Paul Pierce, Celtics Captain

Welcome back at Dennis and Callahan Paul Pierce alongside. Paula does take a competitive person like you to go over seven game loss in the NBA. A week a month. How I don't I've got no other you know it's tough you know could you envision that. And see if he could do is different naming game would have been different outcome. It also has armed -- think about it is an all. I don't think you forget. What's the process stew in your bedroom for a couple of days and -- then don't shave for referral file or don't -- them on the mother's help. I've talked to people for a long time -- -- -- in basketball club and you know I sort of got -- -- -- to as -- -- wanna leave the house and you wanna -- -- because dispelled -- then about the but. You know as I got back into the gym and work in just use motivations of sort of loosen them from there. Did you feel like last season was the final run this team was gonna have and you kind of surprised look around and see the same crew back together indeed with more more. Legal guys like check in that. Jermaine O'Neal. Now let's pause at the run on this. You know we stroke would have been doing a regular season at home and I'll say you know what on the thirteen from the beginning not so people that we are more built for the playoffs in the regular season because. You don't have oven down athletes. High -- that you know a lot of teams in India that competes and one day. Any given night. We've got the break -- -- scene and released album put us in the play Nelson on -- that we could be successful and as far as hunting this year in -- I'm glad that we and it's his pick up the guys that we it is commonly known to us. To seeing these guys back for another year -- Give him that was huge can get him and sentiment was this was this useful now. When you look around the east you're you're gonna be the underdogs now even though you're the defending eastern champs. Do you look at Miami and the way you say Jeff Van Gundy does he picks are gonna win 72 and you know when like for the next five titles. You like that situation where all the pressure's on them and not so much on the defending champs here. Well not been in both situations you know -- -- we all got together this summer we were wrong. On favorites we have put on the cover every magazine has truly gone -- available with this underdog and as so. -- a little they're really good thing the markets and you you laughing when you give great players like that together that they don't figure out how to work well together so. As far as tradition on an army games and only -- on hometown of the only but the other thing you want and it'll be pretty good thing. Because it came together the way it did play it -- -- did anybody not affiliated with Miami or not a fan of Miami basketball dislikes that basketball team. Within the ranks of the NBA players dislike what happened down in Miami. Well you know I'll say it molybdenum also wanna have -- on interest to us. The well the that is in the where basketball because you you -- it. Top players in agreement gather and it just seems like -- computer -- -- -- now you hear rumors -- Carmelo and crisp on when you go to New York. So you -- in the start of something to come with on superstar wanna play with each other on how to look at them as a team behavior who just you know -- it's oysters on the -- -- they do. What are you and ray in KG learn about playing. With each other that those three still get to find out. Letting other dropping Eagles at the door is -- the communications going to be day. You know one another on and off the course of me being an -- and -- -- theory -- -- as well as ray got -- remember talking to have about 3045 minutes that day. Then we're having traded. It was like we just continuously tell someone what we need to do we we drop our egos we see you know this is. Not one person's being this is anybody's -- stocks team hold on -- when the sentence and so you know if they can do that. Learn passed the -- to one another and -- about -- and they got a great chance someone will. What happens in the huddle and you say you're up one -- up to and his you know five seconds ten seconds left. You guys are on defense Miami's own who do you think is getting the ball be thanks -- in the shot. Well the way we've done we've done by completing you know easily swung hard and and a time when our team is usually know me right so restful and games -- -- -- and saying is going to be these reconnaissance mapping our way in the the same thing happened in Miami if LeBron going that kind. Could very well be him as well as ways. Or bonds but he sort of step back I mean when you look at that cover sports -- any kind of step back and said this is wings team. You think you can keep that up and deferring that to wade in and it's and may be passing. When in the past few technical Russia. Well. In order to put them to be successful somebody else takes them back and LeBron decided to take that step back so. You know they can do that. And if Chris can take cobol stands back from what he was in Toronto than they have a good chance -- playing well together -- you know somebody have to take them back. You know everybody can't be -- now. Based on the bumpy ride it was the regular season and then how all came together lined up properly for the for the postseason you made a good point your team was built sort of for the postseason. Having said that looking at what you have now. Do you look at the regular season and say maybe it's not critical but we bust our ask every single like try to get the first or second seed we can be the fourth of the fifth of the six and still do damage to the playoffs. Non I don't look at -- I know -- know I'll still must be a better regular season team and we -- last year wants to play better home because of the season to deal. I mean what we did last year is an exception to rule and everything doesn't go the regular season in the arms. The way we did so. The port thing got a -- -- it's the regular season so when you get to the playoffs are prepared me we entertainment -- -- -- experience by. By no means when -- say that's the way to go. Is it is your locker room big enough for the preview and now Shaquille. That personalities pretty largely walks in that room -- And we still got -- the fear that I'm -- locker room only and his don't feel any. Quite nicely I mean like I say before you know the guys with the Eagles we met those at the door. You know they were -- one of the more. Entertaining locker rooms in the league this year. What I did you find out Youkilis was coming to Boston and would -- think initially did you did you believe that. While found out like you guys found out there no real speculation. And I know. You know but upcoming weeks. And in when we signed a mosque -- because -- opting. Yet at the big emphasis on that we need you know felt like we -- and -- more depth and finally made it. Be looking at second championship so you can never have so many -- especially akin to being hurt you know you never know when he's going to be back so. I was Islam I was just threw for them become -- us -- Miami. -- -- less well one -- check question can you guess how much he's made in his career I have the numbers right here how much money he's made in his career. The basketball -- 200 million off the court -- another 150 million. Basketball wise this is gone country -- you. 290846146.

Well I'll I guess I won't get there but actually we've tested to you're doing okay let's see you do can you finish career here I mean. No one does anymore. Well want soon hopefully you know this contrary -- for years and me at this -- -- final -- must trade value as we keep going down Ross topic I'll be here.
