[0:00]" Danny agent he's brought to -- US site insurance the official insurance broker of the Boston Celtics and buy your local area Lexus dealer. The -- drive Alexis the studio discover why nothing else feels quite like Alexis and Anderson equate for the highest quality -- architectural molding some lumber visit Anderson equating Cambridge native beat jeopardy for the bingo today along with -- channel four. A former Red Sox infielder -- Alou Maloney. And I know Danny you have you're always obviously credible scouting trips but I always im amazed that they always appear to be in. Great climates like you are in Los Angeles I -- out of conference USA tournament Memphis Tennessee."

[0:34]" East album like well yeah you can resorted I. More than I have to be here okay I figure out part of what to do it they're going to therapy pit."

[0:46]" The well did -- congratulations first I know it's you know it another -- a fifty win season the team going for ten straight wins since we last talked was last wins director for the Detroit game. The team has played unbelievable have been some big time -- but Doug want to just go back to that Detroit game. From a week ago and just the atmosphere at the garden the whole thing was your what was your take on it and -- special was up for regular season game."

[1:12]" That was dead but the good atmosphere and I think the closer -- games for players and coaches and fans participate area our guys came out I don't think we played great I don't think Detroit played great but it wasn't. From from the beginning of the game was difficult to make shots -- it'd be easy to get to work or. HT particularly like aspect."

[1:35]" He's he's been. Yeah he's been brilliant particularly over the last -- 45 inspect how bout them psychologically though was that was enough people Britain talk about. That would really was a must you know must win for the Celtics ahead to show that they can you know beat this team and all. Is there anything to that and psychologically to this doesn't mean anything at the team in los -- would have been devastating or anything --"

[1:57]" I don't think I don't buy into that it experience tells -- got my experience tells me that you know you. They don't want to or popcorn at best and most most people smoke -- team in the league. You know respond better a lot that the did you -- And so I really think it meatball that much -- Detroit -- opted schematic -- the team. And doubt winning is is very fragile in this league it could be call B now that shot free throw here -- their -- that determines the out so. I think it would be good -- brought -- on yet really give performances such a big game out of our young guys resign as well came really big rail though you know shooting one for nine. But it'd have played an excellent or game what they beat down six and it really good job defensively it was a lot of the bank and."

[2:49]" Davis' Lou Maloney the goal. Good but it all right -- good good good listed whipped -- Celtics fans on him you're excited get this kid coming tonight Kevin Durant. He but anyway he's a special talent at the C Milan actually Texas an adult friend in my coaching down there so I got to see him as Celtics fans now we think back how close whoever get this guy a guy like Oden holidays you see this team coming together and let let's see at the first -- to take OT Kevin Durant. It was a decision to have a team who knows Ray Allen comes here Kevin Garnett comes here coming off tees they sit back with the ball that."

[3:25]" I'd I'd really built you know you it's whatever happened happened did you move forward -- And you know but what's Kevin Durant by a lot and I I guess -- mother really well yeah."

[3:36]" Yeah and I I'm evidently it was asking about that before him on the."

[3:41]" So but anyway -- Kevin Turkic talent you'd still very young and physically he's going to get stronger but as Saatchi and tell you to see you be able to you deny what what kind of a potential get. He's a great score and let it heal it is extremely ball well long arms long body. And we get -- down the block shots at it passing he'll be in the and I'm big fans."

[4:08]" They -- burden here how long you think it would take for Sampras ought to get acclimated to his new teammates and."

[4:14]" It is the parent I mean I think it's you know and went out plate. Thirty minute and I'd think he'd be okay I think that you know what is it to Sox aren't able mean there's. There's a lot of things going right right now and it's not like we need to make a lot of changes inside. We're not we're not desperate -- Sam out there right that we need to get animal the next twenty games just to get. -- and that is our objective and no question in my mind that you don't with. Just the chance to play a lot -- that and the quick jump right in there would be fine at that most players."

[4:49]" They're talked about it though impact players on the team other than the current quote unquote Big Three. And we talked about Rondo a lot this year but man over the last week or so Perkins is really come as a result we saw flashes last year big rebounding games but that performance the other night who 120 boards was was just unbelievable and he just the EC big in the whole garden that didn't matter where the ball was he was gravity and how much of an impact is Kevin Garnett Allen has a cut and it is has an impact on his success."

[5:18]" Well I think kept at mid -- everybody just just personality but I think it worked. You know it was playing really well up this year or your shoulder and came back he's older. On the west coast trip the first two games even though we keep it pretty good effort it's called a damper on thought they KG and perk. We're both not competent in their. In their body because -- it would just a little bit and -- was -- and you also you can pull it does come together at the time. You become comfortable with Kirk shoulder kept coming in and and since that's Martinez -- level."

[5:54]" And here is what I like about -- the fact that you know grand idea -- fifty wins in 1512 on the season but he obviously is not satisfied that he's downplaying everything you know what. We're not satisfied with. It's not about the fifty wins -- finishing what we started here -- like that."

[6:10]" Well yeah I mean I think the players' -- to me it's fun to win games it's fun to. Perhaps some success but I I think everybody in the organization feel that way we are a couple of doubt last year right and you know -- got stay hungry we've got there on. Since you think you feel like it made it that's when you give trouble so as long as we stay humble and continue to work which is all I've seen adopt a good job keep in the -- humble accept the veterans you know keep everybody on board continuing to work. To improve and now we feel like we still need to get better even the twenty games to go we need to get better from this point on our help. And our our depth -- our guys on the bench don't play great competent."

[6:53]" They talk a bit about them and the maturity on this team and by that I mean you know after when it's -- some and won that game at Detroit back in January. Right after that little little bit -- lot of -- went to that particular game then that the guy has lost three out of four whatever was the first like mini slump while the year but now. You win that huge game last Wednesday. Pages to a lot of kick the crap out of them remaining the teams that and other I mean not equality Andrew bird it was on ban blowouts it and a couple of got close at one point by. That's -- it was a big difference from now compared to a month ago. No let down at all."

[7:28]" Right you know I think fifteen that he has has -- been in except serving a year when you get up to 29 to restart I mean. If you're -- incompetence and want another. And I think that the team -- felt that even when we haven't won all the games never sensed that they didn't leave -- one another. And we've been able to overcome those little mini flops every team as well so I just think our team to get healthy and our team is playing well right now we just need to. Like it's dead it's it's good that we don't have BP we're not a situation where we have to. Grind out every win by playing our starters forty plus minutes dot Hispanic great job of managing the minutes of the guys volley ball and so good about whether working -- right now and that'll be out the top game of over the next ten days so it'll be another. Another really good cast. Just see where this team."

[8:22]" Denny and in your mind who's the best team the west."

[8:28]" I don't I don't know it's it's hard to discount San Antonio went in and what they've been through as a team. And you know paper at talent standpoint he'd probably point to the Lakers. But if Antonio like that I mean it's it's hard -- it's -- it's part depends on how old they are but. They haven't ever really good group of guys -- coach with great experience team that's been together and been through the wars that that you walk in the."

[8:58]" Do the Celtics match up better against a San Antonio Tim Laker team."

[9:03]" I don't know not sure that matters. I think they're both good people create -- problems and out but I'm not I'm not sure I'm at a spot that far."

[9:13]" You have to speak of the -- accomplishment in your thoughts on the Houston Rockets and what they've been able to accomplish on this huge -- street without without dominion. And I hope it continues until you guys get their next week."

[9:25]" You know I think that they you know the -- part of it has been -- been -- that they really had not part of the schedule it's got me about it -- and see what. How they can continue best but nineteen Rel anytime anywhere it is spectacular blah you know let's just very rare -- right L and expected with the depth the league's so. I tip my hat to that to Houston and Tracy McGrady watching him play it he's just been playing fantastic and the heat. He's not category right now -- brought Colby individually right but he's a close third. And especially the level of play in this nineteen game streak."

[10:03]" Well you beyond Seattle again coming off follow los less than you catch another team playing on back to back nights anybody see this. The matchup tonight with Seattle you yet it was a pretty good game refer remember correctly few months ago it was December he played them. I'm in Seattle that was -- that was a helluva game McKim I was lot closer but Delonte West and Szczerbiak -- bear that out there anymore so how things change for the Supersonics."

[10:25]" Well -- after the game we should win that would play well. You know are we come ready and focused in and -- you know execute the make shots of the game we should win. Seattle we don't have the same team you know it's always -- you'd never underestimate a team we have the Szczerbiak and Escalante who. Got traded away this summer in a lot of -- it off than they were really. Take two -- but. You know they have this team has some good young talent. You can't complain for contracts situations and for some respect that and and the -- loose and -- and and and no real pressure on the team to win so these are always scary games when you play detective team late in the season."

[11:05]" And if we're tonight hopefully will be the first at ten game winning streak and and what fifteen years fourteen years. I don't again it's. Beat in a -- for the first time in the intelligent helped out there."

[11:19]" Other I don't -- what it's of that stuff but that this. The team you don't deserve a lot of credit the coach deserves credit went into art but again it was it was you know we -- nobody wants to get too excited about. It."

[11:32]" So what do you what do you cal Washington then that I Arizona and Oregon State tonight."

[11:37]" Yeah the other of the activity deep mean even in his preliminary game it's -- NBA prospects some of these fourteen so. Terminated I think it would be this conference about -- to."

[11:49]" Right -- any -- pleasure as always thanks a lot and good luck -- a look at the pac ten tournament we'll talk to next Wednesday. Okay next at -- director of basketball operations for the Celtics"
