Zach chats with longtime NBA assistant coach Kevin Eastman about getting into coaching, meeting Doc Rivers by chance, taking a spot on his staff with the Boston Celtics, assembling the Big 3, Rajon Rondo's development, filling out the bench with veterans like Eddie House, James Posey, Sam Cassell, and P.J. Brown, adversity the team faced, the 2008 season, having to win two Game 7's early in the playoffs, beating the Pistons in the Eastern Conference Finals, matching up against the late Kobe Bryant in the NBA Finals, Leon Powe's legendary performance in Game 2, Tony Allen's exceptional defense on Kobe, what it was like to hoist the Larry O'Brien Trophy, losing Kendrick Perkins in Game 6 of the 2010 Finals, losing to the Lakers, being "traded" to the Clippers, coaching the "Lob City" team, and what he sees for Rondo in the future.
