Corporate chain reactions so when I decided that. It was seen. The province now -- day in. I'll I'll say that option not sure I'll let it is the that is the but and it -- like that but they wouldn't know a lot that -- -- -- states. -- April a lot of money actually did you gotta make decisions noble -- because it would be. It -- -- that whether it's about wages that they attitude that. You've been there for they were a lot of money -- -- now after. -- read it without being you know what our money. You know -- -- orbit several got a big bucket for -- decision that this is offered. So upgrade at least they -- Any regrets. Now I thought it out and have been about that's while the patrol. But that in since may soon be useful it is just -- You know we're gonna come back here. Oh. Make something great happening you know let it. Before but I don't think -- wouldn't I guarantee to the would prompt OPEC will work but everybody -- Who colts is that the organization where her body. Tilt -- to give back or work but we do every page -- -- I think it's gonna happen truck makers have their recruitment and you know public worried about you know. We talk by eighteen -- I mean look -- -- you know all while won't respect you know what that is in the life. Doc has admitted that in the aftermath of losing game seven in LA it made him rethink perhaps the importance of some of the regular season games and net. You know if you won a few more regular season games may be game seven would have been -- TD garden. In the aftermath of losing game seven in LA did you rethink that at all yourself. I didn't I didn't think about it you know at that time. But not a lot of other upfront about it also blown -- about the last month to month you know. Truly that's why aren't we we can't lose -- Our goal our ask the right now our goal is to be that pregnancies and gene in injured. Note -- set that we. You know we've you love -- it's all about eighteen and you know what people -- will look an -- they're I don't know that. You know that's you know what aren't sensitive we don't have a goal real opus but we -- -- to -- there -- And they should pick that one game in the book four games and all the important in the matter we plays that we need that statement -- -- ourselves. Well look. We can get as they can be turned on topic about you know he'd been -- it well we. We we we do well we will be opens they would go all corporate local where. You know -- you mentioned on LeBron earlier in -- guys got a chance you got spectacle up close. In game one the new Big Three in Miami. And it just watching them their first game they were rusty and they seem likely they've gotten into a rhythm lately. Watch and it made me realize even more what you guys did in 070 wait. Was not easy at all specially with the with the top three players it was it's quite a transition isn't even if you have talented players along with you isn't it tough to. To change the game that you've been playing for the majority of your career. Does not just for a pretty it's that on this single battle would create an article to vote change. The predicted that -- mean you know. On the market -- -- in New York. You know and this tradition it's on what you want because they don't bet on or bringing the old system your husband's opinion -- -- And as these pretty prevalent supper time with -- out. It ain't low -- all of the other open system atlases he's played out west. Which you take all the players when. When they don't change. You know all of insist on your own local old pat as a player with the that you take -- -- got Rio and you know everybody wants the ball. You know at some point you just have this that you don't want me just take you I got the backseat. -- -- -- that -- -- in any effect of these that the opposite you know that that's so that's that's exists. It would be successful because you know without the the ball -- look -- at all in Seattle. You know all you -- by itself well don't we -- it to the boost net. You know we -- the blowout the you got it now because they've -- and so. On scopus. We -- -- -- -- have been probably been known to roll to his role beatable you as the company's. He's played a great past but also -- you bring or Richmond or swap it. Now seen on -- the equipment you don't -- they're not not shut -- has. A shooter couldn't -- on the floor so you know like it if anything. Ray are you guys shooting well because Rondo is doing such a good job distributing or is he doing such a good job distributing because you guys are all shooting so well. Actually -- they -- shoot well like we you know it's all. We. Know we've been the display in a row -- You know live with would be it will outlook to outlook is overrated -- with a slightly out there were written as a political. We missile it'll -- early you know it does seem like which it changed the title game late in even earlier. But just the threat. Just -- All out there be out there you know -- though. You know what it was shack without that you are absolutely people all the air check at the you know you go back outside to have at. The you know there's there's really. Fourteen you -- that he did not it is don't shut counsel -- seen this strong and cigar that countless disabled you're probably not that he's not that there have been hit that well. In the week sights set on the spot but there's so many different. Options that we have been you know you've been checked it says it. You know that's. What. That's played well. And he believes you know lots are all that the lawyer Biden's statement which other runner Obama where I've done -- -- on a look at this. You know array eyes and saw -- you were honored before the season by the Celtics for your charitable work. What does that mean to you when you when you get that type of recognition from your organization. Well the Bill Burton bill that says you're backseat in news that. -- notes. Going to be on tropic. Throughout the world know we have our obligations console and support up to. Sort of background is that -- -- one of the best things -- -- of been in. -- then there's tremendous leadership from -- rock report. Look at all of all. Great things and actually. Is it's unbelievable. Though that all -- you know -- that. So repaying the -- -- it is not -- there are still. That needs -- wanna give back which involves the so. I just want. That need an ownership despite their lead by example so everybody knows that's out there it's it's they've been. Think because it shouldn't open. Of the Celtics and they embrace. What we're working on it to -- -- and so we turned on slander not news so to try to help it. Great money. To generate that weren't called then you know not only the Celtics but it's. The Red Sox -- It's tremendous -- and an agent brought so not artists so the first these reputable so great doubts on the web department.

Were you surprised at the the tweet tweeting of Charlie villain -- and the reaction concerning your teammate Kevin Garnett. Did you think that what Charlie villain -- said was set out on the court it's what Kevin actually said. Well you know there's a lot it is that -- no longer the game and not -- lot of -- -- Monday.

You know you can't -- basketball you know you -- car seat the -- but you know it's well look we. He won't be -- will reduce which on the way to get it it's. And no it's not seeing -- on -- way to get rid you know it's a -- not know well what might like rather short little -- all the programs -- -- me -- -- on a physical work received the united. Not yet it was a -- -- outlook you describe it was at the local. Little bit but some -- at the trash talk you know the -- can't take it -- that that it really. Got a plate when you play with a one of the all time hosts top trash talkers and history I think -- had to play were Payton right.

There's a book by Kevin gill -- called the thousand. And at and it's kind of a murder mystery but it involves mathematics in the factory in theorem it's a lot more interesting and I'm making it sound files can say that attitudes. -- -- -- No I I independent -- but I'm reading the books do you recommend how about this how about this -- re this is a book that. Has something to do with the movie that just came out the movie is called the town and it was based on the book prince of -- and it is it refers to an area.
