[0:00]" The president and director of basketball operations the Celtics Didier joins as spurs were and they steady -- several what topped Aaron. And and Danny and in the C Vernon -- he's brought to you by US side surf the official insurance broker of the Boston Celtics and by local area Lexus dealer. The sooners' drive a Lexus the sooner you discover why nothing else feels quite like Alexis. And Edison equate for the highest quality architectural buildings and lumber visit Edison equate into Cambridge robbed Andy. Biggest game about the happen about two hours tonight down at your place."

[0:32]" I think upon games I don't the players these were the most exciting games to play -- playing their best competition the regular season called -- single playoff game at and that is this these."

[0:43]" Let me ask you first is PJ brown to be available tonight."

[0:47]" I think so. Not certain yet -- decision come game time much I'm not sure he's going to deal."

[0:54]" He's excited see him played any assumption --"

[0:58]" I'm not going to rush. You know I I think they've PGA's turning himself ready and a cop that that he will but I don't know that I'm not sure timetable is about eight assists makes it to see -- imply it could well get back on track."

[1:12]" Simply felt I would send that I had a personal matter to attend do a funeral and what is his status for Friday against the Chicago Bulls I know he's both yes shoot around but -- be able play on Friday."

[1:22]" Yeah I'm not sure that either. You know again I'm not I'm not that went -- in the major -- with Sam you don't -- we're healthy so we're not in the it would have been made me. I'm just trying to. Garrett in Brighton -- Covers Nicole were that we may have come playoff time that it is far in the regular season now what we're not going to rush the amp will be. In count on Friday to attending the funeral of this great grandmother. Eric will be back Friday -- that morning."

[1:53]" Well one thing that sent -- so obviously brings as the experts real though what what I think is going to be. Some might be overlooked is that people talk about chemistry with different sports bringing a guy like this but with him. He knows the players that the stupidest the superstar players it is going to be in going to be involved with -- haven't played -- all of them one point that's going to be. Takes a tremendous amount of pressure off from my with the."

[2:16]" The other big the big difference when he it would -- relationship what the -- for the guys put all the -- played on teams was rated PG and and it you know -- that. He's 38 you know it's not like he's 26 or 27 year old -- in any threat that with the younger guys that think that everybody Dole's what is old B and understand that in the end I think everybody's unanimous that it is this can only be good."

[2:43]" Data bringing in -- can sell bringing in brown tell me how alternately you see this making your team better as you go forward for playoff for a."

[2:53]" Well you know besides that first ball with Scot Pollard he. Added injured ankle from the beginning of the he's sitting in it and he's got everything he can't -- would be -- it's just not getting. Better and you know it's hard to just count on it being better come playoff time -- at that. It is painful he's and so you know PJ gives us another big guys it's got that Paul is not able to be sent by playoff time the ball he it just has great field experience and our young guys that played very well be -- all the big baby it's fantastic force this year Kirk is as good at playing well the blade also. Can't -- She -- bring in some experience to give them things to work on took things to think about during the course of the game. He's played against all the people that will -- playoff series. And he could also go out there playing with some consistency built in the system and so we've got to -- and rely on them and in times where he needs. Brain a little bit more than the Jews."

[3:52]" They talked about. To sell and everyone knowing his role that when you have a young player like Rajon Rondo playing so well life is our conversation at some point to sort of telling him what it sells rolls going to be -- and how Rondell role remains what it is."

[4:06]" Of course yeah I mean every talked to the shot. And -- the situation and you know you know that that the thought process of course the whole year I think it's just really good for our team that we be able to hold off on bringing a veteran point guard until this stage of the season. And upbringing when it's September October and settling for much -- regards to have themselves used at a point in a veteran point guard so. This would be a big boost and I think the cameras -- helped -- onto campus is that really crafty. Clever guy and that he's he's got all the tricks in the back in I think that we John can only benefit from learning from spam long term and short term."

[4:46]" I know he's young -- birthday resigned and is the real deal I think you know the potential that this guy has we've raises table already it just makes it exciting around here but is -- and you know him to gain. I mean he's going to command saying it all on the back up play I don't mind being the backup player but deep down inside he still thinks you know like. He's a darn good player and probably deserves to be a starter. Yes no."

[5:12]" he's the starter Sam knows he's a good player that's what I love about he that itself. The conceded is that you it's hard to find. He -- really believe it's in his skills. And now. And you seed -- the players feel that Sam let it that's one reason why you rate he Gian Paul who have played with and against them so long you know. Feel good about you know as a person a player because they if he -- it it it's contagious when you have that. That's self confidence the M. And I think it's going to be but that's at the same time he's 38 in him he knows he can't go run around the chase guys around for. What they'll be a spot player you -- played well result play. The minutes he's been playing all year we're going to struggle a little bit -- the teams are. Second off the -- on important it is yeah outside shots since it you know regular season basketball playoff basketball is different you hear that all the time there really. And down. Even -- really good -- point guard that are really good right now when they were you know on they were exposed to playoff series is Tony parker right now -- so. We just have another option in that it's important that out those options scored in the playoff series to cup earlier basis."

[6:27]" They want to continue on the Rajon Rondo have been here is that the key matchup for the game tonight Billups and Ron though it seems to be that's been the main focus the previous two times they've played and it's been very interesting one."

[6:38]" He had no I don't think so at all -- I don't believe in like individual matchup BT. Everybody knows that Chauncey Billups is a great one on one player and -- see. There's a lot of talk about the size difference in China took power in Britain resolve which he which he can't do but I see him do the same -- all guards in the league even bigger guards that you know. So a -- is terrific player of the exported one player to give them the attention it's not Rajon Rondo versus Chauncey Billups. And I don't think that that matchup this. Key matchup but much further -- key matchup but yeah I don't think you can take lightly any thing Rasheed Wallace is a key match -- brought the Tayshaun Prince -- the key matchup purposes rip Hamilton you know so there's there's matchup all of -- and then back you know coming off the bench is a key match report so I think that there's. This court dispute about their maturity won it more important that the other."

[7:36]" is a -- a series just my notes. On personal selfish reason -- I'm fascinated by it if I'd known because I know the other matchups of -- pretty much isn't what superstars out there but you know -- Billups is Timmy is very fascinating regular -- your fans in the week about dodges big because. An -- and a with a lot of the other players are going to give the united in expect that this is I think it's very interest in I mean I personally I. That's a -- I'll be focusing on tonight and hope that it's I hope resides could stay out of foul trouble -- at the Q and you lot of minutes from tonight's game."

[8:07]" Yeah do we we need to find ways from -- to be able to attack -- well he's had his moments against dip into the first two games where he's been able to have that speed advantage. And out but when the -- slow down Chauncey towards the back down you know productive need help and so steady in the and so Paul Pierce the -- guarding Chauncey and so is Tony Allen the -- via. You know those that he's one of those guys that system to our pop up that the players get to the free throw line he's quick off the dribble and he can shoot the deep ball he is a complete. -- scored like elected Gilbert Arenas just somebody -- both as a tough one on one matchup for everybody."

[8:47]" Again it give you approximate because a couple of years ago I thought your whole that -- going to be of the get out of and you have turned this team around you made this. The good guys that you have brought in I mean they it is a legit chance of winning it all here. With a team that you built -- Aggies going to say congratulations to you because I had no idea how this call you gonna put all this together. And you've done it you were with. I wasn't as I guess I wasn't quite the but I'm Tanya I didn't know how you -- gavel."

[9:16]" Well I'll put the assistant you know there's there's a lot of reasons why we're able to do it and it always starts with the ownership ownership is the top of the organization and they have the biggest influence on I think that we're able to do it. And but we -- homers -- win. And allowed needed to do some things in the instance some money we have a chance to compete with the top teams in the league well -- ground here."

[9:39]" With the -- Danny obviously you have your sights set on -- on on bigger things but a step towards that can be a win tonight and clinch a playoff spot will be every moment. When you clinch a playoff spot as a first step towards the ultimate goal that you'll be able to take a moment to savor what had transpired here --"

[9:58]" No I think that I felt like we clinch a playoff spot spot after October. First so perhaps yeah yeah you know a question best record made eat that even net you know our goals that are are much higher than that in. Probably won't take too much sense is a great until the -- over."

[10:20]" Let me ask you this -- this the wrong way and if Doc Rivers is listening you know him take the wrong -- but. This -- have to pick up his game as a list of their game in the playoffs is well."

[10:33]" Well let me just say -- that that's the but the very least of my concern. I have all the confidence in the world. I have a lot more confidence that the Doc Rivers gain will be ready and ready to go around in BA playoff I've been any one of my players guys study he works. He either jut make adjustments and he's the least of our concerns stock is it is a big time coach. He knows the game he has always studying the game our coaching staff together is the least of my worries."

[11:09]" I like them and we all want to see him do well -- taken KG -- question -- because he's always has full of emotion what do you worry about anybody else on the team -- game a regular season game like this where emotions are going to be running -- do you worry about that affecting the team in a negative way at all."

[11:26]" What I do because we do have emotional guys and you know I think our guys are are mature. But they -- most you've seen all of our guys you know kind of goal of the top emotionally at at some point or another and the good thing is that they have -- much emotion the bad thing is sometimes emotions get the best of them spoke both and the things concerns me. By four more than any sort of coaching thanks and I have built all of at all that are coaching staff our team ready prepared and for every playoff series at -- time like -- our players want it is that anybody it will prepare themselves the best they can -- On the court the emotions sometimes do get the best to duke in that we -- we have to be traded to handle."

[12:14]" Steve you said if if -- don't take the wrong way gay would you be concerned of doc was listening to WEEI out an hour 45 before the game."

[12:24]" I don't know that the missed the -- that would that would people they it is period. All right -- thanks again good luck and good luck organized going to be a helluva game all the important watch."

[12:39]" Duckett apparently Danny's or the basketball operations of -- obviously now he's brought to buy US sides -- the official insurance broker the Celtics and -- local area Lexus -- this who do you drive a -- this order discover why nothing feels. -- feel what the Lexus and Anderson equate the highest quality architect Wimbledon and lumber that it doesn't equate. In Cambridge and I was ready for McDonough questions to how"
