I appreciate taken a couple of minutes here doc called it an ugly win after the games -- great. That maybe not did the prettiest basketball game he played as a team this year. -- polluters are both. But we've got the -- you don't spoke about it. Jeff what do you look at down the last few games here in nine -- backs in the last six. Knows a lot of talk about the aggressiveness right and lot made of the talk between you and Kevin Garnett -- what I see it last night five for sixteen shooting but yet the aggressiveness. Is their army gonna have nights like that but is that something that you really kind of -- stumbling for. -- Familiar with the culture within your and you're. -- car caught a bit of the people that are televised come back there. And you know Kevin -- is you know -- to be aggressive -- to something -- such as well. Well but -- did it over or others on because continue to attack and oh with a cut in -- Yeah after -- yourself Jeff to be aggressive if the shots not going that you got to continue to gold take the ball the basket recognize that you got a role on this team and and being aggressive helps that -- You know -- I got -- -- period. Sometimes you on the float which is where would know like to look at them and Paul Pierce's in the all of our schools are -- to. Also the you know you're honest people resent the Gaza should -- -- disability -- not a month note considered by most of -- Note that he would get better. What was that conversation like because you know KG had mentioned it. Everybody said yeah he's such a nice guy with some engine formula that mean streak. When was that when was that talk was a couple years back when he showed up what was that more so than this year and who and what -- down. Well is that a lot of new. -- -- -- -- back and forth you know all of this year mentally. Bob Bob Roland. What he could not be doing on -- And in most all positive people all you know encouraging news in the colorful and you know. People who are our board of Clinton. You know -- so positive and so are the particulars charmer. And that neither. You know give better you know ultimately -- -- -- -- Is the conversation with Kevin with you Jeff as intense as what we see with Kevin out there on that on the basketball court. Almost that ultimately. There's spoken to terminate his -- -- -- game you know he felt when he competition teammate. And you know what we eat something and you look at the so you know. That you believe me it is you know losing -- lives -- motivation to one of the person that you want to be. And I don't do that -- over the Kevin Garnett. -- -- UK -- blitzes you know the -- will -- take it Sharpton. Do we. A little -- there. Did you when he first came over from Oklahoma City was okay what's the fit what house are gonna look in the new missed last year which are wanna get too little bit but. You know have you kind of understood that fit now that that role in what your role is on this team. He has multiple. Legal. You know it. Just move with the transition from start in a model career and -- Oklahoma. Flashy out of in the coming here out there. -- make sure that you come off the bench the -- Paul Pierce and hopefully limited as well knowing the role -- biblical -- now. -- -- -- -- Or more there. Not concede would not want my teammates respect -- you know. It it's been slow slow motion thing but you know they were critical call. We're talking to Jeff Green you talk about the transition Jeffords started to bench play -- had to -- can be had to a change at all. Your your mental preparation for the game you know normally figure Golding starting third to George doll on the city Seattle. Now coming off the bench how does that change your preparation for games. Our work is it is a lot we start and you can forward -- to -- You've been and the company gave you don't know -- put the game is going to be like. Become a little pull out the game will be you can take you come into the game -- -- come up with bit. You've got -- really really really focuses have a very very strong with the preparation because of the game -- as a follow. You know has this. -- Taking the blue that you can be effective you know he. You know what did your -- The -- -- in that you scored it is. We've done whatever it. So it's a big difference you know you you know. What you club that you got you. Again about well is the same but you know the minute operations forces to. Jeff sometimes unfortunately is society we kind of -- appreciate what we have until you we face a tragedy or a scare in life few had that's your last year with. At the heart surgery how did that change you. Coming out of that and going into the season as far as we view things on the cordon off. Look -- major project in a lot more and -- -- what I do. -- -- in the remote demoralize law. And demoralized almost. And you know toward -- chemical expert awful year. You know also that. Do appreciate the game makes you appreciate life a lot more the small being. Electors -- There is much bigger you know and now and you know it was about a lot. In the whole year.

You know we have we have an crucial Obey -- -- It was their point but early on that season beyond that game where. Maybe you know we we playing with kind of any kind of adult and in given what had happened the agency -- I'm back physically. I am fine physically and fiscal play in my game.
