Doc Rivers & Sean Grande preview Celtics/Mavs

Only game to the Celtics this year in Texas won't be any Texas triangle this year we'll talk about with -- head coach and some of the things they were there and trying to. I can I get to the legal by the personal economic -- segment is not up yet first let's take ten seconds for station identification on the WEEI. Celtics radio network. Now we can proceed to a conversation with the head coach. On the Celtics tonight presented by Lexus and this particular segment. Which the coach can't wait to jump into it brought to you by Harvard Pilgrim Health Care making health care. Work better I'm surprised you're so excited to jump into the segment knowing that we have thought about my flight box or your pursuit.

Anything remotely like that tough turnover thing. And found that where I was on the outside of that I -- that mean. The first quarter was worse in the game when you shoot 64%. The other team's shooting 30% in Europe one hour's time that Johjima didn't go.

Yeah it's it's funny you can tell and now at some point think a lot of fans who don't like testing so -- times even our. 56 points in that first quarter just wasn't going to -- you won.

You know you can see you early. -- new bistro offensively. You know you don't have Kevin. On the floors you know you can make a case that you know now they're playing a three man zone. Did you choose you know to be in the front as well. And you just news bits of my career -- order to have an unbelievable night through double -- somehow. To give us in the office and what changed for rate in the second half. Well we're you we did get out on the brakes argument we got to stretch of stops. And when we did that and we actually got the rebound as well so we've got out into the break we generally predict they couldn't trapped -- they could go grab him. And I thought that was victory.

Welcome -- night for Avery Bradley as he is he started against different kinds of point guards is they say. If it's a matchup that you like for him as far as that we both educational and have him cabinet a sort of athletic advantage.

I don't mind it. Because then they're gonna try you know does not gonna try to blow by you all gain an attack you you gonna run the team. I think Gabriel from him a couple of days terrorism as well put reaction there and execute.

Having Avery play big minutes which he presumably will fly -- observes of the interest it's of the continuation or conversation lasts about rebounding. How has that changed in. NBA's defenses with his team like -- currently defense played in -- how has that changed in terms of accountability. And be rebounding.

Well ago and we play discourage. You garden the run so that made it easier. For us all rebound because you're always man on man -- man on your body. Now with the new team defense is where everybody is helping him. -- time committee accountable for your guy. I think in some ways it has hurt accountability and I think -- this rebounds per hour. As good as they are is there at least of the of a comfort to know that this is -- team that's really you know playing chess instead of wanted to get -- yeah yeah well I'm sure army if there. Watching a -- and what we have laughed. They're gonna probably try to run even though they don't run I would be surprised to see Jennifer's place.

If KG were here -- five hall of famers on the court in this game tonight listening very -- happens. Dirk is going to move in the top twenty in NBA history scoring and -- a perfect example of someone everyone takes for granted when. You know you were coming in as a head coach in his second year we just are beginning when we a lot of us first saw him. You know it's like what there's there's that was inconceivable that you become this dominant score.

I mean. Someone -- orderly clearly that Milwaukee -- I don't know excuse if that's who drafted by. And mistreated and you know what he's done is amazing. He's he's fought a lot of critics to go that so many different labels. And you know the one label that like just as we're sure is gonna happen it's going to be all the famous has the report. Again remind you that the head coaching -- public and the mavericks -- next on the WEEI Celtics radio network.
