Paul Pierce, Celtics Forward

Let's begin our Celtics player of the week program that continues all season long joining us right now. Is the captain and the truth Paul Pierce joins us on the AT&T hot -- find out what's possible with the nation's fastest mobile broadband network. AT&T everything possible -- Well I did -- Well that's sort of about BI. It follows telling hotel and telling tale that you told me on Friday that -- think Dale Arnold is the best radio host that you ever heard him. On either coast either Los Angeles high quality and he felt that now it did you not tell me that on Friday or not -- Right up there -- off. See now that normally I just figured he lies right to my thanks also. Now ball -- okay there's good and then there's the opposite figured out what happened last night how old. Did you lose you -- did you play Cleveland State last night was at the Cleveland Cavaliers. They have a lot glory all of opener. About The Who -- As they played great. -- what they do. Is it. Possible Paulie you guys took them lightly last night. I hate to use our lives and they went with it is that you know we had our world at it this way -- witnesses that this is. It was. Analysts it's a limited sample size paused as one game without LeBron James you guys have faced Cleveland many times over the years in the regular season and in the post season how would you compare what you saw last night offensively. Versus. That offense with the project. Well it'll double. Offers little more predictable because notebook is all in all pretty much -- or. You know this thing. The front. Quote. The Mars on -- work -- their -- -- awful. It's. You've got some experience to draw on here a few years ago when when the Big Three was put together hearing UN KG and ray. And you guys had to figure out how to coexist how to make that the group better than the individual parts. The UC the Miami Heat being able that to make the same adjustments you guys had to make in your individual games eventually down there in Miami. It was neat about. With the Kevin and -- got it all operating. If there. You know where -- oh right he's great player without the ball. You know also Kevin you know Kevin could play through Kevin or. Greater sense. An awful lot of well ought to be a lot of -- On their case they have. On ways. We have all in all. You know you wanna have ever they act. Out there in the course away -- well after the -- I think there's more they. There's -- out their roles who won't even be solved all their. Facilitators. Or if in the -- like they lost in. Let me. You got there on their careers in the all of that motivate you must border with the we. You know you just mentioned it it is seems to me. That even when you have these supremely talented teams whether it's it's do you guys and 070 wait or the Miami Heat now or even if you. Go to the Olympics and talk about these dream team that seems. It is hard to figure out how to play with guys. Who have that much ability and that much talent and to do so many things for you know. What would you feel like he just got it with with Kevin and ray who was it a practice was it five practices with that the regular season. If it does it Munich that they. -- together to talk about it you know week that we always have all communication. All the clothes and they want we. You know right aren't you afraid of right off like. The pretty easily because. It was. Dollar this is your -- You know all of the put up great numbers like you know -- -- It would do well. We. That more it's over. What. What they. Good thing about it offensive player that ever did for -- home. -- of in the -- always constantly in the -- What's the biggest sacrifice you made personally. They got on our a lot more ability. On the opposite problem. Once one way or. In this -- The was. Not happened yet. But aren't elected he'd be trapped in the bottle but. -- -- that sort of thing because I thought. Neither they've gotten more this all about whether this one we're -- all -- go off. Good. When you walked out of the Staples Center back in June and game seven was over in the season was over. Did you envision that the band would be back together this year or did it surprise you that everybody was back in place. They can all start -- -- -- in -- It not come back. All the plays. Really it was all -- -- believe it doc doesn't come back. -- radio probably would've been dog. Don't know all of whether it be that. A lot of question marks and at all it was. -- program code and system almost. Well. I know you you have said all along you wanted to begin and end your career with the Celtics. You have the opportunity how close did it ever come if dot hadn't been here is there a chance you might not about. That -- with a this kind of apple. Is that almost. -- our way my option this would mark. Could. It would have been. -- masses. You know vote. Worked out. And -- for reasons. Like currently popular over here. The ways it. -- -- Tractor trailer before you -- -- -- That. That would it. You're abroad -- well. Attractive probably. Layers you. Yet that is here. Right where. All the look at you know won't. That's that's the biggest drops it that's the that's a slap in the face everybody Ivester former teammate -- combined. No aren't well lot of his -- over the -- industry. There's. Dog hall where their customers all Hispanic. That's not a storm degree room I can't believe I -- and years. Obviously his book by you know anyone know. Now after is that you you mentioned doctor in the and how it all -- with him and it's funny how how long you've got hot how far along you guys have come because I remember watching. You -- the first year doc came here. And you -- that they do birthdays around the same time you're very use similar personalities. And I said man these guys. That they might just have a fist fight on the court -- -- -- times. This about how how will how far fewer dock have come as a as a player and coach. And we won't let my. On the -- The elements of the -- was -- My ego and see -- the players that play well based on what. It was a about. In the -- also on short later. -- -- -- It. Work well. We don't have to tell anybody that the size of the personality and the size of the -- Shaquille O'Neal what does he bring to the locker room dynamic for this team. The one the one got -- -- Make it better ordered all cordoned. -- -- ever. Her. You know and then you know -- and Kevin. Seven release. There -- a lot of things. Toward. The senate. All. Is the present. We know. -- Practices like for you guys who have just look at that. Your roster and I said with a deal yesterday you go 1011. Deepen all these guys. Comply AM and -- sounds like a simple thing but a lot of teams are in a position where you have. The really good players as your eighth ninth and intense man with a -- practice. And Eric. We. In Auburn the -- of and that's. If there's nothing under rated and it right. On -- Well on -- Of course. -- All right well. It. What was it like -- that's spectacle and an in game one. LeBron James Dwyane Wade Chris Bosh on the town and you see those guys in a Miami Heat uniform for the first time what was that like for your. Look like they've got. Got into the outfield or the last year -- one. In. And that is who or well one thing. People talk about 80000 those things. How about. Talent on the on the latest in. This all way. In the trio that we've ever seen him in India is. Because. You know you got way too. Indeed it VP caliber player. Bosh also wrong and that our. That that's I don't know one thing is of the matter that the best. I got to be honest with the don't know the NBA the way Michael does I love the watch the game and of the what you play I can't figure out which -- do to get charged in this game anymore. That. I can't get the -- That this city is because. While not great not only did you not get the call but I thought -- deserved. But then you can't be demonstrative when you don't like to call -- -- run around somewhere that they would ante up afterwards. Like. Almost. What the -- -- a little bit more lenient I think in the regular season. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- The techsters -- yesterday is it that. He thinks are high because as a citizen I know call that it cannot and had to take LeBron James absolutely you -- that. To say that no call about call of volunteers that no call. He's one of the if a lot of calls. Well because you're in all black united. Well. Is that if it was doubtful.
