happens to be our hoops expert which is good for the stock and lots of celtics to buy that's a that's really the sun a lot of expertise here but i am happy that how he's back next to me because the last time i was here i was very worried because i think was the first time i'd ever been on the show and how he was yea of the local radio and on the internet but also you are a celtics season ticket holder you you picked up the mantle i know how he dropped his a few years back so now now we've got you had a past that it looks to the younger crowd how he's got enough to let me use this take every now and then a very long time ago and then you go you know that's where you got the bug right i had the bug way before the new law and you know i finally was able to convince my wife to dabble there a little bit so yeah i mean changing that so that's a good point but i got to see a lot of basketball and i'm going to get to see more next year and then we'll see what happens after extend our congratulations to you and tiffany you know she's expect you and your wife are get back to later this year so congrats to that they are very much are going to announce perfectly we get to have the summer and then she's going to come in the beginning is grown again from such a sad tragic event that took place boy it's it's been sixteen years now june of two thousand and one when brendan had that freak accident on the baseball diamond and his family has you know rallied or turned that into what is a doubt incredible cause and next month course on father's day the annual low and there it is as you can see right there the sixteenth annual they started this year after brendan passing it is the five to a race and walk that takes place on the other belmont high school track coming up on the father's day and the b m c been doing this the last few years has been covering the race and it's been such a huge event and should not only mention that this is a really kind of a busy month stretch for the foundation which is one of the reasons we always tend to want to talk about at this time of year not only is there the of the father's day race walk but you also have the baseball tournament thirteenth annual belmont baseball tournament the brandon graham memorial baseball tournament at the field which is now named in his honor that'll be coming up friday and saturday memorial day weekend there's four teams involved belmont actually won the tournament last for the last few years and it's a wonderful events and we just we always kind of feel obliged to want to bring it up here it's really become a belmont community event now and i think that's just amazes me in sixteen years is yeah  a seem like it's been that long yeah i mean i was i was a teammate of brendan we played babe ruth together and i played football and baseball with him in high school and he was i consider him to be a friend of mine in he was a great athlete and obviously the tragic events of many years ago now it is hard to believe it was that long ago but he was a great athlete and it's amazing to see his you know him still being honored today through the fund raising the scholarship the race in the baseball tournament usually you know when tragic events like this happen fundraisers have but sorta they disappear and go away after a while but this thing is stronger and better than ever and the grand family is done a great job living on with  legacy i was just thinking the same thing you know a lot of these you know the all the emotion sets in the beginning and you know everything sounds like a great idea and it goes i would say you know four five six years but then it kind of like business office people lose interest and they just can't get the funding or whatever but i mean like i said that's why it doesn't seem like it's been sixteen years because it's still such a strong thing that they do well you're so right howie i mean and part of it too i mean it's become a year round of different various fund raising  events i mean work or kind of highlighting this time of year with between the baseball tournament in the big road race coming up on father's day which is kind of where it all started but now it's really become a year round endeavor where there's different events and different a lot of different sports tournaments going on your round with all the various belmont high school sports so it's just you know it's the expression i guess pay it forward and you know it's really it really has become such a community type of that now i mean when you think about belmont now you can't think about it without you know like to do this time of year and give them give them a shout out that they deserve again you can follow and get more information go to brandon grant dot org find out about all the various events and details but it's up as you can see here up actually there's that we were just about segue into that thank you julie land there you go she was reading my mind yes we're here to talk you know every word yeah yeah of course well yes eastern conference finals i know the guy on the right unfortunately has already been declared out for the rest of the series and  but you know here we are i mean first of all the fact that here we it's may twenty fourth the boston celtics are playing in the eastern conference finals against le bron james and the cleveland cavaliers was just you know i mean calling this i mean after they got past washington to is like the gravy series i mean this is no i mean i know maybe some folks back at the beginning of the year said this was sort of a goal you could set you know to reach for those heights but you know given you know everything i mean the celtics team it feels like they're ahead of schedule when you look at all the the young players i'm involved with this team and to have them now you know playing cleveland for the championship you know or for the right to to go to the n b a finals which is it's been it's been funny i know there was a little frustration of course i mean you know the surprise of winning i mean obviously the first two games were missing so badly and then going out to cleveland then i'm just shocking the world to win that third game and then you know having a big lead in game four but but watching that slip away i mean it's you know yes you can be upset as a sports fan a celtics fan but in the end it's hard to really be that down about it given you know just how far that the celtics of come in the brad stevens era i would like to say in early on that if they told you at the beginning of the year that to go the eastern conference finals are going to be happy with that you'd be like shoe off that's awesome we're going to go to these conference finals is a team that hadn't won a playoff series yet under this guy and now he's going they're going to go to a third to get a win two and go to the third one i mean of course you would have coming in you know the last two years in the playoffs first year and you go up against cleveland you get swept four games in and out last year against atlanta you probably should have beat them maybe some injuries got in the way you were able to extend it to six and you know you but people like people like let's get out of the first round the playoffs and they got to the playoffs this year first it was a little dicey against the bulls are like oh no here we go again another first round exit you're the number one seed you're about to go down to the eighth s but they're able to bounce back against the bulls and really dominate and they get into a round against washington where washington has the two better players between the two teams and the celtics so are able to pull together and pull that out pretty exciting seven game series including a double overtime win and you're like wow this is a made isn't the fought through the faced adversity the fought through it you know the state pretty healthy and now you get a chance to play against the defending champions for shot to go to the championship now your expectations aren't high but it's great exposure for the franchise and great experience for the young players on your team and i think the person that seven game series took a lot out of them that's why when they got beat up the way they did against cleveland first two games i think they left so much on the floor on that because i mean again they never got out of the for us round let alone to get to that point and play in a seven game series to win it i mean i think emotionally that just took so much on of them that i just think they were gassed at the start of the  cleveland cleveland and sit back like this for nine days well you know and the celtics right literally had one one zero up and i you know starting a new series if you look at the celtics basically their first two rounds almost went the distance the bulls won six washington won seven so you're basically playing every other day every two to three days for the last almost two months now where the cavs come in well four games all right we're going to go play a little golf hang out with our family and just relax and then same thing next round against toronto up we're going to take care of them i mean the building was you know rocking the whole time you know twenty minutes before they came out to warm up you know the place was you know later start times of the place is usually most games the building fills up late after to prop up the building was full fans are in it ready to go great atmosphere in the building but when you get to games like this it's the unexpected people that usually make the difference and in this game it was you know it was kelly olynyk the celtics came out got a pretty sizable early lead but washington with their experience you know bradley beal just had the mays he had a game similar to what kyrie irving did last night for the cavs where it didn't seem like beal was going to miss a shot and john wall got off to a hot start and got them back into the game so you know the gap close as we got into you know of the mid third quater you like this is the this is going to be a low a nerve wracking finish and you were isaiah thomas didn't have the best game that night so you're sort of sitting there thinking oh this is not going to end well of thomas isn't playing well washington's two guys are playing well the ingredients here are sort of pointing towards an l in the end of the season but then all of the sudden kelly olynyk who i may not be the biggest fan of in the world of the deal that has to come together for you to advance in this time in this and in that game seven the reason why washington didn't win was because they got zero contribution from their bench they i think they had like five points from their bench the whole game their starting five were amazing in the game but there was no rest so they faded towards the end and no one stepped up to make that extra play or two and you don't you don't always need your bench to go out and score twenty six points like did you need someone to come out knock down the three or get a big rebound and they didn't get that and they lost i believe the celtics out scored the wizards bench it was like forty five to five in that seventh game of course with the the big twenty six out of nowhere which was just incredible but you know so you know from from all that emotion and like you said howie i think you know that it was a grueling series against a team that they matched up very well with i mean you know two evenly matched teams you know celtics and wizards and it went back and forth right down to the very end of game seven so you know obviously the celtics didn't have a whole lot left when you know the kathleen came in for game one two nights later and let's not forget i mean these are the defending world champion cleveland cavaliers led by  james who come on let's be real he's the best player in the league right now and he's certainly you know probably one of the best of all time i see better than alonzo ball and i just want to know there are i don't know we haven't seen it a lot about you know i know a lot of players better th more in shock there but you know if you look at the first two games this might have been like in the fourth quarter when i had a resident a well known might have been in the second quarter with the resignation when they were already down fourteen points but resignation seven but if you look at those first two games the ca three best players on the floor to start by far hands down three best players there they are at their having a lot of james pretty easy to throw out there yeah and they're bigger and stronger than the celtics so they came out celtics you know grueling series just not ready to go and the cavs in that first game dance around them i thought in the second half of that game though the celtics did show some fight after they had the ball behind laser like game to game one of they've got some guard it was garbage time at the in the game won but the bench played well was able to get out like a twenty eight point lead down to third so that's right yeah you know so you're like oh ok maybe they found a few things here and in game two they'll be able to make some adjustments and play better well boy were we wrong with that because even just came out did the exact same game thing game two now largest halftime lead in n b a playoff history they were up seventy two to thirty want to halftime and that's when i sent you a text i just wanted to know if you were still there and your seat like you ha already left for the the local watering hole i mean i don't know that if there was ever a game you were going to leave if there was ever a playoff game you'd want to leave at halftime that might have been the one down down forty one you know we thought we thought about it but we stuck it out to about half the third if but if you look at it in those two games the celtics had wide open shots the whole game's clean was given the shots they just the celtics just couldn't knock anything down but the biggest thing was was defensively i mean the cavs just were on top of the celtics especially isaiah thomas  they really know how to defend isaiah thomas while they put the big bodies on a double team him get him to turn the ball over and just when there's nowhere for isaiah thomas to go he starts playing a little too fast he gets off the speed he starts throwing the ball away and once he starts doing that things just fall apart and they were able to do that in games one and the first half a game to win you know obviously injuries might a played a role there as well but they knocked him off his game and the celtics just weren't able to adjust to not having their big score involved and i think that hurt them a lot and there's been a lot of instances through the season when the celtics often says and working then defensively they take their head out of the game and they just get beat all over the place and that's happened a lot against very good teams all season long i guess i just don't is as good as he plays east just a five foot nine inch god is not going to lead them to the promised land i'm sorry he needs a lot  help right and it's not just the first round draft pick i mean get in a hole if it was a good addition they need someone else they got to sign somebody or trade for somebody because just like you said as soon as they sat clamping down have the star power of the deaf to guard him for a full forty eight minutes but against the cavs the what the warriors to appoint the warriors defense i don't know is as as good as cleveland but to a point and then maybe a team like the in in the series but let's face it i mean yes and i know there's just been so much happening with him this whole post season but you also have to admit i mean cleveland's brand of defense is at a much higher level than what washington or chicago can provide right  i mean that's you know and i think we saw that in there and it got to the point where literally they'd be down to the point where they knocked him out do you reactivated a hip injury that i guess he's had since march and you know to his credit hey you know given everything he's been  through that area is right getting busted up i know it's just i mean yeah he's just going through so much but he's he's a he's a very good player but he's not the guy that's going to win them their next n b a championship now going to be a pot of right he can be ade and do that but most of those other guys can't just kind of jump start their own their own office of game and that's why you know to the celtics credit going to cleveland for game three after of their doors blown off it two games at home you're going out there i mean let's all be realistic we were just figuring ok you know two two big losses in cleveland in its cavs warriors rubber match and everyone's waiting for going to be a finals you know the third ring of the trilogy or whatever but so but the point is i mean you know we all thought that but to the celtics credit i mean boy even without thomas they went out there and really you know put up an incredible fight and you know i mean you know with marcus smart hit some big shots obviously and then you know you know a little bit of  guys it's like she and i maybe i should well it will pass and they make one pass too many a lot of the a lot of those guys are not often spurs skies a lot of them are deep and spurs guys and if there's an open shot we'll take it but in game in game three what they did you know with without isaiah thomas on the floor they did have to hide him defensively because when you have on the floor you have to try to hide in defense we still are trying to please a liability someone like they are smith who just shoots threes and hope that they don't switch to him but the cavs done a good job making sense of plays and screen switch and all of a sudden you get all bron james and isaiah thomas and that's just not fair and going to end well at the end of the day so without as they are on the floor you're a lot more defensive you can play a good straight up defensive game on that end of the floor and then off pensively obviously i say as the guy in the n b a when you have your hero they get the ball thomas gets the ball james gets the ball michael jordan gets the ball larry bird gets the ball in those big situations but you take that they are all right they wanted they wanted but you play hero ball but in this situation the celtics have no one that can step up and play hero ball so they need to move the ball and get open shots and they got that in game three and for the first time in the series they were finally able to knock some shots down and that was really the difference but i mean also the cabs were due to come back to earth a while but i mean even though they play grading games one two in the for the first half of that game three the way they were shooting the ball in the shots that they were hitting the celtics had some hands in the faces and they were just knocking shots down from all over the floor so you but expect maybe a little bit of a cold night they got it they got it from the br james and they were able to execute on it they capitalized on yeah i mean what what a bizarre game i mean you know that in game three i mean lebron james over the final eighteen and a half minutes of the game he scores one point  for six from the field while the celtics in that same stretch were eleven of twenty most of us were down twenty one points in that third quarter which is exactly i mean you're down to zero you've been blown out twice you're down twenty one in the third quarter in their building and for them to so it was sort of like how chris kelly was the quad julien for the bruins but he was a guy that basically relegated unsolved to the end of the bench of the first round against the bulls and didn't even play against the wizards in the second round but they brought him in and he was somewhat effective in that game against cleveland they didn't have a bad game last night either but you know you you had some guys step in and step up when they needed that emery fence you were talking about two out they were able to run a slow  games against the celtics over the rising well you think of the early years with the bron when he used to kind of going against the you know the second big three there i mean those guys and yeah i mean yeah we had a lot tougher i mean now he's i mean it's just such a rare thing for me in like that now so you know you take the that even doubt probably what happened in game two but unfortunately for the celtics it was over the the half the two games they could pull it into two straight pool games like the cavs did game one in game two well the other worse aggregate so that is if you look at if you take away those gets into amazing incredibly your early foul trouble and for first half hours that's literally a first for him but you know we're going to get no more after that well the ones that really i don't know i'll tell you right now that was predictable ok getting forty miles that they moved the ball they got open shots they knocked them down they were able to build a lead and they played good defense they got le bron in foul trouble but that when he picked up his fourth ballot that was the turning point of the game you know the celtics at that point were up by i think thirteen thirteen and they extended it to six running right after that you know that's when they had their chance to really put the hammer down and finish them off for the night but then kyrie irving just won on a huge tear you know brought it got it back down to ten hit that three at the buzzer for halftime in the soon as he hit that shot i said this isn't going to end well and then he had another three at the buzzer at the end of the third reich kept while we picked up the slack someone to you know that's that's a big difference you know a player like isaiah thomas has a bad night or goes down and then all of a sudden you're like all right who's going to score for us tonight well we don't have a clue or a lot if le bron has a bad night you still have two players that can step in and put up big numbers and you know take over and that's they did the it exactly happened you know they took care of business and they're one game away from now going to the n b a finals and i thought in the second half of that game again we talked about the celtics being tired in game one and game four especially in the fourth quarter even though they had it was a i think liam was up by six with around four minutes left so that was still very you know a two possession game at that point you're it  you're close but you know they had a lot of shots that you know bradley was fret rimming in marcus smart couldn't hit anything of this life depended on it and jay crowder worse turning the ball over so you know they looked a little find a way i coming into the series i was like it would be amazing if they could get this to a game six and they have that opportunity they're due to play better at home tomorrow night they're due for a decent effort at home but does cleveland say the fans deserve it right you know that  know my biggest hope was when the players status that they would at least get out of the first round because they couldn't done it yet in the stevens era you know and they did that and i was happy that they when they won the second says just watch and it was nice right you know i didn't expect a lot in this one you know i mean there's no cinderella when there's no class slip up and you know when you get to this level talent is going to win right and it's going to show up all the teams that have less now and i've had maybe people coworkers at work or friends of mine who are maybe big basketball fans i watch a lot of n b a and you know they're talking to me they're like well do you think that after they won the game three they're like well do you think the celtics can win the series now in them like you know it's not the same is you know the in an n h l series or even a baseball series per se it's not a streak it's not a streak the sport like those type of sports are in the n f l where team can get hot in the playoffs you know it's not like that if you win with stars it's very it's very when when was the last time a team stepped up and won the n b a finals with not a lot of stars i mean you can you can really  years ago when they were they were still a pretty young team at the time when they stepped up and won it but probably not so you know you don't get that team that comes from an eight c you know like the it's not like a national predators and we're going to their first stanley cup and the ottawa senators who are going to play a game seven tomorrow night there are three seed so you could have an eight seed versus three seed in the stanley cup finals that doesn't happen unfortunately in the n b a which i think is something the n b a would like to maybe figure out a little more but you know you want to you want to see the progress we've got the progress there you've shown a good you've made a good impression on players who are going to be pending free agents the soft season you know guys are like or if i go to this team maybe i'm the guy question about it i mean the one thing you know that you take in that you get this is for all those freddie casual of celtics fans watching us i mean what you know outside of the thirty seven great minutes that they played across games three and four which i would argue might be some of the best minutes that the celtics team has played all season they are not of the same class as cavaliers they're just not right now there's nothing wrong with that they're getting there they're building up to it and a lot of that has to do with the head coach brad stevens what are your thoughts on that stevens what he's done through these playoffs i mean obviously the knock on him coming in to the this year's playoffs was you know he could win a series now they won two they've even been in the defending champs and again i think he's a great coach i think i think him and an age are on the same page they think alike they work well together i hope they sign this guy up for many years while they and you also met ownership they have just a solid base  that's true but brad stevens is a very he's a top ten and be a coach i mean you coaches when you win be a championships hard to say because you can put any coach on the cavs and they're going to compete for the don't know if they can win you a championship per se but not by themselves out of also mentally you still need to have the rest play right but it's just when the crowd at the coach is watching what's going to make those players play for him for that at that level or say you know i mean all those things well i mean that's coaching change in line up when he brought gerald green and just not yet in the chicago serial right and then he brought in a limit to start in the last couple games and cleveland brad stevens has been able to get a team with not the best talent in the league and make them a top competitor in the eastern conference now he's been able to take players that maybe aren't at that realm compared to other teams like washington or the cavs or you know the spurs and he's been able the mold those together and turn them into a winner definitely but he still needs a player to get into the park but he's a he's a great play callers mentioned he can manage lineups i think there are times where you know there have been some times through the playoffs where much he might be going to deep into his bench and not playing as top players enough that you know and there's been other times where like he's missed you know maybe he's mismanages time outs here and there where he could be better he's still a somewhat young n b a coach only one in general or the writer here so that's ok big learning in general he's you know the team doesn't have much controversy when there'd been times during the season where isaiah thomas might have spoken up or someone else has been able to nip it in the butt and move on and he gets these guys to play together play hard and you know there are very few nights where the teams effort is question now the first two games were maybe a little bit of you know questionable effort but for the often than not if he gets the effort out he gets the effort out of this team that maybe shouldn't be a number one seed or maybe shouldn't technically be in the eastern conference finals if he's able to get that next level out of his players too for what we've seen over his first four years you know the play is want to play far and that's a big day right why he's able to take decent to good talent in make it play to the point where they would be the number one of the incumbents the one thing i keep going back to i keep thinking about in my head is boy how do you think doc rivers feels you know he's here he has a great team with the the second big three wins a championship and then when things are ending he says i'm done i'm going to go to a team that can win and we're go championships he goes to the clippers they're always hurt they can't get out of the second round of the playoffs and the celtics in that time been able to all retool and go further than what's happened in the years sin was great in the time he was here we're been spoiled with our last coaches for the south this considering the carousel that we had in the ninety's and early two thousand but you know we've had two great coaches but i still keep thinking about that boy he he so have some kind of bad karma you know and that's sort of it's a good you know it's not as bad as it was when they were cleared a lot of the clipless right ultimately right even though they're not finishing in the lottery anymore every season they're still the clippers is something still batter or right i will say this you know watching the celtics play the cavaliers i can i can really start to appreciate more what fans in the one nine hundred if you were living in a city like milwaukee or you know anywhere other than boston philly or los angeles if you were if it was a single game maybe you never know could happen in one game but it best to seven no i always think and i always said of team is going to wink of the poor houston rockets you get to the n b a finals and you play the celtics twice in the eighty's you continue being a good team in the woods and you don't when you have you only win once michael jordan finally leaves the league you know so you know this it's amazing it's amazing how teams can dominate now do i wish there was a little more competition in my opinion in the n b a it would be a lot better if you got to the conference finals and you had four teams neither one of those four four teams could win it instead of instead of to me and i think that would be a little better place for the league but it is it is an interesting perspective to think smart because the yankees were doing that in the early two thousand they were trying to field super teams but that's not how the sport of baseball works you can still lose as involving just five guys on the court at a time for your you know a bruins fan that only watches because of the bruins and isn't going to pick up and watch nashville and auto or probably only because they don't know the name sidney crosby right that's it right but you know when you think about the game that's how but that's how they get sports get the majority of their viewers so no matter what happens in the n b a they're going to the n b a finals if it's cleveland golden state they're going to get what they want and they're going to get killer ratings it's going to be through the ceiling whereas the n h l has had a great competitive playoff where a  you you get all this happening but now you get a finals where maybe the interest wouldn't be as great as if you had some maybe more of your powerhouses and yeah you know it all balances out on the  we're going to get it right basketball let's talk about hey celtics season is probably going to end sometime this upcoming weekend at the latest it might end as early as tomorrow night which is a distinct possibility regardless when it ends it's going to be cleveland gold state battling for the  also be a part of celtics teams moving forward as is general manager danny ainge and obviously the other big news from the last couple weeks not only the celtics playing in the eastern conference finals but for the first time in lottery history they won the josh jackson jackson from kansas and jason tatum from duke will likely go one through four and some order in the upcoming draft again celtics have the number one pick everyone's talking about markel folds despite the fact washington husk only nine and twenty two this year in lone year playing for them but everyone's talking about this kid being a transcendent player and you can you know he's basically everything isaiah thomas is but the difference i'm on next year at some point if the celtics draft ones or ball i will give away all my tickets for next season because i want to have nothing to do with that i don't tell my wife don't tell my wife that though she'll be really right because she's the one we told th take him and go with it i wouldn't be surprised if danny ainge would want josh action in the air he's he's six eight i think he needs to put some weight on but he's a he's a bigger forward he's a bigger player needs you need a little more size on your team as well and that's something that the celtics definitely lack as well so if you think you could maybe trade that number one pick to philadelphia for example get that player and maybe find another way to bring a player to win you you know there are possibilities out there that would work for that as well well here's the thing and he figured well mchale is probably going to be there with the third pick so i'm going to trade the no one pick the golden state you take joe barry carroll feel like i'm that much apparently there was some intel out at the time readed had heard that gold state really want wonder why the celtics won three titles in the next six years i mean that's just yeah i mean that's but i don't know if d d can the scene that you bring up philadelphia at the number three and they have some big men which obviously the celtics need they need a big man they need a rebounder and i where you get or you get someone like magic johnson the jump think the celtics are taking ball and say i'll let me try to trade one spot with you for ball and you can take folds and we'll give you a throw in or something you know of danny could somehow play that magic i don't know i think possibility and the message that a lot of the ball is dead there's the possibility of trading for star that you could get now mike starr list is very minimal very minimal and i feel like you probably have a picture for me todd possibly maybe i don't know we have it all right no ok that's not the guy it's a picture of me going to be but the there are a small handful of guys that i would consider trading the pick for but it's really up but the only couple of players that i would trade for if the deal is right let's say they don't deal pick they do hang on to it then you're looking at free agents and it's course the name that keeps coming up over and over and over again because he played at butler university when brad stevens was the coach that would be gordon hayward of the utah jazz he is going to be opting out he's twenty seven years old the average over almost twenty two points a game this past season with the jazz jazz and a pretty good spot and they can offer a more money and they got to the second round of the playoffs they have a good team maybe want to play a frizzle coach but that's that that did well that's why the speculation here if there was ever a team that i think he would consider leaving the jazz for it might be brad stevens of the celtics this is you know and you know if you keep the picky take you pick up a word yatom so what you already have your boy that's a pretty good pretty good nucleus i mean there still probably not been the cabs but they're getting closer and they're getting closer i mean i think it's going to be tough to get him away from utah the end of the day it's hard to leave a team that made the second round the playoffs and still growing but you have that baller connection i think that's the old i think that's the only way you get him here if you do he is a guy that would take some of that pressure off isaiah thomas from scoring and maybe open him up a little more as well so that would help authentically and you put that with someone like bolts of you can get full you know really produce off the bench in his first season that's you know you're you're in pretty good shape outside of finding someone that can i would because at some point here the celtics going to bog themselves down too many young kids guys you got to sign and pay and keep them let go so you've got you've got to start making some moves at some point but you also want to keep extending that window of opportunity to win as long as you can because as know your point guard for that second unit so there's a lot but there's a lot there's going to have to pee some cuts along the way i think you can't oh yeah second things i think jay crowder probably ends up being the odd man out the summer if someone like  odd man out because he signed a cheap money so he's good trade bait for to another team as well but there's definitely danny has a lot of work to do and i think the team we see in early to mid october is going to be a lot different than the team we see take the floor against the cavs tomorrow night i agree to yeah no question but it's going to be a fun offseason to follow certainly up for this i love it i've got another month where i don't have to pay attention to the red sox and you know what we're not going to pay attention to him tonight either because we're almost of time and i have some more housekeeping we need to do one of the things i want to take this opportunity to do here on time out for sports talk i want to say they can graduations to a dear old
