[0:02]" Howard doesn't help and our conversation with -- the good doctor. Sponsored by Garrity still. Manager between the deepest lineup for -- limestone in no way that was seven. Thousand samples that's right 7000 -- in the -- Garrity. And by your local MVP Volkswagen dealers where you can now get the 8 Jeddah with German engineering power windows eight speakers CB -- more produce 179 a month check out MVP VW dot com for the 7 -- locations good morning doc how Loria. Kuerten harder and lower your blood paperwork you don't feel good stuff from last night in your great great start as this Mitchell report is about to -- baseball's. Owners and management and players in union members it makes me wonder -- when it comes to steroids NH GH. Does some of this none of this exist in the NBA as far as you can tell."

[0:53]" I would say -- I -- I guess I would be naive that berth this government is surely you could really have been I can't even. Named guys -- government and there's nobody ever been rumored to have started so. You know for whatever reason it never been about coltart that's -- good thing in the and so it's not the only thing we have to worry about."

[1:14]" it is a good thing -- it makes you wonder if it's good enough for these Major League Baseball players too risky at ball to get better to enhance their performance. Why wouldn't NBA players look at that say I can get better I -- I mean there's money at stake here you know."

[1:28]" You have really have good you know they've been tested for quite awhile are -- so that's a good thing in there riveted. They've been tested mainly because too perverted you know wanted became popular as far as knowledge you know through based partly -- NBA reacted in the right way -- we haven't had that problem and lets hope we never do."

[1:49]" It is is substance abuse a problem in the NBA because god knows it used to be you've been around for a couple of generations now -- you think it's improved do you think it's no."

[2:00]" Oh yeah it's -- light years -- you let my first couple years guys who adored Willie it really rather have a lot of guys -- DR -- probably Lew Ford out of our team went out with the hawks that has doesn't abuse problems and you know. Education and then you know they've been focused sort of -- clearly got bit cleaner image of the beltway as well and obviously all the better for early."

[2:26]" Big double we talked to the morning after a game I always ask you a couple questions what did you like better this or that -- a pair of those for you this morning what are -- what made you happier last night -- your team. Turned it over just eight times or your team turned the kings over 22 times and scored 25 points off those turnovers."

[2:44]" Well like you know we've forced -- we're. We've done a solid because of Damon now we're starting to be your pressure because it seemed as well problem that's good I thought -- that the beginning of the fourth or quarter. I think -- that go bad memories from last night after the game watch -- but we had a 242 violations a blocked shot of forced turnover though the 242 violation another forced turnover in a -- both for the type or on the change staying in. No we talked about that could have done guys would you do -- great shots not a homer Gordon that you can never let their Rutgers because the -- I thought that happened last night. Which is not there have been been so we talked about it didn't know we've made a run less but it would hurt because we did have an alternative -- we scored. But we scored off to be cooked stuff that we got that's what made you happy about last."

[3:40]" They'll my guess is I I would think you were apprehensive at the least bit apprehensive starting big baby at center where did you relax when he did."

[3:49]" Chipped -- in Africa though. First seven of going too fast you know you can literally revoked a little -- if you look at it due to five year old so voters more because. After about six minutes we've got to pass well then he would be -- really -- player that it had nothing to do his conditioning and just let the big city excited and you know that happened Ginobili particularly in the go through. But the second have -- slowed the game down and again does floor Belfour but you know we've made our defense better than everything else but all of a sudden we can run our offense because he would forward down and that was good as well."

[4:25]" Do you think it's it it's helped that he was a second round pick that he would that not much was expected of him because. -- he has the skills he was a superstar in college. He comes and live the the NBA and you not expecting a thing and if they win every does seems like a nice little surprise."

[4:42]" Well I figured -- BL you know I don't think it's. Felt in the the California -- play itself does you know when you when you respect him well predicted you clearly. Should be a guy that have gone through the first round. No in my opinion should and you were one of those start of college you know that's things couldn't. So would drive here you know whether it'd make you want to be a better player and understood that he of that reached the level bitty thought you -- so they just felt terrible you know -- That -- we sign your weekly journal roster we could get some torture the help of we did go to be this little."

[5:22]" Did you think that go on in the season that in order to win games. You need 75 points -- you victory every turn every night and did did you think you could win games without. Big in hopes superstar contributions from your three guys from the three stars."

[5:38]" Yeah I did I thought you know when you look at it logically you all three every night all three are going to have great day going into the food but I thought it if two of the three -- each given night. Have a good day do we have a chance to win if we could -- that's what I thought going into the we've."

[5:58]" A -- back to big baby -- good for just a second and I'm wondering to what extent. Is his development attributed to the environment in which -- is cutting his NB AT I guess what I'm asking is would big baby and advanced to this point a year ago surrounded by a bunch of young players as opposed to the environment this year where he has a lot of great players Hall of Fame players that is looking up to and watching them play the game the right way."

[6:21]" Our tickets BG I think is the complete difference you know the want indeed very you have to do state focusing grounded feet he -- to. You know enjoy it too much in indicative I felt deprived him relax and but Hollywood vision didn't -- he played with so well so far as he's done that in one day ago where I thought that he had been played really well we -- the game relax but he played awful if you put him with young guys were playing minutes every night. Tough to -- First Marshall in the right way with the veterans to -- look at -- Kevin Garnett Paul Pierce -- reality work every day of practice never come out run on a treadmill that regard we go global partners drives so I think -- this environment. They have been extremely healthy for a probably healthier than anybody else on our kids."

[7:13]" Speaking of give and -- my guess is when you show your guys the breakdowns of the tape. That's stretch of defense in the second half that was highlighted by Kevin Garnett harassing and an end and trapping cause might be something you show your guys that was."

[7:25]" I don't think the government social wanted to open doesn't just get lucky and you know beginning -- the fourth quarter of a team sort of a play were also have to be. The conduit of the play enforcement for all your children guarded guarded them but it it is judge Kevin -- guard and then you know -- single -- out of footer for violation by himself. You know I've been that would prevent it."

[7:49]" If you were Eric Mangini and the whole world just thought you really get just destroyed -- Sunday your 24 point underdog. But do what would you do going into that game how would you get to team up how would you get them to play."

[8:04]" What's -- good news is what I hard compared to right."

[8:07]" You're exactly -- if it how do you avoid it -- she didn't let -- see the hopelessness in your --"

[8:16]" Where you play over the players -- and -- out of if you know really it's been such a tough situation and William and -- of course very much because he guided our attitude really -- threatened situation for me to watch in. That this would happen because. You know all wanted you have that that. Killer -- that you -- the patriot to win by 8000 and then I gotta tell you you do they're good on the other end you just did you rest a few other Holden plays well so oh beautiful under the watch I can do you haven't graduated yet that you only thing you you must. Plays or your players fried -- get yourself out of the game meaning this is not about leaders but Q there's say they're going to blow out new that they they got there it felt you can do. Unfortunately another luck permitted go to certain third --"

[9:07]" There duck does does the board material play any kind of rolling in in any of your preparation it is at any juncture stock."

[9:14]" They've got good guys you know big most of the value of it is different in -- back unit in the stone age will be deployed. You can actually you know bulletin board mature because he didn't feel or read it or feel about it and is scared and talk radio and then what the up. Reporters you know available pool of reporters well for every day. You too early to tell little luck broke them put them on the board that no one actually have written make enough that the the that you could pick it up I think sometimes Riley propel a bit but -- do that it it more than -- they'd they'd probably -- further maybe. Before you have heard it. And so you pick and choose what you want to actually use."

[9:55]" But but why does work with professionals at this level of -- talking about this on Monday after the patriots went out just whipped on Anthony Smith. We don't to a man they don't really care about Anthony Smith and probably didn't believe anything had to say but they used it and and and motivated themselves it almost sounds like you like a high school tactic but somehow it works at this level."

[10:15]" Court always word you know yeah I don't think privately Harvard doesn't prove himself. They're whenever someone questions their ability I mean rule that -- part of who they are you. And it drives of you know they were going to show you anyway but now they're going to really show."

[10:34]" CC iron Arab credit from my very if I perhaps prepare my my guess is the -- that secretly lit the fire and the patriots was not so much the guaranteed but the fact is that we've seen better wide receiver corps we it was Cincinnati -- the other team's minicamp there."

[10:47]" Exactly the difference repeated just stuff that the guarantees yeah they still would have had to be bell could it would have been that but the there -- at wide receiver thing you know always burned the receivers but the pitchers have a great pride did you concede that burned their treatment they wanted to prove. They'll probably -- receivers work as a starter truly believe that in the second quarter they were running plays to set up the gut. -- do you where they're competent but we're gonna win again but just -- of that chill weather competent bat."

[11:19]" What's the best of pep talk you remember as a player and did you steal it and use that as a coach."

[11:26]" I ever visit yet -- you -- some very but pat Riley I don't know if you remember that they gave that was thought it was known as a pretty. Physical teams who believe it just didn't go we'd go to food grew up about a -- quoted thirty home but. Before a game that was Portland through these people up again before. We played -- Which I thought was impossible for it to -- do so instead of talking. He put on video car crashes. Williams running and each other the long Rashard filled with a guy pulled -- yeah just. One after another and then he turned it also walked out of -- out of the luck will remember walking that would jump start slapping oh. Detroit lose to the little -- no lead. They're abrasive think of the trail Clinton's heard a lot of the -- it is very I don't know."

[12:22]" So you might pull that one out one of these days if your team is playing soft."

[12:26]" There -- Hey -- we all know that up Paul Pierce shoot scores drives get so line. But now witnessing him completely round out his game with passing and defense which of those two aspects in your estimation has improved the most the passing of the defense."

[12:41]" I think cute because of our focus has -- always spoke all of that you referred passer have a you know you probably remember our first conversations when I first got here without -- the -- you know -- was a pretty bad -- present -- right and I told a bit bit bit that wouldn't -- and -- the better. Player to the 40% shooter and it you know to do bad dude gonna have to move the ball more and he did that then so he's already proven to be there with the press where you. Being -- the focus not just playing defense but -- Biggio in the locker room before the game last but I guess to a three different questions or or how we're -- because you know he was worried that. Everyone working on the same page and noble to think he didn't do the -- and I think it's really nice we have locker."

[13:32]" Hey at twenty games in doc Rajon Rondo he's shooting 53% from the field. Which is better than any shooting from the line but -- will will that last Willie can he keep that up is that something you expected from him."

[13:46]" Yeah I figured the last guys they lifted their leave them open. You know over there he's he's going to get open shots every night and achieve you know last let us go with the person but I -- mister Koppel and went back to last year worried the you know big -- or both state covered where I thought you know. When he wrote what you've been doing very well this year by the new open spots where they're dropping off it clearly they're game -- last night was. We're going to do leverage on -- building up off the ball right there and last but I would the first night this year thought that he didn't respond to a very well but for the most part I think he will go probably pick up every year -- the world. But I do vigil continued wish you well."

[14:30]" And -- from the blindly Q can keep up that 40% clip."

[14:34]" Though you do you can't build its you know god look at if I had my druthers I'd rather -- have been made -- throws do the shots in almost because. I can't engaging major point guard it fair if your point guard can't shoot free throw than they have someone that they could play golf club and file. There have been that's scary so that's that support of emphasis for us right now it is workable for drove."

[14:57]" It doctors are Ray Allen spoke about his inconsistent shooting touch or does -- have theories about what the situation is or is he just go out there and take -- 150 every night before the game and figure some point he's going to be Ray Allen all over again."

[15:09]" That's -- right here you know I didn't do a better job doesn't give them more involved in. Give him a rhythm in our what sort of a lot of turnovers -- addition no. Then what I've -- it is shut the government to and far between. You know that we got to give him a rhythm you the one guy that good his earlier. Didn't do trying to get more involved through the floor office. And so I think that's part of it as well -- gravity going to do the -- video evidence Seattle that's like going to happen the second half when they knew the three but you do the your rhythm you need to touch the lever that what it is very young and so what do a better job of give him more involved that."

[15:51]" Have you looked to the bucks filmed this year yet. Are very do you look at the Bucs still coming in Friday night yet terror and what what what is what's -- what we have and before you know four well there's --"

[16:01]" President gobble him up wouldn't -- their last three days and he's probably played through the best stage he's really shooting the ball well you know he's become the figure rebounder yeah well benedictine Bolton dribble better than I thought he could you -- a bigger player guys do you really -- then you start to feel it right now."

[16:20]" Is that -- got. Yeah report we're -- a court they're pretty want to be away from Rivera. All right doc guess I -- title talk -- next -- good luck Friday night against the Bucs are right Doc Rivers is sponsored by Gary -- Woburn -- seven New Hampshire featuring the deepest lineup of granite limestone in New England with 7000 samples think stone.
