On this Celtics team, I don't know how much you've been able to watch, but what would

have you observed from then that maybe you could apply to whether it's your own team

or a team from a coaching perspective?

Well, and obviously they played great in the last two-thirds of the season on the playoffs.

They're really consistent, they've got a lot of good players and they're really good

defense, they're tough, they hustle, play smart, basketball, pleasure to watch, fun to watch.

Yeah, I can tell you really enjoys the game, it's thrilled by it.

Johnny Personality, and it just shows you that like there's nothing about that answer

that in any way would have revealed any type of strategic element of what he's thinking

about the Patriots.

No, or what are the things about the Celtics to you, how it applies to this guarded demeanor.

And that's fine, that's fine, that's fine, he's allowed to act however he wants, he's

the greatest of all time if he wants to have, and I say that because people tell me all

the time he's got such a great personality, how far do you have to get him away from football

for a half?

Is it like a magnet that completely changes him into a different person, but you will get

the periodic, somebody asks some random obscure question about a long snapper from 1942

and I'll go on this 8,000 word monologue about some specific nuance of football that he

just happens to find fascinating and that he's confident has no relevance whatsoever to

what it is he's trying to do with the New England Patriots.

I still, I saw a picture of him like Wave and a Let's Go Celtics towel, you know you

and I have argued about this before.
