2008 01 04 Celtics - Grizzlies Postgame: Doc Rivers

[0:04]" Well it was a win didn't play particularly where -- Probably arm worse for focus. Of the year and for whatever is from those could be because tomorrow's game but we won the day and that's the good part of a -- it was it was not being -- huge. 42 points sixteen rebounds in just amazing arm. And there -- scrutinized and Maria are back quarters two for eighteen in nine turnovers are backcourt and Phnom and tonight one and slide so Tony really picked him up and and predictable and that was nice. -- you know though we're -- and well obviously when he's on the floors particular trying to get as many shots as it did because he makes most of but we're also joining in the slow down at times when when he's starting to initiate the office is great when he's. You know gets to -- movement part. But he goes a little too fast at times but you're conceived and comfortable in those where shots are coming from now and and and we know where to give him shots and so that's good. That's good they've looked. Oh much better legislative more confidence. You know murdered these. Five spot was to move around -- You know with Scott and baby in the in the and those scales and that bit and rotations and scales and helpless at some point this year as well I knew that so you know that's the only. There weren't that great continuity in that little. Department players you know and that the other guy's pretty much to say minutes way to say -- I was really -- this is -- play well the person that I thought he'd he'd let some missed calls it tomb in the second half. You know thirtieth on the two drives if you did or did it didn't matter they call it. And you still got to the game doesn't stop you know in the and they got two threes on that that's one of our. You know if we haven't -- on our team that might be number one where he's been in times you know screw around to -- when the games so that is some problems members have with that part of and so this morning music so he should do that a lot. Well again we're thinking --"

[2:46]" maybe for a us I don't think it was for Detroit you know the point being is obviously. True it was fun and they played here in the last time and they'll be hard and we played here tomorrow will be firm up which is nice that was good to get those type games but just looking at their box score. Hey they won pretty do you know. They don't get too excited. And so. You know they've been through everything in color and miss them you know shown some reason we're negative amid -- you know they've been through game sevens when they've won game -- when they lost. You know Eastern Conference finals and so even though they'll be fired up tomorrow they pitch in them do their job and they before. And have that focus and because it they'll get excited at the right time so that's an advantage they have over us studio. Then maybe we did I don't know we looked tired in some ways to me to but. Yeah you might be right then tomorrow's game that we might have been looking forward to I don't know."

[3:56]" Whoa I don't know that is important vigilant. I don't know is this is due tomorrow. You know but yeah I mean Cologne eventually have to but you know let me just put this way. If we don't tomorrow -- excellent -- division in the -- felt that right now. You know -- and so you're just going to keep working on just keep getting better. Has that team which as you know I don't care about rikers that's the team in Cleveland because they are there last year that in the undermines that which case they're still ahead of us -- you know. You'd want to give us. You know because of our record that they can give it to -- that ticket. You don't say we really believe we we believe it we have to improve to jets Detroit Cleveland we can that be more. Oh yeah I do that every night and you know but I was trying to -- given as you concede Armas was sudden -- score instruments tonight though we had -- importantly. You know we missed some level whatever we can again thirteen and that probably would have been an income for the night. We miss that come you're required back -- and get rid of the ball and and that what I want to do. But dilatory they dated a lot of minutes so complete third -- Replica that was great to guard decided deported him to put him in early -- and use him. As a point star when he did you know that week gets the ball in his hands and opposite to search for ways to get him go. And his confidence and it seems like when he gets the ball in his hands he he feels more aggressive to him when he's funnel the ball early gotta go you know. You know we both know we know the game plan in the right when it was out well you know tall tone the -- clearly. We wanted to go down -- many times we could you know and steal enough those -- I was thinking when the run in transition to the and we got away from the Logan's that project and shots of from the outside and that's on this and restore Roberto it was important day for race in a lot of ways because. You know regardless number whole bunch it was a game that I was I was determined that. There was going to be one down low you know what's in the she might know. And that's -- play and that's what they do and so we wanted to change the game tomorrow fiscal fourth. Thanks guys"
