Danny Ainge

" Talking about school spring in the president of basketball operations. For the Boston Celtics Danny Ainge joins us hello -- orient. To what fun we're just thought about this overtime somebody brought it up and you know football has the sudden death we score on the the first W imagine that happen -- basketball we have a jump -- And and -- home early. And if you've been overly. But whoever scores first would win the game I mean. You change in the rules of the game in football I would think -- that's -- doesn't change the rules of the game. Refinement play five minutes. That's cited."

" Yeah like that's. Rules. In college in at school make sure energy but he could actions in the that change the rules also. It's eight to put it well. Rule."

" Because it's maddening it really is because it comes down to you know sometimes brutally beautiful time so why don't -- just take the lead from the other teams and obviously hockey doesn't differently. But why don't they take the lead. If the game was tied at the end of nine innings of baseball what are we to. We just play my children have -- but we play the same game. Threat in basketball you play the same game you play a five minute periods and guess what if it's tied after the first five minute period right push of one of its budget put third. I don't know why you don't have the -- football played the same game. I -- an ecology its its its its wacky you know where they have these games that you know war. In 21 to fourteen at what he -- when he wanted to get Patricia fair I think I was always like sixty. Five the fifty so that -- some people very happy though they've gotten over let's talk about about your team. Com how difficult do you think it was in that you break right out of the gate right out of camp. You've got four games in five nights you're doing an awful lot of traveling it's certainly seemed by the end. Of the of the weekend that yet some tired legs out there."

" It does seem like that out. And and not only that the -- training camp. It's mixes up. Yeah that's schedule and still haven't put everything in in and that's there was a lot of a lot of slipping. Execution. And obscure it could break for a."

" So what's more what was more beneficial in the last few days the rest with the fact the dot got an opportunity. Spent a lot of time up there in -- working on stuff."

" I think both I'm not sure there's one more I think it that we need to practice time and you little rat."

" It Danny's story that just came across a little while ago that the Ron Williams may not play tonight."

" surprise. And decide and disappointed right now hub Toronto would be."

" As he hit you in the there there and we're gonna play and play very well he took. He's an actual player."

" There are set you up right now that's what they're doing. -- says he's got a string back yeah -- stay right right champion -- that yesterday but. And the data is right in this -- so often what happens is guys get it then suddenly. Here an hour before game and he'll say -- feel better they bring that you doctorate in something known. Daily gazette obviously Rondo. He gets up to play. These guys doesn't mean he knows who he's going against that this is my question."

" He. This year a better job be. In play better and what I was frustrated sort matchup thing happened and -- all. Of Rondo needs lot of well. -- because it gained so much will be. Epic law. -- A player like in particular it's all. -- If -- go -- there to help it's the big guys to chop it shall be a marine in politics we have lots. So our defense against -- Williams is going to be. It's going to be eighteen be to that we brought Berkshire yet despite two's screen at work Arctic it Arctic typical. Ultimately all beef we eat and you cause. Rescission. It's a major topics. Are always out injuries owns twenty years coaching."

" You talk about the pick and roll on the necessity of being able to defend it as a point guard figured out -- have communication. Nobody really has run a better than the Utah Jazz do they still run it as well with -- Koren. And Caroline go along with Deron Williams is they just plugged into the you'll Stockton Malone rolls."

" Well you know. Stockton and Malone special. Yours yours spot great. -- in spot in. Argue the pop art history or gain. -- Aaron Williams does and what are. So I don't think. It's just beat you bought. Tickets and everywhere around the coincidences. -- technical well because. Stop. When he yours at point guard there. I think those guys because it seems like -- loser. -- Accurately though. Her or like there's a lot of guys that can be patient and there's. Really what -- the airports such."

" When you won't see a story where. A player in this case Dwight Howard gets. Analyzed find. For criticizing. The -- is you get a little bit concerned. That that's something that guys are looking for right now that the league is probably -- emphasized that if they do with one team specially. One of the powers in the east if a player or one of those other top teams in the east does that we've got to come out with a similar finding. You think about that do you. Have put put more of an emphasis on it with your players went went something like that happens what are you look at that is just you know an isolated case."

" You know what it's a good reminder helping it's like -- case at all I think the India it's been very consistent players are. Officials coaches talk about -- officials. It's fine. And it's that simple and you know if players are paying attention we certainly read them and -- from the -- we get one individual warnings. And so players crossed the line in what they should it should be able to say. And you know like Alice exploration -- you'd say it's in the media to regain but he ought. And we give our players a lot of instructions that meeting blocking FaceBook. All all the way to wait that is just like saying that the that is -- and that then Indies and treated the same."

" It's it was worse because stop it's it's almost worse because he has. You've already been identified. As being that individual once you get it out do you can't blame the media for taking you lot of -- you know I think -- anything Barclays the only one I ever remember who claims it -- bookie was taken out of countless old black and you're so right about this because there's this story that. Was done just last week that lawsuits are up 70%. In the social networking field beacon in the big ones in Chicago now -- Anderson mountain and -- in a building -- about some mold in the building. And the company is -- it's a fifteen million dollar lawsuit that there. Reputation as a rap you know damaged beyond repair. And -- published when they tweak when they send it it's it's publish its not a tax. It's something that's out -- publisher of falls under all the laws of libel slander although stranger you shall write about that."

" People from being not --"

" that would do. I ask you. When you when you bring new ball players. On the team together you obviously can feel the mountain camp and you've got some new guys in there. Despite questions you go to tuchman last Q anyways insurer reform one -- right now. What do you think dark ads. As you go along here in the first month the two week you discover a specific player. Is certain skills you -- you know we can run this play because this is this guy can really do we can do this off of what this guy. Does because of the skill that he brings to the table how much is it -- work in progress we adding stuff in. Because new players that you brought to you team you suddenly discovered they can do something right now the playoffs the guys that are already there."

" You know I think that that is true. -- discovered things go wrong spot. Apple's part because the guys have played a lot in Ian yeah I think that's war. Rare to find more I think we have pretty -- Ortiz and Rasheed I think that doctors learning about -- and obviously a great deal about. -- And so it -- the younger -- haven't had an opportunity to do he shall we can view that. Mark decent machine I think we have a pretty good -- for -- they aren't what they can view this would be like."

" These situation was -- brainy is this an ongoing. Issue right now."

" You know it it's. It is -- on -- frustrated you know it's had a great thing came -- really great. And you know after what happened from last year -- it's very frustrated. And certainly. You know keep remote. Rate applied. I know it's frustrating. While back expecting a quick. Long term issue I think that he should be pretty go in and we."

" about the story with our Glen Davis the other day that. -- seemed to make the rounds everywhere about him. Leaving after he suddenly accomplish what he wanted to accomplish in the NBA go to the NFL I vacant. And you've already have a conversation I'm sure that I take it this conversation. Happened well before the latest incident correct."

" You know I'm thinking did I talk about that she could even though it portrayal. Prepared. But he came in and night that the that this sort -- point. Maybe to address this issue rolled. As we all -- our lives. -- It story aids in an equally as an entertainer as you know -- Big baby is ago. --"

" sure he's well we're glad --"

" It is on. While attention. And so I think it first -- he always knows. As much as. And you know it's. It's not even a story."

" I but I think he hit it it sounds to me in in -- right everything you say you don't Farber and I do but it sounds to me like. He was goofing around a little bit but the writer he engaged in -- back and forth but I also got the feeling. And that's why I was a little concerned when it got out there that it was probably something that happened after the infamous punch because my guess would be. After you have that issue come up. There's no way you're fooling around with a writer after that talking about leaving the NBA and a couple of years Indiana -- that would not be real bright."

" Now and I don't think he would talk with. It is in a hot Little League all you know there's there's always talk to people. But. I mean it's just -- species that can go to you know well. You kidney."

" You what you want to baseball and I happen for the good let's give what you sports. Skilled our. Goal. Why how are you an athletic players -- could Rondell toy safety. Group record your."

" I you know army by what is our end. Of and any came away with a -- well."

" All the car was born got caught me off enough so that I'll try to -- somebody that's our. That your nephew American let him get me in ways -- in the NFL but to collect. It wasn't too long ago where you guys can barely do one name on the All-Star ballot not yet six with a chance of all sixtieth minute. Now -- and so great -- Melamine and its its its licensees that. -- That's the only way. -- All-Star is an important now -- withdrawal so or."

" Bulls aren't important championship Danny Rasheed Wallace over the course of his career has has really. You know -- shoots 3435%. From three -- That's when it's therefore if you could shoot that number you make in more than you would if you were inside the arc. Do you have at all any concerns about the timing of the reason he's taking. Where is that some in the dock will work on because he Selig pulled the trigger on on a couple in the fourth quarter current stretch runs a Lego man tight shots."

" You know what it. Receded -- like Eddie LR and open and shut. Up that. Our operators use that he we work to do like. In action 30% three point line. Much better it's 2%. From the two point and and so I think that we. We understand. He ought. -- actually make rate as can be summed it up make a think to -- to manage and out on the court we need reports shooting looters these war. A lot and because machines. A lot carrier that has percentage. Seeing really the sentence but the sport -- up -- Are other good -- and so. I think it that some in the optical. Wait I did note that dot urges him to use shot."

" And we bring this up again you have two or three times four times a year but we're early on Ramos played great the would you like to see him take the ball more to the whole. At times."

" Well it's not like he's not trying to think the all hole but it's Rondo has tried it or why the senses lot of it is back -- And -- and make it difficult try to get him to shoot so while were trying. To get the ball on village and it into the being that's exactly what they're trying to prevent it from. Pretty good indication that he's doing a good percentage and so it's not so much how much it's. What this. We want impetus remain at an efficient score. And keep to be -- honest."

" You happen to see the end of Denver and Chicago last night. It. Well very interesting because the NBA incorporated what was that like three years ago lead the red lights now on the back board. To designate that it's the end of the into the quarter that was designed so you can look at the video when you -- determine whether the ball. At left and the the shooters fingertips. So last night's game and in happens in Chicago so they celebrate as Brad Miller takes this a shot with three tenths of seconds left thinking goes in. Then I thought clearly and I like to your two cents I thought clearly when you look at the replay and you look at the red. Lights up here -- he had not left his fingertips. It's coming under tremendous criticism. And controversy in Chicago as you can well imagine. I thought they made the right call. It were bursting at all originally basket and they reversed."

" Raddatz but it. They did the right thing -- one obviously you're at Chicago right there it's that close. Took a long time they deliberated for ten or fifteen minutes seem to get them right all. The public polls."

" And it's funny though that you incorporate this new technology. And people shall comply. You know the technology was brought -- To be able to determine and I thought into a did you like this new technology that they throw in there I guess you'd rather have -- come up the right decision and loaded them boot it all the wrong decision at the end of the game. Should there be more technology."

" Well these new technology is it's had this in the past what capital with a few years ago be the officials got together and say okay. This is it is the only thing you can do inside three -- And then there was a plane repaired Davis made it three point shot to -- officials said no because rather than relying on stop start and a score. They pretty much set up you can not catch and shoot the ball -- for the second. You got -- to efforts does -- forward so. They don't side -- Davis did. And actually need it three point shot with three cents for the second official. Disallowed because it's physically do it super -- shorted and slow motion and he did do super human -- Yes super humans so now they had they had in corporate instant replay and taking its case by case in just read you it. Review what I started the clock. Almost like -- what the red light on it and now. But that was very helpful -- red -- long -- now they've been lights on the at the end of 24 -- actions as well."

" Now which I think is a good thing I think this technology is a good thing and as you know. In years gone by there have been a very charitable clock operators and certain buildings over the years. And let's face teams have got screwed before. You know plank of a road that doesn't. I think that this takes a lot of that away but it still furious in Chicago and that got Foxborough last week on the clock. Now well let and that's a thing lit candles that -- but it individual buildings even though. There are supposedly legal officials Danny can explain it better and I can. There are all guys that you inspected the work that that -- for right all the if it's."

" There are yeah. In the playoffs. In regular seat are yet again he's -- too early to tell -- is one of the surprise teams in basketball."

" Yeah I think it's it's real well. There's something different things schedules in difficult is scheduled it yet but. At least see me. Real surprised about -- six and one. Miami I guess some six -- mean that surprised probably but I think that they were 52 or three would say that. It -- there are very good about. Jermaine O'Neal playing really well. And of course we weighed in VP candidate he's there with needs to be discussed in the same breath as -- And that would help the very very special players so not a surprise."

" He surprised Cleveland is four and three including what two home losses of those two games and -- yeah yeah yeah."

" You know that they -- they continue on this state again you know everybody gets a little bit of bumps in the road along the way that you can't navigate that way. But it wouldn't surprise me see Cleveland daughter you know ten game winning streak either they're they're very talented. And they just haven't yet stride yet."

" Art video is -- targeted we'll talk again next week have a good one tonight. Thank you -- age of the Celtics right here in the Mitchell."
