Danny Ainge on the Celtics amazing start and the evolution of Rondo

Time for our conversation with any age is brought to you by Alamo laser -- consultants 20/20 vision is great 20/20 -- is better. Visit towards what a happy dot com to find your 20/20. After -- mystery and show you today. We don't OK not bad at all which is talking about this Oden situation and now I've asked you this question a million times. Over the last three years so why not try it and again. Yet a look back on this and it's all worked out great for you guys. You made the right choices you were put the best as it. Three years ago and a draft situation you look packet and say. What would it have been like if this if history went in a slightly different direction.

I've really never -- that -- in my -- I -- you know watching that Kevin Durant played the last couple years wondering what would it and such a special player but. Not much time -- we're grateful for how it all turned out. And fortunate.

He did it again he's teasing me with a Kevin taveras then it's almost as if you gonna take Kevin -- you keep on teased as with the that you won't. I mean do we have to wait till the book comes out and you retire.

You know what I just I just felt like people say it's always easy the second gets everybody in our organization. That that I worked with my top two scouts. My. Mike -- or statistical work John need goggles they they know exactly who we all it's taken it. And you know what.

What did you tell us wanted to tell who -- this Dallas. We're gonna go -- It's the replay an album right hook -- The -- that she had All-Star. It automatically is that. -- black. Last night's game pretty impressive in -- that we've been talking a lot about it today it is an impressive as that first unit right now the ball movement. It's almost as if to -- and fifty or sixty games during the course of the season and.

Not just on here -- still like our team mr. shown. Some -- some signs of greatness. I think we still have a look at the senate -- played down -- competition and and really have the ability to rise at certain situations. But. Overall I'm really happy with -- it seems like any. And ball movement -- just feel like Rashard is making new strides as a player in all aspects of the game. I see -- is really continuing. On here is based Paulson appears shape and those bodies that are. Shape -- it's been a long time. He -- so much credit thing was last year or so. Although things are very good sides and did not bring you bought -- to a team that's already played well he. What he'd keep doing is adding experience in another player that talks realty trust in any situation of the game it is. To help sort.

Brad van -- made a great statement a little bit before he came on he was talking about Rondo has come out the Big Three. But the Celtics and he was then that. The slippage from the Big Three has been minimized because of -- those. Greatness -- just dump him getting that much better has ischemic kept there where they need to pay.

I think so I think that you know achieves just the big screen sorted. Put are you are needed to play a major major role when they first got here and now they. They don't need to play as much -- because -- that it -- and and more scoring punch and I think that it's of of -- them.

You know do one thing that impressed be royal watcher. If you didn't know all the aid to them they run and float down the floor and -- so effectively they don't look they look younger than last year -- effect but they've moved. It without even. Thinking too they move in the right spots and they moved so fluently is so you fully that's their big impression I got from the steamship.

You know what's amazing about ghostly guises. The practice every day and her work on their gains from the it and shoot it I. And get up next shot it's not a prepared missed one wrap our mr. Cheney camp of.

That you know what that's not right it's not right guys we'll speak out against that right now that that's not right. Has he would I do is remember I don't remember you were any filibuster about Arab member our practices and -- we have so much fun we had great teams but. The only ones seem like it was -- it was like Larry occasionally but why it was better and you -- that now is the old man than. I understand that the greatness is because that in you know how they work it. But it's almost to the point where it's almost. Unbelievable but did you KG talk about preparation. And rate be in the professional and Paul worked on his body it almost does not seem that way players are today.

I know that's what I'm saying I mean you read comments are not yet assert some of the broadcast last kind of talked about. Things are upset after the game and and I'm just go and you know we just felt she union Apple's street guys are just I mean it into the art it. I don't know they always have and but those guys from the time -- together. There's a standard. Air trying to get established that maybe even -- competition amongst themselves. And the standard that they're trying to get hit -- and younger players of the median Rashad -- everybody here who realized as well. And now it really doesn't mean you know -- remember. When Larry start you know Perry didn't practice there's my -- I mean you have to teach yourself -- our guys do their job adopt. Thought that's a good job for a patient -- giving it pays off so not allow them some time off work. -- Those routes practices that it out after four games but sites in the you'd pay off. Doctors usage up as well.

So KG hasn't requested -- Request to chill out that this and you start. Trying to turn over. I thought.

Couple years ago when James Posey was here's something that he did that was so beneficial and at times it turns a game around. And that is willing to take that charge willing to put your body out there take the abuse but a lot of time telling you take into a way that using a four point play right here. He changed games around Glen Davis is now leading the league with seventeen taken seventeen of those already. How important is is stuff like that -- that a guy's willing to give the body out here and and take him.

What -- spot you know in most cases the charges that -- blocked shot because most blocked shots a lot of adults and teenagers retained possession. So you delegate ballot your opponent that you get the ball for sure. And but you know Glenn has been Puget and Jermaine has done a great job -- his -- Jermaine has -- local. Charges as well and both those guys that a great job well taken charges. Predicted that you protect it's a huge huge -- its supply.

What makes Glenn so go to uses quick freed is anticipation about. Taken the child.

I think it's anticipation. And a willingness to sacrifice -- spot in some guys can get there but they just don't wanna get yet.

You laugh and who's it gonna take a look at them they can about you know what because something good about one of them that comments to let that Danny made to me about Larry Bird. --

Danny. -- It -- Senator miracle. That. It. I. Think it means that man that they want the white Americans there aren't here. --

You know this is getting back to -- a million are currently in Israel did earlier shows they imagine Jermaine O'Neal. How much of a concern is this we you now and do you have to look at the way. Of being able to pace this out because this is a guy. That you really need when you get into the into the playoffs and -- a long -- away from the play SE one of the -- a regular season. -- you might have to paste this thing out a little.

It really has already started you know -- really hasn't been healthy after a purse or -- these strange yet to -- spot in the kept swelling in. You know for such remains credit he probably -- out there on the court and give -- some. -- And signature came back you know I think Jermaine wanted to get your body else you know. Works or hope that we can buy time here and give him a couple weeks to three weeks from may be for that called the closer to retreat we experts remain -- its strength back in his squad. And that it will help us and I think it everything according to the year we knew that if we -- at these guys and you know we can have to help you every night that's great. No -- wanna -- some nights it's in the UK it and that's so little wrinkle into it you know semi -- Has have a sore shoulders of the -- it. It hurt to have over the years shall work at a company go in. That's a little bit so we're worried about Altria -- guys.

Mr. may just a bit fragile out the surgery -- in the years is a blatantly.

Well -- Jermaine have a lot of where Terence means and so he doesn't have any thing that needs to surgically repaired by. I mean there's just -- chair so he does its swelling in his knee. Occasion. And so you know now we have to you have to monitor.

Well well well documented about Delonte and you know about his condition and things that happen to him. It just seems like this is a great place for him to be at it in his career right now because. He started playing here I think -- veteran group cannot understand. His challenges and seem like there embracing him because they know they if they can harness that. They feel like at I think they feel like they can win with him you think that's the case.

numeric -- I think really. -- In many really understand what kind of player he is they understand that's struggles. Off the court in his life. And they want him to succeed you know how important basketball is to. He's got a group of merchandise around him that it really want him to succeed. And -- to help them succeed.

What seems to get that too because he talked after the game last night about he wasn't sure. Whether he was going to be able to get this opportunity again but this team gave him the opportunity any talk to an awful lot about that he seems that the get a new and I've talked about this numerous times to any about you know how you keep him right now in this good frame of mind. And I know I guess you know you've got a good support system over there and obviously the players talk highly -- lenses that's yeah that's that's a good start I guess.

What do all we can't surrounded Delonte with the right people. It in and help he needs to not only make it through this year -- two problems here. Or. In light off the court. And so he's been very respect he's been hobbled to. But the circumstances that he's put himself and -- And so you know -- as. Are still worried that there's you know we had the fight. A couple weeks ago and -- worry about things like. And now -- the same time I think that the players. Rallied around him and -- can't whole organization have to sort it race they had -- willing to. -- Hiccups along the way in order try to keep -- this year because we know what his intentions are we -- passion for -- game. We know how to help us and we also know how we can help him.

It there's -- this -- legal seafood last night trying to get some of free food. Yeah that's sort of -- these check -- Omnia post game show and told everybody to show the legal seafood they were. Mention max's name and you get a free meal. We know that -- Cabrera thrills of the -- sought legal seafood sent over bill max is looking at right now trying to figure out how available today it says publish. I. The -- tip you off on any of these things he's doing and you get. You know cut off base like everybody else does.

Now I think outpaced the time you'll get near that island and -- it you -- that Harvard statue in you know about you know corporate statute it. There is you know -- perhaps people -- to draw snowball that. The first snowstorm refuse to round.

Oh -- Doesn't really had a lot of women and all the line. He's going to watch he's gonna go back to Harvard Square when the first no balls.

Yeah I can -- any criticism that sit on that same bench and -- to their people postal ball.

Hold on he's an -- mobile does he understand this is Boston. For Obama it's. We'll bring -- out. I it's not know Leo maybe -- resident. Now is. Three mile legal -- numbers you get the snowballs. -- last chance Kevin Durant would you take it. God. Kill me just kill I did any -- agreed earlier but I -- an excellent. Real advantage prism of Boston's which.
