disappointment careers emptiness
There's a disappointment there because I still feel there's an emptiness in my career that just wasn't filled.
consistent game hope level minds playing turn
When we get our minds to playing defense, we can turn any game around. I hope we get to a more consistent level of play.
contender hope improve run
We know we have to improve defensively to be a contender down the stretch. I just hope we don't run out of time.
breathe life
We did nothing but breathe life into this team, that's all we did.
time
It is discouraging. But at the time same, I know it could have been worse.
foolish trying
We can't look at them. We've got to go out there and do it ourselves. We're foolish if we're trying to look at the referees.
hope run time
Time and work. I just hope we don't run out of time.
coming early healthy injuring risk step sure worth
I'm going to make sure that I'm healthy before I come back. It's important for me to be right before I step back on the court, especially going into the post-season. I don't want to risk coming back too early and injuring it again. It wouldn't be worth it.
given intense playing reflect situations sure time
I'm sure these two years have given him some time to reflect and think differently. But at the same time, I know we'll get into some intense situations on the court. And if we're not playing up to our potential, we're going to see the old Riles.
games instead leg matter nba percent route talking win
It's a matter of when my leg is ready. We're talking about 16 games we've got to win (en route to the NBA championship), and I want to make the right decision. As we progress, I want to be 100 percent instead of 75 percent or 65 percent.
anybody close lose man
It's devastating to lose anybody in your family. But I don't know a man who's not close with his mom.
continues
Every day that it continues to progress, I'm able to see improvement.
improve record science tells
The record pretty much tells it all. We have to improve to get where we want to be. There's no science to it.
couple falling game opportunity thank truly
Everything is just falling into place. I do feel great. I feel good, thank God. I'm very, very appreciative of this opportunity that I have. And I play the game like I'm appreciative, because I truly am. I know a couple years ago, I didn't think I was going to be able to do this again.
