0:00:19.600 --> 0:00:24.280
<v Speaker 1>Good morning everybody. This morning, you're gonna sort of joining

0:00:24.360 --> 0:00:27.240
<v Speaker 1>with me on my daily walk. It's a routine. I

0:00:27.280 --> 0:00:30.880
<v Speaker 1>get up really early, probably five thirty ish and and

0:00:31.080 --> 0:00:35.000
<v Speaker 1>walked for a ten thousand steps. We've got these incredible

0:00:35.560 --> 0:00:40.560
<v Speaker 1>sort of rings that these wearable things that were provided

0:00:40.640 --> 0:00:44.159
<v Speaker 1>to us by the NBA. And although it's not a

0:00:44.200 --> 0:00:48.600
<v Speaker 1>big space, it's probably the size of three football fields

0:00:49.080 --> 0:00:54.440
<v Speaker 1>Houston Rockets kind of home area. Brooklyn's over here. I'll

0:00:54.440 --> 0:00:58.680
<v Speaker 1>circle back and this is our area. Is one side

0:00:58.680 --> 0:01:02.640
<v Speaker 1>that's a marina. And then this was an incredible, sort

0:01:02.680 --> 0:01:08.080
<v Speaker 1>of amazingly quick erection of a building. So you can

0:01:08.080 --> 0:01:12.360
<v Speaker 1>see the NBA barbershop, which really is outside of my room.

0:01:12.400 --> 0:01:17.800
<v Speaker 1>It took about eighteen hours and you blink and you know,

0:01:17.840 --> 0:01:22.120
<v Speaker 1>the NBA builds a barbershop for the players. The NBA

0:01:22.200 --> 0:01:26.280
<v Speaker 1>truly like they've they've done something spectacular with the design

0:01:26.319 --> 0:01:30.199
<v Speaker 1>of this. I really go silent, like I really enjoy

0:01:30.400 --> 0:01:34.880
<v Speaker 1>just silence, and for me, it is just the way

0:01:34.920 --> 0:01:38.520
<v Speaker 1>to think about what you want to get done during

0:01:38.640 --> 0:01:43.520
<v Speaker 1>the Dayly preparation for stuff you know down the road

0:01:43.720 --> 0:01:46.520
<v Speaker 1>is a part of it. But I like the I

0:01:46.600 --> 0:01:49.880
<v Speaker 1>like the piece, and I like the silence. But yeah,

0:01:49.920 --> 0:01:54.040
<v Speaker 1>this is my morning walk and glad that you could

0:01:54.080 --> 0:02:02.440
<v Speaker 1>be included at our reason or everybody is in close proximity.

0:02:03.440 --> 0:02:08.160
<v Speaker 1>I think it's fantastic. It's really the youthful feeling. I mean,

0:02:08.160 --> 0:02:10.160
<v Speaker 1>it's like you feel like you're back at college. You're

0:02:10.200 --> 0:02:14.320
<v Speaker 1>bumping into people, coaches, players, you say hello to people

0:02:15.000 --> 0:02:19.040
<v Speaker 1>you know at the at the restaurant. You feel very

0:02:19.120 --> 0:02:24.480
<v Speaker 1>much connected to the fraternity because of the environment. And

0:02:24.560 --> 0:02:29.080
<v Speaker 1>some of it's because you're so secluded, you're confined to

0:02:29.160 --> 0:02:33.079
<v Speaker 1>this bubble area. Some of it is just the frequency

0:02:33.120 --> 0:02:37.040
<v Speaker 1>of unusual sort of visits that you just wouldn't normally

0:02:37.080 --> 0:02:41.160
<v Speaker 1>get with old time friends. The opportunity is very small.

0:02:41.240 --> 0:02:43.360
<v Speaker 1>You know, I've been in the league now for twenty years.

0:02:44.520 --> 0:02:47.280
<v Speaker 1>I've been with a bunch of staffs. I've had a

0:02:47.280 --> 0:02:49.680
<v Speaker 1>bunch of staffs as a head coach, you know, I

0:02:49.800 --> 0:02:53.160
<v Speaker 1>coached in many Olympic Games an overseas, and so like

0:02:53.320 --> 0:02:56.799
<v Speaker 1>your network is vast. When I go back to sort

0:02:56.800 --> 0:02:59.880
<v Speaker 1>of my spurs roots to bump into you know, Mike Boo,

0:03:00.160 --> 0:03:05.480
<v Speaker 1>holes of, Sam Presty, Sean Mark, Jack Vaughn, Monty Williams. Pop.

0:03:06.000 --> 0:03:08.399
<v Speaker 1>You don't either taught them, have a glass of wine,

0:03:08.440 --> 0:03:11.600
<v Speaker 1>have a legitimate meal with them. All that stuff has happened.

0:03:11.800 --> 0:03:15.400
<v Speaker 1>And you know, because we're here for so long, it's

0:03:15.440 --> 0:03:18.120
<v Speaker 1>not like you here just for a weekend. You know

0:03:18.200 --> 0:03:23.320
<v Speaker 1>you're here and like you're legitimately here in a living situation.

0:03:23.480 --> 0:03:27.840
<v Speaker 1>So the opportunities to bump into these people is frequent.

0:03:28.919 --> 0:03:34.120
<v Speaker 1>I've tremendously enjoyed seeing players like how Old and Kyle

0:03:34.200 --> 0:03:38.720
<v Speaker 1>O'Quinn have success. It's too arious to me. You have

0:03:38.840 --> 0:03:41.240
<v Speaker 1>to be in the moment, you have to stay ready.

0:03:41.280 --> 0:03:44.320
<v Speaker 1>You've got to do it physically first, and then mentally second.

0:03:44.440 --> 0:03:48.480
<v Speaker 1>The combination equals when an opportunity presents itself, maybe you

0:03:48.520 --> 0:03:52.080
<v Speaker 1>can do something. Then the preparation to be able to

0:03:52.120 --> 0:03:56.680
<v Speaker 1>play like they played was outstanding. And then second, it's

0:03:56.720 --> 0:03:59.000
<v Speaker 1>not easy to do that. In the respect that I

0:03:59.080 --> 0:04:02.480
<v Speaker 1>have for them as people and as great teammates, that's

0:04:02.480 --> 0:04:05.200
<v Speaker 1>all recognized by their peers, and so it was a

0:04:05.200 --> 0:04:08.640
<v Speaker 1>great situation and I'm happy for them. As much for

0:04:08.800 --> 0:04:12.560
<v Speaker 1>personal reasons as I am for reasons being their coach.

0:04:15.680 --> 0:04:19.120
<v Speaker 1>So we got the OKAC pick. I'd be lying if

0:04:19.120 --> 0:04:21.479
<v Speaker 1>I said I was following it closely, but I certainly

0:04:21.520 --> 0:04:24.039
<v Speaker 1>followed it enough to be aware of the irony of

0:04:24.080 --> 0:04:27.479
<v Speaker 1>it all. With Mike Muscala, you know, you smile. It's like,

0:04:27.560 --> 0:04:33.159
<v Speaker 1>there's not much that surprises me lately on just dot connection.

0:04:33.760 --> 0:04:38.279
<v Speaker 1>You know, how did somebody end up someplace? And it oftentimes,

0:04:38.360 --> 0:04:42.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, influences paths of franchises. One you know, somebody

0:04:42.120 --> 0:04:44.240
<v Speaker 1>goes to the right, as somebody goes to the left.

0:04:44.720 --> 0:04:47.680
<v Speaker 1>I think we we all, you know, should feel quite

0:04:47.680 --> 0:04:51.280
<v Speaker 1>proud that in the course of our sort of rebuild,

0:04:51.360 --> 0:04:54.760
<v Speaker 1>you trip on a ping pong ball with Ben Simmons

0:04:54.880 --> 0:04:59.400
<v Speaker 1>and you know a guest's right injury with Joel Do

0:04:59.560 --> 0:05:01.960
<v Speaker 1>we draft somebody like that and you blake And they're

0:05:02.040 --> 0:05:05.040
<v Speaker 1>very young and their NBA Allstars, they are needle movies,

0:05:05.080 --> 0:05:09.280
<v Speaker 1>they're franchise builders and they're really young picks. And how

0:05:09.320 --> 0:05:13.480
<v Speaker 1>people arrived in different spots. I'm always following that. Some

0:05:13.560 --> 0:05:15.320
<v Speaker 1>of it's a little bit of luck, some of it's

0:05:15.320 --> 0:05:19.680
<v Speaker 1>a little bit of faith. But yeah, I followed too,

0:05:20.040 --> 0:05:24.520
<v Speaker 1>and sometimes reconnecting the dots is also an interesting exercise.

0:05:28.200 --> 0:05:32.039
<v Speaker 1>When I think of the seventy Sixes and the Celtics

0:05:32.080 --> 0:05:36.839
<v Speaker 1>in the playoffs my youth, the first thing that comes

0:05:36.880 --> 0:05:39.960
<v Speaker 1>to my mind is me just as a young person.

0:05:40.200 --> 0:05:42.479
<v Speaker 1>I grew up in New England. You know, I'm the

0:05:42.480 --> 0:05:45.760
<v Speaker 1>son of a coach. I've been around the game my

0:05:46.000 --> 0:05:51.240
<v Speaker 1>entire life, and the Celtics sixes history is storied and

0:05:51.279 --> 0:05:56.520
<v Speaker 1>it's especially ever present in sort of New England and

0:05:56.720 --> 0:05:58.800
<v Speaker 1>especially in the environment that I grew up in. And

0:05:58.920 --> 0:06:02.280
<v Speaker 1>so to play it out from where I was just

0:06:02.360 --> 0:06:04.840
<v Speaker 1>a young kid to now where I'm the coach of

0:06:04.920 --> 0:06:07.960
<v Speaker 1>the team and once again you got a seventy six

0:06:08.000 --> 0:06:11.760
<v Speaker 1>and Celtic playoff matchup, I think it's great, you know,

0:06:11.960 --> 0:06:17.839
<v Speaker 1>for historical purposes, for sort of just like regional and

0:06:19.200 --> 0:06:23.440
<v Speaker 1>memory perspective purposes. I think for all of those things,

0:06:23.480 --> 0:06:28.600
<v Speaker 1>like the matchup is very exciting. This is from the

0:06:28.640 --> 0:06:32.840
<v Speaker 1>inside with me Rett Brown. Thank you for listening. I'll

0:06:32.839 --> 0:06:33.880
<v Speaker 1>talk to you next week.
