[0:00]" tonight. We your record after the game for era the year sports talk conversations and of course 71 Celtics. Things but they're right on pace maybe. I mean I've missed St. read -- pretty darn good predictor of things. Padres -- who's next. I was I was definitely waste it would mean that picture so. Is that you admit count the ones that would you know was -- doing until we -- wasted are are used they -- it well -- good with the Celtics last year. Yeah secretive and autumn going to be given this year you'd doubters and naysayers don't predicament seventy yeah I set the bar -- you know St. -- in my he says it's time ice I look for the for the optimum performance. Every single year. -- again. And I eat your average. Guys anyways to me is -- out of the question I'd like to -- anybody out -- like devil debate pot. It is you know to me. And here's my logic okay I don't I don't use -- just throw these numbers out there without thinking about not spending time -- deep analysis the of course they're really lucky I'm on first national broadcast journalist. You're -- mock drafts don't screw around."

[1:18]" I you know just throwing things out there I duel little research. I and here's where here's what I've come up with okay. Yes indeed it they did just great last year and we all know how well they did of running up 66 wins we or -- a wonderful season and all that. But I think that they can be better this year and here's what I'm -- in a basing -- The fact that they have to -- you're very young players who last year were huge contributors. To the cause. Okay."

[1:49]" Giles Sally. They and it members John grant Beckett turn of phrase like that. But I'm not showing -- I is sort of my sideburns are. I'm not sure -- Sean -- The red -- we'll go home blew up at thanks for the great there. His seat night does that stuff just comes not a him he's he can do that like he had lived say it's a write that stuff and you want to talk about making chicken salad. As a matter fact I heard it Sean -- does even write the pregame show he doesn't write it down he just -- lives the whole thing. Well that's unbelievable skill that's impressive. -- any event don't don't you think this is all but please let me put a little caveat on this it's all barring."

[2:33]" Injury and wanted to major sighs okay but the seventy win prediction of mine. Asked to do is absurd but it's not absurd why is absurd. Kissed his way and it's just going to be difficult seven after while considered at the Bulls -- Michael Jordan. Is that are currently great team and I think they can win sixty games but I just think course record sixty they -- 66 last year yep well. I mean I think that there's going to be some players that aren't going to be playing as many minutes the next to treat every game like it's you know the NBA championship like they did inserts in certain situations last year. I think there's some some different stuff and I still think -- you think they're going to lay back a little bit going to it would all bad race I just think it's going to be enacted the east has improved this season. Okay fine so maybe all the things you're saying -- true but is it not true. That the the 22 main cogs in the wheel that are not part of the Big Three. Are going to be better this year or show some improvement. Lol what -- having played together with this team for a whole year. Rondo having been a full time point guard for all year coach think he stands to get better doctor he can make more free throws it some more short jumpers take the ball to the -- I you know this guy this guy's a great athlete and -- very gifted right. And I think with his emergence and would Perkins kind of learn and what he's doing. Even more so than he did to be 82 games last year and Ortiz looked good so far and I started this is why this team could win seventy games I worry about Rondo is health more than almost any the other. Starters because teams and waited slightly to say considering his age did you see. I'll party plays he's already and it tweaked his back early in the season yet a couple of different issues last year so. That is one concern I'm not concerned about -- obviously you have to have a little bit in the vacuum my remote -- injuries could throw a monkey wrench into this. Prediction but I'm saying if everybody's healthy. I don't see why they can't win four more games than they won last year and instead of losing sixteen it was."

[4:34]" While that's all obscene but everybody talked to now talk to Tobago two noses basket. And I you know let's face. And it Rossi and all my estimate is too -- It is. You -- listen -- if you -- I will you know well Bob Downey and Xavier majority. You better okay when all is said that -- this year back are you guys that it he should kiss my black if they win seventy games. Ottawa that but. Yeah is it -- you know it's a metaphor. Our telephone number 617 sevens -- are ridiculous grams of phone calls in before 7 o'clock in the pregame show. As Atlanta Americans in regard tonight. And the the Celtics will -- ago. 281."

[5:21]" October numbers 6177750. Toll free it's 888525850. The Brewers are in Chicago tonight -- 833. They got nineteen points. Savard had sixteen points including six goals and houses Sturm count still holding it nine. Nine points on the Sturm -- As we mentioned the Hawks covenant. Week let's see how they -- averaging eighteen point eight game. Ray Allen fifteen and I have KG fifteen point four but with a ten rebounds added onto it. And Jew who judge suited. British tour it's reported a league no way four via the bodies still undefeated. Yes they defeated -- so by your logic -- on pace to go eighty to annul the Hawks this year while they're on pace yeah but date you know I'm not I'm not buying into that. Not buy into that -- crap. Not for Nolan that's why it's absurd they're not to -- 82 and -- on pace Julia you know these Olympics are on pace to go as an 82 would be pretty much perfect. And I. Boring Joe Madden has won the American League manager of the year -- got to get him on the show yeah going to show I -- silent on the baseball yeah. -- he's really really born. Red Sox supported an inquiry about Derek Lowe. It's the loop and LOR yes open Allen the National League. Manager of the year. I would -- we got here but he GS the inquiry about Lowe had seized 35 -- always ask your previous season last year but. Red Sox wouldn't pay him nine million dollars a year that's when he departed back in 4. -- so marte three years twelve million deal. With the Yankees. Dylan Hernandez -- times has details on the Dodgers initial offer to Manny. Which by the way expires tomorrow. I'm Manny would earned fifteen million in 9. A 22 and a half million in 2810. And 22 and a half million option for a let -- 31. With a seven and a half million dollar buy yet so I don't think that's for. That's 45 million dollars guaranteed over two years at a course that will not cut it for Scott Boras or many many still Torre can we play that. Jerry -- as nick of ESPN and has an article looking at Ben Sheets. Who was three point 9 in 31 starts before -- an elbow injury shutting him down this past year. Crass and it suggests the Cubs Mets Yankees and Orioles. As other possible suitors aside from the Astros because. Ben Sheets lives in Dallas. And go grocery editor news hot stove news worth mentioning probably not. Although. The the Chris Iannetta story. Let's see here of the rookies. Torrealba is a guided that I guess is available -- Yorvit Yorvit -- your yard beat. Yorvit the be the first. He's the all time leading player in Major League history at home runs after player's name your feet and the only. Correct. Boston could be pursuing him because there's there's still in this mix of penalties Varitek -- any event will go to the phones we'll talk about -- you want to basketball baseball. Football. Hockey we don't care Jim in the -- go ahead Jim."

[8:55]" Mikey Mikey Mike I don't that I I'm pretty fine thank you you'd think seventy wins from me you know lineup. I think you be you know little realistic 78 a lot in Natalie had done at -- Exactly I think both you know is Garnett going to put his -- put up the gap a little bit. I mean a theory you know anybody's -- just cannot relax a little -- and being -- he's been emotional."

[9:19]" You talk about the minutes played and John writer mentioned that these people going to play fewer minutes this year than last year but I think that's going to happening games they're way ahead or way behind. And I don't think that's going to affect the won loss record -- in games that are close you'll see guys playing. You know reasonable amount of minutes and -- the other part of that is I think the bench players. Have been it'd be concentrating on clearly defining their roles and try to maximize their impact in their individual roles and as I said improvement from the two young guys."

[9:47]" I -- Garnett authority I don't know five maybe mid atop the league last year -- his speed average in his career. So if it that's no surprise people -- even older."

[9:57]" More -- on the deadly cities can do that. Exactly and he -- that you want but you know get a where they -- what does that mean though does that mean they're not going to have to win every game are I don't know look at that he thought doesn't understand."

[10:09]" I need to win every game more okay that they you know it is a marathon last year they were there were trying to prove a point trying to send a message back up. This year it's like okay we we've already done that well did win a --"

[10:20]" Today but let me just put a scenario on -- let's say that the they want to make sure they have home court advantage right. Because they know better than any other franchise in the NBA right now having lived it last year. In your way and home court advantage can make all the difference in the world for a for a team."

[10:36]" Absolutely you know actually right about that sort of depicted different his home court advantage or -- pretty rested team going into the playoffs. I don't know I think -- republic not a pretty rested Pete does especially you know everybody -- older."

[10:49]" Okay sure they clinch it in order to clinch early in order to give those players arrestor talk about a -- talk about you know. Again you -- and a three point game -- which team you play in these guys are going to come back in the game unless they're hurt."

[11:02]" Yeah court but that it didn't it's it's going to -- two -- in the -- you know maybe -- kind of you know okay so you're saying they can't do seven. I'm Shane a highly unlikely okay let me -- striving -- here -- got."

[11:18]" Yeah like -- you know -- the optimistic side of things but I don't -- it's unrealistic either based on the the aforementioned facts that I -- that they won 66 last year. And and as if you think there was down. You know how by how many games."

[11:33]" I don't know that's the question I mean this but what -- down the stretch what -- that look like. Well aware of it little big baby -- be a big part of the game is Rondo going to be -- stay healthy. You know who could you 13 going to get injured. Along the -- excellent outta ten game that the -- it is a matter of who everyone --"

[11:52]" And how much I heard some days -- did exactly what is I."

[11:55]" Did it'd it'd it's reality any -- of the pistol he goes out -- lose 20/20 game the better for the population who's just been. You know popular track I."

[12:04]" reserve the right to amend my prediction based on the severity and the frequency of injury how's that. Otherwise unstick wood seven lead twelve baby while Kevin Garnett miss that -- at times last year and they still won six."

[12:17]" Mesa -- Gimenez and -- to look it up but I mean that's another thing to thank you for you make in -- point. I mean does -- enemy you have but. To a man years statement I mean how many games to they have to miss in order to so uniting I would have to think about who's on the schedule when they do missed some too you know when it when you. You know Garnett misses a game it's against. And local Seattle or somebody over -- right that it is happy and Seattle anymore as that's how bad they were. Yeah then then that's a little bit different but my point being generally speaking on -- stay -- and to -- generalities here on this prediction by. Now if they stay healthy. Throughout the year without extended or severe injuries then I think they're going to win -- equipment until they lose a twelfth thirteenth mics and a car are hello Mike."

[13:06]" MITI thought we have to like. I don't know how much they these guys -- and let."

[13:13]" Yeah barring injury recourse would be unfair to hold me to a prediction of Paul Pierce goes down for forty games started --"

[13:20]" No doubt I I think -- company and I think there's one reason why they can't even revenue unit it's KG. I mean that this guy's intensity is amazing and it's contagious."

[13:30]" And how about the affected -- came back in such tremendous shape this year. It's almost like he you know he he he was James should -- wants another one real bad you can tell cancer."

[13:41]" Yeah I didn't and yeah about KG at practice and in the guide is. -- not let this team let out."

[13:47]" It's greats that's -- wage should be and I think that you know of this this year look for. The reasonable amount of development."

[13:55]" From Kendrick Perkins looks Rondo to score more. I don't think he's scored nearly enough last year he was kind of -- in the -- little bit but -- she's not score and he would present an idea eleven assists."

[14:06]" It it's just ain't gonna get better agree idiot and I think they you've got to my friend Mike thank you let's go to Tyler in Rhode Island now all our -- I -- Argument."

[14:19]" It back Ahmad calm about the celtics' only when he's not. Barring no injuries and in that first -- important part of it I don't I don't I don't see. I don't see what -- Glen Davis parked in our our lawn care department article on Leon Polk in our backups in. We got a mixed mode -- create you know I don't view -- or or."

[14:41]" Well you know last year they had PGA come along and help them out I I don't think it's always a big factor. Although at the end of the year their talk about veteran point guard presence making all the difference on this team and in the end it wasn't really his presence that made the difference. On the playoffs not the playoffs right well you know even they will add another player I mean that -- yes there will be somebody coming along and I think you'll have a."

[15:04]" Who's out there have been McDyess probably is I would love my love but how realistic -- you know. People -- that they didn't want to -- taking -- look at I mean -- I don't know that's not probably true."

[15:16]" Now they're saying about seventeen though but amid a Lotta Lotta reports if you read greeted stewardesses indicates that he's going to go back to Detroit. They're -- superiors."

[15:27]" I don't have to see some too many holes in the team to two or Halsey CN. -- mean like us that Eric EW York -- who is playing great right now if -- your whole last year. Well -- mean it didn't matter."

[15:41]" investment forum what's different from last year to this year that you tee time holes to shall -- self than it is different this year aside from Posey now okay. We all know about him. That it's going to make it more difficult."

[15:54]" I just think that with with with the Atlantic division get stronger and with our our you know our losses -- big guys and -- Equipment and -- guys. Pollard is you know played you know."

[16:07]" He's not -- mean what -- he -- what should be hardly was hurt for most of the year."

[16:11]" I guess but my real my real point -- we need -- back up. On Perkins band and Garnett not in the middle."

[16:17]" Well I think dead. Somebody get annoyed about -- playoffs in the regular season you get away with a little more in the regular season and the -- who knows PJ brown might be back with his team in overnight."

[16:26]" Yeah I thought that last caller made a good point about how are you know what we do what we do get a big lead. On the Atlantic division -- we don't need those ones are -- the other -- and."

[16:36]" Well are you -- on both sides about the -- and all the Big East is better but that but then what do we have a big the big -- we don't need to -- the and so we can't -- every there I don't you know I I don't think that makes any sense."

[16:48]" I mean I'll figured out because I mean it is important to get better especially in outlook to Garnett but it is going to get. -- you know not old and realized the circle and am very. Get narrowly that the."

[16:59]" Only other thing you gotta think about too was much shorter offseason for. I mean and last year so -- that factors in a little bit I think and I don't hurt yourself your peers seem to come back pretty strong yeah right he's had a great offseason but I'm just saying it was a much shorter off season and for all those guys you tell about. Bunch of guys that had tons arrest because -- none of mortality savoring the Lakers are. Yeah but we're under 71 prediction yet -- but an asset of this that's with Celtics teams always had -- in the years past he wanted to be -- the first time they've had to deal with that. That's okay really probably like. I would say they probably like it better -- parade through June 15 of nineteen of course because in the end result but I'm saying as Spurs going into years seven he win deal here. You know it's less rest in the off season."

[17:44]" You but he just seems that now mean I can't believe it wears on the wears out. Positive power positive thinking. Out will take a quick break for flash with the aforementioned John -- and don't let it time for -- which can repeat -- What we'll do just that quick break like commercial he told Jewish school -- world they need these commercials and the revenue Berrian to -- my huge three year point three million dollar salary animal out for. Listening to play she won in -- Mike Adams."

[18:17]" Yeah yeah. I'm good. You also jokes that -- is that WEEI Sports Radio network caught."

[18:48]" CF yeah. And and and being about a week we've known since. Trying to -- and we just got through -- the job of stories and -- the chance to really circled this game on the -- absolutely just. We just have to be learned from."

[19:15]" Eyes were around back for two more minutes there's enough Celtics basketball after which we'll -- in order here. In the studio for some much more -- the game and John Ryder. I would take into the night with celtics' reward Jones and Boston -- your next."

[19:30]" Hello and -- I like I'm -- want to jump but I bought that any laws but definitely believe that they can't lose. Are -- beyond that I want to bode well but I. Oh okay. Good to have you on -- I have thanks out -- is that downside of all I'm not probably make that there -- many tech which happens. Is there. Is the other day for example twenty or what water. Can't win the game like it's. First the -- you gotta happen yeah. Obviously you know he will. Get better this year than in the -- yeah. Or right in well. While ability to neutralize or or that they utilized but I think of who. Find -- better. If that's what -- warm up it's just went word to involve football and and so those sort of things are but I think he would. You have to jump women that I gained but -- scored 22 point the world Cordero we can be certain yup it is even that we wouldn't win."

[20:38]" Well sure the optimum situations to have every all the cylinders firing. At all times economy knights were one guys up the other guys down one guy's a little banged up. Or righteous guy and guys not in shooting handing happened you know that that's going to happen during the course of a full season. Certainly over 82 games you're going to have guys that -- in and out of the -- who's -- hand. But I think largely this team knows exactly how to make it work all together they did during the playoffs last year. And I thought it was nice OC peers step up and a team again they were down sixteen at one point. And I can't believe that came back yesterday and -- just wrong I was a big as the great leadership performance -- back to back games like that up."

[21:20]" any laws and I is that you know there. That's good and bad and the that this -- when you look at it is what it is not a lot of -- 174. Games."

[21:29]" No right I think that's only three what led the Bulls did it twice was it. Yeah seventy joined us and they had one year right."

[21:37]" Right now and that is that it is it's it's yup it is and 72 -- out correct. But I picked picked it right now what we're gonna happen. Or would that even as you know put into the playoffs you know thinking ahead. But they have been -- by to make. It's factored but. The old fact right now. They'll have that it did happen on slow once that it ought to be able to bring that same intensity and and and and and in -- TPC experience before. To support though he has been over the net and now. And I've been there in all. Seventeen to seven then you don't play yelled as a whole different ball game and I find that on -- one."

[22:22]" You know what you're going to miss Posey more during the playoffs and the regular season -- a regular season he averaged about six points in amidst all the other intangibles that he brings especially during the playoffs as the defender off the bench -- there's no question his loss was the biggest loss of the year but again I I maintain and other other improvements in other people step up would make different set. HL have a great night. Dignity don't look at the of a top ten teams NBA history now this is -- of course this is chronologically. NC. They get the 606465. Celtics with Bill Russell Sam Jones have a check points and who were 62 and eighteen. Now and again eighty games a few couple -- game. 6667. The sixers -- wilt Chamberlain Hal Greer Billy Cunningham 68 and thirteen. That the 1970 New York Knicks. With a sixty and 22 record this every once every two Lakers 69 wins. 8283 sixers we're at 65 victories the 85 B six -- they won 67. It's just one more than last year's sees. 8687. Lakers with 65 wins the 8889 Pistons. Talking about that overall win -- but the 9596. Bulls. That's -- that's the mark rate -- 72 hole and ten. The course they had Superman Batman and Dennis Rodman. George McCarty on Sports Radio -- George."

[23:56]" I'm excited or at least Georgia bus driver angle I was still leisurely -- already spoken to -- we are we talking about. You know I sort of -- several of -- little Irish."
