Sooner you'll discover -- nothing else feels quite like Alexis AM by interests of equate for the highest quality architectural holdings and lover. Visit Anderson according. In -- Danny Ainge was one of those legends it was out there on the on the field here at Fenway Park yesterday -- did you enjoy that."
[0:28]" Doubles spot tied to edit it chipped it to a you know he Casey Jones cannot -- on in the top put on though and -- and and -- have a chance to sit talked to Teddy Bruschi enjoyed it. Well yeah ML could have beat number eight."
[0:45]" Shut up what you guys mortgage from left field and ever always liked hockey nonstop ball old diamond there."
[0:52]" Tape of the bat on the isn't any he. In the these these these hysterically kept everybody up in the background on."
[1:00]" That's pretty amazing that the Red -- PR department said it's the first time that all four trophies have been one location. It's incredible no credible you know all for the championship trophy -- Kenny I notice that when you walked by the tigers dugout and look like to stop for a second and either Jim Leland came up and it's on the -- or. What was on any particular that you met him before."
[1:22]" I am just one time before I just said I'd go home and then not the I'm terrible with names but really -- relief pitcher -- days -- yet played this spot acting that Toronto this and I --"
[1:37]" And also looked to me like we when liberties some of the stuff we're not there we really feel. To meet -- he came out yeah and with Orr Russell wash our McCalebb talked to a question I -- a sportsman meet them you'd and a huge. And we didn't know you're a sports fan so I'm just curious as to what. I'm not you know you have any particular respect or appreciation for someone my Cleveland."
[2:02]" I probably yeah I tournament favorite managers of all time despite watching imminent or the outside in. Think record from players but yeah I'm a big fan."
[2:11]" I don't think it was kind of neat though that you get. You know because things to go so well in this town that one team kind of feeds. Off of the other and obviously good things happen you guys I'm sure you probably. Play at the same way but it -- this -- symmetry here amongst the teams because -- success."
[2:31]" You know and that last year when you know things were gone well for us and now. The standard that that the franchise battle with the Celtics -- the standard that they set back commit to -- and sixties and seventies and so forth but what ages ago what the Red Sox are doing I think that that is that is but just not been that good and that standard no expectations are great. And and -- take all the teams are are playing up to their expectations that perspective on to great the great place to win."
[2:58]" let's get to your your team how difficult do you think these games are. For your guys to play right now."
[3:06]" There. They're you know there's a lot of -- a lot of player for playing against their immediate team's complaint against Blake have nothing to lose an -- play a little bit freer and easier. And our guys there it's it's a fine line going and -- sharp at the rest they needed you know avoiding injuries. I mean you know an injury not mean that it can happen right now and you know obviously get attache in getting rusty but. I think our guys have done a great job I think doc is doing a magnificent job in managing all that."
[3:36]" When you talk about injuries will what is the situation right now it's -- itself."
[3:43]" Sampras -- the weak bat he's going to be fine but we're just being extra cops with him right now he's. He's going to be okay and he would be playing right now these games were more meaningful. For but we I don't want to play anybody that had any sort of injury any even -- Berger who want to get on the rest if he's healthy."
[4:01]" Do you guys feel comfortable enough that that he knows what you guys are doing what you're system is how you're operating both offensively and defensively. That he doesn't need to an awful lot of games can you don't have many of me to get ready for the post season."
[4:15]" Like you know it means camp in great shape and play basketball -- long we don't -- about the conditioning factor -- he's had practice and lots -- outscored and you know ideally the appetite begins to have minutes right now but you know the most important thing is to --"
[4:30]" Did he obviously only five games ago it is there. What is the ideal blueprint for those games now given. Where you lie in the standings and what the obvious objectives are -- I guess I'm asking ultimately is. In the last couple games to start is necessarily need to play a certain amount of minutes just to make sure that. Everything is in line for the post season Oilers -- still -- primary thing."
[4:56]" Well hell is that is the primary thing I can -- guys have been rested a lot during the course of the year. And I think you know again -- is doing a great job of that I think that. It's what part -- matter what you just say no matter what sort of strict strategy you can come up with its heart beat players know what's gonna the players on the team that are out of the lottery they know it's going the players that are playing hurt you know home court advantages and in the Western Conference in some situations in the Eastern Conference. Played the -- I mean everybody knows what's happening. And no matter what coach says no matter what -- teammates say it's sometimes it's hard. To get the motivation out of players ads that look forward to the playoffs so yeah -- is I think it's really important and that this is going to be anybody's -- the players are pocked with. Consulted what do they feel like they're doing what they whether pot telling them. And you know everybody got the same gold mine is a lot of communication going on right now and -- and that those decisions will be made -- daily as to what sort of grind we need to push forward or some bad normal bit rusty or maybe he wants to get back into a -- a little -- than someone else. And to have those conversations about that with the players regularly."
[6:13]" But Denny we had to staff the sky department guys at the -- related to match at a -- this playoff picture mean you -- to -- three point 32 with three teams reds. Indiana out of this thing just look at Atlanta."
[6:26]" You know I think that we. You know we have a really good feel for both those teams we -- them bolts so much -- that's so. Mustard that that would make much difference for us and you know it's certainly looked like it's going to be Atlanta. And I think that our advance scout has probably done more lateral but collapsed ten days to two weeks and anybody else's because that. Where it's going but we you have people scouting in -- now so and we'll keep the cap on that so it's not really that big -- deal out. Most teams a battle and been in in that that's still think it's going to be Atlanta also met."
[6:59]" Today's biggest bigness scouts apparently there's one player for the Denver Nuggets tonight Allen Iverson who said they were we in the state beyond southeastern conference to think about that."
[7:09]" Well the -- to stop him but -- the topics -- point 55 against the and aspect -- anybody in BA bet against the west but those guys. He you know everybody in the state for the west there's a lot better than east but they had the opportunity to come out east and win some games and they didn't get it."
[7:30]" What comes to the schedule would start the -- sweetest -- in your friends trying to it was just say something that might not be picked -- from the rocky -- a lot of back. I'd like -- He couldn't do that the suppliers and other things. It is different in a different job we can get away with -- I L asked about the scheduled post season because obviously. It's a lot different than the regular season where you play in four games in five nights in three different cities or whatever you -- time -- between. On the other hand the networks seemed to have more of -- say. In dictating how these games are played out party. -- heard from a little birdie that Boston and Los Angeles are two teams that they want to feature a lot an awful lot. On television if you had any import with -- people within the organization have been evident any input. With the -- specially since you played a building that you share with a hockey team that could be playing some hockey games at that time."
[8:29]" Right so you know that of the two things that that we are at the mercy of the building. And sharing it with a -- and a playoff games and ABC. And ESPN NT NT. Those of the through it both they're dictating what and in the NBA ultimately makes the decision on what who plays where we really don't have a lot say they have available -- The TV it's a priority that who they want on TV you know what time and then we just start sit around wait -- find out when we polite."
[8:58]" So it's a good thing that they all want the Boston Celtics on prime time but could that also virtual little bit in that you you've got three different networks are two different networks really that'll be fighting out and want to get you want to --"
[9:14]" You know I think it I don't think it matters you know what Lieber back in the eighties when when would you -- I remember we went to Atlanta one area and it was because CBS wanted us on a price on Saturday and Sunday back the bat in the playoffs which is than usual you know it's the same for both teams whatever decided and the other players are used to playing board games and five nights like he said. And if there's three days in between game they're used to it in and it's it's all the same for both teams and so vital military could took advantage or disadvantage for anybody."
[9:44]" One of those days you guys always get that Sunday 1 o'clock game. And if that happens again -- you get a lot of those Sunday 1 o'clock games and the Lakers let's say get the 4 o'clock game -- whatever this. I mean do they have to space this thing out enough that they give you enough time so it's it's it's fair to you guys."
[10:03]" Well again it will be -- it'll be for the same for both teams whatever they decide that. Whatever they need to get two different networks but you have ABC who want this on Sunday afternoon Juan and anti -- fight -- or Monday night slot -- that that's where could be it just so this situation where you put back to back but again whatever whatever cited I think it will be. I think that it's the same for both teams have come out of trouble and -- worried about."
[10:30]" Our -- who you don't have an effect she really isn't that next series if you get -- that next series and somebody get a different time -- that you guys. Any obviously has been a lot made of the national championship game on Monday. Between Kansas Memphis and and particularly what unfolded in the final. A couple of minutes of regulation to do there have been a lot of opinions from. Memphis lost -- on the free throw shooting to tell me it's import coaching decisions. Do you have any particular opinion but the critical elements were in that game in the final minutes."
[11:06]" Let you know it is it's such an amazing thing I -- I I doubt very did it did a masterful job coaching the next game. And the good thing -- that coach self. When he went box and one double bill while the game Baird beat that -- fantastic eagle box Juan. And it's -- woke up Derrick Rose -- been sleeping most of the games. And -- those for about eight -- nine straight points and gets them you know the big lead. And then but I've I've sat on the bench before and said. If if my my -- make these 23 -- great coach and he misses them on the terrible coach and that's kind of what happened out very get a good job. He he claims he ordered the -- it looked like it right when it was right when the shot that you know it was kind of frustrated at -- didn't ballot when you would win column was dribbled the ball up the court so. Both of -- never know. You know but you know bottom everything went right for -- to win that game they knock down the queue jumpers to turnovers I just don't think you can candlestick kind of thing that coaches. You gotta win the game and you have a nine point lead but I would say that you know -- you also have to make -- free throws of that they would just say. Every -- okay if we just make our free -- and don't turn the ball well for the game as -- parts. It's -- an attempt -- renewable lot of pre."
[12:27]" I'm sorry to me to catch up I was gonna -- do -- do you have any. Personal history with Calipari because -- a Matt did it ever dealt them."
[12:35]" I've I don't -- aria -- within a few times he called every year like that -- in him but I'm about. Up bad news conference and and just those kind of things but not that I'm not a -- out -- but up what I've just knowing what yours and same with bill self I think he's. A fantastic basketball coach both those guys aren't. I think it really come under the players make plays usually a lot more southern coaching at that stage this --"
[12:58]" Well in the business aspect -- get this huge apparently huge off from Oklahoma State if he does go there and I don't see how we can turn on the kind of money. He wants is album a lot of these of course you think cal could and the coach and up at Kansas and wouldn't that be ironic."
[13:12]" Yeah I don't know count go to Kansas I don't think that would happen mil -- more -- yeah. I think Alco like that worries that -- I think it makes I would be surprised to seek out try to get back into the NBA at some point."
[13:29]" Now why else thought wideout or every I don't know pleases me. Like Rick pitino much -- will be a big great NBA coach and north cal parry to be great NBA coach we know always a great college coach."
[13:43]" I think I think Rick pitino could be an an excellent vehicle I think he isn't a fantastic coat yeah. I think I think al part immediately BA coach and -- built up could be good in BA coach to mean in my takes some time but. Usually the college coaches haven't made it because thirteen have any good because coaches that made it in -- have been successful the only one that Albert wanted inherited really get the Andy -- panic at the wrong so I think anyone who guys are very capable coach and in double -- succeed."
[14:13]" Did you forget forgive me for not knowing the NBA rules on this kind of stuff inside and out but are you allowed. To comment at all on some of the talent separate out participated in that game on Monday night."
[14:25]" I'm definitely not under."
[14:29]" Definitely not -- myself declined eclectic here everybody's different than any from passing -- the yellows but with a good. The count -- a great and allegedly about Derrick Rose. But let me ask this kid you sit with their mother and anyone who can -- sellout."
[14:48]" And it gave it a cup it's a very very expensive ticket."
[14:52]" Residence outside got consequences artistically anyway we happening discussion here a little while ago topic comes up Monday's. On these types of gains. That -- missed it to analyze. What types of players and him in history if Andy could have excelled at playing every position on the floor. Do do you know -- yourself please. Do off the top it. Do you look at any guys you played against. -- in the game now in the news today. You know he's the one guy thing that could've played point could've played tuning guide could jumps and our big big good that no matter where you put them."
[15:32]" Well I think they've the -- becomes the mind today is that LeBron James and not in my era it was Magic Johnson. I think those that stand out more than anybody's because of their athletic system. And their side which is really unique ethnic Scottie Pippen in it was a little bit stand to be playing better but he probably could have been one of the next guy. That was multi skilled a five tool player type thing in baseball terminology but I would say it LeBron and -- extent --"
[16:00]" Well -- does a basketball we're talking about this that it depends whether your offense -- defense allows explain to these guys that. The Larry Bird against the pistons would be the guy that would guard Billy -- and obviously when there's not going to guard Larry because he's going to stop them but. You you play and you got to fight your guy -- you going down the floor which you play one guy offensively of one guy defensively so you're in essence playing one position. At in one into the floor and different position at the other into the flow correct."
[16:29]" PI and you know that's why the -- matchups sometimes -- confused teams and you know there's been in transition you just have to pick up who -- you guard -- so in essence. It's been about what life outside the match ups are so overrated because you have to guard the other guys all the time anyway."
[16:46]" Eddie -- why not. I mean in I don't mean this is as a negative or critical or why not Jordan group to."
[16:54]" and Michael Jordan if you played him a better to probably our most centers in the league -- certainly could play there 123 yen an NF Forman easily and you know Michael Jordan's six -- and a 66 -- weighed about 215210 pounds and saw -- you know I'm playing against a lot of energy or magic was six not. It was -- that he was bigger than most power forwards in the game in the big urban buck Williams. And people don't realize that I'd have magic Johnson and and and the -- being with abroad jailed in the plunging 68250 pounds and he's got speed. And power mean he's got the strength and speed to play every position and so you know Michael Jordan -- that you know. Planes that are is that you know more gimmick but Michael I've Michael Jordan on the court probably beat anybody in the history of the game."
[17:48]" Dale Bryant magic post up big guys they can take big guys that blocked you know it's funny James didn't cross my mind oh yeah always -- yeah he he's -- if that is true though now. Of course Scottie Pippen. Now I did we'll talk and actually have a good one. Any Asia brought to you by you know SI insurance the official after a broker.
