Doc Rivers

" Fourth and final hour Dennis and Callahan 14 and final conversation -- Doc Rivers now that the NBA's regular season is over Doc Rivers has brought to you by -- market attention cyclist. Check -- market's great selection of new bikes arriving daily -- market bikes in 1971 and by Garrity Stalin. And granite -- Woburn Rockland and Salem New Hampshire whether it's residential or commercial when if things don't think Garrity Garrity stone. Dot com the morning docket to wake up with a eight. Kind of a sigh of relief now that it's all over."

" Yeah -- candidate. I would think yes the big one and that."

" A big what the net yeah. Can you turn your attention. To the lottery now does get on your knees and pray for a record one of the top two picks are as --"

" I've -- I didn't think about it is no well that's natural bit I think but probably every day and Justin -- no water to one would be great to -- really not a which you know guys percentages that are you know 41 is that Corey we know fit to fit -- Then after that it it's pretty -- so I'm we just have to wait billion that no decision was so law the Soviet that it could happen mostly -- injury and just hope something good happens from obviously something did it did happen and doing a year with some of the players. But not been good but unfortunately there would be really a nice boost for us."

" I want to get to the season a little bit but as long as we're on the subject or a one and two if you don't get one or two heaven forbid and that -- trade is suddenly a little more viable for the Boston Celtics you know you know the name you're going to -- with every single phone call at a Denny's solves that would be al Jefferson. His -- first and foremost trading him would be what over -- dead body --"

" You know political blow out pretty close Seattle. I don't see that happen I really don't know it obviously you know in -- anything can happen but I don't are really really -- you don't have."

" What would he be the only way we estimate about post season grades. Who would get a."

" Ball before injury you know. You know there's a lot of cases you -- you know make for very it and then the other one I would throughout would be totally irrelevant for it and you know you didn't start out well. But he quote great before his -- And it was coming on strong and determined that. Their other alternative option that to create his own shot create shots brothers and even become a shut down defense."

" What what -- what grade would you give Gerald green."

" Story can -- it. You know he he just says he's he did some really good things for a and then. He struggled in a lot of ways is world than most -- because of that but allowed only -- a bit as well. I think people saw the shot and then the question -- and and know the great majority have a lot of work certainly you know next year -- have a lot of work to get on the floor when you when you think they're Wally Szczerbiak Tony Allen a lot to your question Jacques -- the revolved."

" Haven't are -- are eight we only went 24 games you -- the second worst record in the NBA this'll -- silly question what needs to get better against the obvious answer is. Everything does below the top of your wish list what's the what's one and one laid -- that the -- get better for this basketball team."

" Are you saying it won't help would be number well that's true -- coming -- I look at our commissioner does have an -- that I truly believe what felt right at 500. Number or that area involved in the playoffs. -- good enough illusion regular government so what going to pick after the merit club while we're going to let that talent about a lot of talent but we definitely need talent and and we probably have to that a veteran as well -- we have to improve defensively I thought we did make strides this year from your previous but want injuries he played that many young guys you know helped integrate it just didn't know but you look at our numbers -- there. Dramatically better than your before and no would be the two areas that they felt good and did --"

" went bad defense is being played in the NBA dot is that a physical -- bowl but is more a physical Horry mental problem that that creates bad --"

" Are always thought mental more than that whom I think the -- prisoner and -- pretty good it's been told up this. There's you don't recall that the want to every night about it is you do the commit to with the dolphins have been -- individual pavilion in his -- though a lot of sense of urgency I thought our guys in stretch especially of late. Will do it there hadn't and I mean by the young guys -- you focus on most of the sudden you know to be hit a great loyalty. You have to have every possession because of urgency the chip to do that through the regular season that we do want to San Antonio Spurs play these trips you see that every single time. And that's tough to -- devastated you know -- We got a game in the other night in Miami help just one tired. Didn't give up the Doleac and deliberate shot and I called a timeout. There and I. I have to well you can get out there and and that's where young guys sometimes just don't do it that. Where -- veterans of the spared the value of the all these positions."

" prior to last night's game your captain stood up and blow the the crowds that we vol. The at this time next year it won't Vieira last game obviously suggesting you're going to the playoffs are you joining in and out of followers like to make a pat Riley guarantee"

" will -- curative you know obviously about a Petra Jordan if you put the New York remember all the do -- but I do believe we will be I have no doubt if we're healthy. Will be in the playoffs I have no doubt about that I truly believe that. You know wanted to -- to talk to our players about that told the media after the day what about that very thing about the play -- else just the fact that we have to graduate from individual world to syndrome and that's going to be our next."

" Do you expect to have a contract extension in hand sometime soon."

" Don't though don't they have been productive -- not anything on my mind to be honest and it. -- what do what don't or won't do billboards or anything like that you know the first thing -- have to make a decision on obviously imagine you distribute firmly the physical and in the thick of things will be the --"

" You spend your summers in Orlando in your winters in Boston get a backwards -- like it."

" I do have a back -- step up there at."

" A duck kind so obviously used when he when he out what is if you start the evaluation process not of your players not at your organization not even tiger coaching staff but a view what would you change looking back on the season that you did or didn't do."

" Well the only good that would change as far as personnel. You know totally Allen struggled early in Europe that you guys that everyone may not talked about in to the point where boredom to darkness coming in the bank and I wish secular summerall it got him going in in the lineup earlier because. Before the year before even traded -- started furcal to sit down and everybody there are no what we thought would be our star Loretta that he would then it. And -- It was circular so in other way to force him into that lineup and even though it's struggled so -- to come off the bench and that would have made -- a better than just have to -- start -- you know. Bit as a coach I was second to go -- in an 18 game losing streak in the dark understood every night we're we're on the parliament put all the injuries we've got to save target all Tony and Wally being out through most of that stretch. It was stuff to win -- but I just wish I could've figured out a way to win one of you know what's funny in Indiana the principal economic when he got. But no one made a big deal Lubbock because it was split you know they want lost -- have been one more. When you -- Guerrero the focus this -- plate and you would your team about losing bit better --"

" A we know you're not allowed to talk about underclassmen but Kevin Durant as declared. If you -- second which everyone's open you pick you know one or two. He'll likely be awareness Celtic uniform next year can you talk about the randomly checked the rule book on this"

" should the rule book tonight check yet Adam. But what I -- alcohol."

" Yeah if if if a certain people. The ego AA dog Joey Crawford versus Tim Duncan who was at fault here."

" story well yeah there's no doubt the center actually we've done it about 3 O'Clock from Miami's video meant they were -- it gave them an -- sit and -- did not until about five but fortunately -- clear you know reps are are taught to. Walk away. Two giveaways -- comfort him. And in that situation George did not do that -- disagreement it -- George was not. The good restaurant hurt bad of late drove him back for the rest and oh Seattle where. It is absolutely had a terrible and you have to walk around there that -- when you wouldn't say -- that you from the veterans."

" You just that one was and had a flares he's done got him."

" I think so I -- there and I don't have anymore information and you guys I've just seen some interviews -- Our commissioner stern had -- than some other people and it did didn't it summit final committee."

" And it seems if only from a perception standpoint he couldn't do a San Antonio game going forward."

" You know it it probably -- next year I mean I've gotten into it with a couple routes and then we've had to sit down and talk about it didn't. Really you get over pretty quickly but in this situation about the spurs an arm in the playoffs and I thought toward Crawford at the united ever. And so I really do think if it's been enjoyed for this year in the playoffs what the right into their."

" Doc enjoy the talks this year have a good off season good swing thoughts on the first tee and now we'll talk it down the road when you can't talk about the as underclassmen were going to declare. All right -- but it it -- thanks doc Doc Rivers with Dennis and Callahan"
