Dany Ainge

" live right now from Los Angeles is Danny Ainge did getting how are. I any more importantly what's the situation was Rondo."

" Didn't on -- gotten tendered like court than it's given night but -- be applied. Give -- shot the only the only movement and it's just the mild sprain and down with how he could play it not been our percent that was."

" All of its price yesterday we talked about a quarter net and we were quite critical of it yesterday. Rajon Rondo hasn't -- a problem with guys having -- scientist -- it's all part of the new medium whatever. And it's it's understandable players Kim you know get more attention more money whatever. I was shocked and honest blog yesterday he had a detailed description of where it was where the injury was what could do and what he could not. Did you see it that you guys had any conversation with resolve about it."

" We that Lotta competition was shot applaud -- Edmonds and with a lot of players but. You know if not on a blog it's you know an interview and a in the media in describing it in and that seems to me the players. -- attention of some for some reason and at least it would players around the league east is an all sports hall let's look at spots at the blogging it would mean it's the -- All the guys that I I don't know I don't understand it either -- now I wish it would -- bought it and if we can't we can't mandate what they do it you would."

" But what did it it's not specifically about the injury I sound like -- that old fart again not be involved in my -- an -- guy the old days. We wouldn't want the pulpit to know where the injury once we get more important to note that we couldn't to a lot of the cut to right simply it's hurting. House -- field a couple of days that's that's always."

" Right but you know I think it's that have been about so many players that. For whatever reason they -- it does make everybody know that they're not a 100%. And I don't understand it again but you know the reality of it is that the -- whatever he -- he gives -- you know he's too young guy explained. He's got a sore ankle. And everybody in the world note -- ankle not a 100% and -- tender but I think you're going to feel pretty good -- go out there and I think that you know he's made -- never experienced. The adrenaline that they you know that you feel when you're out there and and all the sudden you don't really feel anything until you start missing much shot now that it's a little bit sore."

" earned compared Rondo who the leadoff hitter in baseball like Jacoby Ellsbury with the speedway affects the games and I said you know at two Colby's hamstring. Is tight and he can't run the bases he loses effectiveness you look at Rondell pushing the ball the court what will you be looking for tonight early in that game. That's going to tell you whether he is okay is it could be pushed the ball the court exploding what is what's it going to be."

" I think -- you know I think it would be able to run up the court -- that you know we get -- give that steely yep really burst you know. -- developing you guys -- It was opting to everybody in the world about it ankle injury in don't look like he needed to -- White but warming and -- Right and everybody knew everything about -- Billups hamstring injury. And -- little bit of speculation that you know everybody knew the -- the governor but he was not a 100% what the right. And that it would get on the national media and then you know on TNT there are you can't find them fine but that behind the scenes you know and that is not -- sent. So you know why I don't I've probably played up much into in the records -- keep -- keep it on the ninth."

" We you encourage based on what you -- game three knowing that Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett and an off night offensively."

" You know what I'm not encouraged by you know I I think -- you've -- need to play well all the whole team played poorly thought. And with such a reality series shut the ball unbelievable on May very typical -- to keep this in -- you know. Eat it says it all you know we can play very well so -- but they didn't play well leader. And they're and they're going to play a lot better this series those long you really don't want to let teams get comfortable and and start playing well. So you know when you get opportunity to take wins you gotta get."

" would like to see Kevin Garnett. Have more over the inside presence to start the game tonight and I know missed an easy open jumpers that he normally knocks down a couple nights ago what the least to start the game -- seems like the -- have more than inside presence."

" You know cabinet inside presence whenever Kevin wants that. And you know what can we get the ball to Kevin get what you such as any -- it doesn't matter I start the game. You know I think that it goes into the game and -- shooting after he gets a couple of baskets but. They're coming back Kevin Garnett about starting on the on the court the taken away people's got to get the ball on the block the kick it away -- going to come entrap. Not going to dislike him wrong they elect him wrong in the ninth when he had all the shooters on the court -- was that stretch -- you actually gotten attached. But we're not going to just try to do everything we can't get Kevin Garnett in we want to pick our spots. Use Kevin Garnett inside keep it great jumps to their pets in the strength -- all their long. And Kevin doesn't have the stamina to go inside. Time and time and time and time again like model or vocal players he's he's undersized but everybody he played against from strength standpoint -- that exit of marched all -- look at these stretch of the beaten the -- support Mickelson shot. And we want to pick our spots ticket in all such as on the post that you haven't such a well."

" I don't get Jonas you wrote today -- the call up today about it I. For some reason people think he should be Shaquille O'Neal or urged honestly it will change -- he's not. I think outlook on what are you is the skill that he brings to the table. And and expect that he should be you know get the most out of other out of that that's stability brings to the table I don't get it I'm much again."

" Writing this book that changed the weight plate the last twelve year in what we're what we're in of course you know Kevin Garnett that we've -- for twelve years and he's he's playing while doing yet -- the other night. He easily did little league's program and a lot of shots that disputes those little tight. Any explosive so bats and what you gotta be back display and let it go and not comparable to a better job in the title so."

" You talked about Ray Allen and certainly the last few games now last four we've seen him really break out of that. In the the funky was in before you talked an awful lot about the deepest point specifically that Cleveland series of them the Detroit series. Do you think he's just fighting more rhythm out there the game was not quite as -- he's got some spacing now."

" Absolutely not at all and I am not saying that if you're out. Some open opportunity to -- the series but. People about it and you've been rhythm if you get if you -- such -- in the way that -- it will play in the in the Cleveland series. And it had a little bit of a carry over effect in Detroit and from that I'm on the beat in the real Ray Allen. Everybody wants talked about a page talk about ankle surgery and you know -- shot Andre gets in a rhythm you gotta watch out and that. I think -- been played fantastic in this series and you that the record."

" Let Jason go seven games that last seven games of Cleveland tough series with Detroit you seen a few nicks and bruises here you know KG with does have energy. Phil Jackson said that night the felt at the end of the game the other night that he was -- is. I know this is the NBA finals and I know you -- leave on the -- 36 minutes a Kevin Garnett better than 42 minutes right now."

" You know it it in every game is different. You know Kevin has its not writing and it's not about a matter and it bankrupt and kept put so much emotion in the game that he even. And I don't think he was -- I don't think that had anything to do you know course -- Jack. Yeah turning it of this scope of rectal built Jackson would much rather see if they're four -- Garnett and 42 point -- done. -- bad -- tired although I don't think they're going to all that."

" That's a that that he simply selling comes in the game last few games since the start off okay and then the mason convention starts and I'd like to see him shoot a little bit less in May be tried you've. You know give the ball up a little bit."

" Well he thought it. -- judgment you know air it was great game Warren. I mean can't help that went back into huge up pitched record really top -- Weaver when we were struggling at the basket."

" I wasn't first happened in the second half was looked at them."

" Riot but in the second half he was -- a three year -- or eight feet made it to the big shot the game with PG made that enabled the Sox are -- down. Anything to you know a fine line to score and depending on the on the court where. You know is probably the -- you'd like to see he's up there with guys that we need we need -- scoring and you know we liked to cease and -- wasn't out there on the court which he has rarely. You know with the other three scores that you want to -- the ball over more but. Dammit don't fine you know we need him to make shots and but -- in the score points off the bench that is."

" Unfortunately the -- have done -- story is seeming league getting tons of attention right now. And the latest revelation by him. About certain games being controlled by executives from the NBA hue Hollins has come out commented today Mike Mathis has commented. Today what's your take on what universal for."

" I think it's ridiculous I mean is yeah how their soccer league survive or executive in the league Popovich replied you that one time. You've done I mean I just can't imagine this is too many people that would no it it just makes no sense. I don't believe any of the."

" I think of perceptual problem that the commissioner has right now. Is that people are constantly questioning the officiating. In -- and if your team got screwed that that last game you're questioning it now you read this intuit -- And people are going to try to put to a two together and try to come up with three you know."

" Understand I mean it's not good for the league it's not a good situation -- just you know like it's. I don't think there's a conspiracy going on is that bad officiating that happens here and there absolutely and it is harder you know. Players that are getting call -- is -- emotion on the road in I mean that all of the all of those factors that enter into the human element officiating there's certainly here. Cox interactive art and start it's special treatment yeah I had dispute with that from official all around and they you know they claim no way -- seen it. And not seem to benefit me and my team and seeing the cot might eat and felt. I just don't think there's a conspiracy I don't think and I certainly don't think it. That there's anybody in the league executives that give any sort of direction. On you know who should be who were controlling the outcome of the game."

" I did tennis sneaky to the doubted he obviously is looking to lessen his prison time and and the same time the timing couldn't be worse. And that the NBA is getting these phenomenal television ratings over two storied franchises and yet that seems to be a big topic right now."

" Well there's not a lot of talk about it of people call on all the time -- their China. You know talk about this split a lot out there were just the games are great. She seen make it in -- it just makes for great television as a lot of individuals story line is. And it's unfortunate that this has become not just Simon in -- on the on that they should be beat air."

" The contrast of the two teams in the series one played in the Western Conference. High powered offense the other -- a more physical defensive mind. Minded the team. -- have a -- we see in this play out into these lower scoring games and let those slowing soaring games are they not playing more into the Celtic style."

" Well not -- believing that either -- and beat these. First game we won in the gate and the score in the 82 game we won Saturday to -- It every game is different and every game there's there's the different rhythm that -- different momentum change -- And you know we won game in the Detroit series were both -- shot 43 point shot that made for reasons that another game that they're 193 point shot made a book in. And each in each game but yet are we want to run when we get beat down the steal and -- anytime we can't get the open court we -- The Lakers want to run enabled the ball I don't think that -- it -- within the course of the year more big."

" our conference -- open to how the Lakers underground because that you know looked you could never meant. And running they did they get the ball that the triangle and they moved the ball around to get the ball the best players you know but in -- off so. I don't think that there anymore. Successful and in an open court game that we are and I think that there are much under created because the team -- a half court as well."

" these things before. You're just mystical one during the course of -- of the one game to the next and we saw that in in the last game. Which are a little bit -- of Kobe Bryant on on Rondo. Allowed him maybe to slow -- down a little bit also allowed him defensively to kind of help out a little bit more. When you see. Stuff like that adjustments. Does the other team now have the -- just off of the last adjustment -- that's made it has become that -- real you know super chess game."

" I don't think so I think there's a lot made of that that hotly anticipated apple for the series started you know Kobe got there aren't very good job the chase and bring -- the screen. So it could beat the -- that they're trying to change something to stop but it could be that you know albeit that a cricket Jeff Burton -- And so I'd seen that into it is what it would have been a ball that factored lift in the that talked before the series they're worried about -- Who loses -- attention when he's -- guys come off screen blocked in so I think back. In the bottom line is -- get a cheap but it a couple of -- run the government could pay for the try to eat and that's that's something that we could see him from the beginning of the playoffs that landed it it. Cleveland Detroit they're popular they're all back in and it makes it more difficult cars -- scores. Wonders on the record -- was -- have to find his way to be effective offensively."

" What 23 electric Ray Allen really kind of welcoming the spacing of the Western Conference kind of defense the with a with the Lakers are giving Tillman and on the other side that Odom and Gasol. Really -- too excited I don't think about the way the Eastern Conference plays defense to those two guys it's been disappearing act especially aside hold of."

" How often the guy's been I don't put too much into all that game by game I mean picnic in the could be completely different. And where different guys step up and and that's why you have seen you know I don't expect every got people out there does have its series of play. Great off the bat is rarely happens -- to the great."

" about that earlier I mean so -- to this point I'd like the trend in the way the game is being played. For the Celtics like the -- But if the trend starts changing you start seeing one of those guys explode tonight that you probably have to be a little bit more concerning your right things like that the weapon series. Did you see many times before sometimes it takes four -- five games into the series before you see that happen."

" Exciting you know what I think that something that not talk about it much in the game. I think that's terrible weather affect the marquee here today and and we got a lot of fouls and even though you're not fouling out of the game to get two fouls early in the game. Everybody with and -- little bit out problematic broke up the rhythm of our team had a rope and the quotation that in a lot of individual players particularly all. But you know that you can't afford to -- the -- either not a big part of."

" I did a good talk and he'll end up reluctantly and collectively at any job appear in loss Angeles"
