I dont think they showed the whole show on International ESPN as they
seemed to be coming into segments after saying something and the show I
saw was 30 minutes, did I see the whole version?

Okay

this is off memory, and it ain't that good, cos I just seen the C's win.

On Kentucky- they spoke about how good it was to get Tubby Smith into
it, and it got rid of the ghost of an ex-coach (cant remember the name)
who was racist.

On the Celtics plan- 5 year plan. Playoffs by 3, Championships by the
5th.

Can they make the playoffs this year- It is not out of the question. If
they fight and fight all the way out, anything is possible. It would
quicken the process if they made it next year.

on Mashburn- basically that hes the hardest worker that hes had. He told
him he was going pro before Mash had even thought about it. I think he
really wants him at the C's.

on Walker- If I remember correctly he said he will be a superstar and he
has a great intensity? Hes a natural leader, will be $100m player.

A lot of it was talking about what players need to succeed with him and
thats basically being a really hard worker, serious about their
basketball, game plan, etc. 

He said that to sell a player on his plan the player needs to see
development and improvement in their own game, if that happens they have
sold the plan to the player.

I hope I'm correct in everything, if I'm not someone please correct me.
