ball brown career coach honestly
I honestly thought as long as I got there before the ball went up, everything would be cool. I've been doing it that way my whole career and it never was a problem, even when coach (Larry) Brown was here.
games hope last played promise
I promise you it's not that. If I can play the way I played the last two games from some controversy, I will hope there's controversy going on all of the time.
beginning games whipped
If I had an explanation, I would give it. We just got whipped from beginning to end tonight. During the season, you will have games like this.
beginning whipped
If I had an explanation, I'd give it. We just got whipped from beginning to end. They did everything right, and we couldn't do anything right.
leave love
If I leave Philadelphia, it's not because I want to leave. I'm still in love with the place. I want to be here.
across came definitely disrespect everybody talking trying upset
I definitely wasn't trying to disrespect Mo in any way, or the fans, as everybody is talking about. I've been here for 10 years, and to deliberately try to disrespect the fans, I would never try to do that in any way. I'm upset it came across that way.
alive fighting turn worth
I can't tell you anything that is going to make you feel like we are going to turn it around. All I can say is we are still alive and we still have a chance. And that is worth fighting for.
losing playoffs rather
I'd rather go to the playoffs than not go, even with a losing record. Because once you get there, you never know.
dress problem
I dress to make myself comfortable. I really do have a problem with it. . . it's just not right.
basketball everybody focusing game good helped importance knows meeting york
I feel like everybody knows what is at stake. Everybody knows the importance of every game. We had a good meeting before the game in New York and I think it helped us out because it got us focusing on what we need to do as a basketball team.
calling everybody fan game people phone popcorn sure watching
I had my popcorn just like probably everybody else. I was watching, and I was calling people up on the phone to make sure they were watching it. It's like, when you see a game like that, you're so much a fan ...
calls reminded rookie saying seen veterans
I never seen a rookie get that many calls going to the basket. He kind of reminded myself of me when I was a rookie, just going in there and being able to get calls and all the veterans saying they never seen a rookie get calls like that.
couple everybody finger games losing pointing
I?m used to us losing a couple of games and everybody pointing a finger at me,
average ball both call certain coach coming easy finding five four guess job learning plays points season tells time together vice wants work
I guess it's just having time to play with each other and learning each other, just finding out how he wants to play and vice versa. He told me coming into the season that he wasn't doing his job if I didn't average four or five more points than I had been, and he was right because I am. ... We work together. We find out what plays we want to run. When we call plays for him, he tells me things he can do to get me an easy basket. And when a play is called for me, I let him know, if they take certain things away from me, what I can get for him. So it's just having some chemistry, being together and having a coach that understands that both of us need the ball and understands how both of us want to play.
