Doc Rivers and Sean Grande preview Celtics-Pacers tonight

As Celtics are presented by Lexus continues from the -- second night of the back to back or maybe just one long night then you would put -- our conversation with the head coach. I didn't address yet. When we get through -- programs. Our conversation with a coach brought to you by Harvard Pilgrim Health Care health care work better in the preamble like to talk about the schedule. Lastly. Let's move on to. It is your job knowing that -- it is your job however to say. In the heat of the moment. Guys were still in this game even if your coaching -- a reality your logic says otherwise because of the unique nature of the point last night. If you really think that was in the -- possibility.

Our religion here you know -- looked at the first sheriff we cut it to 21 right before halftime you know didn't sound. Like a lot but that couldn't at six points ultimately was huge for us and so now you look at that one quarter and the third quarter Begin to ten -- nine and -- ago. Did you felt like you had a chance to win the game.

The it's the subtle little thing -- it's impossible for us really spent a lot of time on radio following play. But there seem to be where we're receiving a lot of does that kind of positive energy on the bench that you want as it was going.

Rubin was in it though it's really in the group to before -- this group and there's third in the belief in each -- cheer for each other and I thought -- Who. You really want you know each one mr. bravery. On the res -- for each one. All the wanna do when they wanna play well -- and you want to. While these -- all the he didn't -- Ago it was drafted him each one each one's playing -- school and I don't know of the have your own team retort.

And it was man you've been saying again in addition to things like I really like this team when people can turn their heads. Even saying with -- just make he can shoot he just making a couple of shots he'd get himself going cause he's so close and boy did he ever make Orlando pay for not starting.

The you know that was the case of lieutenant stats. Probably you know we have a good person who's going into the game portion of -- doom three. -- benefit for us have seen him practice and shoot every day knowing that he can make history.

Because it was new and exciting and -- very excited about each one works that way and I just you know -- in the game again that the replay in the overnight and watching. He -- seem to have for 45000 minutes -- you be watching Kevin Garnett. Played Dwight Howard which was not the idea ever when he first got in the game it's eight Korean pre season against the big bodied center. And it's almost like then the Kevin Garnett for years ago didn't know how to do that against this Kevin Garnett. Does discipline was much better.

Yeah he's so much crap you are now you know yeah. Four years ago we probably only relied on their pluses and now he uses that wasn't boring. And is best -- Q and it just makes him a tough period I thought both games -- are straight up 101 on the right with interest.

You've had a few of these games the last couple years these the very difficult travel back to backs and have not gone well but including a couple of them against Indiana. Does it help in this situation that you have played this team twice and you don't even have any internal pressure about trying to do walk through rampant that this shall play.

Yet that does help you know you know just that extra hour off of lakes will help -- this is a tough turnaround. You know we did and it's time that we got in it at the playing a very Horton gained. But you know I think her garden room.

How -- who have that was in your mind. Knowing is -- significant conference game and it's one of these teams you're chasing when the league got 22123. Last night did I would about it.

Much there and I thought about it more in the third quarter you know and you know -- a didn't really have a number in mind but I knew there was a report in the fourth quarter. That we had cut the -- well. -- into the third in the we -- in the game so that all went out of the way.

Two years ago not the Miami beat three team that year before that one O'Sullivan playoffs. They were number two defense team in the league without looking at individual guys that have a ton of guys that jumped off the pages all defensive. Team type players. Indiana is the top defense team in the league right now quality doing that.

Well it's a multiple knows exactly there's there's an -- when guys have a couple guys that are really good defenders -- of the public defender to bring Dante Jones in off the bench -- had become a much rather than. Haven't said that they're just a great help team decrypt and there are.

Let it in the law. When inning whenever you know. Athletic -- it. What are the ones. At that goes double in pacers next on the Herb Chambers WEEI Celtics radio network.
