goes knowing repetition run seem sure wait
He just doesn't seem real sure of what he's doing out there right now. Again, it goes back to repetition and knowing how to run our offense. . . . I can't wait for Speedy to get back.
deserves ethic kirk matter tells works
Kirk (Snyder) deserves a shot. Kirk works his butt off every day. He's still out here. Matter of fact, do you see J.R.? (Smith had left.) That pretty much tells it. It's work ethic -- he has to work harder.
chance city days fact felt few game guilty guys katrina last left
Just the fact that all of those guys had a chance to be here for a few days and get around the city and see some of the devastation that Katrina left made them feel a little guilty. I think the guys felt a little guilty after the last game that they had to come in and give a better effort.
games gives good guys shows team win
I think it's a good thing for our team right now. If we can win games without Chris, I think it gives these guys even more confidence. And it also shows when he comes back that we'll even be better.
game hard knew playing
He was well-adjusted in October. He's just having fun. He's playing hard and he knew this was a game that we had to win.
basketball best phoenix playing type year
He had his best year in Phoenix playing the type of basketball that we play.
arena capable confidence garden historic knows special stuff ultimate
He has the ultimate confidence in his stuff with what he's capable of doing. I think it's just special for him to play at the Garden because he knows how historic this arena is.
capable confidence stuff ultimate
He has the ultimate confidence in his stuff with what he's capable of doing.
beat bottom guy kirk record speaks starter
He had a guy that beat him out, and to me that's the bottom line. That's all it's about. If you look at our record with him as a starter and you look at our record with Kirk as a starter, to me that speaks for itself.
couple feels
He feels pretty good, but they want to give him a couple of more days.
gives guy minutes plays tough
He gives us another guy that can really just go up and down the floor, that can fly. He just plays big-time minutes and he's a tough kid.
good job knew kobe work
We knew we weren't going to be able to keep Kobe under 30, but you want to make him work for it. And I think we did a pretty good job of that.
belong chance fact guys playing prove time
There are some guys that didn't prove (they want to play). If they don't look at this as a chance to get some playing time and legitimize the fact they belong in this league, then they are going to be in trouble.
certain confident game guys sure
We're still not confident in what we're doing from game to game. I'm still not sure what I'm going to get from everybody. There's certain guys that I know what I'm going to get, but there's too many guys that I don't.
