" Hi I'm -- Brock please be joined by foxsports.com. NBA Owens Marcus Johnson he is here to preview the Atlantic division I guess we've talked they'll let it there's no other place to hold the ball Celtic. Great team yet but they're getting enough there -- a little bit the Big Three but not -- I know that the window of opportunity is closing but would you -- that this is it this year with these three guys got to get it -- yeah yeah this is it for them. And and it didn't help that you know Rasheed Wallace -- new acquisition is being she'd she'd starting solutions. Kind of stuff the -- to win."
" She does that addicting -- two wins for the student gotta be okay wind and many bad medicines for the win -- I don't think it's gonna happen and an -- if I'm that I'm Paul Pierce -- Ray Allen and then again and KG just like if they so let's see but. I like that pick up playing in mid thirties he's still got some game left but Marquis Daniels is a guy. But they Indiana didn't get a lot of notice though the last few years in this league but a lot of times when you put a guy like that into this kind of situation this kind of oh look solid. Veterans around him who know how to shoot and score and pass to play the game of basketball a guy like Marquis Daniels can really first big baby Davis -- that was it was a key aren't you in the are easily bring him back. But you know I'd I'd take that data is gonna be to be that we debated the key with this team if they can play the greatest defense that the that the NBA -- ever seen they have a chance I think of being NBA champions again but. I just don't know if they can they help -- I just -- happening over the advanced age of their veterans right."
" And Rasheed should learn. Under promise over deliver the ball right before I had done last season the Philadelphia extra -- they'd bring an Elton Brand everybody in Philadelphia is like you know lot of neighbors here. Guy -- heard barely played let's say he's healthy all year. Is that Philadelphia team going to be with the fans thought it was going to be last year which is competing for division type -- yeah."
" I don't think that -- this team last year they went 41 games without Elton Brand make the playoffs Andre Iguodala you start with him on Arizona I mean just a terrific. Player gifted basketball very gifted athlete -- really kind of come and his own. It's always direct contrast of styles between what Elton Brand. Need to be successful low post presence kind of slow it down wait for me. That you got -- we have any young and edited it Iguodala who -- the pushing up the beavers have been on the basketball floor. How the admission merged fills those contrasting stout is gonna be a big issue for -- so because of that. They may improve for five victories but I don't think they're gonna be this juggernaut that people. Walked in Philadelphia not expect but wanton Phillips -- anybody is looking for a challenge the Celtics look to Philadelphia south 121. Games last year. Anybody out that that in this division that we could think of well maybe. Only -- if you look at Toronto Raptors and you gotta throw them in the mix and Hedo Turkoglu is. Offseason injury issues hopefully will be resolved by the time the season gets into full swing. He brings them just around the the the consummate kind of play making small four point sport if you will. I love this game a little wooden did -- the Lakers in the finals last year justice a tremendous pick up four. For a for Toronto but they've got a couple other pieces of it was Chris Bosh obviously the All-Star pencil him in 23 points twelve rebounds a game he's bigger he's stronger this year. The got a rookie coming in I USC's only twenty years old 1920 years old Demar Derozan and he dunk on people actually -- and did their games that they demoralization was what I call when you know you just tomorrow I think people. But but but he is going to be one the most exciting play Italy and little -- black holes how about all their point guard. Has led the league in -- just eternal racial the last two years. And by a major margin or Chris Paul west just he's one up what other than the best point guards are taking care of the basketball. Bargnani is a great out actually a first ever put it. They've got major -- is on this basketball team I think he can come together. And they may be the team I think it's out of the Celtics."
" He had personally at Toronto I think in no way but then you go through the players they are legit -- Gurode did they do all right that is Marques Johnson thank you -- in action.
