eat feeling looks talking tough
He's doing much better. He looks great. He's feeling better. He's talking more. We've got to get him to eat and all that stuff, but at 88, it would probably be tough to get me to eat, too.
close pierce reason
Pierce is one big reason for (winning close games) and Gomes has been on an unbelievable roll.
absolutely knew paul realize
Paul was absolutely sensational tonight. I didn't realize they had 50 and 43. I knew they had a lot. I could sense that. I just didn't know it was that high. Pretty cool.
effort gave paul rather superhuman
Paul gave a superhuman effort for us to get back in this game. You'd rather have a balance, but I'd take 40 from Paul.
actions louder obviously speak
He's back. We had another talk. It went well, but actions obviously speak louder than words.
coach guy loves numbers opened people trade
He was kind of a throw-in guy in the trade to make the numbers work, but he has come in here and opened my eyes. Our big-man coach loves him, loves all the little things he does. He's a banger. He's physical. We need that. He's going to make it very interesting. I think he's already making people uncomfortable.
hurting move positive team worried year
He just wasn't responding. He couldn't move out on the floor. He was hurting the team and he was hurting himself. I was worried about the confidence. At the end of the year the one thing I try to protect, especially with our young guys, is going into the (summer) with a positive feeling.
figure hurt tried warming
When he tried to go, he hurt it warming up before the game. We're really short-handed at that position, we're going to have to try to figure out something if he's going to be out.
came franchise turned
Nash is Terrell Owens for them. He came in and turned the whole franchise around with his performance.
complete
I just don't get it. He was a complete player.
intensity playoff rare regular
It's rare when you can get a playoff intensity in the regular season.
bothered defense hard paul toll took work
Their defense really bothered us. Paul had to work way too hard to get his offense. I thought it took a toll on him.
drive hands intentions office played playing ran ready reason saying shoes starting time
I had no intentions of playing him. I didn't think he wanted to play. But he ran into my office with his shoes in his hands saying he was ready to go. The only reason I played him was because he was starting at me every freaking time out. I told the coaches, we have to put him in, or he's going to drive me nuts.
surprised
I'm hoping. Let me put it this way. I would be surprised if it didn't go that way every night.
