Automatically Generated Transcript (may not be 100% accurate)

" Joining us liable to follow -- with -- right now our buddy from like Comcast the one and only. -- You practicing of the games that -- game or -- up at. Did you ever think you would actually you have to sit and talk about gang signs. This unbelievable I'll -- you -- the officials some signs."

" That that that bonus then there -- as caused book I'd open. You know it really measure may is that it would not happen did you -- was called yes technical balloting got a bit awkward. What taught think it would have been all. And."

" They can even call bolsa comfort dumping it could've ended -- at that I Tommy am surprised at the NBA. Would actually reveal this much information missed in privately probably concerned about it the image of The League in The League office as your price looking for little stuff like that. Would you just reveal that looked out the it's it's giving more attention."

" Well the commissioner is just keeps -- nets' sake genitalia and had a deal you know I. I take Stu Jackson the basketball guys detached sense the I -- It was going to be nothing happening with the review Garnett and the truth yeah pejorative but it on the net but it -- And the the the other the other thing is the assignment of those officials and those two games then yeah went went well Palmer. It's a game masculine now in the playoff -- I I am I I am amazed and and Eddie F rush it's -- and well. I I just animate then and that to hurt you go on about the officials I watched this challenge and Burress. And that was it and officiate games yet -- one -- And I felt -- seventy any."

" Although to Atlanta mister Tommy say some nice things about the officials concerned that The League office yeah -- and I heard your assessment at the end of the game the other night couldn't agree with you more I was amazed. Game three didn't bother me -- game four really bothered me and I saw that same deer in the headlights look. I was shocked by that I mean this team did not play anywhere near the way they played all year long and I never saw them -- During the regular season shot that that game."

" Well what I think as happened in that the games than there is they lost their aggressiveness or one reason or another. And one of the reasons -- I think the determined that they were going to slow down there but I have a place. Atlanta couldn't run. And in doing so when and up a lot of -- expanding around at the border war but the more. And it was a completely different team than we had seen all season long and even in the two games. In Boston there was no aggressive attack to what they would do."

" Tommy in and they look at that game to Meehan and them I'm sure you you might look to. Is that all you along the south -- and it grew and great bench and their bench is playing well -- two games in Atlanta and so while we have not seen that to the fact -- Kevin Garnett had the -- about 44 minutes the other day it did not have any. How hard the -- it's going to get that -- involvement going again."

" Well or going to say the Mac and matches that the airplanes seven guys. So that -- not bench goes into play airplane against their regular. Would end up playing well. And as a consequence they're not playing against them the back up people of the mind and that's where -- make him pay. They're against stop bench with their regular."

" What should you do want those -- behind some things here. Instead of slow on the game down if you could play seven guys shoot you ride -- get those seven guys retire them."

" Boy you must have been -- list and let's not beat this guy totally understands what up tempo basketball is all about. Did did have there been in my -- it. If in an attack like they had been in net the other games stroke job -- would've been gone -- the -- 44 minutes and it would not. Have really been able to practically do what he wanted to do what --"

" Would you would you put Tony Allen if Joe Johnson has another run like he did in the fourth quarter would you put Tony Allen -- for awhile."

" You know I'm not going to second guess -- noses rotation mean most of people but. The the when I say they lost their aggressiveness and attack mentality history guys on the Celtics that really can get to the rim almost anytime anyone or make something good happened as they tried. What is Rondo the other is -- PS in the third Tony Allen. And at one point none of the three Iran -- floor and we ended up which stand around basketball so as did you know Tony I would be a bit surprised to see that start make an adjustment the the situation with that Joe Johnson they tried big people at all and take -- as quick -- And SEC if you can really bother and that it'll work so one had tried so quick people get up underneath them and maybe be mystical --"

" Tommy Ellis what's this is -- Maloney I was -- game four to me that the Celtics need to play. Bigger by and by that I mean Kendrick Perkins underneath get Josh you know Smith bringing Garnett out of top of the -- chemical bonds of a quick for KG but. Ewing's shots are going up cages underneath and hopes to meet Kendrick Perkins going to be the guys got to play bigger he's got to play physical he's got a clean up those sports."

" Well I think big physical is all well and good in the presence underneath but what what I think is it happened is that when they got their attack was really strictly go -- to Kevin Garnett. On the -- bench and all of a sudden three guys. With the other unit on the block and Perkins out or whoever else that was as KG was taken always. And I think as a consequence what you gotta do -- as -- match I think what they're up by it is is that the rush the ball up more. And you get a decent look. They really are not in a position to block Q lateral. Incidents read it deep -- is totally disorganized. So we will we will like the other night that two games in my opinion with like. Hitler calling out or Eisenhower of course got paid up that level and saying will landing at Normandy. Did you tank for a yet because there's there's so well scouted every -- became apocalypse all."

" a -- he's historian is since Tommy Tommy one of the things unseeded in this game and think some of the differences that I see is that. As I talk about that bitch before that they Doc Rivers and I have to make a decision you because. You know so far stamp -- has been inserted in the lineup and they have really hasn't. At what made these last two -- three games. The UDs -- five wave maybe to bring it Eddie House banking and let him play you know your law it's almost seemed like the chemistry or the heat that playing minutes have -- disrupted. Because you're trying to -- await the -- involved."

" Well I would say it is -- If the idea from the get go Estes loaded game down and attack them a slowdown here as. Sam has -- If you're going to have an up tempo game span stopped the ball. He gets the fan -- Barry's problem but loosen it binds people up ahead so he ends up doing it and number and everybody in and so nobody gets involved Eddie House. All season long although he wasn't really the greatest that it. The one thing he did and every game is create the tempo for the second unit to be aggressive. And wind people up ahead of money -- it. Beat sensibly it was as aggressively as anybody keep them. The point -- in front of them and at times during the terrific -- Sam is really. Haven't troubles that -- well because even though we might know vegetable plate patterns. That the Celtics -- wouldn't want to go to about. You shall I I liked Eddie House gave back in and but I'd like I wish they'd go back to be. The attack type of up rush up the floor if you got a decent shot take it now. But a mismatch if not then -- deal pattern."

" What's funny and you know I can understand the need for trying to slow down game when you've got this quick athletic team. Yet they played a half court game the other night I think Atlantic eight fast break points. You beat them up and being a lot more physical -- the Celtics and a half court game so why not go back to running."

" Well if you don't being aggressive yourself go on to the basket and they only got seven guys nobody on that team really got -- And in the first quarter of the game two of the Celtic players in well true big time. And had to be lifted. After getting out to a really good spot so that's where you have attack in the other team and taking something out of era. Make got them have to go to their bench. With somebody didn't want to apply."

" Mr. but the block shots they had the other night what -- Smith likes that enters ridiculous. Coming from the weak side over yen and a lot of times in in in helping you make the extra pass what do you do to to avoid that gives. You know and -- pitcher to of of the movement of that hand off the ball suddenly you're hitting the hand or the army you could be committing the final."

" Well when you get a guy that -- like Josh Smith and not that experienced player what we used to do so against even them more experienced players. Is really bait them into making an attempt to block shots and find that -- man like yeah. This guy with the least little sake you can -- them in Durant does. And nobody seems to be aware what he's going to -- rule when he's going to do what's so hopefully. I mean they have done this against yeah Yao Ming they have done it against Shaq over the years that's what they have to -- readjust that thinking into what they're doing but what -- penetrating --"

" Yeah you you have to get into situations to me going in his sometimes that I went away from the shot blocker you attack job law. You go history -- and you base that he commits -- as -- to block a shot at the -- if you did if you said it before. The way he's he's not the shot block or 11 -- blocks your shots normally when he's -- become -- from the offs he's in if you haven't got this he's come from the outset. That guy he's guard you follow him towards who. It's obviously got goals gives you shovel pass he's out of position you'd -- followed adult or get a great place at that time even agree."

" And also you get them guessing whether he should go block shots at all."

" I thought you many great point about these guys and it got. You know the personnel to do it Walt little hole. Do you think that they settled a little bit more and outside game Tommy in the that was so successful early in it for six minutes. There industries in the first six minutes and seemed to settle for that tied the game."

" You know and that that is one thing that they do on the brakes sometimes that I don't like I'm I'm. I put the three point shot if you really run in the brake properly is is the last option the first option as a layup and a potential get a guy in well true. And the only guy that was really run into the basket on the break with and these -- first road."

" WW as the right this is old school basketball you -- they keep that mentality that -- you -- break and Tommy taught me this. Read our backed up this ever by taught me this is when you look in the desperate. The first opportunity that was a late. It lets you beat a three point basket. Yet the lay up because high percentage you get opportunity get the second shot if you miss that and bigger than that you get a chance because that happens in the -- point to his -- just get got -- typical instead of take in the -- option of ever Biron to as a whole. And -- you have our guys watch -- down obvious you sit trotting down not to get the lay up. But it trot down to get position that -- that three point you busted them up by it must at times say look we don't need that the rate. Why not just take it to just like if you have baseball. All you need somebody give but I give them a crawls the same way as a whole run with you take the ball so well gathered to get it done as -- the most typical that would -- three point shot."

" What was the magic word. -- Oh -- every move to the basket and and all of -- if you don't get a -- that they they got to -- against the medium range jump jet you're a you'd get a layup that they packet and you get the same three digit ticket on the initial thing. And when you take the three quickly. If we mentioned -- a long rebounds government down with everybody coming up behind the plate if you couple -- and five guys are running. And you beat them on the break you have to numbers. Or put back not that. So you know why. Yup that's right basketball years ago they take you can't win a championship with as -- as. That is saying you can't win a championship went out as best ball and -- whipped -- and -- just got 180."

" I tell me it's always great -- you do me a favor semi love over to Helen okay."

" I certainly welcome -- right erupt elegant black."

" It -- actually. -- Hudson from Comcast or you know not having you with them is the Yankees failed to run throw. You go to Tennessee's. It was the Woodward well. Run and word one word that our ears of those don't work I think use that word more than any other. You know -- he said we're talking about a team that the seven man rotation and discrepancy in field blowing free throws. It's ridiculous that they attack this team what is his team like it judgement gets in foul trouble early Al -- gets in foul trouble early but it's just whatever ain't got shot into about your address your brilliance. And again that's why question of Paul Pierce ankle with a -- an awful lot and I -- that it will be a couple games ago whether he was now paying double -- talked he talked about you that layup opportunity it late in the game we got to remember we let him yeah he went after the camp with the let me see you got to hold the east and just the and he missed him -- he missed that. Yeah opportunity -- the put so much more pressure -- you make that become now that the Francis is all you want it was an opportunity in the game -- that I. Or Ortiz to win."

" I gotta say I'm not trying to and anyway to put down Joe Johnson -- Josh mister Al Horford and it's a it's a young team that's got some promise down the road. But come the that they should not be a challenging series I will give you one game --"

" It the should not -- jelly legs Aristide sorry this team should not be changing what they've been doing all year I think that's the biggest thing through the talking about they do like to get up they'd elect the run will play in Atlanta we want to slow down -- the Boston Celtics. The best record -- yeah now let it makes you gently you do just yet but I don't. I love you that I -- get called up twice. Posey got into the lane figured he'd draw the charge okay and I League One time it was it was Johnson the other time and haven't shall I can't remember. I don't want the fact that he was nobody was to get the job even though he should have got the charge call up but at least your body to the -- now you're telling him the next time you governors and now. I'll let up which would Iraq as the got -- work tonight will be a week but I don't know where -- will be away and and it's right he's the -- for a price -- it will be"
