Was that must complete game as a pro you feel like -- last night Paul points sixteen rebounds. Yeah I think -- I think that is. A -- -- to gain in. Actually got to play them the whole fourth quarter court did not that was happy about that. A ticket back to last year you know and in the draft -- obviously wanna be drafted. As high as possible but -- draft goes like a pretty good ID a B with a pretty good team what was it like when you heard. The -- your name call with the Boston Celtics in in what that meant as far as the tradition of this organization. That's pretty impressive because -- like those on to the organization. How about when it. Without -- about when it. A lot of disorganization. -- America to play with a couple of a leader that lesson. And I articulate -- And violence make it ideal you know I'm here somehow. He could be drafting you'll earlier may be would have had -- the team around that says a guy like Kevin Garnett it would probably had more minutes may be with another team but how valuable is that for you. Working with the -- KG each and every day in practice. Hamas. You know whether they -- or who are mormons wouldn't let -- let you know be lose. So that it doesn't really matter -- it what was that like have. -- -- And I think he's like negative person -- -- -- -- we've Ellen actually happened a few world. You know what every bill. He's actually just his prophecy. And sometimes they took Britain consistent as what you just saw that it though. I think. We get who get it evolved. Brawl in the -- -- at what he's really helped put my. Ice at the draft does it matter we heard stories of Paul Pierce. She jumpers after your strapped and every time his jumper a practice he named one of the nine teams the Pakistani tell me not shoot jumpers name and those teams -- No. I'm just of the doubt here. Let cars are part of -- -- that rookie. Nancy. Now you played a ton Ohio State be startled those games -- -- -- the Celtics and your role is coming off the bench is it hard. To adjust to that role not starting and being asked to sit for a little bit then come into a game. Now thousands -- -- -- be but it does some. Almost. You would see is not really that hard is that. -- standard equipment behind. Great Kevin Garnett. Somebody like branded that the that was. -- so it's understandable and on top -- -- it is whatever -- you wouldn't do so I'm all about me. You know that -- square garden -- a day against the knicks I mean it's the ultimate right you're at Madison Square Garden the game is intense and got to know mr. Tyson Chandler has got a little bit a little bit rough though it must been a fun game to be apart of. Very. It again. I have a lot of well one. Who. It was -- I mean look. Did you like that they seem to let guys play in that game -- is someone has may even called for a couple fouls this year that enact game KG in -- label that.

Guys they're big guys that are big are also pretty athletic as well that he may -- don't match up height wise with that help big adjustment is that playing your position. That it gets some of these guys that might be bigger more athletic. It is is pretty cool. I like I think -- -- -- more athletic but it really it kind of frustrated like look I get this. And so I think that that's that's what they reported. Some might think they have that he grabbed it -- -- -- -- -- that. You think there's an art to rebounding like you can study it and kind of Dennis from the east to say angles and followed that you seem to have a knack for the ball is that something you can learner is that just. You -- of -- you were brought up as a basketball players here. It is something you can't learn but he can't -- If he gives you -- And I get off the south Dallas -- -- over for a -- here now. You WK alarm would you can't learn it is it is it's hard to explain. You didn't even know if he made by the shoot he's in no way. You know what percentages of what the when it comes off but.

To the halfway point where you like you almost in the material but this the late. That's his point 5%. These -- -- it yet either going to be. At the and then you that I had the action. You know -- dedication to go get the ball that I think that I have. I'm just -- go get it. You won the frustrating thing I think watch and -- over the course the last couple of years has bent the rebounding battle and I understand the emphasis is more of getting back in transition defense is that. Is it difficult for you -- ages Billick you just want to get those offensive rebounds. No doubt they'll go. That he knows that we can't even though because maybe they'll. Every -- that -- Rebound so go go good to rebound and if you don't get them back. Just trying to -- -- more -- people. They seem to turn around Saturday night at halftime the reports are that Paul -- and adjusting words for your team he can you tell us what.

Cleveland Indians hottest team in baseball, yet remain last in attendance May 19, 2013 By AJ Kaufman 6 Comments There’s a scene in Major League where Bob Uecker, portraying the radio voice of the Indians, bemoans, “In case you haven’t noticed, and judging by the attendance you haven’t, the Indians have managed to win a few here and there, and are threatening to climb out of the cellar.” Well, that was nearly 25 years ago and fictional, but today’s reality is that Cleveland has won 17 of its last 21, and currently tops the AL Central with a mark of 25-17. No one in the majors is better than the Indians in the past month (20-7). That’s great news. The bad news, however, is the Tribe somehow remain in the MLB cellar when it comes to attendance. How can this be? The fact that I wrote on this same topic almost to the day last year – when only Tampa Bay drew fewer fans than Cleveland - may be even more troubling. Though roughly 34,000 watched a walk-off win Friday night against Seattle, perfect weather and free caps weren’t enough to draw more than 36,000 Saturday and Sunday combined. What did the Indians do in those tilts? They nabbed another walk-off win on Saturday, then the Indians crushed the great Felix Hernandez Sunday behind Justin Masterson, arguably the AL’s best pitcher right now. Fun fact: The Indians have already faced eight Cy Young Award winners in 2013: Bartolo Colon, R.A. Dickey, Roy Halladay, Cliff Lee, Jake Peavy, David Price, Justin Verlander and Hernandez. They have won seven out those eight matchups. Simply astounding. This offseason, the much-maligned Indians front office finally made a legitimate attempt to improve the team through free agency. I’m not talking an Ubaldo Jimenez-like trade, but rather smart acquisitions that brought veterans Mike Aviles, Michael Bourn, Jason Giambi, Scott Kazmir, Brett Myers, Mark Reynolds, Drew Stubbs and Nick Swisher to Cleveland. In addition to being a fantastic place to watch a game due to great egress and ingress, with extremely affordable tickets, the best promo lineup anywhere, Jacobs Field boasts overall, cooler, less muggy summer weather than most Midwestern locales. The team also lowered beer and hot dog prices to $4 and $3 respectively. What other professional stadium in any sport offers that? I have visited 28 of the 30 current Major League Baseball stadia, and few top The Jake when all angles are considered. I say that as a baseball fan, not an Indians fan. As for the putative “economic” angle, these are the same people who spend insane amounts of money to watch terrible football every fall and show up in decent numbers for putrid basketball in the winter. Irrespective of season length, those sports charge up to 10 times the price for a ticket, and the atmosphere isn’t half as fan-friendly as baseball. I understand fans’ lack of willingness to get on board to some degree. A decent recap of Cleveland’s decade of “rebuilding” can be read here and the team suffered a horrific collapse last August. However, in addition to all the benefits of attending games at Jacobs (now Progressive) Field, fans should also realize the team has potential and often exceeds preseason aspirations at any point without warning. Cleveland hosts the rival Detroit Tigers — heavy favorites to repeat as AL Central champs — Tuesday and Wednesday nights before hitting the road. The temperature should be pleasant at first pitch each evening so you’d expect The Jake to be full to watch the best hitter on the planet right now — but don’t count on it.
