For the final hour Dennis and Callahan John -- a pro alongside -- good pal Tommy hides in the Celtic hall of Famer has hit some very. Big shots in his career and tomorrow night the subsequent call upon them to get one more. -- Thomas is like a three point quarter hook shot their -- you sing tomorrow night in Secaucus New Jersey the morning Tom.
I you don't job I apologize and what's going on but it just press only. That's been you gotta take shot and you win the game or you walk -- that salute your opponent. At all like it's registered a bad shot. I like taking with season be helpful to. Absolutely she's declared lecture are men everybody says you gotta take the red head with -- from the government that sort of.
It's -- in your estimation how how critical visible long term viability this franchise to get one or two.
Well all these guys a potential. Franchise type players that you can build a franchise -- or maybe 1012 years. So it's kind of important but it is not -- I'd change that -- will be franchise player both would be going into this -- using college. But have very very young players but they have all the potential to to be -- big time petition to enable.
Tom we all know about or need to rant but you have the mind many experts feel like this is a deep drafted fact the sky won't fault the Celtics don't get one or two they can still compensate there.
They say that -- the Celtics held me that they they feel like get a player even at check in are so. It is very deep then this -- second couple ballclub those two guys maybe the only franchise type players -- draft they say is going to help the club no matter where they fall.
It's -- if you were still stop that are on the sidelines in your plaid coat the coach of the Boston Celtics in the owners' game you to listen -- we discussed number one. You want the big kid -- or the all the scoring machine Kevin Durant.
I think you'd want the big kids. Well though everytime I watch some question it was on the bench ultra and he did have that sensational game in the tournament and which says they lost but at first time may have sort really turned emotional but he did have a broken hand and have used so but he's seven feet and he's quick. Yeah he looks like he can score but he looks like he could rebound and defend.
You call al Jefferson one of the top five post players in the league yet that's pretty high praise. And if you build around him with a no no derail it seems to -- out there an automatic playoff team would you agree
you know one challenges if you get Oden is what happens to -- and because he -- It's said they guide -- and scored NATO and you'd just such election but al Jeb Bush and every year -- out if you were coming out of that trip this year he might be number one then. So letting people in around him is going to be pretty difficult but I'm sure that Doc Rivers and -- angel mind away.
It's -- do do you see the window of opportunity closing here with Paul Pierce you know getting on in his career that that these kids need to mature quickly that the guy that you bring in your needs to contribute in a certain amount of years because the big -- Paul -- stay in Boston.
Well sure you broke or it just reminds me -- Robinson. And Duncan come together and Robinson was having his troubles there and not get things done -- like to get it done and Duncan comes along and and it's the type basketball so or PS will benefit from these guys will they get but I liked what they did last year there was some young players were probably the only team in the league has the use. And experience wrapped into one package because -- what happened with all the injuries ministries and so they are already at a nucleus for a winning team might think and you Puerto what but he really terrific players with them and they go to the top level quickly.
Why is Doc Rivers the right fit this did.
Well he's kept patient and that's what your team pass the hat and he's brought out the best in all the -- players we've let coaches that didn't want to play young -- back refused to let him play is kept the optic. Veteran players but added that the future of the Celtics wrapped around -- very young players and and directed a terrific job getting -- the field in the NBA and how they could best compete.
Are Tommy Ellis -- get their tomorrow night with a swagger look at what the high Wagner Tiger Woods is anger in there.
I'm R Abbott Jersey guy I automatically when I get that Jersey -- swagger back to back -- at all well puppet government probably sticking him. It might license clearly don't get -- one of the first two.
Donna good luck tomorrow night thanks for coming on my best to help them by the -- I -- like Tommy Johnson during the Dennis and Callahan program received gift cards are great friends that golfers warehouse golfers wear out your game just got better on what you on -- get an address to send Yeltsin and good luck tomorrow night my best -- down the road Tom.
