Celtics Rewind, HOU @ BOS

" Vegas is Celtics -- line up on Sports Radio we fifty WEEI. Outing when he went up overrated slam but he missed it by himself on the rim. And it's dealt with -- the other way around those jumbled mass thriller Ray Allen through. Headed that Bears this week that you would see them points fourth Super Bowl for an -- Usually -- to talk about the Boston Celtics with John -- feel -- great -- Big baby went for a jump shot out every Phillips to begin when it was you -- from here went underneath me. You know laughing on the eleventh landing out great Celtics -- Eric and going god they believe it will be over the Rockets have lost six here were fraternity here. Now the Celtics who succeed me. Not good victory earned three consecutive losses for the first time this year and last away. People figured the Celtics would be heading. Showdown game in Cleveland. Three consecutive Watson and they have lost the conference lead and another fourth quarter lead the final score from the garden used it 89 spot that 85. On Sports Radio weeks fifty W we."

" This really seemed unthinkable unimaginable just a couple weeks ago with the Celtics were cruising and just. -- 27 that -- start. When he got nineteen straight games well. Since then and really since right after Christmas Celtics would play their worst basketball in quite a while I'm John -- this is Celtics three wide. -- take your calls at 617779. Steroid fifty toll free 88852. Fives are worried fifty. And a pound WEEI punch that upon you Verizon cellphone minutes of recall as the Celtics lose again that Dallas six of their last eight. And three straight and they've lost three -- for the first time since last February. And if last a double digit lead at home the year which should just doesn't happen -- don't even lose home games it won thirteen straight. And -- before this loss to the Rockets denied 8985. The of vital. Where the Celtics order again in the fourth quarter and they can't seem to find that off to -- going. In the second half for Lleyton gains and whether that's -- as a result of being tired from. All this -- play on the road of blade -- and all these games catching up to him all the sudden ever other team treating. These games like while others like championship games considering -- playing the defending champs whatever the case may be the Celtics are clearly struggling right now. And they have their toughest opponent in some while coming up on Friday night when they take on the Cavaliers in Cleveland which should be a marquee matchup. A difficult matchup you would think for the Celtics the way they're playing lately. Or do they bounce back on Friday and that's question for you guys that you're in the -- to answer is well and what's wrong with -- says Celtics team right now by the way Cleveland improved to. Eighteen you know at home they're now 28 and six. Oh overall whereas the Celtics dropped 29 and seven so Cleveland with the best record right now in the eastern -- Cavaliers blast the Bobcats. 11181 those same Charlotte Bobcats would beat the Celtics. Now last night surely no real surprise Cleveland winning that one went by -- authority but the Celtics lose this one by -- they get out scored by Houston. Eighteen to eleven. In the fourth quarter you can look at a couple of things in a couple. Key players on the Celtics that are struggling right now and one being Ray Allen and shooting just four of the routine denied. Finished with a thirteen points one of war for about. Three point distance. Had five rebounds six assist a couple of turnovers as well for Ray Allen he's just eleven of his last 51 shooting. In another -- game for Asia and Rondo wed. Five points that to a four shooting five assists but four of those assists coming in the first quarter. -- Perkins is to one shot he miss that clearly get outplayed by Yao Ming who was really the player of this game. Certainly for Houston yeah with the 26 points and eight rebounds Aaron Brooks. A huge game off the bench who's set went about five -- it -- six feet but. Really has yet the year he had nineteen points in nailed a couple of reporters and again made Von wafer. With a key three pointer late in the game he had twelve was in the starting lineup because there was no. Tracy McGrady was so you look at Houston you -- around our tests do files that what is solid game seventeen points but he didn't play last netted Philly because."

" He's been suffering. -- ankle injury. Tracy McGrady doesn't play Louise -- who's been big for Houston lately doesn't scored only -- to rebound CAD eighteen points and seventeen rebounds the last Philadelphia last night. Rafer Alston would just -- so. When you think about it he looked at Houston he -- attest Baghdad. Although we did have a decent game considering he would despite the fact he found that. And Rafer Alston in their point guard does to anything what their you know big time -- Luis cola. It really didn't play well -- didn't play well at all -- daddy a's -- and you know how how they get this done when you think about it while you got guys like Aaron Brooks and Von wafer. Beating this vaunted Celtics team -- their second loss at all let's get to the phones and -- Jim and Quincy agent."

" They jar I don't know what Jim are you Michael Barrett is one that there -- uptight game back. And yet they don't want a Baltic -- ray Ray Allen is now washed up -- should be on the senior fellow at. -- What you're really gave it our all these wide open in an -- ought to."

" Yeah I mentioned last three games eleven of 51 I mean that's not what you want and I think that washed up really should I would spacewalk -- dubbed Jim Burmese. You know -- You know that that's -- a little bit far he has played well. Over the last couple weeks and he can't just point to him I mean when you think about it Rondo hasn't played too well lately Ray Allen in even Kendrick Perkins is -- Pierce's played well in in Barrett at that. But that's been there's been two guys really do want it lately for the Celtics and and you know and they really need Rondo. As for his you know creating options for the Celtics he has been doing -- in the second half. You mentioned Ray Allen I don't think he's washed up but he has been. He's been played poorly and Kendrick Perkins. You know hit miss certainly a missed tonight for him."

" Right but I think our way out should be at the LYEA. -- week that would I daddy. The -- he gets swapped their being quite open dropped the not to do that."

" Yeah I he has been playing well I will agree with the Natalie Liane I won't go as. I mean they're going to need him late and I don't know whether they might have to decrease his minutes. He's been averaging more minutes than anyone else on the Celtics -- most -- died at forty in is coming off I believe he played 49 minutes in the overtime game last night."

" I'm an Ali -- opening act. If I put eight at air quality ownership ugly matinee because now they expect kept all that -- though that. But that's what they get a player out there or what they look at where we want I'll."

" Now I'd Jim thanks -- for the call it big kids him. Maybe go -- a little bit too far there would Ray Allen I think I think Gary Arnold bounced back at some point but he is clearly struggling right now without question of fact. Most of the Celtics are and you know you can say. I heard Kevin Garnett briefly on the on the press conference after the game saying it's defensive stops late in the game and it's you know always k.s says his team -- Is dictated a deep -- in how they play did you know -- win but also I picked it. A concern it and really you know last night it was turn overs in some. Some foul trouble as well in dead tonight there really wasn't even the turnovers dude was a -- rebounding it was just the fact that the Celtics. Plain and simple couldn't score and is certainly in the second half this is a game where they had a ten point lead and one quarter realize that was in the first half and they actually trailed. At the half in this 152 to 49 but. -- long losing six of their last stayed in in the fact that you know Houston. A very good team when they have their old team together but they're really banged up they had last six debate may at last five in a row on the road before this so. When you look at it yes. And I don't know whether it's just a case of fatigue or what I think there's a multiple problems right now. With the Celtics and will be very telling how they play I think enough Friday. Against Cleveland which you know. It's probably their toughest opponent is their toughest opponent in the Eastern Conference and let's see if they can respond like JP -- championship teams do. And respond with a win at Cleveland on Friday night here's up Purcell in Boston a Purcell."

" I don't -- John. You are right has been a while on how. How come you and having allowed -- I don't know where he was again our pick and Brady you know. I have you know washed up I think this is -- often. You know and when you know when everything is not clicking when the ball now open properly -- not you know delivering the ball in and everybody in this spot they're going to struggle. Because I do think that is how they are the offices that are. I'm looking out at you know we we Garnett banged up and I think that rarely is key but memory now and the fact that. You know it it is also likely help people are hungry off the bench you know I mean I was I was pretty what's the -- and it eating at all last year everybody was pretty much on the product or bring. So you'll. Eight they're going to have to do some adjustments for this team I'm thinking if you trade you don't get a few veterans who you know haven't won it and he you know he has that hunger that their -- championship. You know like me like what the bullet and what it would do you know. It would peak demand equal but they -- you -- would be raised pieces you know you know -- season but even trades you'll regain their so what are that would be neat because everybody reading this scouting report they know what they can and can't guard you and Eric -- what ways this spot."

" Yeah I agree I mean I don't know of you know you need wholesale changes I do agree that they need. A couple pieces of the benched and I was kind of odd because I thought Gabe Pruitt not odd I'm just saying the way the bench played -- you know your game solid games from Gabe Pruitt Glen Davis. Eddie House they need to get him going shooting -- one of five or three from. Three point distance Aaliyah -- eight rebounds but but they do need another score they need."

" Yeah. That you and big hit another god or at -- six and they -- you know hit it you know. If you think about -- situation O'Connor column you know kind of a kind of player at this point you know I mean you know act you know these. Big Z you know pieces my finger the medical field changes in you know not treating an old but -- a lot of people wait. About the same -- means you need though is need no more common are that and I think he's -- battery. I mean every -- starter -- before coming here are elements of on the from him but the Saints are. You know you -- can get away against some money. You know -- that is. You know just the journeyman."

" I you know I had a lot of people stress Stephon Marbury and you know I don't mind that move because. -- it doesn't work I just let him go right away although he you know he certainly wanted to work out but I think more than anything you know maybe they do need a big I mean you know they -- there -- you know it's interesting I think it is for us in -- games including tonight Gabe -- fourteen minutes I wonder if they're trying to. Bring him along -- that point guard -- off the bench because he is EI troop."

" You got many houses are well Eddie House is the point guard these two guys you know he's he's usually. Don't."

" It is yet you -- Purcell and any you know there is some there's a couple of and thanks for the call I mean. You know. Shooting is such -- streaky staying here and right now ray Allen's call that he's one of their shooters. Eddie House is cold right now and you're expecting him to bury some jump shots here and there and that's not happening Rondo has been a struggling as far as. No point guard position and now Perkins get -- played tonight gather all that together. I mean that usually amounts of allies in. I don't know whether this team -- eight. You know I know this with a veteran team you don't need a lot of practices I don't think I mean. I don't to be bad thing for this team I -- to northern they're going to go over the film in and and also looking ahead to Cleveland as well. To this team just get some practice time together because they haven't had much in just get back to the basics I mean. There's seems that time Lleyton at times like their passing too much. Other times they're passing too little and and -- in the wrong spot said times in you know the pick and rolls and just. Basic offensive plays it seems like Japan -- in the second half now whether it's due to them. Just you know being a little bit tired I don't want to make excuses I don't know what it is exactly -- pinpoint what it is but. You know ray -- hitting open jump shots or hitting that jump shot did you seem. Kind of you know inept that time certainly an offense in the second half and."

" dead teams -- start to play better defense customer. Words were other teams are making adjustments and Celtics aren't reacting. To those adjustments and Jenrette reduces says Celtics relied take your calls up until 11 o'clock after a Celtics last that last six of eight now which is brightens and after you know the way things are going just couple weeks ago and he had think he'll be fine. I mean that that this is a team just gone through a little bit below and they will bounce back -- no question I don't know about Friday -- Cleveland. But B that's a real statement game for the Celtics and I think will be telling what the Celtics team has made. We're taking your calls of 1161777. -- Zurich fifty toll free 888. 525 Zurich fifty tidy -- to -- old I'll get right your calls after corporate."

" Your reasons why Aristide should be so great for momentum seemed to improve."

" Did make you just super that he thought."

" That's he's just get them. Radio network. Aaron Brooks still was down 44% shooting in another fourth quarter with some of the toughest got away brooks' foot -- got him. And the Rockets have come back that take the lead again another second half meltdown here for the Celtics. They need energy -- from the crowd they're going to get it."

" Disappointing fourth quarter to say the least for the Celtics disappointing game as they -- 89 Q. 85 to the Rockets to -- the burden of job -- the Celtics relied take your calls -- until. 11 o'clock here will get right back -- because we were elected a fourth quarter. It gave -- giving up some energy off the bench dives down their three to give him a five point lead. A lot jumper as well. Keep that lead at 57970. For the 836 to go that you get it. Yao Ming jump hook and an Aaron Brooks is just heard of that cut with a -- grid with a call. You're a WEI -- Burke steals the three with a four minutes ago gives Houston a two point lead and then Yao -- again. And -- Von wafer is that Big Three would 44 seconds left it looked like the Celtics were going to get this one. What about a minute thirty wouldn't Kevin Garnett they clamp down on him in traffic there was about four defenders of unbelievable."

" In the back past two Rondo is near by himself the -- it in but. Yao Ming really the key in this one for Houston so mother's in a game where Houston was looking to avoid their sixth straight to road laws. And they get it done it despite the fact that -- and their best scorer Tracy McGrady is playing. One of their better defenders. The bench Shane Battier is out he had run our test playing with a hurt ankle. And they'll always -- Rafer Alston to do anything for Houston tonight yet they still beat the Celtics by four at the garden. Where the Celtics previous to this at 113 in a row at home. And they had a double digit lead earlier and less time they lost to double digit lead at home. Was last march against Philadelphia let's get right back to sponsors Todd Corey Todd."

" And -- there rather gone all right not that we. Fake dead you know I just I want to comment on the -- and that call to colors previous. Who Ray Allen. -- who who jumps all over Ray Allen win as you know I'm not mistaken I got a majority -- in creating --"

" Yeah he did I mean he was their leading scorer for awhile right now he's right around you know seventeen points -- game is clearly struggled lately but at the same time I mean he can't pinpoint. One guy here is the problem with the --"

" An album what I know that. Ray Allen have seen him play last year for us go through struggles and then come alive self. I'm not worried about that and that I just think it's funny that stands. You know Celtics win nineteen in -- older they look strong. And not a big -- last match people -- drop off that bandwagon. Talkin' smack about certain players I think it's. I think it's it's it's pretty funny ending. It can rightly SKI just came from the game and you could see that this subject couldn't get their shot off three Big Three -- opportunities couldn't hit. And I Houston had their shots and that was the deciding factor at the end of the game we were -- it. But I just you know couldn't finish it."

" Yeah and I you only hired. Mentally tired from a nineteen game winning streak I lost a lot of tired from a lot of travel I mean you valuable. You know the mid nineteen games in a row is. Is that major feat and it's it's it's hard not to wait each night in the NBA but to a Yankee hero. Lots and lots of work make --"

" That's for sure -- Adam I mean there's some problems with this team obviously right now and you know at the same time. I don't really have any doubt that the Celtics will both be able to bounce back coming in Cleveland certainly a tough mansion coming up on Friday night and you know. It wouldn't be insane I don't think to think that the Celtics win that game on Friday night for whatever reason Iowa and I wouldn't think could be the biggest. -- in the world globe but the surprise the way they're playing right now in the way Cleveland's playing at home. I think that the Celtics are really all of a sudden have something to prove whereas other teams had something to prove. When it came to these games and in the Celtics -- usually the team that you know he didn't really worry too much about but. Right now clearly struggling a bunch of different guys struggle when you look at tonight's game I think really can't count. You know Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett is the only two starters that played well at that -- for Glen Davis the bench or were decent besides that you know ineffective. For the most part for most of these guys here's Eddie in a car hey --"

" They shot Nadal at the -- A good or -- begin tonight just like an observation that it makes her remarkable doubles or score a fight it out. Opposite sides of problems are the fourth quarter -- chance you know albeit Clint Kriewaldt what core participation around the opposite -- a little -- But overall -- the term. Just the you know the -- to -- obviously they've already lock a playoff spot they can about -- but I think to lopsided it indeed add another big. You know they got a good fortune it is -- honestly he is a complaint as well last -- it is bad pitches in last year. I think it's really talked to them you know Pollock Davis you know their strategy gas they have a lot of limitations just from the -- that lack of."

" Well that's at the height and experience I mean certainly when you look at the Glen Davis that Leon -- Valuable experience and I think they both play bigger than their actual height certainly Leon Powe does that mean -- they list him at 68 so is currently around. You know 67 in when you -- about big baby. You know is or is the you know six now regrets succeed yeah I mean and they've looked at that I mean attacked about Dikembe Mutombo -- he's 42 years old -- goes back to play for used and he didn't play tonight. He's not ready to go yet. As they just re sign him I don't know if that was the answer it fizzled there really neither guy. -- as for his when it comes to a big you know that you know. Just -- give them ten minutes is solid play wherever that might be in wherever. They may be to acquire mean a lot of talk about Joe Smith I don't know for Oklahoma City will even do that. Considering that is contracts expiring after this season and you know that that frees up cap space for them in salary for them. So I don't know where the Celtics will find it but I wouldn't be surprised if they do end up finding. Again attic and get him some rebounds maybe at a mid range jumper I mean basically what they're looking for come playoff -- late in the season. It is you know and other PJ brown in -- might even be PG who knows I mean he says he's retired but. It's really an official at this point here's a beauty and -- Boston David."

" you're on the year you can drive back here's here's up."

" Pablo and so we're really Pablo. It was -- are done at the line. From. Two to -- actually in the gate and it goes down it. At the sparkle Derek curry -- quite floor yeah."

" Every player that he kept up -- viewers this others could be the BC basketball team right now."

" Well I mean. You know not that."

" Now our -- I know they had that huge win on Sunday at North Carolina which is extremely impressive and then you know big let down and I'd obviously."

" Brett well I I detects the very end of the game -- the keep career ended up playing in a little bit and the minister arms stretched. Wondered what you thought the others do better showcasing him it's possible. -- make it we think that it to be showcasing."

" You know that's a possibility Pablo I mean I think it's one of two things either there it is that they could be showcasing him as part of a trade you know I've noticed he said extended minutes recently. I don't know you know. That could be a possibility or it could be the possibility that yeah. They want to see what Gabe Pruitt has to operate as a backup point guard before they make a decision on Stephon Marbury. We'll open up both maybe you know I mean I'd I think that's one of two I mean they certainly want to. I think its interest he curious right now that they've been playing more minutes he got fourteen minutes tonight against team that usually is pretty solid defensive team and no there isn't there and have some players rated go to night but still -- fourteen minutes. And you know as nice outside shot you know he's certainly true point guard so. It will be interesting to see what they do exactly with Gabe Pruitt as the season moves on."

" Yeah well I'll what do you think about the possibility that maybe you know if think that Rajon Rondo has -- Potential and the -- case and."

" that I betrayed him did not -- it. No way under no circumstances I know that he's he's struggled in sputtered lately at the career had nine turnovers last that'd Charlotte and another. Newport game tonight you know just five assists and four of those came in the first word recorded and -- problem turnovers but. That they've you know Rondo is their future point guard and you know every player I mean with the exception of the you know a few I mean well you know. You know with the exception of LeBron and Kobe wants the -- they have some -- games mean every player goes through a stretch where you know they're going to have a couple more games here."

" I I I agree with it Rhonda lot of potential future I think his stock however. I'm extremely."

" guy I'd be. I'd be to tell you that your I'd be absolutely. Stunned and astonished if they don't run."

" Well what do what do you could get a market came back for."

" And what if you quick route would be able the ball Marbury could be his starting -- keep you're."

" And I just think that the -- your mixed in too many things up now and in the year year. You're messing up chemistry and it -- in a bunch of other stuff the man -- some times chemistry is overrated but it seems like this group really plays well together. Not lately I just did but I think that dead they'll be able to get through this -- tough action and I think you know. Maybe not Friday night who knows with Cleveland but I'm sure when we start to talk about them next week and it's an interesting. The games coming up for them even next week when they have Phoenix at home or actually that's in the couple weeks but they have. Toronto coming up that Allman New Jersey as well a couple of games against New Jersey mean. There's some definitely winnable games coming up for the Celtics starting next weeks ago. We'll see what we're talking about that in in late in the season but I think Cleveland's you know let's see how they react really because it's the first time. And why really since the Big Three started here we're attacked in the you know before last season the Celtics have struggled. And seeing how they respond especially against the team that you know you would think he's going to challenge them for the Eastern Conference ground in Cleveland."

" Well you're excited appreciate -- Yeah I will I will I think -- it's going to be ingesting now I think I believe we have been in East Boston committee."

" I Johnny having everybody YouTube. Dot -- the little guy -- if fatigue LL bet -- they'll they'll be all right but -- I talk about dollar evident at a good friend -- in the -- on fox. And I got he's got a perfect guy and he was all me and I and I agree little. Rocket can't be looked tremendous in me at -- yet he held out BO BL the next a look at -- not. He'd be perfect for the skiing part he's a great shot -- rebound. That's a big game we would. It looked avenue all it'll -- that."

" He's definitely a guy that's a great rebounder and a shot blocker as -- with a checkered past but you know it was a lot of guys but I I don't -- to you know that would cost you Kendrick Perkins. Okay some other players as well. Now it's an interesting thought I don't know if they'll be able pull it off and certainly. You know it probably cost you I would think you know probably Kendrick Perkins. And a couple of other -- young players maybe you know givens for wooden. Were so."

" And again you can look at stats every night that I read Olympic. -- He's tremendously. Glad to -- grabbing -- that night block contention I -- Asia -- played incredible thing. You know I don't you know I think he'd be perfect pitch --"

" I mean he's when he's on his game once played there's the Albany. He is one of the best three matters best big men in the game -- tremendous shot blocker when he wants to play he can score as well. On coming in away considering obviously played basketball -- everything starts every yeah. Thirteen every mean he's one of those guys crisply for team right now the Clippers Europe's nowhere once touted. It's he plays and he matches we know how we. He played pretty well Denver last year but of course they -- team that. Was was very selfish it was probably too much Alan Iverson too much Carmelo Anthony together and he mixed in Marcus Camby as well which on paper looked terrific but. I don't know if were ready to make absolutely you know crazy yeah wholesale changes whose team it is I mean I think you know. They use a guy up -- should be got the bench in. Maybe at that point guard depending what they think -- develops but. You know I don't know about. Go and that ball as Torre's making these crazy trades certainly think -- The rout him the job on. Is crazy no way to be dealing him many times India's. A year and a half left on his current contract which the big bucks in thirty years -- Here's Barry out California Barry."

" That is not how I am -- are you. What Al chaos and just. You don't have to watch and that nineteen game winning streak and and you know beating out here -- that. You know we are right -- over the Lakers not aside as we -- did at the last minute and then all of a sudden we just gone down in apple and I don't know how to on talent yet this that this type thing about this team out that. It's seems suspect to me I I'd -- just out there not playing good deep -- In -- and now these guys were quite that hit the wall it looks like. Maybe it may -- the ages product but you know you know how age catches up and all of us -- wild and I'm start to wonder. Maybe last year was hey it was a great Robin. You know any that a good deal together after 22 year as we finally have it. Amp but you know -- stat I want that now I really out I I have to watch these guys night after night. I'm not convinced that this team is. Yeah out they might be out there at end air because let's face -- he's in division that kind of I've been down that did you."

" Well I mean I think it's it's it's weird the eastern conference because you get three. Maybe four really good teams and and the rest is a pretty much terrible but I mean I you know it's going to be this. You would think in the end Orlando's very solid Atlanta's decent team in Detroit's complain much better but really in the end I'd be shocked if wasn't -- Celtics in Cleveland competing for the Eastern Conference but."

" Well you know that things have gotten me out tonight -- do you watch in this state okay we should've never lost Charlotte last night. And they -- and and then throw come home to about eight MB just flat against. Houston I mean is that not a great ballclub I mean Eric -- they're respectable."

" They're very good when they have everyone playing together but usually always injured that was the case tonight."

" Yeah exactly but this team I don't know -- what -- accept don't see where are. In the end I seen this over number Gaines doesn't. Garnett you look like either I don't think hurt these tired. Or at least just. Maybe -- protection up but it you know what you think."

" Garnett I don't worry about him too much -- did suffer that calf injury on Sunday. -- leg injury on Sunday. Against New York and I know he plays every game like -- as -- went -- and let me -- but. I don't. I think he'll be fine I mean right now really I I don't think it is you know Kevin Garnett Paul Pierce played and it's really wrote Ray Allen Rajon Rondo and -- and at times Perkins so -- and you know over this really last stretch of past couple weeks and I think maybe Garnett pierce suppressing a little bit because they feel like they have to do more because the other guys kind of slacking up."

" Yeah out well that another thing I want askew. What that would apply it to our what you -- back there I keep cared about are very. We're jokes may have possibly out of whereas the other."

" Oklahoma said at that didn't work out a trade for that Barry get a move along here thanks for the call. Stephon Marbury years a ton of minutes been going I'm consistently -- of him and a lot of different stories Saturday could -- out on -- elsewhere. On talk about Stephon Marbury almost out of time let's get to Angelo and Everett Angel of."

" don't mightily but thank you I think the problem is if it's two things one. That the defense is totally not stepping up in the second half. They're they're the first step noticed that way especially the bench comes and that the point debt situation Gabe Pruitt is not. Appoint he's a back up point. Hobbies by nobody can clinical -- about trade Rondell now you don't do that in the future which there was an. You support. Go up the Stephon Marbury. You put in -- minute and off the bench a veteran leadership. It may feel awful all but with KG -- cabinet and KG get it is now on I think that get them depleted team plate and the second thing. Definitely need a back -- that maybe somebody maybe just -- typical work treatment and I've just -- the felt the need to -- cool. The bench and need to definitely. Or maybe have the big to -- it will be more than they have. Maybe of the bench guys -- along that note that the -- early the bench comes and and that's in the game start to slide and I I think that's what it might it could be that think."

" Number different things or at a time here a little too late year BC basketball covered up. -- Producing the show I'm John T after the Cleveland game on Friday night that should be interest in one --"

" says -- points out -- and it will be over the Rockets have lost six of eight the or worse tragedy here. Now it is the Celtics who will lose six of eight for the first time in the new Big Three era three consecutive losses for the first time this year the last way. People figured the Celtics would be heading into the showdown gave -- Cleveland. Three consecutive losses and they have lost the conference lead and another fourth quarter lead the final score from the garden. Houston eighty got busted 85."

" This time even smuggling a little radio it to your work place when you could've just been stringing us on line at WEEI got a cup. Talent on the year and Don lives in -- is that WEEI Sports Radio network."
