So that -- represented by Lexus continued threat regardless of it's and the Detroit Pistons final game of the home stand a fun game in the long run your -- our conversation with and -- Prosecutors or by Harvard Pilgrim Health Care and health care work better even in the celtics' locker room. As we speak. What differentiates. Your world what differentiates a dominant from -- that we seem to have it. From. One that is not so much with the single biggest characteristic which.

Well I think if this one obviously. When he's in the open court he's attacking you know. We can play half court game Rondo attacks QB they're effective. So that that would be. Number one in in the defense that's allowed it be fair because when ethernet there so much. It's definitely going to be effective in a lot of ways so that would be it from Ian and I figure he is that this -- Run through and probably -- marketing -- we get multiples. Indeed a model robbery were effective if we're following. Turn them all over and they're making shots and now with half court -- I think it really affects on.

And figure that we're terrible run defense in the second on a couple levels but obviously it always begins with Kevin Garnett whose. Leading you in its place but that doesn't necessarily mean -- plea too many right that's where the other guys and -- enough. Yeah that's misleading too yeah he's not missed game. So. If fewer. Trying not to mislead them via live I don't do that whatever the numbers do I returned today. He's not lead the team in minutes averaged per. Would you not say however they Kevin -- the only players -- team does not as the game is something I'm opening happy you know. That you would certainly expect -- authors have gotten out of but I do think at the glory number for help I think it. There's personal of support freedom deployed in the -- because of the prize. You'd like playing -- he's a creature have a when he doesn't away. You mean it's gonna struggle for Wimbledon when he gets back because he's out of there and he annoys everybody else without you certainly get us. -- well without Brendan obviously we knew draws can play big minutes and expect them -- thirty plus on Sunday. And you talked about him pushing for time where is the most ready to play right now and -- now.

Where are you administrative waitress vision he's demonstrated ways any. Game we did real -- involved it was intentional obviously when he first -- we we've -- freedom of quick jump out. Which I thought helped his confidence. So -- are great for him. Where he's through struggles obviously the most you -- move right away. When Adam but I was so happy for him the authority of the game when no one. He had them make its own game adjustment. Meaning that he new rules are rules you know you have to do that. But he also had something to not allow -- just post them up. And I thought he did a great job of denying him and make them -- for -- quick --

Having been with -- here last year you must be able to you know waited we can't really -- C. In the pistons what he wants to do there -- there go down you -- see it coming in earlier on. You know they were struggling. Now there's no doubt that you view it as an -- the com. They're playing together -- all the ball moving on either side defensively -- You concede that removed him more art world. There's a great irony that you lost its Al mark's last seniors who were ostensibly defensive coordinators and you're still number one team defensively I would normally pointed out. Scoring defense field goal percentage defense three point field goal percentage defense but the only number it differently that anyways -- that you -- last name is doctor treatment they are definitely through. That's only numbered accounts anymore. If everything according to him. Have you seen the enemy we've never seen it.

No I haven't you know not that I can remember. You know it's a great story if it really is. Really happy. For the kids you know I look at -- all the personal note I have a young -- older son Jeremiah who you know with the Europeans. You know history -- particularly I think for guys like you know I think it gives him a victory.

And my team to if you look at some of those players real quick before finish this is my favorites that's the truth the only number reliever to to bring it up tonight. Is the sixth anniversary of Paul's fifty point game. Against Cleveland and the significance of is that in a regular season. You have not had a single player score forty points a game in the six years since has been 400 some mind games it is nearing an NBA record. And of all little numbers that speak to. The team campuses here that's my favorite. That's the great. No actually I'm here there effective now you can go do your honest ballots out of him. That was submitted that OpenId but everybody -- opportunity go someone told me before that whatever and then you can steal -- all the -- and god knows. You know that's great. And Eric and obviously I'm off work I -- wouldn't have to point. And you have one night. But it does mean that guys this year the ball and and that's what would you -- I want. No problem to vehicles are -- that that's close that's close enough -- that it's really there that was our.
