fact golden heard hearing kept phoenix team
I heard after the fact that Phoenix wanted him. The team that we really kept hearing was Golden State.
allen available five fourth game players playing ray seven
I have to say that it was our fourth game in five nights. We had seven players available and Ray Allen was playing sick.
changed easier job players proud stuff
I really got after the players ... and they responded really, really well. I changed a lot of stuff right away and they made my job easier because they cooperated so much. From that standpoint, I was proud of them.
players
I really got after the players . . . and they responded really, really well.
accept move stay sue worries
I have no worries that he will stay in shape. What can you do about the decision? You have to accept it. What are you going to do, sue the league? We have to move on.
chance define fair four games played
I had to give him a real chance and let him define himself. I think if you are being really fair and honest, he has had four games where he played really well. The other four weren't so good.
control great point proven quickness tempo
In Earl, we get a proven point guard. He has great quickness and can control the tempo of the game.
hear needs
I'm having to play him too many minutes. He doesn't want to hear this, but I think he is tired. I think he needs someone to give him a break.
bitter crunch fourth game luke playing time
I'm comfortable with Earl in the game (in the fourth quarter) because he's playing so good. If Luke was playing that good, he'd be in the game. Earl was in the game in the bitter end, but Luke was in there in crunch time also.
assuming goes hopefully maybe rehab rest schedule sunday vigorous
I'm assuming he'll be a day-to-day situation. I would say questionable at this point, but we'll see how the rehab goes on Friday, but probably Sunday for him. Our schedule is pretty vigorous the rest of the way. Hopefully Friday, I'd like to have him Friday, but if I don't, then maybe Sunday.
courage
It was huge. He's got a lot of courage.
quarter took
It was great. It was like a place revisited in my life. And I think the first quarter, it took me a quarter to kind of feel as comfortable as I should. Then once I got that first quarter over with, it was great.
beat built deep diminish great guys together tonight top win
Not to diminish their win, but we had some guys go down tonight on top of the other guys that we have that are beat up right now. The Spurs are a great team. They are long, they play together and they are a deep team. They are built to win a championship.
beat built entirely five high improved number run shoot six team trading
After the trading deadline, I put in the whole thing entirely and we improved after the first five or six games. I've got to tell you, as long as this team is built the way it is, that number (points allowed) is going to be high because we're going to run and shoot the ball. We can't beat you just with our defense. We're not built that way. We have to beat you also with our offense.
