Rajon Rondo is with -- Rajon it's -- Michael how -- Good thing."

" You don't really pick and rolls out I noticed with -- point guards and early in the season against the Celtics seemed to be a really tough. Area for for all the point -- why is it. Why is that such a tough thing in the NBA just fighting through the pick and rolls"

" because they're -- play you know every night you know bring -- opposition. And I -- cup -- I was period of those you know you have gotten burned out than it is. And round you know go the opposite guy can shoot the ball and even just -- without but you know we have to do the job done."

" When you that when you hear the general manager of the team Danny Ainge talking about. You know maybe the only thing left on his shopping list for the offseason would be a backup point guard a veteran backup point guard the used to parenting -- I'm okay. Leave those minutes the -- needing help --"

" Not that now when Matt -- you know again come in and help me out 'cause like sitcoms that you're playing and -- a lot to learn as well. Another point guard that had a lot of years ago when did bad idea."

" You said you're going to be a pass first point guard regardless of who's on the team. I know playing with the guys will make you more comfortable and knowing where they want the ball. How about hanging out with -- is that necessary or can you do your job without getting to know these guys as people."

" Well our schedule another matter wrapping up the because rated him but he found out today on the road -- on the plane trips so you know what -- an -- know Ali's definitely you know playing cards or do anything it will -- about court together -- you know you know on court as well."
