Celtics Rewind 12-03

" Excuse Celtics who was on Sports Radio week that he WEEI. So good so. Lying in court but the rebound and -- that there. -- league night spot to talk about the Boston Celtics with John Ryder."

" Ray Allen Watson Daniel sailed right spot -- this a great profits every now -- they'll -- Garnett I think it scored and the foul. Yeah Broncos without me with that. You know maybe a -- who played about -- all focus that we live right now dominate the everything he wants to and with that way Rondo has made triple double. 88 seconds into the thing that I believe we can use them think about that turned the gone through it all and it's difficult that is for -- now. From the way the Celtics wiwa. Celtics have won and overall they are eighteen to -- as they blow away the Pacers the final score clock that won fourteen Indiana."

" 96 on Sports Radio -- fifty W week."

" But I dominant performance by the Celtics certainly their starters and certainly three of them and not the Big Three you're used to it -- Big Three. I Kevin Garnett Ray Allen they were involved it but it was Rajon Rondo really stealing showed died. As the Celtics knocked out the Pacers won fourteen to -- six at guard Jeff -- the Celtics through I'd take your calls. Up until midnight 617779850. -- parade. 888525850. Pound W I've -- on -- itself we know the lines. -- talk about this Celtics team."

" Which is the best in the NBA right now is thirty doubt of that I mean there's a lot of people time -- the Lakers in their fifteen to record. And by the -- the team that the Celtics defeated two died the Pacers. Unique team and that they're the only team in the NBA that is beaten both the Celtics and the Lakers of course. The Pacers handing the Celtics that rare loss their first loss of the season way back on November 1. And Indiana. Celtics certainly cruising. Since then had to when just about every game I mention they were eighteen to the -- the last was to. Denver back on Friday November 14 ever since then they've -- ten straight. A very impressive win for the Celtics tonight Rajon Rondo is huge did everything pretty much right in this one. Let's get to the phones at first up is frank and Corey frank."

" Agent are you -- good -- or you. All right then -- great day. I'll I don't doubt Rondo had to bring it afford. You know -- you don't. It looked like way out good for him."

" Yeah I've made -- it was. Rondo was pretty much mistake free and when he wasn't in the game I think Indiana took advantage certainly one Rondo and Garnett were in the game at the same time as one Indiana. Kind of crept back a little bit but I don't think there was any doubt that the Celtics were going to end up winning this game and when you look back two two. Different matchup -- times. Between Rondo and in TJ Ford it's been -- even at times but no doubt Rondo just outperformed. Him -- leaps and bounds and and he he has been so integral during this ten game winning streak."

" Absolutely and and and we can only 13 you know I'll battery he can make bad you know what what the course of the."

" I wonder too I mean I was looking at this and I know that. That game against Indiana that they lost 95 to 79. I think the Celtics had yet. Well I think debuts that is a wakeup call ever since but they're kind of liked is going through the motions in that game they seem low he may because the back to back I don't know but. Rondo in that game against India added 25 minutes when it compares it. Two points six rebounds and forces were TJ Ford and that win had nineteen points. Four assists no turnovers -- you look at tonight. And I don't know if Rondo you know looked at that box score again or what the deal was. I mean we're talking about November 1 now December 3. And how much better Rondo is playing in that stretch and certainly tonight really like Paul -- benchmark so far this season for."

" and what they don't want that question at a molecular. That -- what. We'll get off the line. First of what you -- a great job you are the future at WE I."

" That's bad things -- I I hope so I wish that he went."

" Yeah and now I think you'd see that Celtic -- As we going to be approaching the -- outburst that last year and molecular that they can -- my."

" thanks frank appreciated celtics' bench I think they're still going to add somebody I mean it. Tonight wasn't a great indication because Tony Allen was in play EA was missed the game with a sprained ankle. But I think dead. It's been kind of sporadic at times I mentioned that I'm Mikey show before he started. We've seen glimpses of just terrific play the Detroit wins both of -- I thought the bench played very well certainly that game. Back on November 20 where the bench actually increase the lead when the starters -- out against the Pistons. And then there's been other times. Such as you know Golden State and a lot of people miss that game is who's who's the Wednesday night before Thanksgiving but. Bench didn't look good in that game and there's been other times that they've just been great like that game before that'd Toronto. That Sunday afternoon game. So I think it's really been up and -- and so far I like the play of Leon -- for the most part certainly the way he started the season right. Right at the start. I think Tony Allen's been better this season than last still inconsistent at times. But he's been showing a better ability to explode the basket hopefully this sprained ankle that slowed down too much. He suffered that Monday's win against Orlando. Eddie House. As I'd like to see him get a shot going a little bit more we've seen some glimpses of that but still. I think he's been a little too inconsistent. He's not a true point guard. And Glen big baby Davis give me some minutes here and there it and of course it all comes down to matchups in the teams they're playing but I still think. They're missing the or whether it's just a a true point -- that they can bring -- the bench because a lot of times. When they do -- that second unit out here -- either have to leave Paul Pierce in there at times to actually beat Canada. The the point guard because. Tony Allen Eddie House just have problems handling the ball. -- a little bit too erratic at times so like I still think maybe at times true point guard. I don't know what they're going to do with Sampras salad I don't know what their thoughts are on deep red lines -- between those of the two. True point guards they have but it will be interesting to see what they do before the season's out whether they -- apiece or not I think they will. Before the playoffs start here's Greg -- a card a Greg."

" Yeah I mean it included reviewing what well out more by -- the years they -- any airport early that are look at Pete aircraft while."

" Yeah I agree I think they well I mean I don't know what they'll do good to -- to cap space do all the right maneuvers but they'll find a way to. To get it done and I I think they -- when we look at the free agents out -- currently. Not really a lot and let's say actually bring back PJ brown bud the site is now much out there but they might make a deal I would be surprised."

" Rondo is playing is great right now and a lot of the thing about it being. About the shots you get -- that was superstars in the."

" Yeah well -- Yeah the one thing -- him though is that. There's really two parts of his game that I think -- missing. And we -- the out jump shot and free throws a mean and not like you need your point guard to be taken tons sixteen foot jump shot three -- he's doing what you want a point guard to do and that's dishing you know dishing the ball off playing. Defense very well and an handling the ball well which he does amended to cut down on turnovers to."

" He's had a great year doc that a lot of current does have a dog eat that is really -- on the in the get a."

" Yeah differences what it. It is the true reason why they're eighteen to. -- and there's no real stats for this in the admiralty -- really transition not to answer what the exact word for news but they score so many points basically. I for their defense I mean in transition off of whether it be steals blocks shots rebounds outlets. You know it it. They have so many weapons on this team where either Rondo can attack the basket in you know draw. Drug defenders or they can kick it out to two Ray Allen I mean tonight it was justices the whole first half it was textbook I mean Rondo would just outlet to -- Ray Allen and these new driver hit the open junction."

" I don't know who also have rather -- a report -- now."

" Not to especially the way shooter this season and lately I mean he buried six tonight and it seems like he's been consistently. -- lately at least you know four or five a game."

" Dad out while great -- have a great night."

" I -- Greg -- side's John -- year Celtics relied up until midnight 61777. Died steroids fifty toll free. 888525850. Smoke lines -- talk about the Celtics in their impressive unbelievable start it is the same exact start they've had. They had last season at this time. The ten game winning streak the last -- won ten straight games was back on February 24 to march 12. Of of last season and they've won ten straight here I have to this eighteen to -- start. And Rajon Rondo the first Celtic point guard to have a triple double of the game since. Since Dennis Johnson did actually back in the playoffs. Back in in the eighties it was it in a playoff game I don't know of the exact date but it was actually may have 1988 was the last time. That -- Dennis Johnson completed. While point guard completed triple double that was the Celtics point guard that was in the playoffs but Rondo -- and unbelievable during this stretch here's -- Robin McCarty rob."

" job yes rob pay out don't you know we're not going to I'm -- I don't negate all of our wondering what happened. You won't go like within the first minute or so -- called a quick and -- expect you know Eddie House came and gave Brodeur on the on the sideline."

" I don't exactly type -- yeah -- it was it was in the within the first like two minutes twenty seconds I think happened tell exactly at 1040 the first quarter. What happened was. In on -- play when he was -- dribbling the ball TJ Ford was defending. Is he can't hit the bat his mouth and I hit the back of TJ Ford's head as what would happen and he split his upper lip. That's why he left left the game but then. That he he came back -- but he actually did. Miss a little bit of time there because Hughes he missed about four or five minutes. I'm about I don't know four minutes he missed about four minutes. Which speaks. You know it will -- which makes the triple W more impressive because it was different stretches of the game -- he completed the triple double. Basically couple minutes. In the third quarter less than two minutes into the third quarter which is really impressive considering you missed about four minutes in the first quarter and if you remember 2. There was a three point shot. That was called off right before the half. Now he he hit -- cause I thought that was going to be a Fowler continuation I think the refs screwed that up. -- that should have been at three in a file and they didn't give it to -- I -- that there was couple points of the board I mean he could actually ended up in this game. With the win the round you know twenty points in maybe another sisters. Right -- had a problem run yours shine and caribou Maine he shot."

" Hey hey -- I'm the first."

" And you know it's great show and I did is the first time -- to the Celtics show from caribou Maine."

" However I am proud to say that I might probably get their six hour drive from Bosnia I thought that that once you go to Red Sox that. And then a cup of -- can't spell I wish I could now closed and the bonds. Yeah I am actually am fifteen minutes west of Canada and the northern part of being well liked in no way -- that air in the winter break a -- about the blues. I don't know not and that's significant that it actually read about thirty degrees and that's 200 snow on the ground nets were actually at like 200 interest not -- get quite a bit of -- up yeah 200 -- You know what I had a couple quick but the game out of this one right Rondo obviously everybody you know breaking my anatomy exists. Some special Milosevic and like every every team has explain that -- some -- that we can't match. As tradition shooting I don't expect them take too much on shots but. I was like no equity think you resembled you have that occurred in the player or maybe yes former NBA focused reminds me that well. We have a reputation -- you know -- play and make the greatest yet. Great read that you don't expect too much earshot that you know they yeah."

" You that I don't think -- It's a bad -- this gives a lot bigger I mean I think that Rondo plays bigger than his seismic kid is a guy that was sort of special talent is a great rebounder for point guard another guy that won't give via. A lot of points coming can occasionally hit -- jab jab but I agreed outside shooter I don't accept what sort of score I don't think that compares. It for sure yeah I don't think that's bad comparison to especially in the assist apartment to well that's what it was. Really known for but I."

" What are the -- assistant -- expect an assailant then he's gotten although I don't see them look he cheated on me you know at top speed. It certainly shockingly improving here there aren't a freak so that you run conservatives feel like you -- better than that beginning that was you know."

" Yeah. The way boil down last season if you remember they they kind of started to leave them all they've left the ball at all all the time and even now."

" Expect the National League be like the score now they think he's just that player and why they're legitimate shot and I think they're surprised sometimes really Balkans and he doesn't knock them."

" Yeah well I mean he does is is still hesitant and I'd still like to see him hit you know that 1516 foot jump shot. You know Marat when they when they leave them open he started to hit dead more late in the season and even in the playoffs at times. And this season he seemed again can revert back to you know bad habits where he would either be hesitant or. No overt actually can have more."

" Sometimes take or -- or -- forced some shots I mean I think that. He can as an awkward shooting -- I don't like the way that the way he shoots the."

" mean now I think he's somewhat regular better. Former yeah little. That's what that's exactly the word I was looking for -- and the format elect the way takes and I mean. You know sometimes. Guys I've scenes there's been -- and a weird shots styles and whatever works for some guys just doesn't seem like he has good rotation. On his jump shot may be too many line drives but I know that the team is working on that he's working that yeah --"

" He's an aggressor and -- huge shot at a lot more I think he's going to make you more consistently you know he has so they're even more so for you know yeah he's been."

" 22 years only -- What's it in the -- think over the next 34 years. There's no doubt he's going to be one of the premier point guards in the."

" The Mets are sort of there's not this year he will be make -- not certain."

" Sure like Daniel B draws story if not this season and in my thoughts."

" You're the better execution and doing you know now I'm sure I don't know a lot of it is fans are real world not -- last eleven sort of culture I thought cause they should put my looking at the -- Victories they're certain the players that the."

" He had stated digress amid a threat if the Celtics maintain. This that this case there -- best record in the Eastern Conference doc will be the coach and I'm sure Buick and Doc Rivers amid. Rondo as a reserve him."

" Now very quickly do you have any concerns -- appears a though is that like the big games like -- you -- he had that big game against Toronto with a new season had a big court actually that he does not slower this year than like easing past."

" Yeah well actually it's really been lately over the past I'd say 56 games -- so he had that huge third quarter against Orlando on Monday night. But other than that tonight wasn't a good night actually was a bad game for about."

" If I live -- at some speed now that's on believe there's much sports yeah yeah yeah when it that's it I mean imagine if there was just Paul Pierce -- in the show. They -- going to -- it was like here alert but without yeah well you know let -- that would last his."

" Him by thirty. He has been he has a hand injury so I think has talked about it to -- so I don't know if that's what I'm sure plays into it I mean I would think especially with the shot. And especially his jump shot because there was some instances tonight nice our previous games as well that he was basically front ramming step they usually."

" Atlanta lost Darren had an error and didn't look at England don't ever let that that the problem it's not -- hand injury is bothering -- variety -- sort of don't try to exploit yourself and you know eighteen I --"

" The other teams know about it is no doubt him in the every team knows about pretty much importance of that but I mean yeah it. They they do need his scoring definitely if they're going to repeat as champions I mean they can hornet and some games like this for instances some others. Let's get playoff time there there really going to need him but I I think he'll bounce back."

" I'm pretty sure I'm pretty confident this start goes into being in the same -- at a -- that you must -- like kindergarten. Among those dedicated standard Brandon Medders yeah because there are not used the like that -- XP and -- on topic has been since the eighty's and ninety's yet the bulk carriers -- now assists. Some different -- McEnroe I'm only twenty fighters also like. The bird days that it don't hit it good is he might team you know actually. Maintain that championship title rival and also that EG the government virtually."

" well I hope so -- they get a lineup that way thanks so much after the Colin good phone call. John writer here -- Celtics through I'd take your calls up and amid I would get open last -- 61777. Died. 850 toll free 888525. Zurich fifty Celtics -- the Pacers won fourteen to 96 to that at the garden and and three players really steady guy on this one Rajon Rondo. His first career triple double seventeen assists which is a career high scores the sixtieth as the thirteen rebounds for -- six foot one. Ray Allen season high 31 points connecting on 63 pointers. They had a big first quarter and really a big first half for Ray Allen Kevin Garnett was huge in just 32 minutes scores 26 points grabbed fourteen rebounds so. Another dominant effort for the Celtics have won ten or let's talk about a quick break in back to your calls after this."

" since. Good drama in my room and when he's as aggressive as he is. Soon learned some -- some easy looks. The last two weeks he's been pushed the ball you know in the bottom of the floor. Just like TJ forward -- and I lose shooters and you know we don't someone famous we've been we've been doing things."

" That's reality after tonight's big went over the Pacers went fourteen to that he six Allen with a season high in game high 31 points in this one as he backs down 63 quarters. And he was -- that and a lot of assists for Rajon Rondo in this one. Rondo with a seven team and he had the triple double a lot of times news station off to -- out it was a bad jump shot or that three pointer. I'm John -- this is Celtics rewind it would take your calls a little midnight 617779. -- fifty toll free 888525. 850. I'll get right spectacles a moment but first -- get. That's -- it's actually. Something that you might be interest in consider this the Celtics Joe -- the -- collar right now. At 6179311850. To you to relay of the Boston Celtics 20072008. Championship season.

And right back the calls ago and here's John and Korey John."

" Any. A -- Walker's excellent start Rondo Rondo absolutely -- keep you repeat this Celtics. Never how. When Rondo is our Rondo would opt to earn a victory you can't make -- apply. But baker also that's where they have they're back gate when Rondo hit -- Not to write more on that ever. Pats beat they'd never hat off the right Rondo played that."

" I think he's extremely integral there's no doubt about it I mean you know I think Kevin Garnett is up there and then list you can argue back and forth. As Torre's KG or Rondo. I think Kevin Garnett -- these defensive presence the most important player on this team but I do agree with you John I mean -- Rondo was not around. Who's your point guard out I mean who who's the guys can be bringing the ball up the court and the fact the way he's improved his for his drive deep fences and and and guys passing ability and even -- just all facets of the game really especially over these past 1011 games has been unbelievable."

" That's a popular city shooting. Despite not but the callers earlier. I don't I don't think it's an injury because they think he had that injury -- a few weeks ago we had those two huge bat to back game."

" It might have gotten worse job."

" It's an Internet and that's possible I think that it might even more pretty low cut issue. Where I. I think -- kind of tweak how we using all meet your part of you're trying to Rick you made it a little bit Paul used to be out there would be second unit in the second quarter a lot. And -- that left now. Paul would be out there he'd get hot -- a few points in the city unit became. And Eddie House -- an all the other guy."

" Yeah like he was out there in the second unit tonight he got forty minutes to nine."

" Well can I might EE -- are all very I don't should that happen in the dorm and mixing Ray Allen and their more in the second quarters. And I think I'd -- Pierce's minutes without a little bit I don't think you're getting into the flow quite St. And you know also take into account. Blowing Qingdao in Paul Pierce really isn't it best when tight."

" I do agree with that point I mean I think he's one of those guys that thrives in pressure situations -- and lately. And sometimes it takes him a little while to get rid of them I mean there's times I've seen him even in the first quarter does get off to a hot start and gets -- maybe in the second or sometimes even in the third quarters and so many big. Third and fourth quarters. He's had much better games typically in the second half than he has in the first half. Which is what you want really went way it when it's crunch time or or a difficult game situation. But I do agree with the in the fact that you know at times to lessen the minutes. That they don't -- them as much certainly these blowout games ago. And is reason why easily averaged around eighteen points. Which still the team but I mean there's times where you go opera -- there's other times says seventy but again I think that. You know. That -- thing I I haven't seen him do even when he does have off nights. The way he's badly miss some jump shots the way as over the past few games and that's what makes me think about and not so much of the way -- running the options."

" Not connected to help out our ability yet."

" Because I mean god I don't hear a loyal fan I was Pritchard called. Cause I mean have you really seen a -- remember too many times rice not. Paul peers -- on you know 1618. Foot jump shot. And and some of those were open looks in mean India it is decent offensive team but nothing you know a stalwart marquis stand his pretty good. Defensive player and I think he played pretty good against alters that but still. I mean there was some open looks for appears on a couple of different instances I remember. Where he had like a seventy foot jump shot and it barely touched the rim and there was a couple of those -- I can't remember that ever really happen too often. He was having a pour -- offensive night."

" He's usually usually around -- like it's not knocking it discount the popular I can dictate and got its way I just. I'm thinking that it might not be at bat it there other factor almighty not you you're -- that backhand injury could be."

" Can beat it can be a lot of different Emeka -- hand injury it could be just. Plated symbol or maybe analyzing too much you might be just in a mini slump here or might be -- a little bit tired yourself that you know what I mean maybe. You know maybe it's just an offensive slump of late. He looked good -- you know the third quarter Monday in Orlando against Orlando. But there's other times certainly lately that he's had some bad games -- mean you think about it Charlotte. Although it turned it on -- I mean there's different different situations where. It's been kind of inconsistent offensively."

" Yet that that's what makes the great bet. When it's a tight situation that you can't get -- it is juices flowing. That's what you gonna go -- it really come up big it's just wait no it wasn't just on Hodges tonight. Then you know I'm sure Paul Pierce would have -- eat just that spot probably worn out eight just now."

" Area south of there is something going on though I think as far as as pierce is I mean how but this -- to have ever seen this before and remember this happened tonight I just out of it. I mean I signed him pass up an open shot pass it to Brian Scalabrine I don't think I've ever seen. I don't think I don't know if we'll ever see that again in in in Celtics basketball I mean Paul Pierce and -- shot opportunity passed enough. To to Scalabrine -- also another play -- pass to Ray Allen at the top of the key. And then Ray Allen tried to give it back it appears as if that. I think they wanted to get -- some sort of read them. And it pierce took the shot -- it was a bad shot from three it was like an air ball so I mean there was some of that there's something going on here and it's not typical Paul Pierce certainly night."

" Maybe you don't let me and he just coast picked. -- he just coasting early it can turn it on after the All-Star break."

" You know worried and then you play Iowa -- some gentle and well I mean I think."

" EE EZ he -- a guy that always plays -- he's a gym -- he's always in their practices and I don't think his first. Guy taking breaks but I mean I think there's times where this team. This with a one scary aspect is that there're always able to turn it on put away teams. That they don't become complacent and think that you know we -- just bury any team and come back whenever we want."

" Now yeah I I don't -- the collaborative team. Effort like that -- a beat there are nights where all like just that they're eight rays on KG darn. -- those -- they don't -- to connect what I'll rebound I'll pass out to real bad but there's only to exert much energy. -- level particular pounding playing all fears -- all. You know we're I think we're clearly played a big deal or now despite yeah. Probably some of that too there's always some of that -- in St. Why why did they meet biggie we'll look at everybody every."

" I don't know I don't think here's really is that type of player though and I don't think he takes breaks I mean I think it was just. I -- I think he he looked visibly upset evidence and there's for the called you know get a block. I think he looked visibly upset I mean at times even other Cruz is obviously happy and it -- in the thing about Pierce's. It rather have a bad shooting night only -- 68 and the Celtics win by eighteen than him score. You know 3040 points and then lose by ten I mean he's guided certainly button to do the winning system year. But I still think he was a little bit upset at himself. For some of the shots he was taking some of the shots he was missing tonight here's Ernie in -- hearing."

" In Germany and I'd like to did you of -- people. Call them. Lucy Colvin. Gap but the Paul Pierce missed at least a while war I don't think they're worried at least evolved worries I'm not discernible all of its all -- She changed nickname from the truth. Typical but when it's counted when the money's on the line this year demand is calm through big time. All right so I'm not."

" While I was saying that the previous scholars say need -- no doubt that. Second half -- games yours certainly taking situations in the fourth quarter he's been dominant."

" Absolutely now as far particularly goes if you if you look at the numbers can look at the numbers altering their numbers aren't that. But by which you which you have regular Rondo step but not be able to purpose step it up. -- the bench step -- up. -- win it big baby now granted big baby import -- off the map these last few games but look at -- but look at the team result. -- To pitch and last season. This compared to two record the -- it identical records and I'm sorry. They've got the -- this year there have been --"

" No well I take that out stated it earlier at first I Ames birdied this season were much more difficult than what I would call and the travel schedule in the back to back -- November's been a jam packed month. And I -- the reason they're winning this it is deepens first and foremost and you're right the scoring his dad but it's been balance."

" But -- predicted that they did the wins have been impressive they've been very impressive in my opinion. And as it is leading goal for the rocket was there you don't need to win ball game got to worry about replicated but I think you have to have had kept -- culture of winning. And I guess he -- and I think every game counts. Just go back -- in the playoffs that they didn't have that all of a home court advantage who says they win the championship."

" Well they've waited -- whatever they needed the home court there are believable at all -- especially those seven game series against Atlanta and in Cleveland."

" And get nostalgic here. It is too -- back to 23 years ago when dating debate made that trade. Often form -- into it was what the trade. He traded for the four -- Rajon Rondo but he saw some. Another dominant in the rough well yeah that drastic and yet but it wouldn't trade forms didn't have a little surprise --"

" Yeah -- guy it was via trade your right they have get that pick. And you know it's what -- ready if you remember when they for select average on rod whoever was wondered well that was that was who's this guy Eddie why they do it. I -- that and even diet -- question I was wondering does that mean we it's. I I didn't watch it gets enough Kentucky basketball than in a lot of people I mean all the scouts never would say well you know this guy can't hit a jump shot to save his life. And that in that -- was big enough to be a point guard in the NBA and we've been proven wrong that."

" That is -- last point but could done a remarkable. And that's what --"

" Well what's scary about this team already is they say that they don't even feel like your offense is completely in gear."

" I don't believe that it is and I -- John."

" What's scary about this team I mean they feel like there's a lot of times where their defense is is -- which I think is is obvious but a day. Still think there's a lot of room for improvement as far as offense goes."

" You -- quick jump before you got let me go our goal and going forward again I have the utmost confidence in this game. But I'd I'd still believe I still believe are we going to lead at another piece. Off that bench. Up opposite is a somewhat inconsistent. That it -- scoreboard of consistent player. Well they just goes to -- out of those guys that are great players that they consistency is not yet. Okay let exit poll we haven't seen -- king the best support the last last 67 games."

" As such great stuff early in the season Tony Allen is shown a lot of glimpses he's sooner right now but. I I've been saying this basically since the season started and since this show started I still think that they need to add another absolutely edge and I think bill. And I don't know whether that will be in the form of of a true backup point guard or you know -- I gotta give real more than seem to -- to return or it weather be a forward."

" I honestly John -- it could be could be a guy like a walk that I liked that game. I'll let you walk in the -- don't know and slash. The great defender I hit it and it remembered the good that would include McDonald's all American is yeah he's not ready yet ready under our Obama is he ready now but -- he's Jones along yeah."

The final score Boston won fourteen Indiana 96 that would."
