" Broadcasting live from the new -- world headquarters. Joining us in the dale and Holley leadoff spot as Sean -- the voice of the Celtics the leadoff spot brought -- double Mexican grill handmade for real. Log onto the dale and -- page and WEEI dot com received today special lunchtime opera or text you don't but. The 645336. And as if that wasn't enough that's too commercial plug so far joining us on the AT&T hotline AT&T your world delivered that's pre commercial plug so far. Because we need all that money just -- John -- hello --"
" Al -- got a plumbing product pick up. And I. Tonight we get worked out what -- which we can do that."
" Are you you would you be signing an -- charging for autographs as usual at Fleming's. John."
" The only way leaping Mac and I did -- are. You know our Celtics yet salary."
" Entercom stipend. We we started the show by San that was pretty impressive last night I mean you knew that they were gonna come out flying in the opener and they did. Celtics -- written and I thought a very impressive performance all around."
" And if you think about it if that goes wrong last night after everything that happened. Which they'd be in the Specter or Rondo just the 24 hours and had been before that and then you lose the big game. Cleveland and you look outside today and bright and shiny day in new England and all of a sudden it just you have that. That feeling that -- again it's not bad luck the bad -- but. It's almost you don't appreciate it. Almost it's as much as it was worked last night because picking up the big game at -- lakers when you're 27 -- and get the big build up going -- Christmas -- This was the Christmas date -- do it. Because there's no question that black -- polluter of the game last night he's gonna win sixty games. Or come close like something those rocks with the major gains on the schedule to win on the road and to do with that did get the -- is going to be all marked the depth that defense in this team and outlook the difference when you had shaky start the first unit in the second unit won the game."
" You know it's funny you look at the cavaliers in the Celtics -- talk about the offseason moves the Celtics picked up. Marquis Daniels and Rasheed Wallace the cavaliers obviously pick up Shaq. But to me despite the 38 points from LeBron James the player of the game to me was Paul Pierce -- looked deal."
" He looks not only great when the money were put on the table in the fourth quarter -- probably a perfect example now of what Paul Pierce. Is in can be he doesn't. To be what LeBron skilled does at least now which is the guy that -- to do it. For the middle for a minute of the second quarter as well and at the plate the Arctic 45 -- last -- and playing them at -- Effort because for the -- to score at least the game last night. The decline of right now they'd just all the new player new faces for the caps to scored have to be a tremendous effort. From abroad to do at least against the leaking like the Celtics were all you're gonna have to -- I didn't have to -- that. Until you need him to do it when it was on to put the game away last night you had -- pierce looking a bit you know he would be commander deeply thirty minutes left but that they weren't. The LeBron. -- All out have to do everything Mikey month old and to the floor peppermint. And that -- a huge if."
" I think in the NBA broadcasters handbook. There's -- of the page in their for the start of the season where broadcasters almost always have to say. Player X is in the best shape of -- of his life. In two -- last night in Paul Pierce's case Sino was brought up. I gotta tell you when I look at Kendrick Perkins he doesn't look like the same guy who first came up with the Celtics a few years ago."
" You up another copy that hymn book because -- so we stick Monica. Or max leaves an airport somewhere could -- decline -- about the -- to study this study up on it. You know Perkins -- what a way -- the company he had to. We have veteran team record and almost every thing you're gonna discussed about the -- is gonna pivot back to the same answer. Veteran team they'd been through it they know outlook like in how to do this -- abuse -- and coming back into the shape. Need to come back in the community Kendrick Perkins didn't know much about. First couple years originally and why would -- but not only do you learn your body learn what you need to do get optic seven years and also surrounded by a veteran team that almost tumbled peer pressure in the best possible way. To be professional. You'd be ready and your body -- it would take it's like all pierce or Allen Kevin Garnett she'd be gotten old shaping need to be an. What they need to use the month of October. Four and now what the -- even for because -- been rule. And a championship season where you play in 26 playoff game to. Plane under. The preceding. What the -- body Caribbean. Starting line. To be where it needs to be it from."
" Doug Collins said Rasheed was ten pounds still having did you agree -- now."
" I think there's the the issue to me which she now is not. Being cheap or not a signal I think it was great kind of significant part of the -- I think you know we -- she tried to area. That defense simply feel. Picking up the system and play calls and the comparable park up Celtics somewhat complicated. Defense. And he's still playing well in that now. -- DP is negated legs under him. That's obvious logic but it. At the only gonna get better so I don't he really depends on the world number she'd been kind of -- people role here. He's been in before -- become warmer optically -- outside shooter and he like last couple years but now with the topic is going to be even more -- so you see a couple pounds heavier than the role he might end up playing here. May be but I think it's still at some level all of -- the war in progress."
" He talked earlier of being professional and knowing your role. That's a perfect segue to. Glen big baby Davis. Who who is employers thing was not professional when he needed to be. What do you hear about the incident. And what you hear about the suspension going full."
" Well there what there was an issue like -- it had to be done before this seat and actually started and turn the statute and it still again -- progress is not a really good work. -- edit I can think the suspension. And beat disciplinary aspect. These sort of disappointment and anger but I know floating around here yesterday. It's all very justified. By. The suspension fine is really irrelevant the issue is that you. You know big -- did topics stupid T know he did something but and how the Celtics deal with the next six straight weeks that a player they were counting on. I think in the big picture you're from now we had this same conversation. What is this going to do to affect big baby -- injury not physically but is this going to beat this thing. That mature and puts him closer to what we were just talking about. -- Kendrick Perkins and the professionalism that is so pervasive. -- this locker room and clearly maybe not there yet. In this example although for random example of something that could happen anybody five seconds spam sort -- mind. Is not an isolated incident as far as the majority or lack thereof. And again we're talking about 2223. Year old but at some point at the crossover threshold. Adding -- all of that. We each get younger persona and stepped into being a professional NBA player and this is eight. Almost a cautionary tale -- to happen we deal except that. Mindset and that to me it would be the biggest big fish right now account the Celtics go next six straight weeks and -- wind map and play well these minutes. And bigger picture Jupiter is big baby going to be looking physically because he will but. Is this can be the Internet that moves -- Closer to what the rest of the locker room is that what."
" shot before you came on dale was quoting from a mark spears story on Yahoo!. Always talk about big baby big baby but there was a line in their from a source and anonymous source who told mark that that there are financial concerns. From the Celtics ownership that they have -- lost some money. Have you ever heard -- the first I've ever heard somebody connect financial problems slash concerns. With the Boston Celtics."
" I think the Celtics have been one of the few teams fortunate enough it's been a great time. A very lucky time. To be a leak in the eighteenth. Because there are very -- in every team has been touched -- financial court every team has of course they. The Celtics may be less than other teams at one level. Because of the interest it is still selling out -- places we go in the NBA you ground to watch comedians on TV and arson teams that are really struck. -- This is what you don't hear about what you hear is you know people call and talk show. And the they integrate the disruptive spending most money and they're going away over the luxury tax and in doing the things that it takes to win the championship on the other hand. Obviously that puts you potential disadvantage. To your spending public money is their right financial crisis -- on the Boston Celtics know I think it's really more to the point. Every. -- At least four different executives looking last year about this issue. And -- didn't say the following I would steam it worked for in which market they ran on it and trade deadline the question was about how much is the financial situation. And the potential labor situation 2011 and the world financial crisis affecting decisions insider -- and none of them did not say it affect everybody. All the car -- you have to be aware that cultures so it I just don't think you read about as much but every decision. You're dealing with money at this level have to be. In awe factor for the Celtics for the lakers even for the next for every team on port because the crime and I'll pick the topics of any kind of financial jeopardy -- You can throw that line your reference thing in the mark -- or he could throw that in any story about any and --"
" All the part that didn't make a lot of sense to -- from the the source talking to mark spears. If if the Celtics suspended big baby for all twenty games that he may miss here. I mean at 700 and some -- thousand dollars which is a lot of money to you and me but when you're running an NBA franchise I hate to say it but it's really chicken feet."
" At some level -- succeed on their level a settlement are minority dour looking as well and I can expect I have a different take on that only in that. When money gets spent like that. As we look at the at the salaries of the players and I they -- and revenue and think like that but 700000 dollars to a team. Who mile an individual icon and nobody else really at this kind of stopped or let's pick up the -- thousand dollars is. To be 1012. Salaries of people who work in your -- It's it's little things like that thought I think every decision. Matters I think it's more dates back to conversation to have about well big baby gonna have to give the money back because he did something stupid and maybe you know and maybe he does. But I I do think that there never should be appoint. Where the money's just rolled away. Issue facing any team right now."
" John and when you look at this Celtics roster top to bottom and it kind of is seem self evident to all of us. But I can't remember ever seeing Celtics team that's this deep Wiki and -- probably -- fit of -- yesterday said the big show on Davis is the ninth guy on the roster. But literally I mean that's how deep this team is here."
" It -- wind -- in a spot last night sort out of the blue and you looked very solid and in the first half anyway in that key segment of the game on the second unit was was in the Celtics back from. Fourteen point down. There's no question yet but he plays a role. And as you -- don't have it -- not gotten their equipment right. Cleveland team that people are talking about when -- championship and a good down there April ninth got. This is where the Celtics opposite number one game last -- like keeps saying -- over because this is the difference right now between Celtics. And Cleveland and may be a reason to look like about Orlando and the lakers could these routine to go eight or nine. But over 82 games when you're fighting for home court and that's going to be important again because the arms race here with Orlando and Cleveland. Have the best record in the Easter talking about ever -- get the 6465. And you want your. In ninety attempt guys because the Celtics are going to be and stretches and they are right now eighteen in twelve might. The start the year at some point matter where you stand right now. And shortly baby and the disease is the ninth got the come under the signal probably start some games that we economists see you'd probably like 3538 military game. And they'll be time to be called upon to -- For the Celtics all these parks are important. He's you know the Celtics need him back the reason that they throw them playoffs last year lack of basics in the roster was reconstruct street have. 45 legitimate big. --"
" Well eight games in twelve -- means that -- Going to be far too busy to properly manage grandy and max GTB so I'm expecting kind of a rough couple weeks in the the -- fantasy football night's game on Sunday about our --"
" Clearly I was struggling managing degrading your -- anyway even without being gay. Club. That's going to even though again it's you know Jimmy Stewart just continued to sit in his laboratory and tweak. The scoring systems so that nobody can figure it out."
" You know I don't know what happens -- you know what happens sometimes when guys when young guys don't get it they say. And here's a guy who blames other people for his problems doesn't accept responsibility himself. I think you fall into that category is not about other people John."
" Bail -- we do so on Sunday morning -- Syria or -- want or need Owen Daniels. I'm sure that you know Anquan Boldin will be fine and Antoine Bolden has one like."
" Critics and -- up like that have with -- after John we appreciate time have fun tonight. -- say all right John grandy voice of the Celtics you can hear him tonight. -- here on Sports Radio is he and Macs will have the call of game two of 82. But it is the home opener tonight at TD --"
