[0:00]" I may be a wasn't the utley as basketball game ever played it just felt like it. Celtics -- last night of the Detroit Pistons series now tied it two and as Michael said. We are probably headed for a seven game series joining -- says he has throughout the playoffs to help. Dissect and analyze is our friend from Comcast. Comcast has great pre and post game coverage even -- the games are on ESPN and ABC Donny Marshall is -- say Donnie."

[0:25]" More I -- Yeah that was that wasn't a pretty much very."

[0:30]" As do you think it was I said dale earlier that you think is your Celtics fan you were being teens the entire night because. It's like they were one good shot or one good possession away from making truly interesting in the fourth quarter."

[0:43]" Yet sometimes they'll get discouraged. You know it kinda game would go back or or give you don't want excellent things over we can -- Chelsea would just don't know. Yeah actually really sometime -- it like in the player. We're like you know I've been in situations where. Aren't where you're always. You know one if it's a turnover or the call doesn't go your way to think that we got that call we could be right in the game that. The -- reality of it is. It will waited so expert again pretty much dictated -- game Canada and -- studio and I told Jerry. -- and what else a lot of times you you don't really eat. And in 99 sitcoms. The waiting game start is pretty much dedicated to get into the playoffs suspensions has -- you know pursuit team -- you. 1620% whatever in the first quarter ended turnaround at that game but could you just didn't happen basketball -- that. Still for all that we -- all this I got a text from some but it Puerto Rico. Bob brief four days ago -- and not really not even got Beckett and missed that. Equality are you go on a vacation I guess that's what it was but it was their loss which they -- He felt any you know fanatic and how nice it is you know we're gonna hit it goes so -- pulled -- beach it was like. It will be two to back home to be two to come back the box. By it was a game recall -- ever I mean you must don't count toward retirement and had this little crystal ball on line well halted. I mean even on the money right absolutely on the money -- and give it up my call."

[2:26]" What are on his what's gotten into a little places and Juan. Ask asked for asked with the old man oh man the value of the future that's I don't. Yeah."

[2:40]" Hey did you feel at all 'cause and and you guys know the game better than I do so maybe I'm just talking through my hat here -- feel like you know like. Fairly early on the Celtics almost got intimidated about the paint because everything was it jammed in slapped away and and blocked back in their face I mean there was about seven of us drive into the paint and kicked out to the guy outside the three point line was driving me crazy watch him."

[3:03]" Yeah it started a game like that the Celtics started that game shouldn't jump shots we all peers could took two or three you know we saw game eat. They were getting to the basket in the first that the way -- it was they were immediately ups cutting said exclaimed the spacing was great. There was not spacing the start they gain -- and then they ordered you know I don't even think. You know I'm still not you know not to go back and look at look at that urged that again and usually do that the next day. Really cheap Detroit beat -- really that great part it was the Celtics just settling I'm not sure it was great. Great -- censor the Celtics set a world we have open Jets were going to take out. -- and it's it was still I'd give four."

[3:49]" You know died there a couple of guys in the Pistons you pretty much Nocioni -- from a I think we know going to get from Chauncey Billups in this series. Rasheed Wallace and surprise you must. But McDyess was a little bit of a surprise to me last night because he was making so many shots would you change the have you Doc Rivers. Would you change your approach to McDyess or would you just gamble that he's not going to be that effective from 1517 feet for the final three games of the series."

[4:16]" What BQ -- actors you have to count and Indian that affected you really do who. That'll been around the league who's hungry for a championship we know that. It is interviews an brilliant guy who we keep coming out of college recalled -- but not because in the jump shot because he was just. You know around the basket strong block shots he's really reinvented himself you know really changed his game. -- down most you know 1819 foot jump shot consistency you know lifting that I I think you know. I wouldn't say dark going to change you know who he puts on make -- I would say he's going to have to you know got it is going to have to work harder. At communing communicating getting through screens getting over screens switching -- if the team needs help. Okay else failed him. It's almost insiders and the Mets that you come down to try to get that ball out of whoever and -- they -- so. I don't think -- McDyess they look like he was taking Paul Pierce type shots with a guy and it's based you know spinning off guard shooting wide open jump shot I think. You're EE ticket guy who's been in the league you know whatever it is thirteen years fourteen years. And it worked on his game and understand how to play of the game -- he's going to make -- jumps -- so I think you just have to do a much better job closing out of him no matter who is guard him."

[5:34]" You know there -- a bit of a quandary the Celtics because on one hand I think Kendrick Perkins matchup really well against the Pistons and he has some good rebounding numbers. And to some foul trouble last night but he was oh. Doing pretty good job so that's that's a positive. On the other hand. I would think that Leon -- perfect matchup for McDyess. But do do you take out Perkins and so -- his strengths and put in that and hope for that matchup."

[6:02]" And I don't really think that. You know I don't think you lose a lot when you pulling -- Poland yet Perkins their you know he's they're they're strong man he's their -- if you will but. What time. If if someone could pull perk decides they listen you hurt you from. This is obviously. You're more valuable to a on the floor and then on the parents I mean at Milwaukee really understand that like -- he. He makes these silly wild offensively and the other don't mind. You know sometimes setting the screen that you a lot of note that this is greater 1516 feet from the basket. Those cynical treats because you know you want your guard to Wake Forest -- get there inlet and Kamal but sometimes you know that the product of the guard not winning this green to --"

[6:46]" in a lot of situations over the back on the on offensive rebounds you know without -- infinitely I don't really mind that much but. You know he's got to understand -- the big medium -- that floor at any time he. Two quick wells in early in the first quarter. You mentioned the continuity of the offense you mess -- the kind of get your peace since. You know the confidence now that the team has and you give confidence to the Pistons because basically okay they have they're they're big boys out now yes we know PJ brown. How does a good players outwardly not a strong -- of Perkins you know he's not one of those you know rock rock guy that can keep that intensity look at -- expert -- that. Realized I hope he does. In that he is so valuable to this team -- himself and about it really hurts this team in more ways than one and you know what that being said I think you give -- shot -- You know we played bigger than Glen Davis even though I know. In Oakland David -- area at that intensity you know get that energy that you hoped that that can accuse the rest of the team. But we don't well I mean you know he's got -- you it would come in in game."

[7:50]" Fighting you wouldn't you expect him to play great even though he hasn't really played a try to minutes or played any minutes really. In this series so I don't think you really lose a company -- calling yeah you lose some you know some shouldn't jump shooting range from. From -- you know. Pierre brown what does the rest of the team -- going to shoot jump shots so he he is that an extra force down low that I don't think you lose -- you bring him in it and can to prevent those that stretched."

[8:15]" Conventional wisdom is that one of the great shooters in NBA history will eventually find a shot and yet. How much longer do you go before you think you know what maybe he's not going to find his shot right now and Ray Allen you talked about you know. Bring in -- and perhaps in taking some minutes away from Kendrick Perkins. I'm not sure who the answer is when ray Allen's not in there but I I can't help but think that James Posey might be a legitimate. He had a great game to go yet they lost."

[8:43]" You know he found it and then I left him I don't you know it's. It's hard to. It's hard to have -- answer is probably more confusing for Doc Rivers and as much as you know everyone says -- on the team says the -- especially that it you know not a."

[8:59]" About one guy you know we're not worried about Reggie nickel and we're trying to focus on giving him more shot to try to get him. Go and that's about the team you know he -- shaky. At that rate I think radius is wildcats with a at an okay game these games are are easily won I don't. Put all the personal right because of things that happened you know taking care of the ball. You know you can't have twelve twelve assists and teacher has 27 assists -- those things can't happen so I mean. With Ray Allen. If he's shooting the ball well you'll -- we know that but the pressure that's put on the outcome -- the best to really step up and score like James all the likes him sell like. Anyhow I mean they're so much pressure put on them to go ahead and do something great offensively when Ray Allen struggles so -- you know looks to me it's just a matter of it is you know be on the Dixie clamps you to bring -- up playing well you know you maybe put James goes in and do whatever you can't at this point to to keep their. Keep the -- move and try to get yourself you know another win at home and try to -- to the finals but it'll. Any -- you know. It's weird thing in and people they have you know after me well."

[10:09]" We're like -- they ask me. They don't like I'm on the staff like why don't allow you guys play he helps when you can't do what you think it. Did to get demoted why don't cheat you don't hear -- people don't understand mean it's it's album matches but I think Sampras so helps Eddie House legal then -- sixteen minutes. And it is -- the goose egg in it. Not you know not a ton of assists. And and you know couple turnovers that the key helps it helps helps any else caused they'll play in the next game when he does that so video played game by these their self. Important can -- or."

[10:43]" But Donny I understand that but a critic it say. Why does it take -- who say from -- itself to convince the coaching staff that Eddie -- should be in there I mean I'm public address and to sell. And I thought he would be a good fit early in the series just because Detroit was pressuring the basketball pressure point guard and Eddie House really struggle with that let. I mean --"

[11:06]" You know that you're not -- Michael this team so they're good enough to have any helped bring the ball across half court there were times in in. To a game three could I don't know game and the game one -- and whatever else he got the minutes -- one so excited. And they were running it up and him but he would -- in the ball alive and finding guys. Having this game is good enough to help any help bring that ball. Across half court they get their offense started they army Paul Pierce can bring it up but I know they don't walk -- bringing them all they want -- down on the -- to that blocked. Sometimes and want all your -- that ball up. He's more involved in the gaining more ball handling that basketball in and that time. He may have been a force five turnovers on the night but he will have seven or eight assists seats I got -- cheap -- involved that was so you know I don't. Like that people they -- just can't handle that pressure because I think he can't I think he is teammates -- to help them that. Pressured their ball pressure coming out but the Detroit Pistons certainly you know that they're not going to pressure full court all night long -- They're they're still -- and it's just about -- so those guys are going to be ready jumping you Richard Hamilton everything he exerts piece instantly. If he's pressuring the ball up top. We've seen in the games he struggled that if he loses something offensively subtle things that."

[12:26]" A bad thing Eddie House you know in every ball what you just you know I I just think when you have sent comfortably not he can't find I think curveball over. And then he certainly can't guard Chauncey Billups you know it in the not that any help into the -- but it just seems like they're more mystery defensively and Eddie -- episode."

[12:46]" And Donna I love coaches I love. The passion in the thought and energy that they put into their job but I do think at times you can't overcoat. I'm thinking back to the Cleveland series and it was a different match up by different series altogether but. That series changed late in games six and all of game seven when Paul Pierce. Was handling the ball kind of like quite a point forward completes the same thing here in game five."

[13:14]" Well it's interesting they don't jump in like Cleveland didn't have that respect of all there's all ambling in in a couple. Those games -- jumping him -- really really. Trapping him out at court he wasn't. You know just over half court he wasn't that that. That confident with the ball he wasn't -- record with the ball came back next game he was great I -- he was attacking. You know Paul Pierce -- he can play that that point forward position and you know it's interesting how. CB guy EC coach Doc Rivers and when they'd lose a lot of people like Ali you know adopt. In the laying over coach in the oh my you know guys most smart my. Buddies are still in the they've called me and text message -- talks over coach Mike met. We're when he got in my twenties and that figured you guys call because he says dark overcoat his way to a twenty point win give it you know it just it Perez -- That when things don't gold you know on the scoreboard they don't go the right -- For the point a finger at Dakota I think it's important for -- remember weird -- Where he had this team playing right now what he's done during the regular season than -- coaches are going to make that call that -- just like players are going to make bad plays. You know I think. At this point. You know the beside the substitution it's really up to the players. Really effort and what are going to bring that night. Series in my mind whoever comes out energy to start and that that he usually -- who wins it in an all four games. In each teams wins the energy to team that comes out with the energy just seems like they have the edge early in the in the in the game."

[14:49]" All right -- E mailer writes the question but I got a -- tail -- dale and Holley rights bill. Donny Marshall is now cried about Mike patella it was a coach on your -- and mentioned it again during the post game coverage last night. You guys ask him to finally once and for all explain why keep bringing it up he mentions that like an eighth grade school girl talking about an ex boyfriend. Please ask him what his beat news even Tommy looked at him in disbelief last night."

[15:15]" Well Delgado I'm not -- courtesy of they've built -- out that I live in order to have -- understand I'm not crying about my bills I don't think you -- to -- have been nice being back out so it -- is just like -- cello as a guy who was very he treat you may think very personal you talk about your family members. He would talk about you being eight which gets -- there is on the phone. You know you'd get in demand to -- conversation with him in the locker room and if he felt he couldn't win that battle he would tell you one more word I'm finding new 2000 dollars. A continual remarking to -- 3004000. So it was a guy who was he wasn't really it was a great -- and -- coach used the best coach and I -- as far as Xs and old -- EQ coach anybody on the under the table. That that's not the part that you know up that I complain about that yet you know he's awesome but the personal stuff where eat the -- but he got and -- extort we had a one that this is this meeting that we had a situation where he and Wayne Embry lose one of the all time greats. Players general managers think -- guys you know they had a conversation about how we were going to play what our system our style and it got to being Cleveland. It and and they agreed that both said okay we're going to try to -- of the smallest team in the NBA that Danny K it was our -- it was like 610. You don't any series not a guy who who. Bronze but either guy could trail and spot up and make shots for you on the break. So they agreed to that we had a team meeting everything -- microscope goes to court and gondolas are all wrapped up and said. -- and I can't wait thinks we should run I'd disagree I think that we should be half court slowed up seeing because that's what Gordon got one. You talk about the epitome it brought a guy under the bus an -- great guy. Under the bus that that that's the purpose that you talk about when you talk about Mexico -- say they don't really care for. That's what you call I guess missionary was called bush league and that's the kind of got my patella was too -- and too good to. To management when he was there that's what you see I didn't. Clearly not a job players don't really. You know say Omar favor -- really great guy mark tillage because. When you go you burned bridges like that guys that on the personal side thinks he broke out under the bus -- professionally like that in the -- a lot of guys out but. You don't look so I guess that -- extra note I've ever played for he would call play that play it would happen we would we run that that would mean -- offensively two years general -- first musically we're the best. If they're fifteen or cold again to 88 -- against a coach excited is now -- talk about it's it's it's yeah step you know especially you do something to dialect. Like when it like that puts a lot of lot lot of bad -- like at --"

[17:56]" He -- build email -- thought. He was it -- take the high road he didn't know what he was bargain for what."

[18:04]" I'll -- you can't tell you start out population have been like at center but you know delegate -- July you know I had. You know I'm war I am so I can't say I don't hate guys just like and I always I was prompted by saying you know. It was a guy that what you look in my favor coach. But heat but you know it is to but I still never questioned -- that he did on the floor because you can't because he would agree that you know that."

[18:27]" You know what got you think about it -- their coaching trees in football you think about the coaching tree in basketball the way you described Mike for -- Makes cents to think about the the coaching tree comes from. Is descended from Hugh B brown QB brown Mike for hello Ritchie out of bottle Ron Rothstein and Rick pitino. All the same kind of guys really really great X and no guys. As far as having a lot of sympathy for players are having like great close relationships with players not so much."

[19:01]" Right exactly so I'm I'm I'm open ended their bet the Miller Billick out of for -- but he might proceed. These -- out of here."

[19:11]" Robert I don't know yeah. I got that through the whole boys in the house thing in our faith and."

[19:17]" I hadn't thought about it so what'd they don't like -- guys you know I mean he just would not agree I definitely agree coats I don't."

[19:24]" the midst XP -- watery. -- never -- yeah I. Outline always not always good to -- it looked like the like anybody did what I got my number ROL flag. I have is that Donny Marshall from Comcast joining us"
