau of short. Of into the point that -- do these you have to. Sit him down sometimes in practice what would hurt himself. Antonio there's very much like that that you need guys like that especially when it's when your core -- and it's really important.

Now my other question about next year is what is Gerald have to do this year to make the same kind of leaps in improvement that al did from last year to this year.

Well I don't know that bet every bit a lot of things sure bet to do read a bit more than you did you have done there is he's tried to sleep. Focus all the things that he can't do any syndicate field every day wanting to do and defensively. Would be the main thing I mean that you obviously if it started getting attacked -- the other and then that's going to happen. You know I don't know god if there's the picture will be the year yet. You know there's there's no up. Well with young guys just don't know what the maturity comes as met with a basketball comes in are the people but it. It's all the basketball into that dale -- I think you have to mature person been for the basketball. Control.

It would doc how does how does a player work in the offseason and getting better defensively -- obviously it was a mid range jumper you wanted to work on it -- at filed a boat to work on the left hand the right hand he works -- that -- work and defensive stuff and help an out recognizing.

I picked it through the minds in fact that you have to deter mine to -- You know you could see right now the general clearly want you better defender. And any inning that it will -- just trying but it also -- the mind. Where you'd you'd take it personally when guys score you know -- they can beat them when you're on benefits instead of -- in bad habit that less. Old -- from Baird just Cordelia you know and do I think that's. I have brilliant minds that that summer where when he's playing more don't want where is playing five on five that the day. He's going to shut down boat which you don't fully but you can't do that in the become the mindset and I think that's where yet to graduate through before we can even start interpreted it.

A final question your Doctor Who was more disappointed in the a call to turn that Jeremiah rivers -- Doc Rivers.

All at the Jeremiah yeah all of this supported by a you know -- very and there are more realistic I would would orbit slept but today American leader trouble the serve I was really know it's -- looked event their wares to -- let them the the atmosphere effective. And it just no way to put that in between 5050000. -- developed about about it

you have a major that you are the computer but we get them right.

Great answer you know but the other thing -- would really feel certain that they lost. Because -- It is no big it would about hoosiers upset because they didn't give their best idea yeah. And that's what you know you can deduct that from their -- there's been that good result you know that -- are what they've got to sit and watch. They're not thought. This -- been so great. Gerald green and al Jefferson and penchant for this has been great for -- that I had experience -- guard.

You know does a great run and you know what I thought Georgetown chased away a lot of people looked at Georgetown and that John Thompson the third. Carried himself with a lot more class than John Thompson junior not all the guys. Seem to just just they were endearing they were likeable and in the past Georgetown was not like that at all.

Though that the differences of being I like both put their presence around though because that we've done doesn't mean you're the Romanov who talk about how. You have to be a tough player mentally. It does that -- junior is if the coach you. Who talked about the last couldn't -- but school in it all the other stuff about it it did great combination now for my throughout -- loved the fact they're both for a.

A -- mentioned Alan Gerald what's in the game -- think thinking a little but the same thing and I know there's really no answer to this but what would you estimate. Al Jefferson and Gerald greens level of ability to control a game or a final four like that if they were playing in the final four would they be -- dominant at this point

I don't think you would idiotic now I think now know right now first reported playing it would be more to do you have believed yeah the debate would be you know but I -- two guys -- and I didn't debate if you're sort of right right right and so yeah they knew would be.

Our -- good talking to get some sleep Lowe talked this week are -- Barrett our Richard Gardner whether that we got the -- Well the field tiger the field.

I don't I got darker but well below the it to other guys sleepers so Cabrera which -- there is no better vehicle.

Battle over -- could be considered -- for that would have great great book authored tiger field. Oh I think you're always -- victory -- a partner that but I think you always have to dictatorial Belgian.

Yet I mean they're more. The field is more likely to win but tigers morally find out Augusta national tigers fun when you have him in the pool -- he's a fun gotta root for because -- never goes away he's always there on Sunday.

It just I don't say -- Sergio. I double dog -- Doc Rivers brought to you by -- market attention cyclist check out -- market's great selection of new bikes arriving daily -- market -- since 1971 and like Garrity stalingrad of Woburn Rockland and Salem New Hampshire whether it's residential or commercial when you think stone think Garrity Garrity stone dot com
