my favourite part:
Ross, Boston: Hey Doc, I love the depth on the roster! What's the outlook for Kendrick Perkins this year? If he can keep from fouling, I love his presence and boards.

Doc Rivers: I love his presence on the board as well and on the defensive end. He's our best shotblocker and lowpost defender. He needs to work on staying out of foul trouble and sometimes it's just a matter of getting the minutes so you can learn that.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dana (Lawence): Hey Doc! With the influx of even more young talent, do you see the increase in athleticism as leading to a playoff berth again this season? Keep up the good work!

Doc Rivers: I do. I believe we'll make the playoffs. Our young guys will have to play well for us to do it. They have the energy and athleticism and we need to use that, because they also sometimes lack the experience and savvy that veteran players have.

Darn, this is an east coast bias!!! 95% of the questions came from the east coast. No love for the west coast or for Hawaii.

Doc says a lot of nice things about everyone he talks about. Even if he doesn't like the guy or the player's game, he'll say good things about the player I want to know what he really thinks.

The Boston Celtics is not a just team of basketball players, but is a world wide family of individuals who bleed green and follow the team through thick and thin. No such thing as fair weather Celtics fans.

The time Delonte was on the chat, I only posted questions 2 days prior to the chat. With Doc, it was the day before. My questions must be at the bottom of the list.

I prefer 'bottom of the list' over 'bottom of the dung-heap'... j/k DM, you know...

You might want to stop asking these guys over for chips and salsa, after the interview. ;D

And yes, these fan chats are east coast bias. I never see anyone else from CA on them or anything.
