[0:00]" Regularly bet she'll get back to the phone calls it a couple of minutes at how good things are around these parts out radicals and how bad. They could possibly be so poorly coached at some bad stuff. This is the situation in New York you've probably heard Stephan Marbury left his team in in Phoenix and blow guys at Thomas ultimately game on him let. Okay just like Santa Monica okay. So now Stephan Marbury goes before the media in New York that day. Hate -- and it was Isaiah Thomas -- this quote. Quote Isaiah -- to start me. I've got so much -- on Isaiah and he knows it. He thinks he can bully me. But al bullied him first UN no ID here what I know leaping. And annual match that wow that's that deal with that one out a small Thomas. Kevin Matt Millen. All those guys kept -- I don't all of those I tell you want to get out it was a credit Detroit is is -- rhetoric and so and you. That's the flip side of what could be that is -- instead the local basketball franchise is the only. Undefeated team in the national basketball that's nice and he changed -- The other other rest -- the rest of the world --"

[1:23]" that's I've been following that little different. Saying."

[1:26]" The only thing that ever happened he was going to tell thrown and things -- anybody proposal up anybody ever what you want to plain done that view of the them."

[1:35]" You know like it can't imagine that happening."

[1:39]" That's a -- Isaiah has to start a system that's not let me let's start this year and obviously coming off of that. Recent trials you know New York media's just field this. Let's talk about this franchise you know I was with you -- I'm -- I drive -- great job -- this is this is funny is this more and happening quicker that you expected."

[2:08]" You know I I think that our our record. -- is obviously he's as good as the Indian right now but I I think we can still get better as a team I think 13 is playing another emotional but I think that there's a lot of things that we can be better. I think. We had great. Performances different guys each eight all -- Big Three of carried us and it stretches throughout the course -- six games we've gotten pretty inconsistent -- the -- Zanardi has been excellent and yet -- I think what we've still look better in double play."

[2:42]" I would agree with you obviously can always get better what amazes me and I'm I'm dismissing the sixth nothing record it is just trying to. Analyze and break him down defensively. Where this team couldn't make stops in the last few years. Right now you're making all the stuff you need to be the second of all I thought last night Indian it was sloppy at times of course the places forced into that tied the game. I thought that they broke the pacers methodically I mean talked about coaching game plan and and and after pierce was hot in the way that you got Alan involved when they started I just -- on -- this stuff because of the last few years."

[3:24]" well. Yeah -- have visit the talent do it goes well I mean beatle -- biggest thing we've seen him do that. I mean I begin over the last few years. But then you know Paul -- at the beginning of the third quarter than probably the closeout -- they have been able to take turns little bit. Intact he'd be opponents and in the same time -- been implicated rounds with guys on the bench as as -- our bench has played well. And I was actually been better defensively although I understand that our bench typically plays against -- expect a bit -- it has been even better than starters so that's very encouraging."

[4:01]" Yeah here's what I like in just watching this team play I love the unselfish basketball. The way this team is playing the way guys pass the ball around the court the wide open shot the guys hit the shot and I remember a media day. The question was asked do you in to some of the other guys. You know. When it comes down to the final moment who's going to take the last shot -- you know what it's not even an issue these guys -- so oneself was with the ball."

[4:28]" It's not an issue I knew that would issue in the biggest issues for us is just consistency else. And you know -- continued development our young guys that we need to get more consistent."

[4:40]" I think it says surprised you about Kevin Garnett I mean obviously Finley for awhile now but. Anything that he's may be brought even behind the scenes or defensively that has really pleasantly surprised you"

[4:57]" I've been surprised by you know what can accomplish so much over the years I think it's just refreshing much should be status surprised statistic they figured they if you had better players around the Pierce's indicate cheese and the -- on the -- is gonna drive even more and that's been been very evident from the first -- camp on."

[5:19]" It when you acquired -- Scalabrine we you looking for a veteran that. Some of what he does might rub off on some of the of the young players that part of the reason that you went acquired him."

[5:33]" Well -- think about Scalabrine is -- game is becoming a three point game has become such a it popped in on the perimeter and -- needed to have in the past is of and the complete -- advocate providers for the people to presents. He's one of our best in the post here are two of our very best defenders even now you would dispute talent we have on our team and you know and the guys that can make plays -- pick and -- make three point shot that he can make the plays -- pick Rowland now in Moscow as. I think is much more suited for. The plane passed both better players around him because -- people that are god and that's that's going to be the that they and so I think. Else that have much better now than I was younger group."

[6:19]" While that was the follow up I was going to throw watching -- watching the difference of him to -- with good players -- first of all he's getting those open threes now he's not constantly feeling. A hand in his face of accents can you gonna do spend more time covering Allen and and covering appears when they're out there. On the floor but defensively you can bring they can bring him in for stretches of the game where he kind of changes looked up all the little bit especially when guys you know. -- up poignant."

[6:46]" He brings great energy -- again in the -- he and teammate block just because he competes with such high level but still it was about -- now mean just being in day out those guys brings a professionalism and an effort. And you know the coaches trust them just that they're going to be in the right spot -- sensibly get a box -- man -- they're going to do all the little things and -- you know felt comfortable this year looks like that you know there may be -- 20 minutes to games he gets and then it but you seemed to be guided -- you know there's there's quite -- around the has developed great gillick."

[7:20]" They did a -- I was going to go back to Saturday's game against New Jersey that's Glen Davis where it was Austin I thought he was a game -- of the game not bad for rookie in that particular spot come first time back tobacco -- guys playing. Although -- I thought he was the difference in the game."

[7:35]" I agree with you and now I I think the grand as every opportunity he's got so -- has played well he's certainly makes a rookie mistake but he wanted to make couple that with -- effort -- knowledge he's got quick mind. And it's fast learner. He's used to everything we've got to do right now it could be after the Clinton."

[7:55]" I'm glad you are called baby I have proof that we can. Calling your grown men they'd be I don't know it's what if it did it wasn't a lot heavier of a couple years ago. Did you lose that he's still big guy I mean and I respect that don't get me wrong but he he he -- was somewhat correct."

[8:14]" Yeah -- lost weight he's lost the significant about a week from two years ago college. In you know if it's a battle for -- we got to -- stay on him and the mixture is doing all the work. That we put everything we can't try to get the nutritional advice and and make things these people have been inconsistent to maintain this weight conditioning the best we can."

[8:36]" A based on effect that he does play with some quickness -- here is there a week you want to get them down to is it is that still part of the program. To get him down at a lower weight then he's at right now."

[8:48]" Well you know I think of the things that spot. Constraint is not this just -- week but scaled -- back. He's like if that all the work he's got important eating habits and he's got a good look more consistent but I he didn't make great strides in the last few months."

[9:04]" And we start of the shows saying you know the Celtics are better than we have thought ago would be and we -- going to be very everything exactly -- I expect no question but. When you look at the east I think the -- pretty weak but what team out west. Do you think matches up best would give the -- hardest time."

[9:24]" I'll hit it off loaded right now but obviously Santonio Holmes PPP with four championships this group of guys -- while it. He had the two times -- and it in the atmosphere will they were very well. So obviously it starts Antonio. And I think he -- editorial went for their money at Dallas over the last couple years. In that used to looks to be the real deal this year also also looks like -- probably you've seen in the last."

[9:54]" I just think you guys can beat these games but the good the good news though it the way everything is set up. Is that when you get into the playoffs -- the face one of them. That's right well we we talked about it early in the show what you talk about the influence of Tom that widow Liz had on this team in in the -- he's brought."

[10:14]" We'll probably I've got a great deal of experience in hand -- work ethic. It is pretty magnificent the in the coaching world and I think that that. And I'm Mike -- the parties will -- arm and that chip and could be getting used to last year also has that it you know the great work ethic to a coaching staff and just additional. Knowledge to our game our preparation their practice time in everything the development of young players so we're excited -- both those guys. You know in the it's apparent adopted as a great deal of trust in Paul they spend a lot of side with one another this is not -- those he's sent -- the doctors before. And you know doc is is what you decide what kind of people complain but -- it -- statement -- his knowledge and what he's come from two walks off to. To spend time he should there's there's. A lot of responsibilities the -- as a as a head coach. And it appears that he's got a great little culprits involved."

[11:17]" Does it interest that you become a lot better coach when players aren't certain things together a great job well. The dark Clinton who in the in the in the last couple years. -- especially at the beginning of the season much advance scouting do you do and the -- more so at the beginning of the season because you look at somebody's rosters in the in the have changed coaches have changed with some of these teams systems -- much more do you do early on when appointees team's first --"

[11:49]" I think you do more. Sure we we have but to have scouts out watch all the games we have coaches suitable be being televised now today that they've and so we have coaches watching you know up five to ten games the previous ain't the -- For the first time around it's much more expensive than this as the season goes on and that is it possible playoffs you you can just make sure you'd -- there's an outdoor things do with the players aren't they would do that -- all the quotes is that we have the need it out we have the technology I don't think we built without watching any of the games in the NBA in the course of the year."

[12:27]" However this conversation with bill Bulger in the show one on Monday. And he said that he doesn't gain much out of watching him on TV of football so much different game you know. He wants to be able see the coaches view the whole field the players lined out everything. Now directv and I've got the same package you have probably everybody else in your organization as you can virtually watch any one of these NBA games but what you get. Out of those telecast do you need more do you -- other. Views or do you need people to be either in person to be able picked up the on the wants this stuff that they -- to get off the sidelines what they're doing."

[13:01]" Yeah we need people -- we do -- and I think that that's important you can get the call what the other teams are called it that plays in these players want to pretty much catapult the next time you play it anyway political consultant gap in their persons certainty that that's obviously the -- out to do that but do you consultants and probably believe you're basketball it isn't football. And that just read -- freezing you're in people as well there's a lot to see I watch it is on TV while."

[13:34]" He's one of those cameras on the sideline. Yeah and it took a more in the National Football League I thought that was board New Jersey gets seen him twice now in the course of of one week. When you play did you like seeing the team a few days later in the you're familiar with. Pretty much I mean you can forget an awful lot from 40s before you like plane that a team that quickly after you just played. -- any day a lot of that the -- lot more I think it today."

[14:06]" A little -- because you've -- useful pulls together at its -- We both games with a double -- baseball it's. Is difficult because the sweet. You know it's difficult when -- even QB UT by 1230 in the that was scary is he's deployed the next night it was what was needed to be in the NBA now. A team that went by 21 night and it'll play him to get it later the other team win by 20 itself. It's the basic thing but archives better be ready tonight to come out because majors is going to be pretty angry -- than last. Last Wednesday so."

[14:43]" And by the way I -- to take it -- they actually played that better when Vince Carter left the game the other after the injury you know. I don't know why but maybe it. It is obvious that plays well but certainly New Jersey seem like they -- court."

[14:57]" Well I believe in the idea I think one reason was that they were down by 20 they've kind of been. History museum in the first short period of time that probably -- make it easier to -- to clarify who's going to get the ball and Jason -- pretty mystical it is getting better at upon as it has more world maybe what the course of the game you need the partisanship accidentally hit -- a shared responsibility."

[15:19]" I filed a request from here today Q you've been the peacemaker you gotta bring. The fellows together and I know you've got a bad reputation when you were players peoples that you would instigate. Creates out there and what I -- none of that which Drew I knew that you with a true peacemaker and that and that's what -- Incredible match last week here in the big show and then he'd. Established that the three games and got by the way that the want to -- Jefferson for Kevin Garnett three games of the season. Max was ready to -- Kevin Garnett is the second best player. In Celtics history I'm -- behind Russell but I had a bird. And listen of this Greg Dickerson. Who just can't keep his nose out anything technically last night giggled and asked this question to -- to Larry -- max is already proclaim Kevin Garnett -- second greatest Celtic all time behind bill Russell. That's fine you know max put -- us new park will improve the seasons up. So can you -- you guys actually like you do anything."

[16:21]" That is that that -- outs"

[16:25]" I don't I don't all but that's missing a live what are you talking about that is one. And and and -- did tell him and Larry's or voice he wasn't playing around with them --"

[16:38]" Well I don't think I don't think. I don't think there's very al -- you know I. First the ball if I let the player for eight years we won two championships with into the finals were signed Kevin Garnett been here for six games. So I think we're jump ahead of ourselves little bit of an optimistic Kevin Garnett is playing in the first six games there's a lot of to be excited about you know I I think it's crazy is -- kind of announcement this certainly I don't think it does -- two to talk about the different years -- the did play -- two completely different kind of players and their bowl. Very special their own right at that's what kept in play a little bit more applicable -- ask you before you start making those comparisons."

[17:20]" Here's the good news for you people actually now. Compare same sentence guys on this team. With guys in the that's a good thing -- cannot be and I agree with every compare our team right and I agree with everything you just said but having said that. At least you know they're talking in the same likes what's -- talking about this team versus the in all that it's yanked. I just want to say thanks for -- victory by called Big Three they've written at the editorial that called the victory -- a little like I don't know."

[17:52]" I don't I you don't really like the Big Three I think I'd it's it's easier just -- in the I've got blocked about that is I still think I'd still I still think in my own mind that -- shall have to be involved in that victory because I mean as Larry said about. Best teammate he's ever played -- and you know I including guards in the Big Three in the let me book today in a shot in my mind certain people -- that victory."

[18:21]" I was called them that that's what I was like those four guys and Quinn Buckner three the bit at the big thing. And -- hopefully next week we'll talk to you will be the fourth week at a world will talk and you'll be fit. Then again simulate.
